Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1987-02-25, Page 5a Dear Editor: As soon as the cold weather arrives, cats become more susceptible to a painful death or injury; being litterally "ripped to shreds" in the fan or far)belt of a vehicle. During cold weather, cats tend to huddle a••ound the engines of vehicles in a desperate attempt to keep warm. This un- fortunate, albeit understandable, habit leads to the deaths or injuries for numerous cats annually in Ontario. - Cats tend to crawl up under the hood of parked vehicles. Once the owner returns to the vehicle and starts the engine the cat is unaware of the imminent diner until.it is toe) late.

Enclosed is a fetter prepared by the In- tegration Action Group in support of "Special Services at Home." A provincial review is now' taking place and we feel public attention to the issues will ensure ;'intimation of this worthwhile service_ The Honourable John Sweeney Minister of Community & Social Services Dear Mr. Sweeney: At the local chapter of the' integration Ac- tion Group some concerns were expressed about the . review. Since both Special Ser- vices At. Horne and the Integration Action Group focus on integrating people into the community, we would like to share these concerns with you. Parents of children with a developmental handicap in Huron County have benefitted greatly from both the parent relief and pro- gramming aspects of Special- Services At Home, It.has improved the quality of life for these children and their families. These ser- vices are not available elsewhere' inthe county. Our basic concern is that "this service • might be cut back or so restricted as a result of the review that the quality of life now en- joyed,might be diminished. 'Some, of the specific issues are: `Ever increasing administration fees use up to one-third of the maximum allottrnent which should be for direct service. SnrfP seeking warmth. Alerting any cats lerking under the hood of your vehicle should be done each time 1'uu start the engine. This way you will develop a habit of alerting cats and will be less likely to forget. While cats are less likely to crawl up under the hood of a vehicle In the warmer weather, being curious creatures they have been known to do so. So, before starting your vehicles engine, alert .those felines which night be seeking shelter under the hood of your vehicle. Sincerely, N. Glenn I'errett Hunianii Education Coordinator ecial Services program forum of separate administrative budget would alleviate this. "Presently children using the service must be labelled developmentally handicapped. We feel that any child with extraordinary • needs shoult1 have access to the psograrn, without being burdened with a lifetime label. Academic, occupational therapy, speech and physiotherapy for school age children will not be provided ,through Special Ser- vices because the ministry feels that other ministries should assume responsibilities for these areas. These services are available, but only on a consultation basis. Realistically, many children require sup- plements to the programs' and services they receive from the Ministries of Education and Health. We feel that Special Services At Horne is the only source of this supplemen- tary service. It • appears to"i us that the original guidelines for Special Services have been in- terpreted differently throughout the Pro- vince which indicates that they ' were not clear and they were not made 'available. to those administering the program directly. We also feel that the original guidelines did not provide , adequately for the ongoing needs of families. This is evidenced by the overwhelming requests for service which has, resulted in • an over -expenditure of monies in the Province'. We trust that the Ministry of Community amp looking for ,alumni Dear Editor: .
