Council goes on record as
opposing Bluewater closure
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
Huron County Council went on record as being op-
posed to theclosing of the 'Bluewater Centre for the
developmentally handicapped the same day as Com-
munity and'Social Services Minister Frank Drea con-
firmed rumors the centre will be phased out.
The minister announced on Thursday; Oct. 28 that
the Bluewater Centre, located on Highway 21, south
• of. Goderich will shut its doors by raid -1984. At the
same time Huron County Council took its stand, after
hearing a delegation of concerned citizens.
"There will be unhappiness all around,"
spokesman Norman, McHolm predicted if the centre
is closed.
Mr. McHolm, who resides in the vicinity of the cen-
tre, said he attended a meeting on Oct. 25 at which,
, tgne the centre's volunteer association expressed its
concerns. Until Thursday, the possible closing of the
centre was just rumor.
attended the meeting on Monday just for general
interest, but there is quite a concern. There appears
to be no rhyme nor reason for the, closing," Mr.
McHolni said to county council.
The province's intention is to have those that are
able to live in group'hames, while those unable to live
in the community will be moved to other fagilities. Af-
fected employees will be given assistance m retrain-
ing or relocating.
Mr. McHolm said, while he accepts the idea of
group homes, there are problems trying to get the
public to accept them. He anticipates problems such
as a lack of staffing and supervision, a loss of. recrea-
tion for the residents and possibly the exploitation of
individuals by landlords. He recited a situation in
London, where a landlord rented out one . room, a
bathroom, where the bathtub was the bed.
The parents of the residents at tl#e centre are also.a
cause of concern for Mr. McHolm. He said a lot of ,the
parents are in their senior years and have looked
after their children as long as they have been
physically able. He said he spoke to one parent, a
man in his seventies, who had to wait four and a half
years to get his daughter into the Bluewater Centre.
It then took the daughter two years to get adjusted to
the new environment.
Besides the upset to the residents, Mr. McHolm
said staff will also suffer. He said there is enough of a
strain now on the economy without having more peo-
ple without jobs.
'Mere will be a hardship on the citizens of the
community, the parents and 'residents," concluded
Mr. McHolm.
The Bluewater Centre, which opened in 1976 is one
of six similar institutions across the province that
will be phased out over the next five year . The Com-
munity and Social Services Minister told the provin-
cial legislature that, $33 million will, be put in com-
munity resources over the next five years, with $23
• million of that raised by the closing of the centres.
Thieves get $3600 worth of tools
Lakeport Steel robbed
Thieves made off with $3600 worth of tools and
welding equipment after breaking into Lakeport Steel
on Highway 21 in Colborne Township on the evening
of Saturday, October 30.
This is the second time in two years that the same
building has been robbed. The Goderich detachment
--of-tlTeOPP are continuing their investigation.
Local police report a "generally quiet" Halloween.
There were some windows broken in various,
buildings around town and two reports of tainted
candy. Police investigated the candy and say that
both reports were unfounded.
• There was a break-in at a house on Oxford Street on
Wednesday evening, October 27. Some food was
stolen. There was also a break-in at the Ultramar gas
Bar on Huron Road by two men on Friday even*,
October 29 at 8 p.m. One of the would-be robbers hit
\his head during the break-in and later received
•
stitches at AM&G hospital. Both men were ap-
prehended and charges are pending.
There was .one car theft during the week but the
vehicle was later returned to the owner and the whole
incident is thought to have been a Halloween'prank.
In total there were 10 thefts during the week, seven
of them being bicycles:- There was- also one drug of-
fence, one minor car accident, two criminal code
offences and 10 incidents of mischief and wilful
damage, most of those involving broken windows on
Halloween.
Police made four arrests, issued 13 warnings and
laid five criminal charges, six liquor charges and
seven Highway Traffic Act charges.

JIM SEARLS TO COUNCIL
NOVEMBER 8, 1982
Tuesday on the topic of
Palliative Care.
Mrs. Osborn is the co-
ordinator of volunteers for
this service which is now
offeredat Alexandra Marine
and (3hneral Hospital:
Palliative Care volunteers
are assigned to patients
diagnosed with terminal
illnesses. • They provide a
friendly visiting service with
occasional night sitting to
comfort the patient and the
family. The volunteers may
accompany the patient on
visits to the hospital. They
work closely with other
helping services such as the
VON, Red Cross and Cancer
Society.
Mrs. Osborn showed a film
that vividly portrayed a
mother's growing awareness
of her impending death and
its impact on her young
family.
Palliative Care volunteers
are warm, caring people,
trained to help the ter-
minally ill patient make this
passage among friends.
Mrs. Osborn said that the
program has received a
considerable impetus from
the recent restraints placed
on the growth of hospital
budgets.
"Grief is the price we pay
for loving," said Mrs.
Osborn speaking of the
process of bereavement she
and her volunteers know so
well in their service to the
community.
Mrs. Osborn's remarks
were well received by the
club members who share her
ideal of service.
