Huron helps patients
JohnMacKinnon, Social
Services administrator, asked
County Council for more money
in 1975 to cover additional
costs which may be ,incurred
by the committee in providing
assistance to the boarders at
Heather Gardens in Vanastra.
The home operated by Clair
Haskett, a former psychiatric
nurse, provides a home for pat-
ients who have been released
from psychiatric hospitals in
London, St. Thomas, Woodstock
and Goderich. The social serv-
ices is presently providing ass-
istance to 16 of the 27 boarders
of the home since there is no
government funding while the
remaining boards are able to
pay for their room and board
with disability and old -age •
pensions.
In the social services com-
mittee report the committee
stated that it is concerned
about the potentially large
number of cases that could be
generated from the opening of
such a home. The home could
eventually have 70-100 boarders
.nd as a result the committee
added $30, 000 to the budget
to provide for this although they
hope it will not be required.
Elgin Thompson, reeve of
Tuckersmith, said that council
has been 'led down the garden
path' and it was unfortunate
that the people of Huron County
had to look after these people
who had come in from outside
the county.
Brussels reeve, Jack Mc-
Cutcheon, argued that the board
ers at the home would be an
added financial load to Huron
County and that the financing
should come from the province
and not the residents. He stated
that since the residents were
corning from outside the county
that Huron County was handling
someone elses burden.
Mr. MacKinnon stated that
anyone who comes to Huron
County then becomes the resp-
onsibility of the county. Despite
the fact that many of them
come from St. Thomas they
have taken up residence in a
private home and therefore
become private residents. He
stated that they can apply for

disability pension and all have
been referred to welfare and
that the county should lose all
financial responsibility.
Goderich reeve, Stan Profit,
concurred with Mr. MacKinnon's
stand saying to council. "We
must remember that these people
are not animals, they are hum-
an beings. "
Mr. MacKinnon said that no
one received any warning but
Mrs. Haskett simply came and
started the home. He continu-
ed saying that at this point
council's concerns should be
about potential fire hazards
at the home, supervision
and financial arrangements.
Dr. Frank Mills, medical
officer of health, agreed With
Mr. MacKinnon
