Block Parents, a 26 -year history
by Pat Livingston
Last week was Block Parent
Week, and Marianne MacBride,
chair of the provincial program
toured some schools in Bruce
County, reminding students exactly
what the program is all about. .
The program has been working
effectively for 26 years. Within
Lucknow, 47 homes are designated
as safe havens for children and
adults alike to seek help or refuge.
MacBride said when an ap-
plication is made by someone wan-
ting to be. a Block Parent, everyone
in that home who is over 16 must
sign he application. The application
is given to the police who then
screen those names for criminal
records. "We are very, very careful
who has Block Parent signs,” says
MacBride. "Even if a person has no
criminal record and is approved by
the provincial execuuve to become
a Block Parent, the final .decision is
that of the executive within each
community. They know the
people."
A criminal record is not the only
reason a person- may be refused.
Another reason could be, as an
example, if that person owns 'a
vicious dog.
Once the window sign is
delivered to an approved Block
Parent home it can be displayed in
the window only when an approved
adult. (18 and over) is in the home
and can answer the door. MacBride
said a sign is not displayed if the
person is at home, but taking a
shower or resting and not able to go
to the door.
There arc various components to
the Block Parent organization. In
addition to the regular residential:
(in town) program, there is a rural
program where stickers are affixed
to both sides of the mail box. The
same rules apply regarding
placement of the sign in the win-
dow when an adult is• home and
available.
There is also the Business Parent
Program where stores with less then
eight employees can be a desig-
nated as a safe place to go for help.
All employees must be screened. A
decal -is affixed to the window
indicating the place of business is -
an, approved member of the
program.
BarbiZelm is a member of the
Lucknow Block Parent executive.
She says many of.the local volun-
teers are senior citizens. They are
always looking for more people, so
if you are interested in finding out
more about Block Parents, give
Barb a call at 528-3427.
What does the Block Parent sign
mean to you? What "be safe" tip
would share with others?
Jamie Huisser, Grade 5
"It means you can get help. In a
snowstorm, they will call your
parents so they can come and get
you."
1'You should be aware, when your
parents aren't home."
Matthew Pritchard, Grade'•5
"If you see a sign you can get
help. Like, if someone .was. fol-
lowing you."
It is important- to walk with a
friend." -
Heather Sande, Grade 5
"Block Parent means that
someone is there if you get hurt;
makes you less worried. If I got
lost I could go there." ' -
"It's really important to know
where the signs are. If a person you
know isn't at home, you can go tb
another (with the sign)."
Keith Hayes, Grade 6
"Block Parents are good and safe
and no one can hurt you."
Keith had the opportunity to use
Block Parents when his bike broke
down. "I went to a house and got
help to fix the bike. I was nervous
but happy there was a place to go
that was safe."
Seniors preparing for bake sale
The Wingham Seniors' Center
was a hive of activity during Oc-
tober as preparations were made for
the craft and bake sale set for Nov.
6.
Many trips were enjoyed
throughout the month: Cathy Rit-
sema's home was a welcome
retreat. There's something very
pleasant about bcing in the country
when the leaves have changed color
- nature at its best!
