The Lucknow Sentinel, 1979-08-15, Page 13Bruce observation and detention services at Pinehill BY DOROTHY SIMPSON CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY The Provincial Govern- ment had set up a task force, to assemble detention pro- grams across Ontario. The Bruce Grey observation and detention facility at Pinehill is one of 13 programs presently active. A steering committee has been set up to administrate the program. They have leased three beds. from the Pinehill group home for observation and detention use only. The facilities are strictly for discipline problem children who need immedi- ate. attention. The police, childrens aid, probationand the judge have the onlyauthority to place a child in detention.. If an agency places a child in detention they must take that child to court at the soonest poasible time in order to establish legal grounds and custody.. A child can be placed' in detention if., the child gives the impression that he will not appear at a ` court hearing. They can also be placed .there, away from. the community, if they seem dangerous or to protect the child from possible harm he might do. The time a child spends in detention can vary, with ' the . maximum • stay being 30 days. The observation and de- tention home is ruff by John and Katie Van Eeken for a one year trial basis. They have already helped many children and the committee is considering expansion of the , facilities. The problems involved here are ones of finance and staffing. John and -.Katie have six group home beds that are in use constantly and have no room for expansion in the Pinehill facilities, Another obstacle that faces the home is the need for education facilities. The 'school system is not equipped to handle the fre- quent rotation of students. Separate facilities are being considered as an alternative. A report is made by the. detention staff and given to the judge so that he can determine the help the child may require. These children are involved in the group home activities, but must have a: staff member with them at all times. Their belongings are removed when they enter the home and returned if actions war- rant.,, An inspection of their belongings: and body is done. the first day they are at the home.Dangerous objects are removed and physical abra- sions recorded. All of these precautions are done for the safety of ' the child and the staff, Detention has been a word to some that means°the child is bad and .cannot be helped. In context, detention is a secure place for a child that has lost all respect for auth- ority and has become hard to. handle. These children through detention facilities learn restrictions can work for them; Not all children can be helped but many are, with detention facilties like Pine - hill. Many people are finding the . price of clothing to be expensive so with the Child- ren's Aid, Mrs. Bailey has started the solution, using her farm house for the C.A.S. used clothing center. it has clothing for all ages and types. The prices are low Drill into *from page 12 and are also sampling ariy natural groundwater in the rock with a special geochem-. ical probe. At the Chalk River site, experiments are being done to. see if water will seep through fractures in the rock from one borehold to anoth- er. Boreholes are being in- vestigated with radar and electro -magnetic devices, and pressure injection tests are also underway. At •Atikokan, five three- inch holes are to be drilled to varying depths into the Eye- Dashwa Lake pluton, which represents one of eight. dif- ferent .,types of rock, to be investigated during the first research phase of the Canal- ` THE HURON- PERTH COUNTY ROMAN CATHOLIC SEPARATE SCHOOLBOARD REGISTRATION Of NEW STUDENTS [KINDERGARTEN TO GRADE 81 Parents who have not yet registeredtheir children or residents new to the Huron -Perth area, may register their children at any of the following Schools on Thursday,- August 30th, .;1979 between the hours of 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Huron County Schools St. Joseph's School [KINGSBRIDGE] Mr. David Zyluk,` Principal R.
