Bureau foldsarnid dispute
By Shelley McPhee
The Huron Volunteer
Bureau had a promising; start
in January, but now because
of lack of funds and ciLsjoutes
between the bureau sttff and
the advisory committee, the
bureau's doors have been
closed.
On July 7, co-ordinator
Mary Ann Kowbuz resigned
from the bureau which is
located in Clinton and on
Monday afternoon went to the
office at the Ontario Street
United Church to find that all
the files and confidential
material had been removed.,
Kowbuz says she was
legally responsible for all the
material in the office and she
said, "I've been had again by
somebody. It's got to be one of
three people."
She noted that Ed Layton
the custodian of the church,
Bob Philtips, summer' help
and the advisory committee
of Bob Taylor, Pat Wheeler
and Spence Cummings had
access to the church.
The'' Clinton police were
. immediately called in and
Kowbuz said, "I want those
files back today, otherwise
there'll be charges of theft."
The bureau which. offered
services to the needy
throughout the county began
under a Local Initiatives
Program with a $12,000 grant.
When the funds ran out in
June, Kowb•.z asked the
committee if they would
apply for legal incorporation
as a non-profit volunteer
agency, but no action was
taken. With this status the
bureau would have been then
allowed to ask for tax
deductible donations.
Committee member
Taylor, also the recreation
director at Huronview, said
that the bureau was in no
position to apply for legal
incorporation since it had no
base.
"We had a feeling that at
the end of June the funds
were running out and we
looked for more funds
through. Mary Ann's direc-
tion," he noted.
However Reg Thompson,
an employee at the bureau
noted, wertain criteria was
to be met and they (the
committee) didn't want to do
it. One of the criteria was that
there be support costs for the
bureau. They didn't want to
give this."
"They wouldn't offer $50 for
the phone," noted Kowbuz
after the office telephone was
disconnected when the bills
couldn't be paid, "People now
call the bureau and they can't
get anyservice."
"The only person to raise
funds for the bureau has been
me," Kowbuz said, "We
received nothing locally,
funds were never'given by the
county or the towns."
Presently, Bob Phillips, a
university student who has
been hired by Experience '77
is the only person looking
after the bureau. Over the
summermonths he will be
researching future funding
for the bureau. However
according to Thompson,
"He's now doing a study why
the bureau didn't work. It did
work, it only dried up because
lack of money. It's simple as
that."
Pat Wheeler, another
committee member, and the
co-ordinator of volunteer
services at the Bfuewater
Centre said, "The bureau
didn't work out the way that
we had hoped."
She explained "I wanted a
service that would recruit
volunteers and refer them to
various areas."
Wheeler also noted that it
was hard to get volunteers
and it was difficult to run the
bureau throughout the whole
county.
She feels that there is a
need for volunteer help for
the needy, but noted that the
bureau was "too big a task for
the area."
Wheeler suggested that
maybe a social or church
group could run such a ser-
vice.
Kowbuz's opinion differed
from this and she noted that
:the bureau helped some 45
•
agencies and groups and
assisted at least 200 needy,
handicapped. and elderly
people.
Thompson -supported this
and noted, "People who heed
the basic services we were
going to give them can't do
without."
In reference to the
alledgedly stolen files and
material, both Taylor and
Wheeler.said that the papers
were in the possession of
Kowbuz and neither knew
what she planned to do with
them. Wheeler added that she
may need them to make her
presentation to LIP on the
project.
Taylor said he didn't have
any idea where the files could
have gone, "Unless the LIP
people themselves took them.
I don't have a key, never did
and never will."
Spence Cummings, also a.
member of the commiittee
and the county development
officer refused to comment on
the- situation and the bureau
itself.
