jpresspdtSSF the dedication
/ of those people who work
with tale developmentally
handicapped. One of the
guest speakers during the
week remarked that it
takes a special kind of
person to work with the
developmentally han-
dicapped and I would
agree.
- The facilities nfferetlta
Last week I spent quite
a bit of time at the
Bluewater Centre for the
Developmentally Han-
dicapped during their
Professional Education
Week. It was an in-
teresting week and I
came- away really int_
the handicapped at the
Bluewater Centre also
left a favorable im-
pression on me. There is
a hairdressing salon,
barber shop, picnic area,
camp grounds, chapel,
greenhouse, car wash,
workshops and even a
farm! All of these
resources are geared to
help -residents sone day
-
take their place in the
community.
Besides learning basic
community living skills,
many of the residents at
the Centre do contract
work for several com-
panies. The level of skill
attained by some of the
residents is amazing.
There are many other
facilities fol -the
developmentally han-
dicapped in Huron
County.
ARC Industries in
Exeter has 60 develop-
mentally handicapped
employees and a staff of
seven. The employees
run their own bake shop
and office service. They
also do maintenance and
many other things.
The Kinsmen Centre in
Goderich has 16 em-
ployees and a staff off
three. The employees do
contract work, wood-
working, snow shovelling
and lawn work as well as
learning basic .living
skills.

Alcohol still big problem
BY CATH WOODEN
. Huron County is the
largest, consumer-, of
alcohol in Ontario, shows
the greatest increase of
alcohol consumption, and
is the worst area
historically for drinking.
Last February, a group
was formed to do
something about it.
Called the 'Committee for
Alcoholism and other
Drugs', it is made up of
several concerned
citizens, social workers,'
doctors, and represen-
tation from -the Addiction
Research Foundation.
The Committee for
Alcoholism and other
Drugs is an independent.
organization. According
to its head, Grant Ellison
of Goderich, the group's
purpose is "education,
identification, and
prevention."
"We recognize the ,high.
schools as a bad spot, so
we want to start there,"
says Ellison.
This September, the
committee is going to
hold a workshop for
parents, teachers, and
.professionals.
"We hope to initiate
ideas and methods,"
Ellison says. The group
hopes•,that by educating'
"'the people closest to
teenagers and teaching
them to identify problem
areas, those people can
deal more effectively
with young people.
At a recent meeting
J.W. Coulter, curriculum
co-ordinator of the Huron
County Board of
Education, talked about
what is being done within
the school system.
Alcohol and drug
education starts in Grade
5 and continues through
to Grade 12. Part of the
health and physical
education course, it is not
coumpulsary in secon-
dary school.
Coulter said that, next
year, a "pilot project" is
being introduced. The
Addiction Research
Foundation has provided
ten lesson plans for high
sehool teachers to use.
Two high schools will
use the plans and two will
use the regular plans. All
students will be tested in
the .fall and spring to see
if their knowledge has
increased, and which
plan proves more ef-
fective.
Coulter pointed out,
however, that there is a
"significant gap between
knowledge and practice."
While students may
know about alcohol and
drugs, it doesn't stop
them from using them.
Statistics are difficult
to gather and keep up to
date. The last extensive
survey was conducted by
the Addiction Research
Foundation in 1976.
Says Ellison, "it is
difficult to appreciate
how vast a problem
alcoholism is."
ser groups are expected to
prevent misunderstandings
A meeting of the
Steering Committee for
the Senior Citizen's
Recreation Centre was
held in the town council
chambers on Thursday,
May 17 with ten members
of the committee present.
Mrs. Eileen Palmer, Ken
Hunter, and Jim Magee

council, and Jim Moore,
Recreation Director for
the town of Goderich, and
Miss Jane Netzke, were
also present. Acting as
liaison for Little Theatre
were R.W. Bell and Mrs.
Reinhart while Mrs. L.
Vincent was liaison
delegate from the Art
Club.
Everett Sparling was -
chairman for the meeting
and welcomed all those
present.
Eileen Palmer

clearing up any concerns
which may have
developed due to lack of
information. It is hoped
that delegates from the
user groups who attend
the planning meetings
will keep the groups
informed so that no
further misun-
derstanding will arise.
Percy Blundell
reported on the bus trip to
the Senior Citizen's
Centre in St. Marys. Mr.
Berryman was thanked
for arranging the trip to
this very pretty town.
Ken Hunter was asked
to inform the Ministry of
Culture and Recreation
and the Ministry of
Community and Social
Services of present plans
to renovate MacKay Hall
so that it may be used as
a recreation centre for
elderly people.
Plans for renovations,
as suggested by Jim
Magee and Ken Hunter,
'will be considered at the
next meeting which will
be held at 7 p.m. on
Thursday, June 21 in the
