TlwAcloiifraePrawWxtmdivJiiiwH Despite changes in law Emergency shelter needed Library board wants cases of rudeness documented Lucky An emergency shelter for women and children is needed In In the view of all participants of a panel discussing the Issue Satur day A Burlington workshop on abused wives was spon sored by the Stopover Committee group of women examining the need for a womens hostel in the region Despite changes in family law a hostel is needed provide at least emergency accommodation for women and children Burlington lawyer Robert Martin said The problem for abused wives and for those who sought to help them has been finding affordable accom modaUon in Hal ton The dramatic change in the new act is the provision It makes for one spouse to obtain exclusive Interim possession of the matrimonial home Mr Martin said Such possession la granted by a judge on the basis of need All the spouse seeking lnteim possession requires is an affidavit from a lawyer which is then taken to a Judge The transaction can lake place in the Judges office It not necessary to go to court If granted the order Is usually given for a period of seven days However this service Is not available during the night or on weekends Furthermore the woman has to find a lawyer who has the time to prepare affidavit material shelter Mr said Currently in an emer gency lbs wife la taken to a mote hotel or to Inasmuch House a Hamilton hostel for women But placement In a motel or hotel is unsatisfactory The woman and her IT any are left alone in a motel room at a time whan they are especially In need of support There Is the added worry the husband will find them On the other hand Inasmuch House Is too far away for many women In the region said John social worker with Hilton Regional Police Statistics about wife abuse that would help to determine the need for a hostel don t exist panel members said We need a workable method of keeping statistics to lend credence to the need for a hostel said Margaret supervisor for and North areas In the social and family services depart But a member of the audience said use of the hostel when its opened wilt prove the need Something should be provided now Women will be dead before the paperwork gets done Mr police answered 1 domestic complaints in the region last year half of them In Burling ton Although police attempt Students collect data on hostel casta they an unable to restore order and one spous to Who leaves depends on ownership of the The social and family department was aware of deserted wives in toe region last year but not all of these women were abused Mr Martin reported since new family legislation was Introduced he has noted an increase in the number of women Inquiring where they stand though not Using any action at the moment Several panelists noted alcoholism is a contributing factor In many coses of abuse family comes In battered and bruised as result of a husband In an alcoholic rage said Winnie codirector of Hope Haven Homes a Hamilton shelter for families of alcoho lics Since Its opening March Hope Haven has had 30 resi dents she reported The effects of wife abuse on the children Is difficult to pin point because problems In children may not come to light for several years said Joan Marshall clinical psychologist with the Child ren Assessment and Treat Centre in Burlington Very little research has been done on the effect on children because only recently has attention been paid to wife abuse she commented The traditional theoretical view that the little boy will identify with the rather and become an abusive husband and the little girl identify with the mother and see her role In life Is to be abused Is too simplistic Marshall said- Im sure it happens to some extent but what we see in the office is more complex As an example of the effect wife abuse has on children she cited the case of a young boy came to the attention of teachers because he in- sided he knew everything oven in the face of contrary evidence The boy had seen his mother beaten on the average of once a week and was the one to get police when his father threatened his mother with a knife at her Clearly the child had had to lake control and had chosen to pretend he knew everything Yet a younger child In this family has apparently escaped unscathed Many factors determine the effect wife abuse on children Including the frequency of the occurence how the Incident handled with the child whether the child saw the incident or only heard it and fantasized what happened what relationship the child has with each parent and with other people after whom he can model his behavior Marshall said In response to audience questions about a hostel for men he panel indicated several hostels for men are already in existence Alternately most men being breadwinners have the financial means with which to find accommodation In all of Ontario there are only hostels for women said panel chairman Gloria Its impossible to with the whole world Students hired by grants from the Secretary of State and Young Canada Works have begun the task of veying the region to deter mine the need for a shelter for women and to gauge the support of the community for one Where theyre available relevant statistics are collected The students are also gathering information from other hostels In Ontario that will be useful to the

Forcing abusive husba to get treatment Just doesnt work said Mr Rabeau In reply to a question from the audience of about You cant make people change They have to want to change Rev Marty Karl director of Hamilton Mission Services which operates Inasmuch House cautioned the group against relying exclusively on volunteers for counselling in any hostel that is established In the Initial stage theres plenty of volunteers Its a romance Three years down the road it changes and you begin to depend on people who have no solved their own problems to act as staff Its one of the blights on operations of rescue missions and It further damages the person who accepts a load for which he prepared You want women staff have learned to live who are loving and caring and who dont have monu mental problems of their own to solve Library board member Batty Fisher took Hsu with Halton Hills Library Board has rocotved no controversial George town library question I dont agree that some customers expect favored
