2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, August 29th, 1979 Orono Weekly Times LOOKS LIKE A GOOD FALL FAIR Its easy to say, "bigger and better" as to any annual event and the promotion of the annual fair could be no exception. But truely it does look like a good fair coming up in Orono this week-end. 1 The attractions appear to be well spread out over the three and a half days of the fair and it seems most logical to start the annual exhibition with the Queen of the Fair contest. - The program on Thursday evening is a full program with a number of excellent events. Friday is certainly kids day in the afternoon and this department has expanded obver the years to now include a talent show and other features for the youngsters of the community. The evening program features such as the horse pull, the tug of war and the adult amateur contest: This is all accompanied by the various exhibits in competition. The Saturday program always holds its own and last year the Scottish Variety show was a real crowd pleaser. It appears again this year. The Saturday night dance has gained excellent response and no doubt will provide the same attraction again this year. Sunday afternoon come jammed packed with entertainment to the point it will be difficult to catch everything that is going on. From an entertainment aspect the Fall Fair in Orono has what one may call something for everyone. It is certainly to be hoped that the agricultural aspect of the fair is not forgotten as one of its bigger features and attractions. It would be great to see a stimulant in this avenue of the fair, an avenue which takes a lot of effort on the , part of the organizers and the exhibitors. It is the exhibitors thaty really are the backbone of the fair. You be the judge of the 1979 edition of the Orono Fair realizing of course that you must be in attendance to pass judgement. NO OTHER DECISION COULD BE MADE Filially the Town of Newcastle has given the go ahead for the signing of a contract to replace the defective arena ice pad in the Newcastle arena. No other decision was possible. Hardly could the Town allow a community investment of some $640,000 sit idle during the winter months. The decision to proceed with the new ice pad was the proper decision in this case. It could be said however that the municipality when it is involved in such projects must haye a greater control over planning and construction for it is the municipality tat that is responsible. It is only through proper control can the Town council be assured that all taxpayers in the Town are protected. (Continued from page l ) , TELEPHONE 623-6355 JOHN MANUEL, C.G.A.

Durham family relief services now available The Durham Family Relief Service offers a relief programme programme for the families of handicapped persons in this area. The presence of a handicapped person in the home often presents a great strain. The aim is to keep the handicapped individuals out of the institutions with the result that parents keeping their child in the much preferred home environment, are subjected to much more pressure. With a normal child or adult relatives and friends can take care of him or her to give the parents a break. However, with a retarded or developmentally handicapped handicapped person this is not always possible. The Durham Region Associations Associations for the Mentally Retarded have designed and are offering a relief program that has been providing a relief service to these families. families. The Relief Centres are the homes of families who will take the handicapped individuals individuals into their home for a period of up to three weeks a year. These relief parents are people who have completed a training course at Durham College and have volunteer experience with the handicapped. handicapped. The course is a night school course titled, "The Supervision Supervision and Management of the Child with Special Needs". The course covers such areas as first aid, play and stimulation, stimulation, growth and development, development, as well as behaviour management. The topics are presented by a series of guest speakers who work in the various fields. The course runs for eleven weeks starting starting September 24 and is an accredited course at Durham College with a cost of $26.00. People who take the course are under no obligation to become a relief parent, many take it for their own interest. Further information may be obtained by calling Durham College or our office. Those who wish to become Parent Relief Homes are subsequently hired and paid by the Family Relief Services Program. The handicapped person (child ,or adul,t) iè placed in a home in his or her own community and continues continues his or her daily programme at school or work. The cost of this service is funded 80 percent by the Ministry of Community and Social Services and Parents, in most cases, are expected to pay the remaining 20 percent of the cost. The programme provides the parents or families of the individual concerned with a holiday and also the relief parents with a challenging and rewarding experience. ' The relief parents always decide how much relief they can provide - a few weekends a year or as muchas possible and they decide to whom they 1 will give the relief. A pçe- placement .visit> is arranged before each and every placement placement so the relief parents can meet the individual they will be taking care of and so that the individual can meet the relief parents. If either party decides that his particular relief home is not 'suitable then they have the right to decide against it.
