Does it not seem more logical, bearing in mind the criteria for, and concept of, Group Homes, that these residences should be in an area where the residents could go to the stores, the library, the Post Office, etc., without fanfare, as an essential and normal part of their daily lives and ultimate rehabilitation? Would it not be more benefi- cial for the residents to have the opportunity to partici- pate, in an everyday manner, in the local com- munity, rather than be isolated in a quiet, out of the way area like Gerrow's Beach? The Provincial Govern- ment 'Planning Guidelines for Group Homes' specifi- cally states that: "The Policy is designed to ensure that members of our com- munity are cared for, where possible, in the community, in a way which protects both the interest of the individual' and -the neigh- bourhood". Isolation, by any means, is nor 'protec- tion.' At a recent conference sponsored by the Region of Durham Social Planning Advisory Group, the keynote Speaker Said: '"The Govern- ment should amend the Plan- ning Act to require munici- palities to permit the establishment of licensed community care residences, in a reasonable proportion to the local population' and: "Without appropriate hous- ing and concurrent program- ming in other sgcial services, community disad- vantaged adults will find themselves no better off than in institutions into custodial beds in rooming houses." The keyword in the concept for Group Homes is '"'community". The very word means ' '"'people'"' and the dictionary defines 'Com- fifth Anniversary of the Branch in the Parish Hall, Church of Ascension. 15 YEARS AGO Thursday, May 13, 1965 Miss Isabelle Strong fashioned three sailor motif outfits which she, her nephew Master Dale Geer and niece Janice McHugh, modelled at the Home Econo- mics Fashion Show at Port Perry High School.

Dear Sir: In your editorial last week, I noticed you asked if we needed more parkland, we definitely do, maybe not all at once but we will. I also noticed in the Chatterbox that if the council and library board win, how about every- body pitching in and help get the job done. Not so fast and not so easy. There is an awful lot of us who just can't change our way of thinking overnight. We have to wait until the O.M.B. makes its 10 YEARS AGO Thursday, May 14, 1970 On Saturday evening, May 9, 1970, two local young men, Donovan Smith and Jim Martyn, were among the 51 Queen Scouts who received their Queen Scout Parch- ments at Bayview Secondary School.

We all know that if they can send a man to the moon, they can surely find a way to extend our library. As for flooding forget it. Surely someone around here knows how to put in proper drainage, and the parking problems they seem rather trivial when you stop and think of the United Church, the Anglican Church and the Presbyterian Church Where do the hundreds of people park on Sundays, on the street naturally, they don't have any parking lots and I believe they are a lot more crowded than our Library. How about the parking problems on the main street when we have parallel parking. I hope they make room somewhere else. Lets talk about economics or do any of us need to be reminded.
