Region moves program fo new offices in Whitby The case co-ordination program, a section of the region's social ser- vices department officially opened its new offices at 1650 Dundas St. East in Whitby last week. On hand for the official ceremonies were several regional councillors, including chairman Gary Herrema, Whitby Mayor Bob Attersly, social services chairman Diane Hamre, the program super- visor Joan Higginson and Kevin Morris who represented Communi- ty and Social Services Minister John Sweeny. The program, which actually moved to the new location last September, was formerly housed in the offices of the Durham Health Unit in the Oshawa Centre for about five years. The 10 staff members work with the families of around 300 children at any given time. These children and adolescents require assistance in meeting behavioural, developmental, emotional or physical needs. Case co-ordination may assist these families in obtain- ing and co-ordinating assessments and services for their child. The pro- gram promotes co-operation among agencies such as schools, daycare centres, treatment facilities and community services. A service plan for each child and his family is developed on an in- dividual basis. It is the role of the case co-ordinator to monitor the delivery of services to ensure that the service plan is implemented and is modified to meet changing needs. In an address to the large crowd gathered, Morris said the program was invaluable to help families mobilize their own resources and challenges agencies to collaborate with each other to provide the best services for children. "These new offices provide a base to promote the strength within families and to promote in- dependence and interdependence," said Morris. The program is open to any special needs children within Durham up to their 19th birthday. It is particularily appropriate for children who require assistance from more than one agency. Also eligible are those whose needs are expected to be long-term or varied, or children whose needs are worsen- ed by other specific needs within their families. Involvement in the program is confidential and voluntary. The ser- vice is free and government funded. The case co-ordination offices can be reached by calling 433-4100 or 683-4089. Underprivileged in Durham Region Dental care for children Thanks to a grant from Queen's Park, underpriveleged children within Durham will be able to visit the dentist on a regular basis even if their parents can't afford to pay EPA charges by Ministry The Ontario Ministry of the En- vironment has charged an Uxbridge man with two counts under the En- vironmental Protection Act (EPA). Norman Clements, of R.R. 1, faces one charge under section 27b of the EPA, which pertains to operating a waste disposal site without a certificate of approval, and one charge under section 39 of the act, which pertains to depositing waste at an unapproved site. The charges follow a ministry in- vestigation into events between March 4 and 26, 1987, when waste was disposed on a property on Con- cession 4 in the Township of Uxbridge. The maximum fine for each charge is $2,000 per day. A first court date has been set for 9 a.m., Oct. 19, at Ajax Provincial Offences Court. -- Guaranteed Investment Certificates 103/4% 5 YEAR TERM Minimum Deposit $500. 101/4% 3 YEAR TERM Minimum Deposit $500.

Last July, the Minister of Health announced funding for a new Den- tal Program for Children in Need of Treatment. The money to initiate . the program would be directed to health units throughout the province. The primary objective of the den- tal program is to provide required dental care to children at the elementary school level (kindergarten to grade eight) whose families.-had no insurance or coverage for necessary dental care and declared that the cost would result in financial hardship for the family. Children will be identified through the health unit preventative den- tistry program already in place, whereby odd-aged children are screened annually by public health nurses at the schools and notices sent home to parents advising if their child needs to see a dentist. Children who are eligible under the new program may attend a den- tist, who in turn will be paid by the health unit for services rendered ac- cording to an established schedule of benefits. The Durham Health Unit will be funded 100 percent by the Ministry of Health. According to Durham's Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Jean Gray, the health unit will be respon- RRSP 5 YEAR TERM Annual Compound Min. Deposit $500.
