Midland's ARC industries The main goal is independence The goal is in- dependence. And that's what the workers at the Adult Rehabilitation Centre in Midland are aiming for, through a combined avocational and work program. In the basement of St. Margaret's Church, the ARC workers are being taught to balance bank books, to solve mathematical problems, to cook and sew, how to shop for groceries and clothes, and how to cope with living situations in the community. They are learning to live in- dependently in the community. Teacher Helen Car- stairs uses the classroom situation to instruct the students in the practical application of things they will need while living on their own in the com- munity. Filling out forms, writing cheques, counting change, doing' cost comparisons, shopping from a catalogue, and answering a phone are a few skills many people take for granted. The ARC workers enjoy periodic field trips and a three-day field trip an- nually, and the ex- cursions help in the learning process. The aim is for the students to learn how to prepare for an excursion. They study where they are going, and the history of the area. They consult maps, and they learn to budget for the trip. Reading menus, eating in restaurants, and how to buy gifts and souvenirs are only a few of the skills learned or developed on these trips. Several of the workers participated in Penetanguishene's recent Winterama festivities -- om th Glazing ceramic tiles Joan, an ARC industries worker, applies one of the many glazes to a ceramic tile in ARC's ceramic workshop on Midland's William Street.

Transportation home from the events was provided, but if anyone was interested in at- tending, he/she had to find means of getting there. Evening activities are planned regularly and the ARC workers' enjoy swimming at the Y pool, going to the movies, playing bingo, and bowling in a group. An occasional birthday party, or small dance is organized at someone's home or in St. Margaret's basement. "We try to touch on all phases of the living and working situation', says Mrs. Carstairs, and the centre acts as an in- termediate step in the socialization process. Of the 47 enrolled in the program, 12 work at the ARC ceramic shop in the Midland industrial mall on William Street. Here the workers produce sample charts for the Ceramic Colours Com- pany based in Victoria Harbour. The workers take the process from the very beginning -- from the actual manufacturing of the tiles, to the bottling of the glaze, the firing, the application of the glazes to the tiles, and the labelling, sealing, and casing. ARC was con- tracted to complete 100 sets of six tiles by the company. There's a_ certain amount of "artistic flair involved" in completing a tile, notes ceramic in- structor Helen Gibson. And the workers develop a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in seeing the final product. They do everything themselves, although Helen is the only one who turns on the kiln for firing. ARC workers rotate between the avocational program and the workshops. Everyone is involved in all aspects of the program. In the ARC building on upper William Street, the workers perform a variety of jobs for local industries. The workers manufacture traffic signs, snowmobile licence plates, surveyors' stakes, package material for different companies, and do the laundry for the local Pillsbury plant. But what the centre is. really interested in doing, says local director Joyce Hamelin, is to teach the workers good social and work habits, rather than to do a particular job. "When the . workers acquire a reasonable amount of skill and basic knowledge, the centre assists in placing them in work situations in the larger community. Others grow and can continue to learn in the centre. When a worker is placed in a job, the centre continues to act in a supportive role. All the ARC workers live in the community -- at home or independently in a room and board situation. The centre works closely with both the landlords and the parents. The families are made aware of the goals of the centre and the progress that is being made. Working with Joyce Hamelin is Tony Vipond, a counsellor with an educational background in rehabilitation work. Ed Knapp supervises work at the plant on upper William. Helen Carstairs works with supervisor Bonnie Shalof and instructor Gail Brock in the avocational program.

Rehabilitation Centre in Midland. The Staff photo Huronia Association for the Mentally Retarded. The centre is presently conducting negotiations with the town of Midland to acquire a piece of property on which to construct an enlarged building. The ARC program presently operates out of the two William Street buildings, one of which is rented space, and from the basement of St. Margaret's Church. The original ARC building was meant to accommodate approx- imately 20 workers, a figure which has more than doubled. "We want to be under one roof", says Hamelin, in order to avoid tran- sportation problems and to better coordinate the program. Eighty per cent of the total cost of the new structure will be borne by the ministry, with the Huronia association picking up the remaining cost. HAMR will soon be launching a campaign to provide the additional funds. The need for the new building, considering the increased enrollment, is acute by any standards. Council moves to sell land parcel to ARC industries A move to sell town land to ARC industries was made at Midland council Monday night. Finance committee chairman Moreland Lynn told council the town had received a $500 cheque from the Huronia Association for the Mentally Retarded as a down payment for the land on the east side of Olive Street. Total cost of the land will be $15,000. The association intends to erect an Adult Rehabilitation Centre workshop on the site. Sale will be made on the condition the Town of Midland gets first chance to purchase the former ARC site for no more than $25,000. Lynn noted Imperial Oil was also considering the Olive St. land but added there are two other sties in Midland they are in- terested in. Because of the urgency of the ARC program, he was willing to make a motion to council to accept the bid. Councillor Bill Orr felt it might be best to wait until after a meeting with Imperial Oil represen- tatives Tuesday morning. A decision was expected following a committee meeting Tuesday night.
