Neil Pollock, represen- tative of the union member employees of Kinark, correctly guessed four homes. The Kinark group homes aren't the only ones in town. Rosewood, a shelter for battered women and their children, is a group home. Community Living, Huronia operates homes for the developmentally handicapped. Wendakay House is a group home in the com- munity fer North Simcoe residents with a mental health problem. Neighbors shocked A murder in a group home in a residen- tial area beside one of Midland's popular parks has jolted the neighborhood. Ruby Pyburn can see clearly the front of 527 William St., from the front door of the convenience store which she has manag- ed for three years. 'Everyone who comes in," she said on Monday, "wants something done about it."* One neighbor has announced her home will be improved and put on the market. Another customer said she is going to start a petition, Pyburn said. A woman, who identified herself as a 26-year resident of the neighborhood, pass- ing with a young child and a dog, blamed the federal government for the death of a 21-year-old child care worker. "Tt's-a damn shame, a waste of a young girl's life like that." "Tt boils done to the young offenders. They're getting away with too much." Eric Wilkinson and his wife have shared a property line with the group home for seven years. He isn't worried. '""You go by experience. And our experience is, we have no problem." The Kinark management and staff were in "a state of shock," spokesperson Dr. Rick Morris said. "People are just devastated." Morris said it is too early to say if Kinark management practices will be changed. The provincial government will have a say, he said. Group homes under review Krista Sepp's murder last week in a Midland group home has prompted the review of all facilities housing young of- fenders in Ontario. Provincial community and social ser- vices minister John Sweeney announced the review yesterday. "The decision to have this particular young lady, with her lack of experience, on at that time is one we are still question- ing ourselves," Sweeney said. Premier David Peterson added his voice to calls for a review of the Young Of- fenders Act. 'We Know Farm Tax. We're FBC.
