ften bricks or large rocks are thrown through ilic glass panes he said and city employees have to clean up the mess left in thcshcltcr We try to clean it up but it just gets wrecked again Mr

provided young offender in detention centre established by Kiwanis Club By RICHARD DLNSTAN Examiner Staff Reporter Brick walls do not prison make not when theyre the walls of house on pleasant treelined Barrie street And especially not when one of the inmates is large dog who loves everyone except policemen in uniform But Morton House named for Judge Morton of Barries family court is to serve as dentention and observation cen tre for as many of Barries juvenile offenders as can be fit ted into its opendoor system Purpose of the home One of the first of its kind in Ontario is to provide family atmosphere for young offenders in place of PAUL AND Olga Ufford relax in the Morton House living room with Tramp dog residents of the home picked out from the Humane Society The dog who the traditional detention centre atmosphere which Judge Mor ton describes as not only depressing but unnecessary in the vast majority of cases We really deemphasize the detention aspect says Paul Ufford who with his wife Olga is in charge of the home five days week Instead he said the couple works to make Mor ton House place young of fenders want to Stay The home proect of the Kiwanis Club of empenfelt Bay began operations last month It provides temporary accomodation for delinquents charged with offences ranging from running away from home or shoplifting to drug offences and breakandentering ald also dislikes uniformed po licemen but smothers everyone else with affection is big favorite with residents and the Uffords think he contributes con for youngsters awaiting place ment by the hildrens Aid Society The home has room for as many as six youngsters aged 10 or younger to 15 Both sexes are accepted but boys predominate TIIRE WEEK STA Youngsters stay at the home an average of three weeks while they are evaluated for sentencing or whatever their future may hold Some go home others to training school still others to permanent group homes During their stay they spend time studying Mr Ufford is qualified high school teacher and tries to teach two sessions of English math and social siderably to the family at mosphere of the home Recently residents entered Tramp in dog show and came home with second prize Examiner Photo science day enjoying rccrca tional activities and doing chores Theyre all responsiblc for cleaning up says Mrs llfford After few days of fairly close supervision residents usually provc tcnisclvcs trust worthy enough to go for an unaccompanicd walk or even an cvcing out on the weekend They earn their privileges says Mrs lIfford The Uffords Paul has dcgrcee in sociology and Oil11 in psychology are rcijinsiblc for evaluating the youngsters in the home setting and their report is one of several conr sidcred by Judge Morton in deciding what to do with youngster who has stayed there Othci evaluations by social workers psychiatrists and the like are also carried out during residents stay and it is here that one of the main ad vantages of the group home over the traditional dctcntion ccntrc shows up It enables the social worker to have time to do proper assessment says Mr Ufford adding that the homclike set ting also gives clearer lIlII of what youngster is really like than detention centre does So how does it all work RESILIS ILIIASING Were very pleased with the initial results says Judge Morton The kids seem to take toitvcry well Some like it so well the if fords say that they dont want to leave The open door policy even with the restrictions on trips outside has inevitably led to some runaways But some have run back after thinking about it and others are caught and returned Persistent runaways will be sent to detention centre but Morton House is so much more attractive than the centre that persistence of this sort is easy to discourage The runaways do not pose danger to society Judge Mor ton says because dangerous of fenders are not sent to the home in the first place Residents behavior has not been serious problem the If fords say No one has gotten far enough out of line to be sent for detention Residents who have been at the home for time tend to provide good example to newcomers they say and there is also peer group pressure to behave Officials do not go out of their way to identify the house to passersby as an institution and asked The Examiner not to publish the address or pho tograph the building btit the llffords say most of their neighbors know what the home is and havc bccn friendly and helpful The home has bccn on the Kiwanis agenda for about year and replaced proposed girts home which had been under consiccration for two years before that The club which numbers Judge Morton among its members advanced loan for establishment of the house but has been paid back by funds from the Onatrio Attorneyv icncrals office which is also funding rcnt and other op crating expenses for the house The club will pick up any deficit which may arise but so far provincial funds have covered all expenses lub members provided time and labor in getting the home ready for use and committee chaired by Pat Ioolc ovcisccs spending and ad ministration thcr committee members are Mark Scliarf Bob Perry Norm Shelswcll Joe Lank Ross Rolls and Judge Morton Mr loolc says ttic club considers the home fitting project in view of Kiwanis traditional emphasis on work with youth The big lactor as far as Im concerned is that its better setting for the kids says Judge Morton He says detention centres may be necessary for small percentage of hardcore 0f fcndcis but 90 per cent of juveniles in trouble just need little love and affection and the home is way of pro vidingit Because its shortterm we cant work miracles says Paul Ufford but it could be the start of some changes for thekids Its better to have some broken glass than wrecked frame he said The committee was discuss ing memo from Mayor Dorian Parker about the shelter which is on the northeast corner of Cook Street It is across the street from the Grove Park Senior Citizens Home and number of single fainily detahced houses on Cook Street DR NANCY ARMBRUST medical officer of health for Simcoe County discussed family
