Ar 72nltsifi ifestyle the exgmlper Friday July 1919 Information Barrie questions need for publicizing service By CLAUDIA KKAUSIC Of The Examiner lShould Information Barrie have higher profile as com munity information service Should it publicize its services meeting on Wednesday called by the Information Bar rie committee to ask local child care workers how the service can help them more erupted unexpectedly into disagree ment about how visible ser tape Information Barrie should On the one side were Don Jackson local director of Sim coe County Childrens Aid Socieey also known as Family and Childrens Services Ralph Guinn of the Volunteer Service Bureau Ron Howard of Kiddiskool Day Care Centres Ltd in Barrie and Alex Man juris who described himself as an interested citizen if They agreed in Jacksons words that Information Barrie was hiding its light under bushel Each suggested more rigorous campaigning to make Barrie area residents aware of the service David Smith Information Barrie committee chairman disagreed describing the ser vices role as casting light into the dark comers Juding from the number of calls just as many people in Barrie know about this service as people in other cities about their services Smith said Gwyn Speers who operates the service out of Barrie Public Library estimated Information Barrie receives 20 to 30 calls day She says all are kept con idential to protect callers When Information Barrie was set up by the library two years ago its responsibilities includ ed connecting area residents with existing resources in the community but also identify ing unmet needs said Smith The reason we exist at all he added is that the informa tion network in this city is very bad As people find the service useful they will know about it The agencies in Barrie are now phoning us back providing us with new information Smith is against publishing at regular intervals the types of calls Information Barrie receives and the subjects discussed If we put calls we receive in to set group such as calls relating to alcohol abuse child care services or churches then were defining the service Were telling people that if they want to know about onlv Gwyn Speers at right who operates Information Barrie out of the Barrie Public Library says the service receives 20 to 30 calls each day Examiner Photo At information Barrie meeting certain areas they can phone us But what about all the other things Publicizing ourselves may gain visibility but it may also be limiting Smith said Howard rebutted If thats the policy perhaps you should look at it again Maybe its too highfalutin If 80 per cent of your calls are on alcohol churches body rub parlors whatever surely that will speak for itself Jackson referred to the high profile information service which has been operating in Orillia for several years Our intake office at the Simcoe County Childrens Aid Society is not particularly aware of Information Barrie Information Orillia is pro minent very visible and tends to overshadow the things In formation Barrie does Jackson said OTHER ACTIVITIES Besides answering calls In formation Barrie publishes lists of community organizations and
