NOK IWO seaforth.news@sunmedia.ca letters to the editor Thankful for hometown Foodland To the Editor, For Steve, Barb and the staff of the Food - Van Egmond board thanks their supporters To the Editor; This month is small business month and I wThe Van Egmond Foundation Board of Directors would like to thank all of our sup- porters and volunteers for a very success- ful year. We were so blessed with excellent weather for the two country breakfasts, Ciderfest and Harvest Dinner. These functions all turned into excellent fun raising events. The moneys so raised October is small busi- ness month To the Editor; This month is small business month and I want to especially thank and recognize all the businesses across the province that keeps our economy thriving. They are this province's job creators, community leaders and the backbone of our economy. Small business is big business here in Huron - Bruce and there is nothing more heartening than when I visit with small business own- ers, running thriving family -run businesses, and who take immense pride in what they do and what they have built on their own. Disappointed in lack of Home Care To the Editor; Will Home Care be there for you when you need it the most? My name is Barbara McIntosh. I am 43 -years -old and I did not qualify for Home Care because I have a husband at home and two children in elementary school. On Sept. 27, my world literally went in circles. I was so severely dizzy and sick, I could not move. The paramedics had to take me to Exeter Hospital, where I remained for five days. I was diagnosed land store. It is such a pleasure to be able to walk uptown and go into our grocery store once again. You never miss something until it's gone and we certainly found that out. To see many of the former staff happy and always know you is a big plus. go to the usual expenses for maintaining the property. Every homeowner under- stands these never ending expenses, which seem to keep escalating each and every year. The foundation also receives personal donations from a number of local busi- nesses and homeowners, as well as a very small grant from Huron East. This grant has remained the same for over 40 years, even though the costs of maintaining the prop- erty have escalated with inflation. Over the last number of years, the foun- dation has been able to hire a student from late June until August to keep the house open from Wednesday through Sunday. Other times of the year, the house is open In Ontario today, businesses both small and large are weighed down by unneces- sary this red tape, high-energy prices and most recently the Ontario Retirement Pen- sion Plan (ORPP). The ORPP will be imple- mented in the next two years and will cost small businesses approximately $1,643 per employee, per year in payroll taxes. This attitude towards small business by the Lib- eral government is stunting growth and investment opportunities in our province. It's time that we help foster a culture of innovation and job creation. This is why I advocate for ideas that give entrepreneurs a competitive edge like: affordable energy, the reduction of red tape, changing the atti- tude of government by welcoming job cre- ators — not deterring them with regulations and red tape — and keeping payroll taxes with severe benign positional vertigo that left me with severe dizziness. With any movement of my head, it would bring on my symptoms. I was a high risk for falls so there was no way I could man- age to provide home care for myself and my family. The nurses agreed I needed Home Care. Dr. Kelly fought hard, but with to no avail. Dr. Kelly knew the truth, my husband and I farm a large poultry farm and my husband is not home. Early in the morning he is gone. If I am lucky, he would be home for a quick lunch and be gone again. Plus, there is October beans to combine, wheat to plant and corn to take off. Our children are 11 and 7, who are in school all day long. I would have to rely on www.seaforthhuronexpositor.com Keep up the good work; we need this store. An old time shopper, Ann Wood by appointment only. This year the house was open for a num- ber of bus tours, the Shunpiker Tour and Doors Open Huron County. The park -like setting at the Van Egmond House was also the background for a number of wedding photos. Like all service organizations, the Van Egmond Foundation Board of Directors is in dire need of new members, as a number on the current board have been serving for many, many years. Board of Directors The Van Egmond Foundation reasonable by reforming government agen- cies like the WSIB. More people are employed by small business than any other segment in our economy. Small business is vital to the Huron -Bruce economy and we need to do better as a province to ensure that busi- ness that have three or four employee this year, are able to grow and have ten or twenty next year. Small business month is an excellent opportunity to recognize these businesses and I would like to personally thank them for all that they do to make our communi- ties better places to live, work and raise a family. Lisa Thompson MPP Huron -Bruce family and friends to help me with home care. We need to think that Home Care is not just for the widowed and elderly who want to remain in their homes, but for any age. This left me angry. What about those rural families dealing with cancer, heart disease and stroke? Will Home Care be there for them? We need to ask our council and our government to put more money into Home Care because eve- rybody deserves Home Care when they need it most.
