Laporte seeking ideas for Auburn dog park concept One day Jacqui Empson Laporte was in Lucan attending her son's soccer game when she saw something that intrigued her. She noticed a fenced -in dog park by the field where people's dogs could run free and play. Jacqui, who owns two dogs herself, thought, `Wouldn't this be a great idea for Auburn?' There does seem to be a need for a dog park in the village. Jacqui enquired and discovered that Central Huron, just one of the three municipalities that makes up Auburn, have a current record of 13 dog tags in the village. So if the other two municipalities had similar numbers, there could be 30 to 40 dogs taking up residence in Auburn. Since we are talking about dogs, let me interject here my favourite Auburn dog story. Laura May Chamney had a little dog who knew to observe the Sabbath day. When she would take her dog out for his daily walk, he would always turn into the Co-op store because the staff there give him a treat. This was the dog's daily routine. One day when her dog got loose and ran away there was no doubt where he would go. Sure enough, he showed up at the Co-op store looking for his treat. What fascinated me about this dog was that somehow, I am not sure how, but somehow on Sundays when the Co-op store was closed, the dog knew not to turn into the store to receive its treat that day. He was able A new era Huron Christian School in Clinton kicked off its Same Foundation, Next Generation campaign, which includes a $3 million renovation to the school, on Friday night with a special barbecue for parents, students and community members. The plans for the newly -renovated school were also revealed that night — a revelation that enthralled students William Hoonaard, front, and Thebe Heyink, back. (Shawn Loughlin photo) to ascertain when it was Sunday, knowing the store would not be open for treats. I find that incredible. Anyway, back to the dog park, Jacqui is envisioning the dog park to be made up of two different sections, one for larger dogs and the other for smaller dogs. One possible location is to put the park beside the baseball diamond with the entrance being closer to the playground. The other possible location would be to put the park out past left field of the diamond. Jacqui also mentioned she would like to give the opportunity for pet owners to buy and place a cedar fence post in memory of their pet. She is looking for volunteers who would be able to do a good job carving pet's names into these posts which could be had for about a $30 donation. LaPorte says she is open to ideas and help from anyone interested working with her to see the Auburn Dog Park become a reality. You can reach Jacqui at 519-441-1349. County to support new hospice study By Shawn Loughlin The Citizen Huron County Council has approved a grant of $20,000 to the Huron Hospice Palliative Care Steering Committee to help with a study to determine the need for palliative and hospice care in Huron and Perth Counties. Huron County will split the cost of the study with Perth County and will now be part of the process to determine if the county and its facilities can support palliative care and hospice. While council supported the study, it led to some debate, as several councillors felt the study was one more case of the provincial government downloading its fiscal responsibilities to Huron County. Huron East Deputy -Mayor Joe Steffler equated the grant for the study to council's involvement in the Southwest Integrated Fibre Technology (SWIFT) project, in that if the county wanted to know if it could accommodate hospice beds, it had to "pay to play" and fund the study. Steffler himself was supportive of the request, saying there is a need for hospice and palliative care in Huron County and there is clear support for the programs in the community, which was evident to anyone who attended the public open houses on the project. Chief Administrative Officer Brenda Orchard said it was important for the county to help fund the study, even if the county Continued on page 31 FROM AUBURN stf AD CENTR VACATION/TRAVEL, ADVENTURE CANADA SAVE 15% on any of our 2017 Adventures: Northwest Passage Arctic Safari St. Lawrence Sable Island Newfoundland Circumnavigation Labrador and Greenland Offer ends September 30, 2016 www.adventurecanada.com TOLL-FREE: 1-800 363-7566 14 Front St. S.
