A meeting of the Auxiliary to
Clinton Public Hospital was held on
Monday, May 7 with 30 members
present. Kim Van Wyk of the
Clinton Family Health was the guest
speaker and informed the group of
the resources and programs
available there. Jennifer, a summer
student with the Health Kick
Program, was introduced by Kim.
Kim stated that both staff and clinics
are partnering to share resources.
On April 16 many members were
treated to a volunteer appreciation
dinner. Auxiliary members gave
comments from the speakers heard
when 13 members attended the
HAAO Spring Conference in
Seaforth on April 30. Peggy
Menzies told of her aunt, Ruby
Haddy, who was the first nursing
graduate from the Clinton Public
Hospital and of Ruby’s exemplary
nursing career. The auxiliary offers
The Ruby Haddy Award each year to
high school graduates who are
entering studies in a health-related
field. Students may ask their schools

Huron County’s “truck-eating
bridge” has claimed another victim.
Huron County’s Director of Public
Works Dave Laurie said the bridge
on County Road 13 near Clinton,
which has been an ongoing problem,
has been hit by another truck.
Laurie said the argument between
Huron County and the railroad
company with an allowance atop the
bridge has been ongoing for months
and he called the company’s last
proposal “ridiculous”.
Laurie says he hopes the issue will
be sorted out by the end of June, but
that he couldn’t make any promises.
The county has wanted to make
changes to the bridge for years, but
needs the permission of the railroad
company.
“I don’t understand why we have
to cater to the railroad,” said
Goderich Mayor Deb Shewfelt. “It’s
our road. The railroad might not
even be allowed to cross it.
“We may be going after someone
when we don’t even need
permission.”
Laurie said he has been thorough
in his research and the railroad
company does have to be involved,
as much as he wishes that wasn’t the
case.
“Nothing would delight me more,”
Laurie said of not having to get the
railroad company’s permission. “I’m
not happy.”
