Huronview
to convert
beds for
extended care
Jack Riddell, M.P.P. Huron-
Middlesex, on behalf of John
Sweeney, Ontario's Minister of
Community and Social Services,
recently announced plans for a
bed conversion project at the
Huronview Home for the Aged in
Clinton.
Riddell said that the ministry
would provide assistance to
Huron County, operators of the
home, to convert 10 of its
residential care beds to extended
care. Extended care beds are
intended for the frailer residents
of the home who require more
than one and a half hours of daily
personal and nursing care.
"I am pleased that the mini-
stry can offer this assistance to
help the home expand its
services and personnel," said
Riddell. "This illustrates the
Ontario government's commit-
ment to ensure that an appropri-
ate level of quality care is
available for those seniors who
need it."
Huronview, a municipal home
for the aged, operated by the
County of Huron, plans to
complete the conversion project
this month and offer area seniors
a total of 129 residential care and
181 extended care beds.
Farmers:
beware
of silo gas
It's silo filling time - and it's
also time to remember that the
deadly nitrogen dioxide silo gas
maybe present in a tower silo for
three to four weeks after it is
filled. Any type of stress during
the growing season can dramati-
cally increase the potential for
the ensiled material to give off
nitrogen dioxide gas. The dry
weather of this summer, follow-
ed by the warm wet period, may
increase the incidence of silo gas
this fall. Beware.
Indicators of the presence of
silo gas include a reddish brown
haze and a strong "bleach-like"
odour on the silo surface or in the
immediate silo area. However,
you may have silo gas without
these signs.
A recent survey in Minnesota
revealed that 50 per cent of
conventional tower silos contain-
ed silo gas at the time of ensiling.
Only three per cent of farmers in
the study knew anything about
the danger posed by silo gas.
It is best to stay out of a freshly
filled silo unless you are 100 per
cent certain thatdeadly gases
are not present. If it is essential
to go into the structure, entry
should only be undertaken by a
trained individual wearing a
self-contained breathing appar-
atus.
Beware of the strong possibil-
ity that lethal gases may be
present, REGARDLESS of the
crop being ensiled. Blurred
vision, a burning sensation in the
mouth and nostrils, and a feeling
of drowsiness are typical reac-
tions to silo gas exposure.
Anyone who experiences these
symptoms while working in or
around a silo, must get out of the
area immediately, since death
may be only seconds away!
