MASTER OF CEREMONIES — JOHNNY BRENT ‘..— o'-. '>NX
By SHIRLEY J. KELLER
The cabin and the
wheelhouse from the Shelter
Bay, now used by its owner
the Goderich Elevator and
Transit Co. as a storage
barge in Goderich harbor,
could be moving, to Huron
County Pioneer Museum if
Ray Scotchmer, the
museum curator, can find
enough money.
1116 property committee
chairman, Reeve D.R.
McGregor, told county coun
cil in Goderich Thursday the
Shelter Bay components are
a gift but the moving will be
expensive.
Lackie Bros. Limited of
Kitchener say that for $8,170
they will retnove the 50 ton
cabin and wheelhouse from
the harbor to the museum
grounds. But that’s just the
beginning.
Scotchmer estimates it
will take another $4,000 or
$5,000 to facilitate the move
by hiring crews to move
wires and other obstacles in
the way, and to build a
proper display for the ex
hibit.
The curator told county
council he has had many
queries concerning the
reason the Goderich-located
museum doesn’t have a
marine section. Since
Goderich is a port, it would
seem only fitting,
Scotchmer said.
Now that the cabin and
wheelhouse from the Shelter
Bay are available, a marine
museum seems a more like
ly possibility ... but the
necessary money just isn’t
in the budget at the moment.
“The best place for a boat
is in the water,” said Reeve
Grant Stirling, “and I’d
leave it there”.
No action was taken on the
matter until further details
can be obtained.
In other business, the
property committee granted
the contract for caretakers’
uniforms to Campbell’s
Men’s Wear in Clinton for
$516.81; granted the tender
• for replacement of the
Registry Office roof to Ex
eter Roofing and Sheet
Metal Co. Ltd. for $4,445;
and approved the tender of
R.J. Lawrie of Blyth for $5,-
680 for painting the court
house windows. Lawrie’s
was the only bid.
Two quotations for steel to
replace the first section of
the steps at Dunlop’s Tomb
were each over $1,300. The
property committee has
agreed to look into steps
made from railroad ties or
treated posts.

By SHIRLEY J. KELLER
In the past 10 years, accor
ding to the administrator of
Huronview. Huron County
Home for the Aged near
Clinton, the role of the home
has changed from a
residence for senior citizens
to a health care facility.
Chester Archibald says
the average age of residents
has gradually increased due
to community support ser
vices that allow senior
citizens to remain longer in
their own homes. Archibald
said such things as housing
units built especially for
seniors, meals-on-wheels,
home care services,
homemaking services and
day care centres allow
Huron’s elderly to be much
more self-reliant for a
longer period of time.
As a result, Huronview’s
extended care services are
much more in demand.
Figures in a report prepared
by Archibald, showed that
while the number of
residents at Huronview was
the same in 1977 as in 1978,
292 men and women, the
number of resident days had
diminished from 108,461 in
1977 to 107,064 in 1978.
Archibald explained that
residents who are older
when they arrive, and not in
good health, need extended
car facilities. Often times,
the normal care wing has
space while the extended
care beds are full with a
long waiting list.
Huronview does offer
some special services for
seniors now, including vaca
tion care. This service
allows a family with an
elderly person in their
home, to take a holiday
while their charge is cared
for temporarily at Huron
view.
That service was started
in 1971 and is now becoming
better known and more pop
ular.
Huronview also offers a
day care centre which is
presently attended by an
average of 11 people per
day. While this service
operates separately from
the Home, residents and day
care people do get together
for many activities.
Archibald does feel that

such visits to Huronview
help to dispell much of the
old stigma attached to the
county home for the aged.
The administrator thinks
that when visiting seniors
see the friendly, pleasant at
mosphere at Huronview,
they will be much less con
cerned when it is necessary
for them to leave their own
homes and move into Huron
view or a facility like it.
When Huron County Coun
cil met on Thursday in
Goderich, councillors were
treated to a letter from
Judge K.F. Arkell of Ver
non, British Columbia, who
spent a week visiting his
father who is a resident of
Huronview.
Writes Judge Arkell, “I
want to commend you and
all of your staff for the
manner in which you
operate the home at Huron
view. All of the staff were
extremely kihd, pleasant
and co-operative at all
times. The food in the
cafeteria was excellent and
Mrs. Rogers, the dietician,
should be commended in this
regard.”
In our business, county
council learned that the
future will require many im
provements at Huronview ’
including new equipment,
furnishings, redecorating,
minor renovations, etc.
Archibald was questioned
on the fire detectors at the
Home. It was learned these
safety devices are wired
directly into the electrical
service.
Reeve Harold Robinson ,
pointed out that if there is a I
fire in the electrical service
the smoke detectors would
be rendered useless. Robin
son felt battery Operated
smoke detectors would give
the best protection in case of
fire.
Archibald conceded that
while there is an auxiliary
power supply at Huronview,
it does not kick in
automatically. In case of a
fire in the electrical circuit,
then, the smoke detectors
would be ineffective.
