Ground broken for
new Wingham Day Centre
The Wingham and Area Day
Centre has experienced many
changes over the years. Along with
a new name, (the day centre is no
longer known as the Day Centre for
the Homebound), the most drama
tic change to date is the develop
ment of new facility to house the
Day Centre Program.
The Day Centre has ha0 the
opportunity to rent the Armouries
in exchange for a grant. Having use
of the armouries over the years,
compliments of the Town of Wing
ham, has been greatly appreciated.
The Day Centre program has
grown to such an extent, that it was
time to look for alternate quarters.
Dr. Maarten Bokhout, the MOH
for Huron, and Linda Girrard, a
MCSS Program Supervisor came
up with the idea that the Day
Centre could share a facility with
the Health Unit. This idea evolved
into the development of a separate
facility for the Day Centre. Steve
McDougall Construction Ltd., ow
ner of the land and contractor for
the new building, was very enthusi
astic about the development of
such a project.
The Ministry of Community and
Social Services made this possible
by granting $55,000 to the Day
Centre to assist in the construction
of the facility, with the understand
ing that a reduced fee for rent
would be charged over a long term
period.

Increased operational funding
through the Waterloo office and the
London office of MCSS made it
possible to include rent in our
budgeted expenses. (Rent is a new
expense for the day centre). The
Waterloo Office became involved
due to the fact that 30 per cent of
the clients come from Bruce Coun
ty-
Once the new facility is available
for operation, the Day Centre will
host a new program; a Day Away
program for those with Alzheimers
or related disorders. The building
will have special features that make
life easier for adults with special
needs. Dr. Myra Schiff a consultant
from Toronto was very helpful in
the design of the building. One of
the special features includes auto
matic doors at the main entrance.
The doors feature a safety scanner
that will keep the door open until
the individual has travelled all the
way through the door. The Day
Centre will need to raise approxi
mately $8,000 on top of the regular
budget, in order to pay for the
doors. You will hear more about the
Day Centre’s Fundraising Cam
paign in the fall. The doors
emphasize safety and encourage
independence, which is the ulti
mate goal of the day centre’s
program.
An official opening will beheld
once the building has been com
pleted and the Day Centre takes
over its new home.

challenge. While more than 7300 of
the bombers were built during the
war carrying on night bombing
raids deep into Germany, few were
left. It took 27 engines from other
planes of the era to get enough
parts to assemble four engines to
this aircraft plus two spares.
When the plane took to the air
again in 1989 it was named after
Andrew Mynarski, the Canadian
who was awarded a Victoria Cross
posthumously for bravery in rescu
ing a crewman from a burning
Lancaster. It has since flown across
the continent to let people see this
piece of living history. It has just
returned from a trip to the west
coast including stops in Winnipeg
and Abbotsford, B.C., Mr. Schade
said.
A fly-in, drive-in breakfast at the
Goderich airport will start off the
day at 8 a.m. At 9 p.m. the
Lancaster will fly in from Mount
Hope. The opening of the new
runway will take place at 2 p.m.
The bomber will take off a 3 p.m.
and do a fly-past before heading to
Sarnia and Windsor for more
fly-pasts. It will return to the area
Sunday afternoon to do a fly-past at
Listowel at 4:45 p.m.
Other aircraft from the Canadian
War Plane Heritage Museum will
also visit Goderich for the event.

sides and the controlled conditions,
along with the chopping and stirr
ing of the composting machine,
composting is both odorless and
much faster than open-air compost
ing.
The machine itself cost about
$50,000 but the whole University of
Minnesota project is targeted at
nearly a half million dollars, Mr.
Lee says. The system can be much
more economical, he says and his
company is now working with an
engineer to be able to provide a
whole system for customers, not
just the composting machine. He
says he’s more excited over the
potential for this machine than for
anything since he first got involved
in manufacturing the manurigation
equipment that has been the main
product for the company.
Already the company has pre
pared a bid for a program for the
City of Hull, Quebec which would
handle 100 tons a day.
Smaller units could be used to do
several composting bins, he says
and need not be powered by
electricity. One unit is designed to
run on methane gas produced by
the composting system.
Composting can be economical
for municipalities, he says. Costs
realistically should be in the $35 a
ton range, cheaper than it costs
now to bury the garbage. If the
municipality finds a market for the
compost it could cut costs further.
Even if you only bury the resulting
compost it is much more stable and
doesn’t create problems producing
methane gas.
With Huron County currently
undergoing a Waste Management
Master Plan study to decide what
to do with the county’s garbage for
the next 40 years, Mr. Lee says he
has tried to make county officials
aware of the development of his
machine but doesn’t know how
seriously the consulting engineers
will take it. In the meantime,
however, he sees good opportuni
ties providing the composting sy
stem to other clients across the
continent.
