Helen Grubb, clerk-treasurer said the 95-cent bank charge was not saving the village office much work since it was still up to village staff to reconcile the tax account. Council also changed the by-law to require that final payment of taxes be delayed to December 2 instead of Nov. 17. Councillor William Manning, in suggesting, the change, said that many taxpayers depend on the pension cheques to help pay their taxes and this would give them one extra chequebetween the September third-quarter tax payment and the final installment. In a pretty ceremony that marked the end of the season for the Belgrave Guides and Brownies at the Belgrave Women’s Institute Hall on June 9, seven Brownies received certificates as they “flew up’’ to Guides.

Huron to pitot 'one-stop'care Senior and physically-disabled adult residents of Huron County will be among the first in Ontario to sample the advantages of “one- stop” access to all the health and social services they need to remain in their own homes, accordingtoan announcement made in the legisla­ ture late last week. Ron Van Horne, the Ontario minister for senior citizens’ affairs, said that the towns of Wingham, Clinton, Seaforth, Goderich and Exeter, as well as most of Huron’s smaller communities, will form one of five pilot schemes designed to improve access to the services needed to provide ongoing care. At present, home care services are available through a number of different groups and agencies across the county, which may make it difficult for some of those in need to find the help they need, says Betty Cardno, Director of Home Care for the Huron County Health Unit, an organization responsible to the Huron County Board of Health. “As far as I can tell, the number one priority (of this program) is to co-ordinate and provide improved access to all these services, without taking away any of the autonomy of those already in existence, which generally provide excellent care,’ ’ Mrs. Cardno told The Citizen. She added that although the Home Care program already has a county-wide toll-free number, it is West Wawanosh council Ball clubs to get funds West Wawanosh Township councillors approved several re­ quests for funding made by community groups at its meeting of June 1, but turned down a petition from an Auburn resident for repairs to the sidewalk adjacent to his property. Following a delegation presen­ ted by Delmar Sproul and Randy Kerr, council approved a donation of $200 to each of two Nile slow-pitch teams, but turned down a delegation from Robert Slater of Auburn for the sidewalk repair, on the grounds that no funding is available for such a project this year. Council also approved a $1,100 not widely known, nor do some clients realize the range of services available. “We hope to make it easier for clients to find what they need without getting lost in layers of bureaucracy,” she said. Mrs. Cardnosaidshefeltthat Huron had been chosen by the ministry to test the new program because it already has an excellent system of integrated home care in . place, one of only a few counties to do so. Piloted here in May, 1986, the Integrated Homemaker Ser­ vice provides home making servic­ es to the frail elderly, and to physically disabled adults who need help to remain independent. The service can provide up to 80 hours of care in the first month, and up to 60 hours per month in each succeeding month, at no cost to all those who qualify, she explained. Mr. Van Horne said that the major message that had emerged in consultation meetings across the province is that what senior citizens want most is to remain in their own homes, butthat many find it difficult to get the services they need to allow them this independence, because some are either non-existent or insufficient­ ly developed, while delivery of others is often fragmented and unco-ordinated. The one-stop approach has been devised to allow communities to organize, with provincial help, a complete range of co-ordinated to the Blyth and District Commun­ ity Centre Board for 1987, and a grant of $50 to the Huron County Plowmen’s Association for the same year. In other business, council accep­ ted the application of Robert McAIlisterof RR2, Auburn, ata contract price of $8 per hour as landfill site supervisor. Council also accepted a tender from Bannerman Contracting Limited of Kincardine to supply 25,000 cubic yards of pit run gravel for township roads at $1.07 per yard. The building inspector was authorized to issue building per­ mits for garages to both R. Durnin and G. Errington; and for sheds to both A. Chisholm and C. Stewart. services obtainable through con­ tact with one central agency. Mr. Van Horne said he hopes to have a meeting arranged with Huron County officials within the next few weeks to get the evaluation process started by an independent agency. This process will identify the services now available within the county, and map out a program to fill in the gaps, he explained. Jean Young, executive director of Town and Country Homemakers in Wingham, the largest provider of homemaker services in the county, was in Toronto for the announcement of the new program on June 11, but was not available for comment at press time. Mrs. Young was recently elected presi­ dent of the Ontario Association of Visiting Homemaker Services, and is wbll-known across the province for her innovative approach to providing trained homemakers for those in need. No new programs, Stevenson says Continued from page 14 “ To a large extent, (the Liberals) have j ust increased funding to farm programs already in place under the Conservative government, ’ ’ he said, adding that the Ontario Family Farm Interest Rate Reduc­ tion program (OFFIRR) was the only really new program the new government had introduced, since several other programs implemen- tedsince 1985were “already on the drawing board’’ before the P.C. downfall. “We have to’ look at the programs in place in the U.S., Europe, and in the Canadian west, and ask ourselves if we should continue to fund the present Ontario programs, or if we should re-assess them and re-allocate funding, or find new money for programs designed to address today’s problems,” Mr. Stevenson continued. “We have to provide opportuni­ ties for income to farmers, but we have to do it in some way so as not to aggravate the excess production problems in the world today. Basically, the way to accomplish this is to provide agriculture with increased subsidies.”
