At the Bruce Primary Counselling Ser- vice, counsellers work with individuals, couples and families with a wide range of problems and offer group therapy for men and women. "The problem could be batter- ing, break-up, depression - the list goes on," said Lois Hinz, director. "We also have therapy support groups for families struggling with teenagers." Information presented during the open meeting was intended, not only for those present, but for farmers to take back to their neighborhoods and tell others who are experiencing problems in farming. "If we're going to get any place, we're going to have to have a unified voice," said Roy Pennington, reeve of Culross Township, chairman of the meeting. "We've got to stand up and be counted." Pennington was generally pleased with the outcome of the evening's meeting. "I would liked to have seen more there, but if you had 100 people and nobody took part, you wouldn't accomplish anything. I was really pleased with the reaction from the audience." Monday night's meeting was a trial run for similar sessions to be held throughout the county. The idea to hold the meetings originated back in February at Bruce Directions '87, a day -long meeting of several farm families, organizations and agencies. At that time a committee was formed to decide on a method of getting needed information out to the farming community about services available. Because of the success of Monday night's meeting, Pennington said the com- mittee will go ahead with another meeting, probably farther up the county in the ('hesley or Paisley area. There will be one change forthe next meeting. A few farmers who arrived late were more than likely busy on the farm and found it difficult to make a 7:30 meeting. "The next one will be later. That's one mistake we made," said Pennington. "We started too early." Nursing home award KINCARDINE - A new 40 -bed nursing home to be located in Kincardine, -original- ly awarded to Kincardine Nursing Home Limited in late 1984, has been re -awarded to Versa -Care Limited, Health Minister Murray Elston announced today. The award was withdrawn in early April after it became apparent that Kincardine Nursing Home Limited was unable to fulfill the terms and conditions of the award within the specified time frame. "The decision to -re -award the beds to Versa -Care was based upon their 1984 pro- posal, and their record of performance in operating nursing homes across Ontario," Mr. Elston commented. Versa -Care Limited currently owns and operates 13 homes with a combined total of 1,354 beds; this includes the nine Bestview nursing homes which Versa -Care acquired last year. The company also 'manages other nursing homes in the province on a contract basis'. Versa -Care has acquired an appropriate site in Kincardine. In accepting the award, the company has agreed to arrange for necessary zoning changes without delay, as well as confirm financial arrangements and submit initial plans for the home for ministry approval by the end of August. The new home is expected to be open by the end of .1988: The Grey -Bruce District Health. Council recommended that the nursing home beds be.established in Kincardine: Can you find your house?
