Palliative Care recognizes volunteers April 25 to May 1, is Palliative Care Awareness Week. Without a group of dedicated and willing volunteers, Wingham and Area Palliative Care Services would not exist. The trained volunteers strive to enhance the quality of life for clients with a life threatening illness as well as provide support for client families before and after bereavement. The volunteers may visit the client at home, in the hospital or in nursing homes. The work can be emotionally draining and the responsibility immense. But the rewards can be extremely gratify- ing when one hears a family member comment, "When I couldn't be there with Dad anymore because of family responsibilities, I felt at peace knowing a Palliative Care volunteer would be there with him." Or, as another stated, "It is such a comfort to know that the terminally ill person is not alone Ratepayer expresses • • pessimism Continued from page 1 Lee and Hullett Twp. Reeve Tom Cunningham was the future cost of closing and capping the Blyth-Hul- lett landfill site. "We know in the future there will be big costs for closure and we hope to put away some money to cover that cost of capping the site," he said. Most of the proposed income from Turnberry would be put into a reserve for this purpose, while the rest could be used to initi- ate a recycling program in the two municipalities, he explained. At this point, a ratepayer inter- jected saying he felt "money isn't too important when you consider how difficult it is to get landfill sites approved. Anybody who gives that up for money is doing the wrong thing." Reeve Lee said "You're likely right but at some point the county will have a site... and if there isn't enough use of that site, it will be too costly to run." Ratepayer Harry Lear told Reeve Lee that although he sounded con- fident about the county opening a site, he himself wasn't as confident. "I may be a bit of a pessimist," said Mr. Lear, "But it seems the county has been on the trail of a site for many years now." Recycling was the next topic dis- cussed at the meeting. Gary Kay of the Ministry of the Environment was brought in to discuss the grants given to municipalities interested in starting a recycling program. He indicated the government does fund depots for rural areas. This information attracted the inter- est of Landfill Committee Chair, Tom Duizer, who said Hullett is considering establishing a bin depot system for the municipality. Mr. Duizer said he went to Col- borne Twp., which is similar in size to Hullett, to inspect their recently established depot system. In Col- borne, there are four depot areas equipped with three bins, two for glass, cans and plastics and one for paper. The recycling program has been budgeted at $7,000 per year and was working effectively, he said. Mr. Kay said the government would support any recycling initia- tives and gave a few helpful hints to increase profitability. "To get value from the material, separate your white paper from the rest," he advised. As well, keep the paper dry and make sure the recy- cling material is clean, i.e. glass free from ceramic material. Reeve Lee said Blyth is also looking at recycling but would dis- cuss it more at the Blyth meeting. during the 'hours that the family cannot be there." Volunteering can take many forms — a donation of time, commitment, money, skills, compassion. Someone said recently, "One of the best ways to heal is by helping other people." This desire to help others, especially someone who really needs it, often blossoms into many personal benefits. All work and monies raised through fund raising are attained by the efforts of the volunteers — board members, office workers and service volunteers. They are on call Continued from page 6 at the IGA and trees can be picked up at The Ark. Scouts, Cubs and Beavers along with the leaders will plant and deliver trees though there is a charge of $1 per tree for plant- ing. Orders for 25 trees or more will be delivered out of town free if arrangements have been made in advance, said Mr. Walker. The trees have been purchased from the local greenhouse of Keith Mulvey and Ron Clarkson with a contribution towards the purchase coming from Howick Mutual Insur- ance Company. Proceeds raised from the sale of the trees, which cost $4-$6 will go directly to financially assist the local Scouting movement. 24 hours a day, seven days a week. course will run eight weeks A spring volunteer training beginning May 11.
