CURB grants now available Health Minister Ruth Grier announced June 9 the first step in the development of a regional planning model for south-western Ontario. A regional planning steering committee has begun work already on the planning model and will report back to the minister by the end of September. The committee will be making recommendations on how district health councils in the region can come together to plan, what kinds of planning and decision making will be involved, and the steps needed to put this model in place. "The people of southwestern Ontario will benefit when health care planning is closer to the community," Mrs. Grier said. "The province will benefit when this planning model is eventually adopted in the rest of Ontario." Pen founds greet at United Greeters at Londesboro United Church on Sunday, June 20 were Elgin and Joy Penfound. Flowers on the memorial stand were in memory of Norman Cartwright, placed by his wife Florence and family. Holy Communion was held. A congregational meeting followed the service to hear the building committee report. Next Sunday there will be a guest speaker, Mrs. Elly Van Bergen of Exeter United Church. Choir practice is Sunday at 10:15 a.m. Woman attends aniversary Hazel Watkins attended a 50th anniversary for Charlie and Janella Mallett of Palmerston on Saturday. This idea of strengthening regional planning is one of the recommendations from the 1991 report by the Comprehensive Health System Planning Conunis- sion for London and the Southwest Region. However, instead of creating new bodies at the regional level, as the commission recommended, the committee will be seeking ways to emphasize the planning role of district health councils. Steering committee chairman Douglas Lawson is one of three former Southwest commission members participating. The committee is also composed of representatives of district health councils in southwestern Ontario, the Association of District Health Councils of Ontario, health care providers, academics and the public.

Under the CURB Program (Clean Up Rural Beaches), grants are available to construct manure storages, to fence livestock out of watercourses, to install milkhouse washwater disposal systems, and to repair private septic systems. The CURB Program is designed to help clean up sources of bacteria and phosphorus pollution that affect water quality in the Maitland, Nine Mile and Eighteen Mile Rivers. To date, over $1 million in grants have been issued to farmers and landowners for the completion of about 200 projects. This voluntary program is funded by the Ministry of the Environment and Energy and the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA). Financial assistance is limited to applicants who are polluting surface waters. Proposed projects with the greatest potential for reducing pollution will be considered first for funding. The CURB Program offers 50 per cent grants up to $2,000 to repair or replace a septic system that is polluting a nearby watercourse. Farmers can receive a 75 per cent grant up to a total of $10,000 to pay for costs of fencing livestock out of watercourses. Grants are also available for the construction of a crossing and an alternate water source as part of a fencing project. Manure storages are eligible for a 50 per cent grant up to $12,000. The grant for milkhouse washwater disposal systems is 50 per cent, with a maximum grant of $5,000. Bring your own bags when shopping. L The news from ondesboro
