Huron committee strives for long term care
"Low cost transportation which is
accessible and affordable must be
up and running in all areas of
Huron County if the objectives of
long term care reform are to be
met," says Hal Claus, chair of the
Huron County Long Term Care
Planning Committee.
Members of the committee are
from every comer of Huron County
and represent consumers, agencies,
institutions and government ser
vices. All agreed that people who
are remaining in their own homes
or living in long term care facilities

Environment Canada seeks
achievement award nominees
In 1989, Environment Canada
established the Environmental
Achievement Awards to recognize
the success and dedication of
Canadians in protecting and
restoring the environment.
The list of recipients of this
prestigious award is impressive:
they have mounted awareness and
educational programs; they have
helped protect natural areas; they
have applied environmental
practices in the work place and in
local government; they have
deepened the understanding of the
issues and what can be done about
them.
They are contributing to making
their communities, their businesses,
our country and our planet a better
place in which to live.
Environment Canada encourages
Canadians to nominate the
environmental success stories in
their region. Nominations for these
awards are now being accepted in
five of the six categories: non
profit organization; outstanding
communications for environmental
awareness; corporate environ
mental leadership lifetime achieve
ment; and environmental leadership
appointments and be able to
participate in community activities.
"People who are unable to drive
due to a health problem or some
type of disability, including those
using a wheelchair, are going to be
a lot happier and healthier if they
can get out for a drive, get to an
appointment, to a church supper or
ball game without always wailing
for someone to have the time to
drive them," said Joanne Riehl.
"This service must also be available
for those who are temporarily
unable to drive."
Bev Brown, who works as a
resource person with community
by a municipality.
In the sixth category, environ
mental science fair project, the
winner is chosen by Environment
Canada and the Youth Science
Foundation; nominations, therefore,
are not required.
Finalists are selected by an
independent advisory body
comprised of environmentalists,
business representatives and others.
Three finalists are selected in each
category with the exception of the
Lifetime Achievement Award. In
that category, there is only one
winner.
Applications can be obtained
from any Environment Canada
office or by contacting 1-800-668-
6767. Nominations must be
postmarked on or before Aug. 2.
The 1994 awards will be
presented by Deputy Prime
Minister of Canada and Minister of
the Environment Sheila Copps at
an awards ceremony in the late fall.
The contribution of these award
winners serves as an example
inspiring all to do their part.
Everyone one can, in his or her
own way, work for a sustainable
future.

WHAT DOES THE
FUNERAL DIRECTOR DO
FOR THE FAMILIES HE
SERVES?
As a funeral director we
provide a necessary service
to the public. We consult in
great length with each
family in orddr that their
wishes and needs are
known.
Once the funeral director is
called for his professional
services he covers a
myriad of details. Some of
these details will be to
secure information for a
statement of death so that
the death can be registered.
He will also make arrange
ments for newspaper
notices, obituaries, death
certificates, burial permits,
selection of music, opening
of the grave, notifying of
fraternal or group
organizations, clergy,
receptions and many other
tasks the general public
would not realize.
At the Betts Funeral Home
we believe our services do
not end with the funeral
itself. We will also assist in
filing for Canada Pension
Plan Company or insurance
benefits. We also give
100% of our time in order
that our families needs are
fulfilled.
Should you have any
questions please call at any
time.
