Council hears surprising news
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen editor
A question regarding
installment of flooring
Huronview brought some surprising
news to county councillors at the
April 3 meeting.
Faced with a recommendation to
accept a quote from Bluewater
Carpet and Tile for ceramic tile
installation Councillor Rob Morley,
of South Huron, said he had a
problem spending $350,000 on a
facility that was probably going to
fail again.
Claus Breede, project manager for
the demolition of the former
Huronview in 1994 explained that he
was also asked to take a look at the
deficiencies for the home. “There
were 350 items in this second year
of existence.”
In 1995 an architectural firm was
hired to do a complete analysis.
From then they went on to tender.
The price came in at $600,000 to
repair identified issues.
Saying he knew nothing about
structural problems at the home,
South Huron Councillor Joe Hogan
asked if there was any way of getting
more drainage outside.
Bluewater Councillor and
agriculture, public works and seniors
committee chair Paul Klopp said the
engineer had been asked to start that
process. “We clearly want to have
that happen. We want the water
stopped before the tile and new
flooring are installed.”
Huron East Councillor Bernie
MacLellan, who also sits on the
the
for
committee agreed. “It’s good to hear
we’re going to try and address the
water issue. However, the problem is
the province has said to fix it or else
and although the price is up it’s the
best we can get. It may not be a good
situation but we need to move
forward.”
Klopp said he felt there was a need
to push the motion forward, but at
the same time “let’s see if we can
stop that water.”

Coffee Club meets
at local restaurant
Thursday, April 3 the Coffee Club
met at Stickers with 18 in
attendance.
After coffee time Bernice
Anderson, Lois Haines, Tina Empey,
June Robinson, Margaret
Hildebrand, Evelyn Christensen,
Grace Cartwright. Maureen Bean
and Marg Fraser went to Bill
Robinson’s maple syrup building.
He has thousands of trees tapped
for sap. The sap is piped to the
holding tanks in the building where
it is held until it goes to the
evaporator. The evaporator has large
fireboxes which heat up the machine
and boil the sap. From the
evaporator it goes to the finishing
machine to be put into maple syrup
or maple candy or other of the
several products sold.
Comparisons were made to the
olden days where syrup was
gathered by hand and transported by
horse and sleigh to the sugar shack
where it was boiled in a large pan on
an open fire. It was later taken into
the home and boiled again before
use.
It looks easier today but still
requires a lot of hard work.
FROM AUBURN
Help for Today.
Hope for Tomorrow.
