It’s time for celebrating family,
enjoying the gifts and joys that each
one brings to a gathering. It is so
nice to have family that truly enjoy
each other, or at least they do a
pretty good job of fooling this
mother - so keep it up, thanks.
Anyway I hope you had a good
Mother’s Day with your
descendants.
It was alumni time last week at
Guelph for the grads of St. Joseph’s
- the yearly dinner and chat to catch
up with the nurses who knew you as
a teenager. Some of the stories are
still hard to believe. These folks saw
you work and worry into being a real
nurse.
It’s always good for the soul to
rekindle friendships that have gone
on for over 30 years and to keep it in
your mind that it really isn’t the
years that count, it’s the attitude to
them. Two of the women there were
celebrating their 65th year as St.
Joe’s grads and were pretty spunky
too.
This time of year is just full of
neat things to see and do, so be sure
to mark down the United Church
dinner on May 25, then get your
stuff or your cash ready for the
village garage sale May 31.
The Lions’ members will be
seeing you about a ticket for their
elimination draw and dinner in June
and the folks from the community
vacation Bible school would like
you to save the second week in
August to help or bring the kids to
this fun event. Each church has the
details so check it out.
One of Bev Brown’s adopted
nephews did her proud. Craig Fair
from Bluevale who learned a thing
or two at Bev’s piano won one of the
highest awards at Sheridan College
graduation this year in the Arts
program, showing great potential in
acting, music and dance. Good work
Craig.
Did you hear the shouts of glee
last week as the role of grandparent
was bestowed on Frank and Kathy
Workman. Duncan has arrived and
Craig and Lisa as well as Uncle
Peter are just pretty pleased with
life.
Enjoy the gardens.
Bye now, Betty G. W.

More subsidies for child care
By Keith Roulston
Citizen publisher
The number of Huron County
parents getting subsidies to send
their children to child care will
increase under a policy starting next
month.
The county gets a $661,000 child
care subsidy a year from the
province but last year only $300,000
was spent. The county’s social and
cultural services committee noted
there was the possibility the province
would eventually cut funding if it
was not used.
In addition, councillors like Lin
Steffler of Huron East and Carol
Mitchell of Central Huron had been
asking for more support for
municipal day care centres which are
running deficits. Subsidizing the
parents will allow greater use of
daycare centres, helping centres
financially.
Among those consulted in the
discussions was Walton Little
School and day care centres in
Goderich, Tuckersmith
Wingham.
