Van Egmond Society applies
to Trillium for interpretive centre
By Susan Hundertmark
Expositor Editor
The Van Egmond Society is hoping to renovate a• shed
built 20 years ago to create an interpretive centre for
school programs and community gatherings.
The local historical society recently applied for
Trillium Foundation grant funding to add heat, lighting,
insulation, new doors, storm windows, drywall and
wheelchair access and improve the use of the 24 by 32 -
foot building behind the main house and carriage house.
"The idea came up about two years ago but the Trillium
application was complicated and took some time to
complete," says Van Egmond Society chair Peter Spinal.
While school groups now tour the main historical
house, mostly in June, Spittal says an interpretive centre
would allow schools to spend more time on site in a
classroom setting studying local history.
"All you can do now really is take the tour. But, this is
a perfect place to study the Rebellion of 1837 since Van
Egmond himself was involved in that," he says.
"This place could provide great value to the local
schools," says Spittal.
Support letters from many surrounding schools and
daycare centres are included in the application with
suggestions that the Van Egmond House allows students
to study the mid -19th Century and fits into Grade 3, 7 and
10 history curriculum and Grade 9 geography curriculum.
"Schools would jump at the chance to use the Van
Egmond House more," he says.
Spittal says the interpretive centre could also be useful
to provide shelter for patrons of the Van Egmond House
during inclement weather and to provide rental space for
weddings, receptions, dinners and family get-togethers.
While the Van Egmond House h\as become a popular
backdrop for weddings over the past few years, Spittal
says the main house has limited space to provide for
rentals.
"We can rent the dining room in the house and the
kitchen in the carriage house but an interpretive centre
would give us a lot more room to handle more people and
we wouldn't have to worry about the artifacts in the main
house," he says.
Province cuts off funding
for therapy for autism
From Page 1
children, Adair said he
recognized traits at an early
age that signalled that his son
might have autism.
By the age of two, Matthew
was diagnosed as being
autistic and was enrolled in a
preschool program designed
for children with the
disability.
At that time the Adairs
were set to move to London,
but they cancelled the move
to be closer to family.
"It was a huge traumatic,
financial loss for us and a
traumatic change in lifestyle,"
he said.
From the age of three until
he turned six, Matthew was
receiving the private in-home
autism therapy sponsored by
the government.
In the three years of the
therapy, either Adair or his
wife had to be at home with
Matthew and the therapist.
Adair said that he and his
wife have had to scale back
how many hours they work,
which affects how much
money they make a year.
"In a day when both parents
need to be working, if you
take a 40 per cent loss in
income it's dramatic," Adair
said.
Without the provincial
funding, parents are being
forced to pay $60,000 a year
for the treatment which is
provided to children with
autism until the age of six.
"We're faced with a
situation of having to pay for
a therapist or taking a
reduction in salary having one
of us lose our job or stay at
home," Adair said.
Adair said that his family is
waiting for a precedent to be
set before even thinking about
joining a class action lawsuit.
"Many of these families are
not in any position to be able
to jump on these new suits,"
Adair said. "They don't have
the money for lawyers."
Council debates how to spend
provincial funding increase
From Page 1
council can spend four to
five per cent more than it
did this year and still afford
a zero per cent tax increase.
"I think the taxpayer is
just about at the point where
he can't take it anymore,"
he said.
MacLellan warned that
zero per cent increases are

"not good management"
since municipalities always
have some kind of increased
costs.
Mayor Joe Seili pointed
out that Huron East has
achieved its five per cent
increases over the past few
years by paring down its
road construction budget.
He added that the
municipality also has a long
list of bridges that need
repair.
"This is a chance to start
catching up," he said. "I
think we can manage the
money very well."
Grey Coun. Alvin
McLellan said he didn't
want to commit any money
for 2006 until next year.
"Apparently there are a
lot of people here with a
crystal hall. I'm not
committing anything until
next year." he said.

Orchestra
members
help out
at scene
of crash
From Page 1
"On March 8, as some
of us were getting ready
to start our rehearsal,
some others were sitting
at the scene of an
accident helping some
people who were badly
injured," Bokhout said.
The driver of the van,
Matthew Bolton, 17, of
McKillop, was injured,
and the occupants of the
second van, Sandra
Morey, of Seaforth, and
her 10 -year-old daughter
Cassandra were also
injured in the accident.
After their
experiences, members of
the orchestra decided to
hold the concert in
memory of the victims
of the crash.
"We felt it would be
appropriate to dedicate
this concert to the
memory of these people
and the families who
suffered at the time of
the accident," said
Bokhout.
The Four Seasons is a
seasonal and well -loved
piece of music written
by Antonio Vivaldi. The
Blyth Festival
Orchestra's performance
of the Four Seasons
featured solo violinist
Andrea Barstad.
Bokhout said that the
Four Seasons is an ideal
piece of music for the
benefit concert because
it represents a cycle.
"We start with spring •
and finish with winter. It
indicates that life does
go on despite the had
things that can happen,"
said Bokhout, before the
performance. "We hope
somehow that this is
fitting to the event of
March 8."
