Anglican churches in Seaforth,
Clinton, Mitchell have new minister
Susan Hundertmark
After careers in teaching, manage-
ment and administration - along
with mothering four children - Rev.
Sue Malpus is the new minister at
Seaforth's St. Thomas Anglican
Church, Clinton's St. Paul's
Anglican and Mitchell's Trinity
Anglican Church.
"It's a career change," she smiles.
"There were all kinds of voices
pushing me this way and I finally
started to listen."
Malpus says she applied to the
seminary to become a minister in
the early 90s but talked herself out
of the idea at the time for a number
of reasons, including the expense of
three more years of schooling.
"It was the whole, 'Am I worthy?
Is this what God is calling me to do'
sort of thing," she says.
But, when
people around
her, especially
when she was
involved in the
lay ministry,
kept asking her
if she was a

Rev. Sue Malpus
priest, she decided to go for it.
"It's an interesting journey - espe-
cially when we tune into what God's
whispering to us. When we open to
that, doors start opening for us," she
says.
Born in England and trained
there as a teacher in outdoor pur-
suits, environmental science and
physical education, Malpus has
lived in Canada since the early
1980s.
She and her husband Rob just
saw their youngest son off to college
during Labour Day weekend.
When she has time, Malpus says
she loves to quilt, hook rugs and
garden.
"I love my garden. I might be
recruiting from the local
Horticultural Societies because my
rectory has a big garden. And, I
hope I have time to garden because
it's such a good stress reliever," she
says.
Because she has worked a great
deal with children, Malpus says her
parish is hoping she'll be spending
some energy attracting more youth
to the Anglican Church.
But, first she says her biggest
challenge will be getting to know
the communities in the three
churches in her charge.
"In order to pastor people well,
you really have to know them. One
of my goals is to really get to know
people as individuals," she says.
Hensall firefighters purchase
thermal -imaging camera
to help detect heat sources
Eric Collins
GIEMEMBEIMID
Firefighters in Hensall have yet another
tool to aid in rescue and efficiently extin-
guish and reduce fire damage to properties
and increase the safety of department mem-
bers.
The Hensall Fire Department recently
purchased a thermal -imaging camera which
will aid in the detection of locations of fires
and heat sources.
The camera is an infrared imaging device
which can provide vision enhancement in
firefighting and similar emergency
response activities.
It uses a highly sensitive technology capa-
ble of recognizing small differences in tem-
perature.
Hensall Deputy Fire Chief Dave Long
said the device is so sensitive, it actually
shows footprints of someone walking on a
cement floor.
"The main purpose for the unit is search-
ing for victims," Long said. "It is also really
good for after the fire is over, pointing out
where all the hotspots are and checking for
fires in walls."
The camera "sees" temperature differ-
ences rather than visible light.
The display screen shows shades of gray
from black to white. Warmer objects appear
on the display screen as lighter grey to
white, while cooler objects appear darker
grey to black.
The retail cost for the unit is in the range
of $10,000 but the Hensall Fire Department
picked up the package for $8,500 with a
stroke of luck.
While at an event, representatives of the
Hensall Fire Department were informed
that the Windsor Fire Department's combat
challenge team recently won three of the
units.
The decision was made to purchase the
single unit at a' discount rate.
The money to purchase the unit comes
from events such as the Hensall Fireman's
Breakfast and others held each year.
