Susan Hunderttnark
Over 110 volunteers from 12 hos-
pital auxiliaries across Ontario's
Region 2 of the Hospital Auxiliary
Association of Ontario (HAAO) met
in Seaforth Monday for a fall confer-
ence.
"This is the ninth conference
we've hosted since 1966," said
Region 2 president and Seaforth
hospital auxiliary member Bonnie
Bedard.
Along with hearing speakers
about internet safety, occupational
therapy, epilepsy education and
chair fitness, Bedard said the auxil-
iaries are discussing common prob-
lems and concerns, such as ways to
get more people interested in volun-
teering.
"We are all trying to stay afloat
and having a hard time getting new
members," she said, adding that

conferences are often opportunities
to educate the. public about what
membership in a hospital auxiliary
has to offer.
Jean Fotheringham, president of
the HAAO, said hospital auxiliaries
are always hoping to find ways to
attract younger members.
"I tell our auxiliaries to make
their organizations as attractive as
possible and to blow their own
horns. A lot of people don't know
what auxiliaries do," she said.
In 2005, auxiliaries throughout
Ontario donated 3.5 million volun-
teer hours and raised a total of
$49.7 million for hospitals through-
out the province.
"When people hear those figures,
they want to join," she said.
Fotheringham agreed that confer-
ence is a way to educate the public
about the contribution auxiliaries
make.
"Auxiliaries are made up of great
people - that's just the nature of the
beast," she said.
Bluewater
investigating
future of
Public UtiIfties
Commission:
Bluewater council is still investi-
gating the possibilities for the future
of its former Public Utilities
Commission in Hensall.
Facilities manager Tom Dickins
noted at a recent council meeting
that though council had hoped to
mete out _a decision on the building's
fate at its. Sept. 11 meeting, it must
first meet its lawyer's recommenda-
tions, including one to have the area
surveyed and appraised.
Municipality looks into selling
section of Brock Street
The municipality is looking into
the possibility of selling a section of
Brock Street in Hensall to
Greenfield Ethanol in order to elimi-
nate any liability issues that may
arise once the plant is operational.
Public Works manager Ross Fisher
noted a neighbouring property
owner will also be approached about
the sale.
Fisher added the land in question
is already zoned industrial so some
of the usual stipulations - including
a survey - will not be required.
