Land donation is made in memory of A.Y. and Winn McLean
From Page
before Winn. He was longtime editor
and publisher of The Huron Exposi-
tor, owned by the McLeans for more
than 100 years.
A.Y. McLean, who served as Huron
County MP from 1940 to 1953 was
also head of .the Lions Club's park
and pool committee for 40 years and
an honorary life member of the Sea -
forth Community Hospital board and
life member of the corporation of the
Seaforth Community Hospital.
According to his obituary, in The
Huron Expositor, A.Y. McLean "was
the backbone of several major hap-
penings in the Seaforth area" includ-
ing the implementation of the build-
ing and fundraising for the current
Seaforth Community Hospital build-
ing in 1964.
Donations to the hospital expan-
sion fund and to the Lions park and
pool were given_ 'as expressions of
sympathy at his death in 1988.
incidentally, the land being do-
nated to Gateway was once part of
Silver Creek farm, which belonged
to the McLeans' great great grandfa-
ther Alexander Wilson. •
"Grassroots community work was
our dad's life," said Maggie McLean,
who now lives in Olney, Maryland.
"He knew building a strong hospital
was essential.1,he was alive today,
we think he'd be involved with Gate-
• way."
The McLean family says they ad-
mire the community-based research
Gateway is doing. • •
Gateway is practical, down-to-
earth and is . making university ex-
pertise accessible to local rural com-
munities, the McLeans say.
The recent DaTA diabetes monitor-
ing project chronicled in The Huron
Expositor is an example of how aca-
demic institutions can serve press-
ing health needs in communities like
Seaforth.
"We have no doubt that the work
Gateway is pioneering will eventu-
ally be relevant to rural communi-
ties across the country," said Joe
McLean, who lives in Kelowna, B.C.

Huron East accepts tender

Huron East council • accepted the
tender of MSO Construction Limited
in the amount of $207,734 for rural
surface treatment of Morrison Line
and Beechwood Line, during a meet-
ing on July 21.
Public works manager Barry Mills
told council the aggregate that is
planned . to be used is about five -
eights stone and acceptable under
Ontario Provincial Standards.
Coun. Bob Fisher said he's heard
complaints from people about a sec-
tion of Morrison Line that "isn't hold-
ing up after a couple of years."
don't know if that could be di-
rectly associated with a gradual tar
and chip," Mills said, suggesting it
might instead be a problem with the
roadbed, which can be pulled up in
the winter by snowplows or damaged
by frost heave.
"This type of product is easier for
us to maintain," he said.
Millo noted that MSO Construction
Limited worked on the north end
of Morrison Line last year and the
company has been around for more
than 20 years, working all across the
province.
But he added that it was encourag-
ing to see a second bid come in, from
Cornell Contracting Limited, which
was asking $217,999, more than
$10,000 more than MSO.
"It's good to see a second price come
in this year, we haven't had a second
price for that,"
he said. "Hope-
fully next year
we might even
see another one
so there issome
more compe-
tition coming
up. They're in-
terested in our
business, which
is good."
