Riddell
The loss of 30 nursing home beds in
Seaforth is not going unnoticed by
Huron -Middlesex MPP Jack Riddell.
In a letter sent recently to the
Minister of Health, Riddell asked that
Seaforth receive an allocation of 30
beds immediately. The allocation, he

wants Seaforth
said, would meet the new need which
has arisen as a result of the Ministry's
approval to license the building of a
30 -bed home in Exeter.
Riddell acknowledged he has been
working -hard with the people of Ex-
eter to secure an allocation of nurs-

ended with Arachne not being the
best. Athena the Queen of the air was
best at weaving.

Public Speaking - All of the students
from Grades 3 and up are doing
Public Speaking. Our class, grade
five, had to draw numbers. I got
number one. At first, when I drew my
number I felt awful but now I am
relieved that I am finished. We
started speeches and there are some
good ones. I never look forward to do-

to be great fun.

Reed Basket - January 18. our
Grade 8 class began the makings of
a reed basket. It took that first week
to make a wood circular base with
holes drilled in the bottotn. The next
week we began weaving the baskets.
All of the reed had to be soaked in hot
water first so that it would not break
when it was applied. Some of the reed
was dyed different colours. The
baskets look really decorative upon
completion. They ended up in all
shapes and sizes. Some will be used

Room 12 - Room 12 has been work-
ing hard and having fun. We've been
doing experiments about solids, li-
quids, and gases. In art we've made
crayon pictures and covered them
with a yellow, green and blue wash.
We also have been comparing the
town and country. In math we have
been measuring in centimetres and
metres. We also measured with paper
clips, fingers, arms, legs and bodies.
We just began reading the novels 'The
School For Cats' and 'The Hare and
the Tortoise'. We like it in Room 12
and think our school is the best.

Preparing for Public Speaking -
This year we are starting Public
Speaking. I picked my topic about
cats and kittens. First you get some
information out of books. Then you
write it out in a rough copy. It has to
be three minutes. Then you let your
teacher check it. Next write in on
good copy. Then you practice it. This
week we judge it in our classroom
and they pick five good speakers.
They go to the gym. Next year we are
going to the gym because we are just
learning this year.

to have a twin class in Nova Scotia so
she wrote to Project Canada. When
Project Canada wrote hack they
couldn't get one in Nova Scotia so they
got one in Ottawa for us. Their school
is called Dunlop Public School. They
have 22 children in their class. Their
teacher's name is Mrs. Morrison.
Two kids in our class had to share
because we have 23 children in our
class. They wrote Happy New Year

cards for them before the holidays.
We got the New Year letters January
28 and they sent them January 14. My

ing home beds to that community but
wrote in his letter that he was upset
at the way the Ministry made its
decision.
He said he was pleased to hear that
an allocation of 30 beds had been ap-
proved for Exeter but added it was
unfortunate the Ministry found itself
in the position of "having to service
the needs of one town only by depriv-
ing another town of its long establish-
ed needs."
Riddell said he found the manner in
which the transfer of beds was ap
proved on the part of the Ministry,
without consultation with the Seaforth
officials, "unusual to say the least"
and said it "certainly displaced and
refused to recognize the vital impor-
tance of input of the community"
from which the beds were being
taken.
"It seems to me," he wrote, "that
you owe it to the Town of.l6eaforth,
who are being displaced and disad-
vantaged by the removal of the beds,
a new allocation of beds to cover the
need immediately."
In reference to his letter, Riddell
said he doubted he would receive a
reply before the new cabinet had
assembled. He did say that he ex-
pected it tohave some positive results
for Seaforth.
"The Ministry makes so much
money available, and so many beds
available each year, so I'm sure with
what we're saying the Town of
Seaforth will be right at the top of the
list for receiving more beds," he said.
"Apparently this thing has been
happening in a lot of communities.
This thing in Seaforth is not a first.
The Ministry has been reallocating
beds from a number of older homes
around the province. It's been a policy
of government that I've not been
aware of. But it still surprises me that
they'd do such a thing without con-
sulting with all parties involved," he
said.
Calling the Ministry decision a
"disservice which has been visited
upon the Town of Seaforth", Riddell
said he would not rest until the
"disservice" was "remedied" and
"rectified".
