Architect warns it's now or never
Council moves on town hall renovation clans
Hensel] councillors decided
to get moving on plans to
renovate the town hall at their
Nov. 21 meeting after ar-
chitect Carlos Ventin told
them the renovations would
be a centennial project they'd
be remembered for.
"This project is a Winter
project that will be dead by
April. If you don't get moving
now, you might as well put
this project in the vault for
another 100 years," said Ven -
tin, an architect from Simcoe.
Phase one of the architect's
plans include replacing the
existing garage at the back of
the hall with the library which
would have a separate en
trance and a landscaped
patio. Next to the library
would be a larger council
chamber which could be used
for hearings and other com-
munity meetings.
"There would be no grant
money available if you put the
library or the council
chambers upstairs," he said.
"You might as well kiss good-
bye $50 to $60,000 in grant
money if you want the library
upstairs. Grants are only
available for community
uses; you could make it a
mini -community centre."
Using the upstairs as a
meeting place for Hensall's
seniors might be a solution,
said councillor Irene Davis
who added that the present
facilities for seniors is too
cramped for the group to in-
vite others to their meetings.
Costs for phase one were
estimated at $75,000, phase
two which would include
renovating the rest of the first
floor at $150,000 and phase
three, the construction of
ramps and an elevator for the
handicapped, would take up
the rest of the estimated total
of $300,000 to $450,000.
Council decided to start the
surveying to prepare for
construction.
Hensall will observe
Human Rights Week from
Dec. 5 to Dec. 11 councillors
decided.
"There are some third
world countries with fantastic
problems and we should go
along with the week. If we
don't, people might think
we're behind or something,"
said Reeve Harry Klungel.
Councillor Irene Davis sug-
gested the every day should
be human rights day while
Councillor Richard Packham
said that by observing the
week across Canada, the
country can show it's in favor
of human rights.

Kippen WI hears Chapman
By Margaret Hoggarth
Although the convener of
the standing committee,
Evelyn Workman, was in
hospital, she provided an
outstanding program when
Kippen East WI met at the
home of Thea Wisch on
November 16. Speaker for the
evening was James Chap-
man, Exeter, who was in-
troduced by Grace Eyre. Mr.
Chapman brought along a
computer and proceeded with
his talk on modern and an-
cient technology.
Computers bego't as huge
machines but the microchip
has made a great change in
the size of the machines. Ile
predicted that there would be
still greater changes in the
computer. Since the beginn-
ing of time, people have been
reluctant to change, but the
children in the schools are
quite interested.
However. there still has to
be a brain at work to handle
the new technology. Mr.
Chapman concluded by say-
ing that education is a
fascinating field in which to
work. Ile was thanked by
Mona Alderdice.
Mrs Drummond opened
the meeting with two
readings "A Monster Is My
Teacher," and "Peanut But-
ter." During roll call many
good hints were given and
many grammatical errors
discussed. Sunshine report
was given by Grace Pepper
and treasurer's report by
