Varna students receive awards By Mary Chessell Several students from the Varna area received special awards at the Com- fluronview to meet budget BY ' STFPHANIELEVESQUE' Despite an approved resid rate increase from $221 o $23 •per day, Huroviiewr Home For the Ag - 'ed, is not expected to stay within its 1981 budget. At the September' session Of Huron County Council, Huronview, administrator Wayne Lester said because of higher than anticipated salary settlements and unex- pected nexpected .equipment breakdowns ' the budget would be surpassed. In the committee of management's report to council, it was stated the estimated expenditure for 1981 is $3,520,900. "The 1981 wage set- tlements are greater than budgeted, and although some programs have been eliminated and there has been . a reduction in staff hours, a net increase of ap- proximately $120,000 in ex- penditures will occur," the report stated. On ' ,p of this, a break • m in the heating system in the normal and special care areas is to be repaired at an estimated cost of $125,000. Of this figure, 50 per cent will be subsidized by the Ministry of Community and Social Ser- vices. The management commit- tee reported it 'may be necessary to request $98,500 in additional funds from the county. That figure is deriv- ed from adding 30 per cent of $120,000 and 50 per cent of $125,000. Also in the committee's report, it was noted the Ministry of • Community and Social Services has set $1,608,400 as the, maximum subsidy entitlement for the fiscal year April 1, 1981. to March 31,1982. This is based on '139 residential care and 171 extended care beds.

When questioned on the ex- plosion, Mr. Lester said gas fumes in the auditorium plus no ventilation is speculated to have created a bomb -like 'situation. It is also suggested that the gas fumes and the starting -of the electric motor on the furnace could have caused the explosion. Mr. Lester said gas fumes noticed earlier in the week had been investigated. He also added that gas fumes could always be noticed after the gas tank was filled. Mr. Lester said the gas tank is presently empty and the line has been capped.
