Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1986-03-19, Page 2Page 2—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 1986 Requests for donations will By Anne Narejko CLINTON - Council received several re- quests for donations during their March 17 meeting, but because the budget has not yet been set, the requests will be taken into con- sideration at a later date. Public Hospital Dan Steyn, Administrator of the Clinton Public Hospital (CpH) and Dr. Art Steed, made their request in person, asking for a donation for the new CPH obstetric wing and renovations of the chronic care floor. The deliveries of newborns at the hospital has "more than doubled. in recent years, and this year alone, it is up 20 per cent," Mr. Steyn told council. "The equipment and ser- vice has been quoted as excellent but the physical surroundings are not so great." When Dr. Steed was asked for his profes- sional opinion on what it is like to work under the cramped conditions in the obstetrics department, he said, "I don't know how long we can continye with this." Dr. Steed also commented on the com- bination of chronic care patients and obstetrics patients, telling council members it is far from ideal. The hospital has received a grant of up to $400,000 from the Ministry of Health for the $800.000. The remainder will be raised through a fundraising campaign and from Huron County Council and about $48,000 from local municipalities. Clinton Council has been asked to donate $9,000 in 1986 and another $9,000 in 1987. In the past, the town has contributed $5,000 to $6,000 for CPH projects, but government grants have been recently cutback. "What the government use to give two- thirds of funding to, they now only give half, and we're probably very fortunate to get that," commented Dr. Steed. Speaking from past personal experience, Councilor Gord Gerrits said, "The town would be well advised to spend the money in this area and cut in other areas." Mayor John Balfour told the hospital representatives, "Council realizes the im- portance of the project, but we can't give you an answer on the spot." The decision on whether to grant the money to the hospital will be made when the budget is discussed in a few weeks. Playhouse Dave Shepherd of the Huron Country Playhouse was also on hand to request a donation from council. "I've written to the council for the past five years and I thought it was time for a visit," he said, adding that Clinton has not have to wait until budget is considered donated in the past. The amount of money the Playhouse receives from the government is Influenced by the amount donated from local municipalities. In the past, four-fifths of the theatre's $175,000 budget has been raised through ticket sales. The remaining fifth is raised by municipal fund raising. Mr. Shepherd was told he would receive an answer when the budget was beirg con- sidered. CHSS Music Club A letter was received from Aileen Craig who was writing on behalf of the Central Huron Secondary School's I CHSS ► Music Club. The letter stated the club was planning a trip to Washington in May where they will perform at several functions. "For this oc- casion we would like to see them outfitted in professional looking new uniforms. With this in mind, we would greatly apprecieate your consideration in making a donation to help defray the cost of these outfits," she wrote. More details on the cost of the uniforms and the fund raising already carried out by the school is required by council before they can make a definite decision. Classv Crowd discusses how to be delegates By Jennifer Flynn The Holmesville I Classy Crowd met on Monday Mar. 17 at the Holmesville Hall. There were 15 present and four boys were late. The group was asked "How we could be good delegates ' to the 4-H Rally." They discussed now they would reply to the in- vitation 1 if they got one 1, what they would wear;'how to pack their suitcases efficiently and what to bring according to the Activities and Climate. Surprising as it may seem, people never pack according to the length of time they stay, as one should be able to mix-and- matnh ,, rinna things. Then they discussed who to tip at a really posh hotel. Being or having a houseguest was next. They were given 10 situations and 10 possi- ble answers or thing to do all mixed up. I liked this one. If your houseguest likes to look through the medicine cabinet you ... fill it with marbles that will fall out when the door is opened! ! Imagine their surpise! How to appreciate your host/hostess was talked over. You are now entering the Etiquette Zone.
