T:iirn[.rry Twp. contract for job Turnberry council has awarded the contract for the loading, hauling and placing of granular C gravel on the tenth concession to John Cox Excavating Ltd., a township firm, for $24,200. The Cox tender was the lowest of the six received. Reeve Brian McBurney commented at last Tuesday night's council meeting on how close the tenders ac- tually were: from Cox's $24,200 bid to, $28,020, with four others in between. The job is to be completed by June 18 and council said Mr. Cox could start immediately. Still with tenders, the contact for installing guard rails at the Eadie Bridge was awarded to a Thorndale firm, John Voisin Con- struction Ltd., for $7,263.14. But Engineer Ken Dunn of B. M. Ross and Associates of Goderich advised council in a letter that additional railing should be installed at the site to ensure optimum safety. Council heeded Mr. Dunn's advice, which will increase the contract price to $7,895.40. Council members ex- pressed surprise at how low the tender, price for guide rails was since council budgeted $14,000 for the job. However, Clerk -Treasurer Dorothy Kelly cautioned that engineering fees were in- cluded in the budget estimate as well. The problem of people dumping along township roads, particularly the road to the Turnberry dump, was discussed at the meeting. Deputy Reeve Doug Fortune said the only thing council can do is try and find out who is doing the dumping and give them a stern warning or a fine. Mrs. Kelly suggested asking people to phone the municipal office or tell Road Superintendent Ross Nicholson if they catch anyone dumping on township roads and added there is a $50 fine for littering. Mr. McBurney suggested placing an ad in the newspaper to remind residents, and others, of the fine. Mrs. Kelly informed council that she had received the county levy for 1983. The 'amount is up only slightly from last year. Turnberry Township will be expected to raise $75,841 for county purposes this year, up just over four per cent from 1982. Turnberry Township will continue its dealings with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in Wingham, even though council mem- bers are not happy with the The Wingham Advance -Times, April 27, 1983—Page 11 until awar n1(I'hii e bank's 65 cent surcharge on tax bills. Councillor Randy Scott said he felt that with the amount of business the township generates at the bank, it should absorb the surcharge itself. After some discussion, members decided to stick with the Bank of Commerce since none of the other banks which replied to Mrs. Kelly's inquiry could offer a' better package. Replies were received from the Royal Bank, Standard Trust and the Bank of Montreal. However, the ratepayers who choose to pay their taxes at the bank will have to bear the surcharge burden themselves, council decided. Reeve McBurney reported he had been approached by a MRS LEWIS STONEHOUSE S member of the Bluevale Women's Institute, asking if council could install street signs in the village of Bluevale. He reported the signs range from $150 to $180 apiece. Members said they felt that was • too much money to pay for signs and suggested it would be a good project for some community group. A petition from Wendell Stamper and John Mundell to deepen the north branch of the Bolt Drain was accepted by council and Art Clark of Maitland Engineering of Wingham was engaged to do the preliminary report. The next meeting of Turnberry council is scheduled for May 3 at the municipal office in Bluevale.

Marie, Sunday to Tuesday of The VON nurse: Part of a health care team By Cathy Walker Mrs. J. is an elderly widow. She lives alone and is proud of her independence. However, that independence is threatened by the development of an ulcer on her leg requiring daily nursing care and, although Mrs. J. feels well, hospitalization seems to be her only alternative. Mr. R. is a middle-aged man who is in the last stages of terminal cancer. His dearest wish is to leave the large, urban hospital where he is currently a patient and return to his family and rural home. His wife wants to have her husband at home, but feelsover- whelmed by the care he will require. Both these situations present a similar. problem: an individual or ,family requires the services of a professional nurse in the home. It was in response to this need that the Victorian Order of Nurses established a branch in Huron County 10 years ago and, as the trend toward providing health care in a community setting grows, the VON con- tinues to be in the forefront. Specific areas in which the VON is ac- tively involved .incl'ude post-surgical care, diabetic teaching, enterostomal teaching, pre and post -natal care, especially early discharge of the mother and baby after de- livery, and. of course, care of the terminally The VON nurse does more than provide physical care such as changing a dressing or giving an injection. She teaches the patient and family how to perform such functions and instructs them in the prevention of future health problems. Her objective is to increase the family's independence to the point where her assistance is no longer required. As well, since illness in the home can be extremely stressful for everyone concerned, the VON nurse provides emotional support and helps them to cope more effectively with the situation. The Victorian Order of Nurses is a non- profit agency and the cost of a visit is based solely on an average cost per visit, calculated annually. A patient may qualify for OHIP coverage under the Home Care program or may have private insurance; if he must pay directly, the VON will charge him according to his ability to pay. Together with the family doctor and often with the physiotherapist, occupational therapist or homemaker provided by Home Care, the VON functions as part of a team that aims to provide quality health care to both the patient and family in the home. 14-0 last week.
