excess nursing funds
Arena closings occupied part
of the discussion time at Huron
County Council's April session on
Thursday, April 29. Now that
arenas and curling rinks have
been brought under the Occupa-
tional Safety Branch of the Minis-
try of Labour • subject to the
Industrial Safety Act, much con-
cern about the structural ade-
quacy of municipal arenas to
withstand heavy Snow loads and
winds has been expressed.
It is understood that some
arenas in Huron County will be
closed unless they are reinforced
according to recommendations of
a consulting engineer which the
municipality must hire at its own
expense. The engineer's report
is to be submitted to the Ministry
of Labor to be analysed.
Some 800 municipalities have
been contacted by the Ministry
recommending that all arenas
within their municipalities
be carefully examined by a
professional engineer to ensure
the arenas meet the requirements
of The National Building Code.
The action was taken after several.
tragedies involving arenas and
curling rinks which collapsed
since 1959.
Reeve Bill Elston pointed out
to council that stricter require-
ments have been written into the
building code since many arenas
were erected. He said that
arenas in many areas just, won't
pass inspection according to the
new building regulations.
"It is a hot issue," said Reeve
Elston.
The Huron Historic Jail Board
has been given approval to
dispose of the stove and other
equipment in the kitchen, and to
use the proceeds to refurnish
the kitchen with equipment of an
earlier era.
Raymond Scotchmer, curator
of the Huron Pioneer Museum,
has been named publicity chair-
man for the 1978 International
Plowing Match. He replaces the
late Gordon McGavin who passed
away recently.
The committee of management
of Huronview has concurred with
a proposal of Metropolitan
Toronto Social Services Depart-
ment that certain trust funds of
residents in homes for the aged
and similar extended care facilit-
ies be made available to the
homes to apply to care costs.
The suggestion has also been
made that 'co -payments under
Extended Care Health Program
be set at a figure equivalent to
Residential Care rates charged in
any municipal Home of the Aged.
Chester Archibald, administra-
tor of Huronview, explained that
residents are allotted $43 per
month as "spending money".
, If this money isn't spent, it
accumulates in a trust fund.
In many cases, persons who are
chronically ill for a long period
and who have no opportunity to
spend the money, either build the
fund to a figure where they
lose part of their old age assist-
ance pension -or the money falls
to the heirs at the death of the
resident.
Mr. Archibald says it is felt
that such money should be
applied to the care of the resident
when it cannot be spent or
utilized by the person for some
private need or want. He said the
committee felt the money should
not be permitted to build up to
the detriment of the resident's
pension -or for that matter provide
"trips to the sunny south" for
survivors, while the taxpayer
subsidizes the care of the resid-
ent.
The residential rate at Huron -
view has been approved at $15.32
per day, effective April 1, 1976
as approved by the Ministry of
Community and Social Services.
Huron County Library has
received $5,000 from Wintario to
be used for strengthening the
Canadiana collection. The board
has authorized an application to
Wintario grants for $3,000 non
Buses cause consternation
"No other half -piece of paper
has caused so much constern-
ation."
Those were the words of
Huron Director of Education
John Cochrane talking about a
report on the distribution of five
surplus buses which have been
retained by the Board.
Trustee Jack Alexander,
a member of the management
committee said there appeared
to be a misunderstanding among
principals that these buses
were to be used for back-up to
regular buses transporting
children to and from school
and not for field trips.
Board members agreed that in
most instances if a bus breaks
down . on a normal run a call
would be put into the home
base and another vehicle sent out
as soon as is was free as has been
the custom in the past.
The five buses in question will
continue to be stationed at
Brookside Public School and
Grey, Howick, Stephen and
Turnberry Central schools.
Director Cochrane commented
on the spare bus situation,
"I doubt if any contractor has a
spare bus. I can't see the necess-
ity for a spare bus sitting around
for an emergency."
Former board chairman
Wilfred Shortreed moved that
the five buses be used for field
trips. Principals now have the
right to send a bus on a field
trip of 50 miles or less without
receiving board approval.
Trustee John Elliott added,
"If the schools want as many
field trips as in the past, the five
buses will not be enough. • We
will have to make sure buses are
available when field trips are
approved."
Later in the meeting a total
of 10 field trips were approved.
Five of the trips were for second-
ary school students and the same
number for elementary pupils.
The Goderich Collegiate
Institute theatre arts group was
in Toronto early this week comp-
eting in a Canadian one act play
competition. Superintendent
Jim Coulter said this gave the
students a chance to perform,
be adjudicated and see other
plays.
On May 13, geography stu-
dents from F.E. Madill in Wing -
ham will travel to Toronto by
bus to study a structured walking
tour, land use mapping, traffic
flow charts, urban renewal
schemes, harbour study and
ethnic studies.
The other secondary school
trips are for students at South
Huron District High School.
Geography students will be
travelling to the Noelville-
Dokis Indian Reserve on May 14
on an intercultural visitation to
promote better understanding
of the problems and customs of
the Indians.
The senior outers group will
be practising canoeing and
camping learned throughout the
year along the Saugeen river in
the Walkerton and Southampton
areas.
A trip to Quebec City is plan-
ned May 26 for South Huron
French students to make them
aware of the reality of the French
fact in their country and to show
them the French language in
action in everyday situations.
Holmesville public school
students will be spending May 19
to 21' at Camp Sylvan, near
Parkhill. Students from Zurich
public school will be travelling to
Toronto for a two day trip to
provide enrichment related
to geography, history and science
to broaden the student's exper-
mental background and apprec-
iation of the environment.
Brookside students will be
going to Camp Memesetung near
Goderich on May 25 for outdoor
education and Brussels students
will go to the same camp on
June 10.
Trustee John Elliott moved
approval of the trips saying,
"they arc of little cost to the
board."
debated
capital grant for shelving and
small equipment.
Two Experience '76 students to
work on behalf of the library in
vacation camps in Huron for 10
weeks have been approved.
Salaries are paid by the province;
the county provides transporta-
tion costs to the camps.
A similar program proved
successful in 1975, reported Tom
MacMillan, chairman of the
library board.
