Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1985-09-11, Page 15THE HURON EXPOSITOR, SEPTEMBER 11. 1985 -- Al Council to recommend improvements A recommendation to spend $716,000 over three years to make improvements to one wing of Huronview, home for the aged, will be made by the outgoing Huron County council to the new council elected this fall. In a 15 to 14 recorded vote at the September 4 session of county council, it was decided to recommend the $1.4 million project go forward by taking advantage of provincial money being made available for homes for the aged. "I knew it would he close but nest that dose," said Huronview's management com- mittee chairman Marie Hicknell of the recorded vote. McKillop Reeve Hicknell said the proposed project rails for renovations to the 1953 wing of the home for the aged located just south of Clinton on Highway 4. The renovations included more washroom facilities, a kitchen- ette and a nursing station. The two latter items are not present in that wing. The chairman of the Huronview committee said this project being recommended is only half of the work a report earlier this year said it needed at the home. Phase II involves renovations of $1.59 million. The recommendation to proceed with phase one follows the provincial govern- ment's action of putting aside $75 million over the next three years for homes for the aged. For Huronview, this means 50 per cent of the project will be paid for through provincial dollars. Huron County taxpayers will pay the remaining 50 percent of $716,000 over three years. Armstrong seeks warden's chair Leona Armstrong, the 51 -year-old reeve of Grey Township has a life-long goal she wants to reach, hopefully in 1986. She took her second step towards that goal at the September 5 session of Huron County council. Reeve Armstrong is the first member of county council to announce intentions to seek the Huron warden's position for next year. Her first step towards that goal was taken last year. Then she ran against current warden Paul Steckle of Stanley Township as well as Bob Bell of Tuckersmith Township. Brian McBurney of Turnberry Township and Harry Worsell of Goderich. Only Reeve Bell has said he definitely is not seeking the position a . second time. It was a dose race between him and Reeve Steckle. Reeve Armstrong came in third. No other person announced their candi- dacy. Historians to meet in Stanley complex The Stanley History committee will meet on Wednesday, September 18 at 8:00 p.m. at the complex.

Hullett buys a new grader Hullett Township Council received appro- val from the Ontario Municipal Board and the Ministry of Transportation and Communica- tion allowing them to pass a by-law authorizing the purchase of a new road grader with snow removal equipment. Council made the decision to purchase the grader at their August meeting. but had to wait for MTC and OMB approval, which was received at their September 3 meeting. Council accepted the tender of Champion Road Machinery, Goderich and the new equipment will cost $134.285. with the trade-in of their old equipment, a 1969 model • grader.

Approved the following .building permits: R. Archambault. for a beef barn with manure tank; H. Snell, implement shed, subject to township by-laws and Huron County Health Unit approval, where applicable Drugs "Most of you know one of my goals in life is to be the warden of Huron County," said Reeve Armstrong. "I would consider it a great honor." She isn't unfamiliar with the role of warden. Besides having sat on county council under four wardens, her late father was a warden at one time. Her dad, Harvey Johnston reresented Morris Township on county coun serving as warden in 1952. She first started in municipal politics in November of 1974. She was then deputy reeve for three years before being named reeve in 1981 when then Reeve Roy Williamson resigned in, mid-term. The full-time community worker in a horticulture group, her church and women's institute has also served as chairman of the county's planning and development depart- ment. Reeve Armstrong notes Grey Township hasn't had a warden since 1945. As indicated by the recorded vote, not all of county council is in favor of even recommend- ing the project, let alone going ahead and actually doing it. "It's the dollars," said Hullett Township Reeve Tom Cunningham. He noted with farmers getting less than $3 for a bushel of corn it would be tough to convince them their tax dollars have to go up to support Huronview. I live on a farm," said Reeve Hidmell indicating she understood the state of economy for farmers. "I also understand that at times we must reach out. Even in our own business we reach out and make it. I believe we can make this (Huronview project) too," she said. Turnberry Township Reeve Brian McBurn- ey said the timing for this project is not good. Reeve Cunningham agreed, pointing to the museum project, saying both projects at one time would be too much for Huron County taxpayers. "It's not going to get any cheaper," was Brussels Reeve. Cal Krauter's opinion. "This money is there for us now - for our asking. If we say no, Huronview will be on the bottom of the list," said Reeve Hidmell, Those voting in favor of recommending the project to the 1986 council are West W awanosh Reeve J. R. Aitchison, Grey Reeve Leona Armstrong, Ashfield Reeve J.F. Austin, Clinton Reeve Ernest Brown, Sea - forth Reeve William Campbell, Blyth Reeve Tom Cronin, Reeve Hicknell, Hayfield Reeve Dave Johnston, W ingham Reeve Joe Kerr, Brussels Reeve Cal Kreuter, Howick Reeve Jack Stafford, Stanley Township Reeve Paul Steckle, Stephen Township Reeve Alan Walper, and Goderich Reeve Harry Worsell with two votes.

(Continued from page A31 Mr. Elston said the decision to introduce legislation was made after meetings betw"en the ministry and pharmacists and drug manufacturers failed to produce a consensus on how to resolve current drug pricing problems. Mr. Elston also announced that an updated ODB Formulary, with realistic prices effec- tive September 16, will be published and distributed to pharmacies within the next two weeks. Price levels for 53 high volume multiple - source drugs listed in the new Formulary will be based upon and will reflect the best market information available to the ministry. Reflect- ing the rate of inflation, all other drugs will be subject to a maximum increase of two per cent over and above their prices listed in the January, 1985 Formulary.
