Synopsis Mrs. Stancliffe's Rose Cot- tage Bed & Breakfast has been successful for many years. Her older female guests return year after year, perhaps to experience romance with her elderly, silver-tongued neighbour Bud "Bud the Stud" Davis. Mrs. Stancliffe's other neighbor, and would-be suitor, is Henry Mitchell, a retired chemist who has developed a blue pill called "Venusia" to increase the libido of menopausal women. Add to the guest list three older women: Victoria Ambrose, a romance novel- ist whose personal life lacks romance; Hillary Hudson, a friend of Henry's who has agreed to test the Venusia; and Charmaine Beauregard, a "Southern Belle" whose libido does not need to be increased! Bud gets his hands on some Venusia pills and the fun begins as he attempts to seduce ALL THREE women! But the women get their revenge, with unexpected (and hilari- ous!) results. When the may- hem settles down, all the women find their lives mov- ing in new and surprising directions.

GBHC asks Kincardine, Huron-kinloss to split $440,000 report costs in hospital rehabilitation plan Darryl Coote Reporter The Municipality of Kin- cardine and the Township of Huron -Kinloss have both agreed to financially support the South Bruce Grey Health Centre (SGBHC) as it tries to secure government funding to rehabilitate the Kincar- dine hospital. Paul Rosebush, CEO and president of the SBGHC, told both councils last week that the centre has applied for $10 million in funding from the province's Hospital Infrastructure Renewal Fund. However, the provincial government has asked for several reports and assess- ments that amount to $440,000 before it makes its decision. The centre has already begun compiling the reports the government has requested, he said. "It is an expensive propo- sition when you look at it," Rosebush said before Kincardine council April 6, "but if this is the information the ministry needs to make a decision we are excited to give them this." The SBGHC has been planning to renovate the Kincardine hospital since 2003 and it officially applied for government funding in 2005. It received pre -approval for $750,000 in 2007, but the plan was scrapped in November 2011 following the provincial general election. The refurbished plan calls for improved design for patient flow, a better layout, new floors, improved air conditioning and heating, among other improvements -- it'll essen- tially be a new hospital, Rosebush said. The SGBHC is also looking for assistance from the Kin- cardine hospital's charity foundation, the Kincardine and Community Health Care Foundation. Rosebush asked Huron -Kinloss at its council meeting April 4 for half of the $440,000 with he hopes Kincardine would match. "We're open to any kind of support," he said. Though there is no guar- antee of financial support from the government the SBGHC is optimistic. "We are getting kind of excited at the hospital," Rosebush said, "because we can see the finish line now:' Both councils said they would discuss between themselves on how to proceed. If the councils and the charity foundation are una- ble to make the entire $440,000, the remained will be have to come from the centre's operating budget, he said. Coun. Jim Hanna of Huron -Kinloss council said, "We believe this is the right thing to do. I applaud you and we will see what we can do." From Kincardine council New Helm lockers for Ripley fire hall Darryl Coote Reporter Huron -Kinloss council approved April 4 for Ripley - Huron Fire Chief Christo- pher Cleave to purchase 24 lockers for the Ripley fire hall. The lockers will costs $11,017.50. A total $12,000 had previously been allo- cated in the 2016 budget for this purchase. When the request was submitted in February, the fire department had con- tacted three local busi- nesses, two of which were unable to fill the order due to prior customer commitments. Lucknow's Helm Welding indicated interest in the deal and through further conversations with them Fire Chief Cleave learned that the company already had assembled a set of lock- ers for a different client who had backed out of the purchase. "Fortunately ... they already have them built and ready to go -- not for us, for someone else who had backed out on them," said Fire Chief Cleave, adding that they will "suit our needs." The only thing they will need, he said, is a coat of red Coun. Randy Roppel com- mended Rosebush for "air- ing the laundry out" and said if something isn't done soon the hospital will deteriorate to being "a first aid box with door knobs." The refurbishment pro- ject, Rosebush told Coun. Roppel, will last the commu- nity 20 years. Kincardine Mayor Anne Eadie put the council's sup- port behind the project. "Our municipality deserves this," she said. The SBGHC plan to have the technical building assessment, the designated substance and hazardous materials report, the quality surveyor survey and the technical and architectural drawings finished for sub- mission by July. Rosebush said he antici- pates to hear back from the province about the funding by November. "That is closest thing to a finish line I've seen since I've come here as a CEO [in 20121;' he said. paint to match those already there. He added it was the deal was fortuitous because there is no telling how long it would have taken otherwise to procure the lockers needed by the fire hall. Helm Welding had also manufactured the Lucknow fire hall's lockers, Fire Chief Cleave said. Each locker had a price tag of $374.
