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."

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.
