School bd,
gets grant
MPP Paul Klopp announced
recently that Huron County schools
will receive $900,000 in capital
funding as part of Ontario’s anti
recession program. The Ontario
government has approved $1.15
million that will generate an esti
mated 597 person weeks of employ
ment.
Education Minister Marion Boyd
said she was pleased the province
was able to work in partnership
with the Huron County Board of
Education (HCBE) and the Huron-
Perth Separate School Board to
provide a timely boost to the
economy. “These grants will bene
fit the entire community by making
our school buildings better places
to work and learn.’’
Superintendent of Operations for
HCBE Paul Carroll said that the
board had already included two of
the planned projects in the budget
estimates so the local share was
already booked. “You can call it
good planning or good luck, but
this isn’t going to impact the mill
rate estimate,’’ he said.
The really great news, according
to Mr. Carroll was the funding for
the completion of work at Central
Huron Secondary School. A total of
$210,000 has been allocated for the
fire alarm system and the air
control system. The other project to
have been booked into the budget
was for the removal of the balance
of asbestos in some of the schools,
for which there is funding in the
amount of $138,000.
The other projects are for roofing
at Robertson Memorial, Turnberry
Central and Vanastra Public
Schools.
Work to be done in the separate
school system includes roofing at
Sacred Heart in Wingham, and
advanced renovations at St. James
in Seaforth and St. Marys in
Goderich.
Mrs. Boyd said, the projects
were chosen in part because they
could be undertaken this year.
“This funding for schools is part of
a province-wide program that in
volves more than 2,000 projects in
addition to the ones for schools.
Our goal is both to create a
short-term employment and to
meet some of the long-standing
needs for work on the buildings and
other facilities that serve the
public.”
Ontario Treasurer Floyd Laugh-
ren announced the province’s $700
million anti-recession program in
December. As part of this program,
the government will provide fund
ing of more than $91-million for
school projects announced across
Ontario on March 19.

A Review of activities at
SEAFORTH COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
Nutrition Month, March 1991: Huron County Nutrition
Committee members have been conducting the second in a
series of in-store nutrition education sessions. The focus is on
fibre and is aimed at introducing shoppers to high fibre foods
found in their grocery store. Lorraine Devereaux, Director of
Nutrition and Food Services at Seaforth Community Hospital
has been conducting the one hour tours in Seaforth and is
very pleased with the response.
National Physiotherapy Week - March 18-24: In recognition
of this annual event, the physiotherapy department opened
its doors to all hospital staff and invited them to a
“hands-on” demonstration of what the department can do.
Staff underwent several tests to measure flexibility, hard
grip, strength and joint range. Or they tried out a wax bath, a
foot massage, the whirlpool, hot packs or discovered the
feeling of' T.E.N.S. (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve
Stimulation).
What a great way to get acquainted and satisfy a bit of
curiosity at the same time.
Activation News: The Huron Strings once again have given
the pleasure of music to our patients for St. Patrick’s Day.
For Easter we are planning a surprise visit by some “furry
friends”.
