Contribution
“Sailing Ships” by artist Ed Krauter of Ethel is one of three prints Mr. Krauter donated to
Knollcrest Lodge in Milverton as a fundraising venture. A total of 100 prints were donated and
anyone giving a $100 contribution will be given their choice of print. Mr. Krauter’s parents are
residents of Knollcrest and he saw this as a good way to thank the staff for their kindness and
care.
E. Krauter donates prints
at Ethel Hall, Apr. 5
When a loved qne must be
placed Jn a nursing home or
extended care facility, knowing
that they are receiving the best
care makes the situation easier. An
Ethel man recently found a way to
express his gratitude for the kind
ness and service his parents are
being shown by the staff at
Knollcrest Lodge in Milverton.
Artist Ed Krauter, recently do
nated 100 of his prints as a
fundraising venture for Knollcrest.
Any individual or group making a
donation to the facility, will be
given the choice of a Krauter print
as a memento of that generous
contribution. There are three prints
to choose from: “Old Red in the
Snow’’, a winter scene with an old
McCormack tractor pictured; “Sail
ing Ships in Full Regalia”, featur
ing the Marcehssa and the Blue
nose, the original of which is
hanging in the foyer of the Admiral
Hotel at Queen’s Key in Toronto
and a print that tied for third place
in an international printing compe
tition and is named simply
“Wheels”.
A spokesperson from Knollcrest
said they are “just thrilled” by Mr.
Krauter’s generosity. Presently in
the fourth year of a five year
rejuvenation project the funds will
be going to an ambitious project
this year. “We have created an
Alzheimer’s unit for the cognitively
impaired and have done painting,
and papering to give Knollcrest a
’90s look instead of the ’60s” the
spokesperson said. “Now we want
to do proper insulation, install a
two-stage fire alarm and make
improvements on a very out-of-date
lighting system”.
Mr. Krauter said he had thought
of this venture for quite some time
and he said it was the continual
kindness and conscientious care
the staff gives to the residents that
initiated the idea. “Now the suc
cess of the fundraising will depend
on the generosity and kindness of
the people,” Mr. Krauter said.

Hospital
to meet
fire codes
Clinton Public Hospital (CPH) is
well on its way to having finished
refitting to meet new fire codes.
“The refitting was two thirds
funded by the Ministry of Health
and one third was funded by the
hospital.” said CPH Director of
Engineering Services Budd Bell.
“The total sum is $178,477, with
the government supplying
$116,991.”
According to Mr. Bell, the grant
is going to cover the cost of
refitting the hospital to meet the
new fire codes.
“Work began on February 4, and
the refitting is scheduled to be
completed on April 30,” he said.
“The building will meet 100 per
cent fire code when the work is
completed.”
Some of the work being done in
the hospital includes changing door
4 frames and doors with new fire
rated doors, insulation of electronic
door locks and new suspended
ceilings in corridors.
“Installation of four new roofs
has been completed, and they
cover approximately 80 per cent of
the hospital,” said Mr. Bell. “The
dieticians' office was of need of
upgrading and it has been totally
renovated to meet the fire codes.”
BY WANDA MARTIN
On March 23 the Ethel 4H
Horticulture Flower Power Club
held its fifth meeting at Heidi
Menzis.
Barbara Martin then led the club
in a discussion about special uses
of indoor plants such as the Aloe
plant that can be used to relieve
pain from a burn. They also talked
about poisonous plants such as the
Dieffenbachie. It was also interest
ing to learn that the Spider plant
has been proven to act as an air
purifier.
Mrs. Martin then led the club in
a Plant Trivia game to test their
knowledge. The meeting was then
closed and the members got ready
to go to Brickman’s Nursery.
When they arrived there a guide
took them on a tour of the
greenhouses. He explained the
history of many different kinds of
plants, including banana trees,
cacti and outdoor plants. They also
enjoyed seeing the swans and
peacocks and the goldfish ponds in
the green house. This visit was a
real learning experience. The
achievement night will be held on
April 5 at the Ethel Hall.
