Huron Expositor, 2001-03-21, Page 3News Scott Hilgendorff photo Ryan Jewitt is now working with the Seaforth Cooperative Children's Centre disinfecting toys. Toy sanitizing, cleaning service being offered by Children's Centre By Scott Hilgendorff Expositor Editor To help prevent .the spread of illnesses, the Seaforth Cooperative Children's Centre is offering a new toy sanitizing service. Working with the Huron Employment Resource Centre and the Partnerships in Employment program, the centre has been able to hire Ryan Jewitt. "We have found by regularly disinfecting toys, it prevents the spread of viruses," said Shirley Brooker, administrator at the centre. Jewitt will be spending three part days a week at the centre cleaning and disinfecting toys. Two days will be spent going through the centre's toys with the hopes of everything being disinfected once every two weeks. Fridays are available for the public to bring toys and have them disinfected for a minimal fee. Brooker is encouraging banks, doctors' offices and other places that make toys available to children, to take advantage of the service. Signs being cut down, 911 signs stolen By Scott Hilgendorff Expositor Editor County road employees are growing concerned about the number of signs being torn down, stolen or damaged on area roads. Most recently, someone took the time to use a handsaw to cut down a county welcome sign and leave it lying on the ground. It was found by Joe Hallahan, a maintenance foreman with Huron County Highways on Monday on County Road 14 near Brodhagen. He's surprised someone would take the time to do damage like that and said it's the third time it's happened. Two more were cut down near Staffa last year. "We've lost a lot of 911 signs in the area last week too," Hallahan said. While 911 signs often have to he replaced because of theft and damage, he said, "It's been quiet all winter just until last week." A neighbour where thc county sign had been cut down told Hallahan he didn't notice anything suspicious and hadn't realized the sign had been cut down. Hallahan is hoping residents will help keep a watch on suspicious actions, record licence plate numbers if they see anything unusual and call thc police. He is concerned the vandals don't realize the danger they cause someone by taking down 911 address numbers or street signs which emergency vehicles use to locate homes in emergencies. LABORATOIRE DR.

"They're so easily spread from one person to another," she said. Individuals can also bring toys from home. The service is available Friday and toys can be dropped off at the centre from 6:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jewitt will be working with them from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and they can be picked up anytime between and 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. that day.
