part in Seaforth's clinic.
Hamilton said when
donations drop, they have to
wonder about the viability of
a clinic but, after concerns
about Seaforth's future, he
looked at its track record
and said the previous four
years had been solid.
"Last year was our lowest
in awhile," he said.
"Everybody has a bad day."
With the long weekend
following the clinic,
Seaforth's is an important

More people are on the roads and there
are usually more accidents with injuries
needing life-saving blood.
Canadian Blood Services has permanent
donation locations in major centres and
regularly holds clinics in communities
across Canada.
Hamilton said the five clinics Canadian
Blood Services holds before and the four
held after a long weekend can make or
break the blood supply because of the
increased demand.

one for
Aggelopoulos said only
three per cent of the
population actually gives
blood.
For Southwestern Ontario,
they are hoping to collect
17,500 units of blood this
summer with o'ne donor
giving one unit of blood.
The area provides blood to
32 hospitals in an arca north
from Windsor to Port Elgin
and cast to Kitchener.
"We're about 70 per cent
of the way there,". said
Aggelopoulos. "We're doing
okay."
She also said one unit of
blood had the potential of
saving four lives.
For the Seaforth clinic, if they reach
their goal of 150 donors, up to, 600 lives
could be saved with that blood supply.
While last year, there were fears this
would be the final clinic for Seaforth,
Hamilton is optimistic the situation will
turn around at this clinic.
"We look forward to a good clinic," said
Hamilton.
The clinic takes place Thursday from 2
p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and then from 5 p.m. to 9
p.m. at the Seaforth and District
Community Centres.

character of a house.
"The first question
someone needs to ask if they
want to restore a house is
why? I'm very rarely doing
pure restoration," he says,
adding that Victorian -era
houses had outhouses and
"terrible" kitchens.
"So, technically, if you
wanted to restore an old
house, you'd have to take the
bathrooms out," he says.
During Victorian times,
houses were very cold and
were never intended to be
heated at 75 degrees
Fahrenheit in the winter.
"People's expectations are
too high sometimes.
Victorian houses don't like to
be sealed up with too much.
insulation since moisture can
get trapped in the walls. And,
they're used to being heated
at no higher than 60 degrees
in the winter time," he says.
But, when he's renovating
an old house, Rutledge says
he tries very hard to keep any
additions sympathetic with
the rest of the house.
"I get the most satisfaction
when someone tells me the
whole house looks original,
that it's never been
renovated. I want the original
house to never be upstaged

or overpowered by the
renovation. he says.
He says the biggest
mistake people make when
renovating or redesigning is
missing the last 10 per cent
of th,e necessary details.
"The last 10 per cent can
make or break a good design
or project. It can be the
difference between a really
successful project and one
that just works and it's
usually about trim or
windows. It's so easy to get
things a little bit askew on
that final 10 per cent," he
says.
As well. he says. people
sometimes concentrate more
on making a house Zook old
than they do on thatching the
house's authentic
architectural style.
"You have to do enough
research to know what you're
doing is done in the style and
manner it used to be. You
can't just make it up," he
says.
