Cairn honours House of Refuge graves
By Clint Haggart
Clinton News -Record Staff
About 120 graves behind
Huronview Home for the
Aged have again been
marked with a memorial
cairn.
Late last month, the Stone
Angels, a group dedicated to
restoring the cairn that was
removed, held a ceremony to
honour people buried on the
property in Tuckersmith
Township.
According to Reg
Thompson, the people buried
on the land had no family
plot or were not looked after
administratively.
Huron East Mayor Lin
Steffler was in attendance,
and said she was proud of the
work that the Stone Angels
had done.
Thompson said he would
like to thank the Huron
County Council for being
responsive to the wishes and
needs of the project and for
paying some bills.
The graveyard, which
hasn't been used for 70
years, was a place to bury

of Refuge's graveyard. The Stone Angels, of which Thompson is a member, dedicated the cairn
in a ceremony on Sept. 22.
people who passed away at
the House of Refuge that was
located just east of the
gravesite.
In the dedication,
Thompson thanked all the
people who helped return the
cairn, including local
politicians, service groups,
historical and genealogical
societies and individuals.
Although the cairn is up,
Thompson said there are
more names to add to the
plaques when they are
discovered. "Eventually we
will get them all."
Trees were put in the
ground in 2000, said
Thompson, but some of them
didn't survive. He added that
some landscaping may be
done and if possible a fence
may be put up.
"There were times we
were weary. there were times
we wondered if it was worth
it. If you're a person who
cares, it's worth it," he said
of the project.

In total the county
received 10 submissions in
response to the tender. The
five firms shortlisted were
Allan Avis Architect
$106,500; Gail E. Lamb Inc.
Architect $47,300; dga
Architect/BKL Engineering
$57,300; Thomas E. Brown,
Architect $77,000; Atkins
Architect $72,000 (serviced)
$76,000 (site not serviced).
All prices are exclusive of
taxes.
Invitations were extended
to the above five bidders,
but Allan Avis Architect
declined due to other project
commitments.
The Exeter ambulance
property site was approved
by county council.
The Veri property is the
last vacant serviced
property before the railway
tracks. The parcel is 1.9
acres, of which the county
would need approximately
half an acre since the
property is serviced. The
Veris have indicated that
they expect to receive
$75,000 an acre.
County councillors
carried a motion at their
meeting on September 6, to
purchase the one acre Veri
property for $75,000.
Coun. Paul Klopp,
Bluewater, did not support
the motion he said the
county should be prudent
and not spend that money at
this time.
Ambulance Consultant
concerns raised
Several concerns were
raised by county councillors
about approving a $65,000
expenditure to pay Pomax
Inc., the firm doing
ambulance consultation for
the county, until the end of
the year. The decision was
deferred to the next
committee of the whole
meeting.
When county councillors
approved that Pomax be
retained to finish the
assessment of how
ambulance services have
run in Huron County during
the first year of operation
under county management
councillors asked for a
breakdown of the fees and a
cost estimate.
Pomax initially was hired
to do the original ambulance
study on where to locate
ambulances in the county
and a three-month study on
ambulance services from
January 2001 -March 2001.
After the three-month
study period was completed
county councillors decided
three months of data was
not enough to come to
conclusive decisions.
Councillors asked Jon
Hambides, Pomax Inc. to
put together an estimate of
what he will cost for the
year.
At the county council
meeting on last month,
Pomax's estimate was
reviewed.
They estimate that it will
take 12 hours a week at a
rate of $60 for data base
entry and management.
This was one of the most
contentious parts of the
estimate for Coun. Bernie
MacLellan, Huron East.
who wanted to know why
the county was going to pay
Pomax $60 an hour, or $720
a week, for data entry when
an ambulance manager,
making approximately $40
an hour can do the same job.
MacLennan wanted to
know if the county could
use software from the
province to get the saint
information.
Clerk -administrator Lynn
Murray said the software
that MacLennan was
referring to was not
effective for the information
the county is collecting for
the ambulance study.
MacLennan made it clear
he was not opposed to the
one-year study just opposed
to how the work was being
done.
The other part of the
estimate was for 10 hours of
work at a rate of $110 per
hour, or $1100 a week, to
analyze data, run
information queries and
reports, determine
effectiveness of ambulance
use, assess adequacy of
current ambulance response
strategy, try to make more
effective ambulance
responses based on actual
call data provided by the
paramedics, determine cost
and operational impacts of
using the ambulances in
different ways, correspond
with allied agencies in
reference to ambulance call,
access patient treatment and
write and present to Huron
County administration,
committees and council
reports on findings,
alternate strategies to
deliver services and costs.
Some councillors, such as
Paul Klopp, Bluewater,
think Hambides is doing
more on a day-to-day basis
than he needs to that is over
and above what is needed
for the ambulance study.
Klopp wanted to know
why Hambides was at the
meeting to decide on an
architect for the ambulance
stations for a whole day.
Coun. Rob Morley, South
Huron, also questioned by
Hambides was in attendance
for the day.
"Enough is enough," he
said. "Lets hire Hambides
for another six months then
say thank you and let the
new ambulance manager
take over."
Coun. Carol Mitchell,
Central Huron, didn't agree
with Klopp and said that it
has already been,decided
that the new ambulance
manager would face an
excessive workload if they
were also responsible for
looking after compiling the
data for the ambulance
study in addition to their
day to day duties.
"What docs the data mean
and how docs it apply?
That's why the county needs
a consultant, said Mitchell.
