"We're doing pretty well," said Traquair of the Hensall build, not- ing that all that's left is the dry wall, parging, siding, soffit and fas- cia and eaves troughs. "The volunteers have been great," he said. Traquair explained that the Hensall Kinsmen have done a lot of the work. The organization bought the lot the house is being built on and donated it. Many members are also professional contractors who have donated time and materials. The house will belong to Jennifer Walker, a single mother of two chil- dren who lives in Zurich. Habitat for Humanity Huron r. County recently received a donation of a Bobcat from the Ozimek family, owners of the Seaforth Manor and Queensway Residence. The Bobcat had. been pur- chased to help with renova- tions and construction at the Manor and the Queensway that are now finished. "We had this great machine and wanted to donate it where it would be put to good use," said Ed Ozimek, presi- dent, Provincial Long Term Care in a release. "We admire Habitat for Humanity's mis- sion and goals, and we are so happy to be able to support such a worthy cause." Habitat will use the Bobcat for landscaping and next year will convert the machine into a forklift to be used in the organization's ReStore.
