A smoking survey of restaurants in the county has found restricting smoking can increase business. The survey report was included in the Huron County coun- cil agenda for last week's meeting. Eighty-four restaurants responded to the survey out of 105 surveys distributed for an 80 per cent response rate. The survey asked restaurant operators whether business was better, the same or worse after restrict- ing smoking. The survey found restaurants with more than 75 per centsmoke-free seating were 1.6 times more likely to report ..an increase in business than restaurants with less smoke-free seating. The survey also found entirely smoke-free restau- rants or restaurantswith a completely enclosed smok- ing area were three times more likely to .report an increase. in business. Exeter Reeve Roy Triebner said the survey will be used to encourage restaurants to be smoke-free, to install smoke-free sections or increase smoke-free seating. The survey will be presented to the Ontario Public Health Association Conference in Toronto Nov. 15. • Volunteer tutors needed for literacy/numeracy project EXETER -- The Literacy/Numeracy Project of Huron County wants. you. The project, committed to increasing the reading, writing and math skills of adults and children in the county needs volunteers to work as one-to-one tutors. .` . Funded :by the Avon Maitland District School Board and Human Resources Development Canada, the project will train potential tutors. Student/tutor matches are based on compatible personality types and location and result in con- fidential instruction in reading, writing and numeracy. Hours and location of study are flexible and permit students of all ages to progress at their own pace. An extensive lending library and struc- tured teacher/tutor manu- als and student skill books, optional training/workshops and the support of coordina- tors are beneficial for tutors. There are never as many volunteer tutors as there are people in need. There are now over 100 adults and children in Huron County being tutored by volunteers,.liut there are at least that many on a waiting list. No teaching nor =ozing experience is necessary. If interested call Ann Heeney or Heather Robinet at 482-7948.
