Clinton News-Record, 1977-10-06, Page 3f CLINTON NEWS RECORD THURSDAY, OCTOBERI6, 1977.. --PAGE 3 injirofik:Kiizettes stronger Charlet member Shirley Kay and charter` treasurer Mary Brown, who belonged to the first Clinton Kinette group in 1952, joined the 1977 Kinettes to celebrate 15 years of service to the community. President Marie Jefferson, convenor Carol Finch and chairman Rhea Jones along with other Kinettes and their husbands celebrated their 25th an- niversary on Saturday night with a banquet and dance at the Sandpiper Inn, Vanastra. (News -Record photo) by Shelley -McPhee In order to keep operations running efficiently, smoothly and in top shape it takes a lot of behind the scenes help. For the past 25 years the Clinton Kinettes have been offering their assistance to others in order to allow many organizations and events to continue. The Kinettes, the women's division of the Kin, live very closely to their motto, "Serving the communities greatest need," and through this, they have given personal, financial supportand pleasure to others and themselves. The Kinettes list of involvement is a long one, and scrapbooks dating back to their 1952 beginning emphasizes this. During the past number of years the Kinettes have served many meals to energetic 'and hungry young hockey players. They have provided refresh- ments for the weary people who have given at blood donor clinics. They have provided activities for girls of Clinjnp by supporting baseball teams and they have brightened up the days of the elderly at Huronview and the patients in the. Clinton Hospital through financial aid for needed equipment and personal enjoyment with magazines, teas, lun- ches and tours. Their'' involvement reaches the youngsters too. The Kinettes support the Brownies, the Clinton Nursery School, and they gave the Children's Aid Society so:ee $200 ' this year to send some children to summer camp. The Kinettes have helped to support the Clinton Figure Skating Club this year with a donation of $500 and made for many er 25yers enjoyable hours of swimming this summer by purchasing a new pool heater for $5,500. The Kihettes support reaches many, not only in Clinton, but throughout Canada and other countries. The group of women support an adopted child in an underprivileged South American country with a $140 donation to the Can Save the Children Fund. In the past, they have gathered thousands of dollars for March of Dimes, the Arthritis Fund, Muscular Dystrophy and recently gave $1,000 to the Cystic Fibrosis fiindl "We don't try to make money," claimed president Marie Jefferson, "we don't need it." The K inettes receive most ' of their money through the refreshment booth they operate at the Clinton Kinsmen Raceway and through an annual dance held in June. Out of the profits from the refreshment booth, the Kinettes take 15 percent of the money for their own general use and the rest is circulated throughout the community. Their profits may be large, but their donations are just as large. Huronview received $1,360 earlier this year for a patient lift. Over the years the Kinettes furnished a sun room at the Clinton Hospital and donated a hemopheliac bed. Their past projects have not only been a success financially, but also socially. For many years the Kinettes showed the people 9f the area the latest styles by putting on fashion shows each year. They've provided floats for parades J4, assisted in yearly Kin barbecues and last year the Kinettes' major interest project was a Kiddies Christmas Mart. The event was so successful that the group plans to put on another mart this year at the Ontario Street United Church, As usual, the proceeds will go to some worthy cause, and this time it will be the children's ward at the hospital. Since its first meeting in October 1952, the Kinettes lave doubled. in me, bership. In 1952 , 11 members began the club, Mary Blown, Irene Buckley, ,Ena r Cook, Pat Grigg, Jean Ianson, Shirley Kay, Phyllis Schoenhals, Lorraine Scott, Betty Sorrell, Evelyn Speight ,and Jean• Colquhoun. ' This year the me,mbership has been set at 20, with two remaining charter, members, Shirley Kay and 'Mary Brown. According to this year's president Marie Jefferson, the success of the club is because, "Everybody works together. Everybody supports each other's idea and it's a co-operative effort." "It's a pleasure working with these girls. It's a fellowship and it's fun," she added. Shirley Kay, who has watched the trials and tribulations of the club through it s years of service said, "They understand what's necessary in the com munity." After all, that's what the Kin motto emphasizes, and through their ac- tivities, which are too numerous to mention, the Kinettes have proven that they have fulfilled this creed and have positively participated in the activities of the area. • Coard of education sets capital expense priorities for two years The Huron County Board of Education made,buses, provision of better facilities for trainable retarded and elementary industrial and home economics facilities ift capital expense priorities for the next two years. The three projects are estimated to cost $755,000 ' when the board actually undertakes them. The two year projection was done by the board at the request of the ministry of education. Each year the ministry asks provincial boards to submit capital forecasts to allow the province to prepare its own capital expenses for the year. The ministry supports each board on capital projects and asks what'those projects are to enable it `to 'earmark necessary funds. John Cochrane, director of educati©n, told the board that the exercise was necessary but probably futile. He said he fully expected the board to say no to the Huron requests just as it said no last year'. -He said he was unable to tell the board what to do but did say that if he was able to he would ask the ministry for' six new buses and funds to update facilities at J. A. D. McCurdy School for Tuckersinith turns down. continued from page 1 Leo Medd of Seaforth at- tended the ' council session regarding complaints about derelict cars on his property in Harpurhey which he recently purchased from Lorne Whittaker. He said he bought the property as an investment and had leased it to David Schenck. Medd said following the /4/complaints about the many cars on the property, most of , which were there when he purchased it, he , was not having much success in having them taken away as all of their value had been stripped. Reeve Siliery noted that, council had had an agreement with Whittaker. that no more than three cars were to be parked outside the building. He told Medd that he should'continue to clean up the place. Medd admitted he would not like to have that many (derelict) cars parked next to his home (in Egmondville). Medd suggested he might be interested in building a house on the property and building a garage behind the house. He was' told by Clerk McLachlan that the area is zoned residential and he' would have to apply to have the area rezoned before he could get a build.ing permit for a garage. In other business council passed a bylaw naming Kenneth Carnochan, Robert McGregor and W. Alexander Hoggarth as livestock and poultry valuators. Building permits were approved for Marton Keyes, granary and addition to shed; Hanli Dorssers, silo; John Oldfield, shed; Fernand Vantyghen, silo; Gordon Henderson, two 'pole ' barns; Ken Moore, tank; , Ralph Postma, addition to house. For snow removal of Vanastra roads council ac- cepted the truck tender from McGregor Farms at $24 per hour and $15 per day standby —INten.lows are not in use. •• the trainable retarded and leave it at that. The move would eliminate one priority for 1978 and five for 1979. Cochrane said that the reasoning for the request was that last year the same requests were made by the -Huron board and the ministry ,replied that the requests would be rejected on the basis that the province was giving priority to additional expenses for more students in growth areas, of the province. Last year the Huron board asked that it be considered for assistance on projects valued at $225,000 in 1977. The The offer of Clerk McLachlan to do the 171 Vanastra water system bills along with his usual work, rather than being paid $3 for each bill, was quickly ac- cepted by council. It was learned by the press representative at the meeting that council hired a building inspector on September 12 at a meeting not covered by the press. 'He is Herman VanWieren of RR 1, Flensall. In future, building permits will cost $5 each for ad- ministrationnfees plus the $15 charge by the building in- spector for each inspection visit to the construction site as follows: house, four in- spection visits; barn - two inspections; ,carport . or garage - two inspections; implement shed - 2 in- spections; mobile home - two inspections; silo' `- one in- spection; granary - one in- spection; manure tank - three inspections; addition to building - four inspections; $30.00 off FOR CAMPING, COTTAGE OR BACK YARD BUILDING...BUY NOW AND SAVE! renovations to industrial building - three inspections; industrial building - five inspections; apartment, building - six inspections. No permit is required for renovations inside ort outside a building costing less than $750. Council was informed by the Ministry of the Environment that to give the Bayfield Boat Works the sprinkler• system it will be necessary to put in a .new section of water main at a cost of $10,000. A suggested cleaning of the water main presently there was discarded as impractical as there is no guarantee it would be effective. The Bayfield Boat Works will be asked to pay part of the cost of this work requested by them to ' lower their insurance rates. money was for three projects, the renovation and updating of a chemistry laboratory at South Huron District High School in Exeter, the provision of more adequate facilities at McCurdy school and the purchase of six replacement buses. Listed in the priorities for 1978 were an instrumental room at Seaforth' District Ramp bylaw lost. continued from page 1 Further discussion and a new motion on the ramps will be made at the next committee of the whole. Councillor. Ernie Brown was appointed to check into the problem concerning the obstruction found in the sewer on Ransford Street. A PUC cleaning crew discovered the obstruction in the sanitary sewer on September 7 and it was to be repaired by the end of September. However no action has been taken on this yet, either by Huron Pines or the PUC. Mayor Lobb noted that this problem must be dealt with soon before the ground freezes. He suggested that, "The PUC may have to go ahead and do -the job and send the bill to Huron Pines." Building permits were issued to Don Jefferson to replace a porch for $4,500 and Sterling Fuels for storage tanks priced at $50,000.. A motion was passed to inform the PUC to proceed with the construction of an eight -inch sanitary sewer on Matilda Street. The sewer will run 235 feet north of the intersection of Matilda and Walker Streets at the estimated cost -of $5,875.. Starts Today In the past, we have added some very exciting yarns from ,France.

Seaforth trustee John Henderson said he was in favor of the upgrading of facilities at McCurdy School and of buying the six buses but added that the board should try to get money for the industrial arts and home economics facilities for the elementary schools. Cochrane told the board that the up- dating of the chemistry lab was not a priority now due to declining enrolment at South Huron. He said the principal of the school said that a moderate im- provement would meet the school needs and expected to ask the board for $3,000 worth ' of work in the 1978 budget. McKillop preparing for... ' continued from page 1 McNab Township ((near Ottawa) asked requesting that the Ministry of Revenue assess a builder one-third of completion value of a house in the year it is built, two-thirds in the second year and full value in the third year to provide that the municipality would recover some of the costs. of providing service to the said properties. Passed for payment were general accounts totalling $45,161.63 and road accounts totalling $15,908.95. William Campbell, . road superin- tendent, said that all the road con- struction work has been completed exceptfor some grading by the township grader. He said the new roof on the shed has been installed. . Mr. Campbell said that to date, no report has been given by the engineering firm of B.M.
