Renovations recommended for museum
CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 31, 194—Page 3
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
Renovations of $2.1 million for the Huron
County Pioneer Museum have been recom-
mended to Huron County Council by
Museums Programmes Collaborative, a
museum consulting firm from Toronto.
County council heard the proposal as
presented by architect Christopher Borgal
of Blyth and Bruce County museum curator
Claus Breede of Southampton at its October
session.
The collaboratiVe was commissioned
earlier this year to study the location of the
museum and its operating and management
policies and to project future directions.
County council made no decision at its re-
cent session regarding the museum. It is ex-
pected that the report will be referred to its
agriculture and property committee at a
special meeting on Oct. 11.
Chairman of that committee, Bayfield
Reeve Dave Johnston, said his committee
would have to know the feelings of county
council members regarding the future of the
museum.
He noted the $2.1 million figure is in 1984
dollars. The reeve roughly calculated that
at $500,000 a year oyer four years, the pro-
ject would cost Goderich $55,000 a year and
Exeter $26,000. These estimates were based
on45 per cent of the total cost being covered
by grants.
Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle said a
breakdown of costs per municipality should

Donations to go
toward hospital
equipment
CLINTON - The Alvin Jones Memorial
Fund donations amounted to $1,022.00. The
Clinton Public Hospital is very grateful to
all the friends and relatives who made dona-
tions in memory of Mr. Jones.
The hospital is in the process of purchas-
ing a telemetry unit with the proceeds. This
unit monitors the heart rhythms of patients
by radio waves while they are walking about
within the hospital. This piece of equipment
is very vital to patients who have a .heart
condition. Mr. Jones. had suffered from a
heart condition in the past.
• The John A. Taylor memorial fund dona-
tions amounted to $1,095.00. The friends and
relatives are to be commended for their
generosity and the hospital has purchased
video cassettes for patient use in the
teaching of coping with heart problems at.

be prepared by the agriculture and property
committee and presented to the respective
municipalities. He added that residents
should know the mill increase.
The report does not recommend either
moving the museum or completely
rebuilding it.
"We recommend that the Huron County
Pioneer Museum proceed with option three -
the phased implementation of a plan .M -
eluding the restoration of the Central School
building, the replacement of the additions to
the school, the addition of a service wing,
renovation of the workshop building and the
conservation of the log Cabin," states the
report.
Besides changes in the physical building,
the report suggests a reorganization of the
staff and improvements to the program.
The phased -in renovations start with the
construction of a storage area at the back of
the existing area.
The lack of storage space is one of the ma-
jor failings of the current 42,000 square foot
facility.
Constructing the storage area first, said
Mr. Borgal, will allow a portion of the
displays to be stored while older areas are
under construction. Also, once the building
is completed, the artifacts could be rotated
between storage and display.
Environmental control was another ma-
jor concern noted in the report. Mr. Breede
commented that whatever the weather is
like outside, it's practically the same in the
museum.
Hay Deputy Reeve Tony Bedard wanted
to know how many people had attended the
two public meetings held in the summer_He
was told there was a total of about 160. Mr.
Bedard wanted to know where the people
are who are interested in the museum.
A large crowd anticipated at the county
council session never materialind. The
spectator section was filled with represen-
tatives from two municipal councils, the
ministry of correctional services, members
of the committee which prepared the terms
of reference for the collaborative and a
handful of individuals.
