Cost of 2nd floor renovations is $576,451, The ministry is providing $380,967 for this project while the hospital's responsibility lies at $195,484. The brickwork, window and roofing project, costs $169,295 of which ministry funding is $109,530 with the hospital picking•up there-. maining $59,765. "We are extremely pleased with the' ministry's two-thirds funding," Engelstad noted. "We couldn't have raised $1 million by ourselves," Ottewell said, adding it would be difficult to raise that much money locally. Ottewell notcd the hospital has. reserve 'funds set up which will coversome of the costs however he is hopeful that the re- maining money will come by.Way of public support in the forrn of private donations and service club donations. • "There will be no door-to-door type cam- paign," he said..

WILL DISRUPT SERVICE Services at the hospital will be disrupted for • the next four ' months due to the renovations. - 4 THE SQUARE GODERICH Phone 524-9484 VISA & MASTERCAR _ FOR PEOPLE 'N HE MOVE "There Will be inconveniences but we hope that the community will bear with us. Our resources will be strained during the' period of construction so we are. going to have to make adjustments with respect to the services. We will try to provide full hospital services as we always have," Engelstad stressed, Gloria Burt, assistant director of nurs- ing, noted almost every area—in the hospital will be affected by the' construction. "There will some bed reductions and a - shuffle of patients in the hospital itself," she,said. Bed capacity in long-term care has been, reduced to 16 from 20,• Four long-term beds have been moved to the first floor. On 2nd East, 10 of the normal 20 beds will be lost during the renovations, as will labour and delivery rooms. There will also be reduced capacity in the emergency area, Burt said, because of the use of one room as a delivery room. • "Patients can expect to wait longer," she said. ' Day care 'surgery will alsobe reduced because the area will be used for an overflow of patients on the first floor.. In ' noting the difficulties encountered during such an extensive renovation pro- cess, both Engelstad and Ottewell are quite confident that there will be little, if any, disruption of .hospital services. However, both men agree that this can on- ly be achieved with the cornrinunity's sup- port and in thismanner,. are asking the community to "bear with us" during the next few months. I{uronb -irards get X2.4 million grants , Nearly $2.4 -Million has been, allocated to the Huron County Board of Eucation and the Huron -Perth Separate School Board as part of a new provincial government capital funding project, 'Jack Riddell, . MPP for Huron -Middlesex recently.. announced on - behalf of Minister of Education" Sean Con- way, Huron -Bruce MPP Murray Elston and Perth MPP Hugh Edighoffer. The Huron County board will receive $805,540 for four projects, while the Huron - Perth Separate Board will receive $1,553,700 for five projects under the 'new $226.4 -million program announced on Wednesday as part of the Ontario govern- ment's throne speech promises. "It shows the government recognizes the education needs of Huron' County and is will- ing' to provide the funding to ensure we con- • tinue to provide the best facilities in On- tario," Mr. Riddell said. ' Mr. Conway said: "Between 1985 and 1987, this government has more than doubt- ed the annual-capital.allocations to school boards. This isproof of the commitment of this' government to' the importance and priority we place on education," • The Huron Board projects include: Cen- tral Huron Secondary. School' in Clinton, $204,000 for, a new roof; P.E. Madill Se -con- , dary School inWingham, $330,0.00 tor new roof ; Huron Centennial .

Forclosure moratorium off Federal Agriculture Minister .lohn Wise has announced a controlled phase-out of the moratorium on foreclosures by Farm Credit Corporation Canada (FCC) effective May 1, 1987. "I want to emphasize that the lifting of the moratorium will not precipitate an im- mediate flood of foreclosures. Recovery ac- tion will only be considered after all alter- natives for remaining in business have been exhausted," Wise said. All FCC clients who were facing recovery action when the moratorium was imposed will be contacted by the Corporation in the Text few weeks so that,their current finan- cial situation can be analysed and the alter- natives discussed. The moratorium was declared on September 17, 1985 so that FCC clients would not be forced to leave their farms while programs to assist them were being developed. • "The Farm Debt Review Boards and the Canadian Rural Transition Program are now providing this much needed assistance," explained Wise. FCC will cooperate fully to ensure that all clients facing recovery' action are presented with the Review Boards and the Rural Tran- sition Program alternatives. Whenever feasible, FCC can also provide long-term leases. It is expected that about 50 FCC clients per month will apply to the Debt Review Boards. If the Boards become overloaded with the cases, legal action against waiting - clients will be halted until those already in= volved in the process have had the oppor- tunity of a review. Additional Board members are being named in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta to facilitate a more efficient review process. The debt review process gives farmers who are insolvent or in financial difficulty access to an impartial review of their situa- tion. The objective is to reach a voluntary agreement between creditors and the farmer to enable potentially viable farm , businesses to continue, or if that is not possi- ble, to liquidate in an orderly manner. The Canadian Rural Transition Program provides financial assistance, job counsell- ing and training for families whose farm businesses are failing. When the moratorium was declared, the Corporation had 670 farms- under recovery action. Since that time, a number of these clients have voluntarily left their farms. . The number of recovery actions that could result from the lifting of the moratorium is impossible to estimate because some of them will be resolved through the Farm Debt Review process.
