The roll call was "Do you know thenames of any traditional quilt designs?" All knew what their special projects were going to be and the leaders demonstrated finishing tech- niques such as potholders, borders for the quilted sam- ples, making loops and pic- ture frames. They combined two meetings with a quiz on famous quilt blocks and a mixed bag game. The leaders announced the next club will be the garden club and will be starting in April. The meeting closed with the 4-H motto. Council gives its approval to nursing home expansion Turnberry Township council wholeheart- edly supports a proposed expansion project at the Brookhaven Nursing Home and will send a letter of endorsement to the Ontario Ministry of Health. Mac MacGowan, owner of the nursing home, attended Monday evening's meeting, of council to ask its consent for the project and to go over the proposed changes with council members. • Those changes include adding 10 beds to the 35 -bed home, enlarging its dining room area and adding another living room. The new portion would b& located on the south- east side of the present structure, facing Highway 4. The council members said they are in complete agreement with the plans to ex- pand the nursing home and will petition the ministry. "We certainly can use the beds," said Councillor Joan Wright. In other business, council adopted its preliminary budget for 1984. Clerk - Treasurer Dorothy Kelly said she kept the budget increase to five per cent right across the board. According to Mrs. Kelly's calculations, Turnberry Township will have expenditures this year of $668,785. Of that amount, $167,156 will have to be raised through taxation of the township ratepayers. The remaining $501,624 will be derived from government grants, subsidies and rebates. • Members said they are satisfied with the budget increase, althought although the final tax hike will not be known until the county and school board., requisitions are disclosed -next month. "It's hard for the township to budget for al per cent (the township's portion) of the tax bill," said Deputy Reeve Doug Fortune. Reeve Brian McBurney said if proposed changes are made to the province's un- conditional grant system, the township could lose 550,000 in grants and that money would have to be made up somewhere. Coun'il discussed- putting more money into reserves for the Wingham fire hall project, a new waste disposal site and the working capital reserve, but finally decided to leave the budget untouched. "You can't budget too much for things that might happen in the future," said Mr. Fortune. Council ordered 1,000 pins with the town- ship logo on them for a bicentennial project. The next meeting of Turnberry council is scheduled for March 8 at 710 p.m. at the municipal office at Bluevale.
