Health unit merger idea moving forward 2 Paul Cluff Goderich Signal Star County council's board of health chairman Joe Steffler said he is moving forward with the idea of merging the health units in Huron and Perth. "I chatted with the chair of the board of health in Perth and we both agreed it is something we should be looking at," the Huron East councilor said at the Nov 27 county council meeting. Steffler said the boards of health must first come to an agreement before any further progress can be made. Steffler said both county governments have It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here and that means it's time to offer our best wishes to our neighbours, customers, associates and friends. We appreciate your giving us so much to celebrate this holiday season. 79257 SANCTUARY LINE RR4 CLINTON, ON NOM 1L0 519-233-3423 OR 1 800 387-0811 FAX: 519-233-9190 agreed to discuss the idea. County council has discussed send- ing a letter to their upper tier colleagues in Perth, which may now happen. Said Steffler: "there have been issues in the past month that have put the idea on the backburner. Now we know where we are going, we have an acting Medical Officer of Health (Dr. Nancy Cameron was dismissed from that role by the board of health recently), now we can send off the letter." Steffler said school boards and children's aid societies work in unison in both counties, so there is no reason why health units can't do the same. It won't be a hostile takeover, he emphasized. "Everyone has to agree. We will be friends all the way through this." Driving Holiday Wishes Your Way May Peace, Joy, Hope and Happiness be yours this Christmas season 519-233-5071 Striving to meet your automotive needs Ontario Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk released her annual report Dec. 10, providing a detailed assessment of the damaging impact Liberal policies are having on the province, most notably in energy sector salaries and pen- sions on the public dime. In the report, the Auditor Gen- eral demonstrated that salaries at Ontario Power Generation have jumped by as much as 60 percent, creating further spikes in already sky-high energy prices. "Yesterday's report provided ample evidence that this govern- ment's failed policies are doing T T serious damage to Huron -Bruce and the province as a whole," said Huron -Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson in a Dec. 11 press release. Thomp- son, the PC Critic for the Green Energy Act, said she is outraged at many examples of Liberal over- spending. "While people all over Ontario are struggling to make ends meet, it is an absolute insult that some senior government executives are receiving a $760,000 yearly OPG pension paid by taxpayers," she said. "This blatant disregard for the Ontario taxpayer must stop now." Azh / 'tin yew tid elf reedx t jay Fill your heart with God's Tight, and spread the love of His message to all you meet.
