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.

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."

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."
