Londesborough United Church’s annual meeting set
As it was the first gathering of the
Londesborough UCW for 2015, the
program/time of devotion had
resolutions as its theme and was led
by Bev Riley, Dorothy Carter, Erin
Yantzi and Lynda Horbanuik. All the
ladies present that evening drew a
slip of paper from a plate on which
was written one word – joy,
contentment, enthusiasm, helpful,
etc. It was suggested that the ladies
make that one word their resolution
for the year.
A reading suggested that we
should promise ourselves to be
strong, to accept others as they are
and to offer support to those around
us at work, at home, in all situations.
Bible verses, Matthew 7: 1-2,
Galatians 5: 14-15 and Romans 15: 2
instruct persons to accept others for
themselves and not judge. The ladies
prayed for strength in the year ahead
and it was suggested everyone
remember the pleasures in the year
and forget the pain.
Most of the business part of the
meeting had to do with reviewing
various aspects of UCW work –
catering and prices, purchasing a
video screen for the sanctuary,
receiving by donation a new
microwave for the kitchen,
considering the Mission and Service
Fund allocation. A new outreach
idea was presented and accepted.
Lena Nesbitt answered questions
about the financial report she
presented for the year 2014. The
balance on hand as of Dec. 31 was
$3,720.51.
Advance notice was given for
Camp Day at Menesetung, June 8;
Westminster Weekend, May 1-3;
Annual meeting at Brucefield, April
14 and Summer Event at Siloam
United Church, July 18. On Feb. 4,
following coffee and conversation in
the church basement, ladies are
invited to stop by and sew. Aprons to
be worn at caterings are planned for
that day. Many hands make light
work, so bring along a lunch and join
in the fun.
Londesborough United will hold its
annual meeting following the
morning service on Sunday, Feb. 22.
Bring along finger food to share
between the service and the meeting.
In order for Knox United in Auburn to
have its annual meeting on Feb. 15,
Londesborough United will have its
morning service that day at 9:30 a.m.

PEOPLE AROUND
LONDESBORO
NH Family Health Team’s absence in Blyth noted
The North Huron Family Health
Team made a presentation to North
Huron Township council to brief
and refresh, council on its
mandate during council’s Jan. 19
meeting.
“The Family Health Team’s focus
is primary care,” Dr. Angela Hanlon,
the chairperson for the Family
Health Team Board of Directors
explained. “We look at healthcare in
a proactive way instead of a reactive
way.”
Hanlon said Family Health Teams
are a relatively new creation in
Ontario, designed to expand access
not just to care, but comprehensive
care including everything from a
dietician to social services.
“Our vision is to create a healthy
rural community for North Huron,”
she said. “Our mission is to provide
high quality comprehensive primary
care service in a timely manner to
the residents of North Huron.”
The non-profit organization is
funded primarily through the
Ministry of Health with some
donations. It is governed by a
volunteer board including eight
members, two of whom are doctors.
The rest are hospital employees and
local volunteers.
Hanlon explained the group is
currently based out of Wingham,
with satellite offices in Lucknow and
Teeswater. The main office for the
service will be moving into the
former Wingham Public School once
its renovations are complete.
“We’re very excited to join the
hospital at the school,” she said. “We
are looking forward to moving along
with the process.”
One of the major changes being
implemented by the group is the use
of electronic medical records
(EMR) instead of traditional paper
records.
Barbara Major-McEwan, the
executive director of the team,
outlined some of the services the
organization provides including
social work and mental health
services, an oncology nurse
navigator to help patients and
families navigate cancer treatments,
a well woman clinic where “all
aspects of women care” are handled,
dietician services, travel vaccine
assessments, medication review
services, asthma support, diabetes
services, geriatric programs,
cognitive assessment programs and
smoking cessation services.
She then explained that the Family
Health Team handles 11,000
patients.
Councillor Bill Knott wondered
why, if this was the North Huron
Family Health Team, it didn’t have a
presence in Blyth.
Major-McEwan said she wasn’t
sure, while Hanlon said it was likely
a decision when the board came into
being.
Councillor Brock Vodden said the
decision may have been made
because people in Blyth don’t
typically head north for their
medical care.
“Traditionally, most people in
Blyth look to Clinton for their
hospital visits and physicians,
generally speaking,” he said.
Major-McEwan said anyone
within 100 kilometres of one of the
physician offices registered with the
Family Health Team can request to
become a part of the program and
find a local physician.
Hanlon said that through the
Healthcare Connect website,
people can find a doctor and
start benefitting from the
services of the team.
Knott, however, said the program
wasn’t as great as some may believe.
“You can’t use the program
without dropping your existing
doctor,” Knott said, after explaining
his doctor is based in Niagara Falls.
“I’m not going to do that. That won’t
happen in 1,000 years.”
Vodden also said he had some bad
experiences at Wingham Hospital,
especially when dealing with
referrals from other centres.
“The interface I had with
Wingham was not pleasant when
being refered,” he said. “It’s
not a serious problem, it’s just
awkward... I’m very satisfied with
the service in Clinton.”
This problem, according to
Hanlon and Major-McEwan, was
one that needed to be brought up
with the Wingham and General
Hospital’s Board of Directors as the
experiences Vodden spoke of are
under the board’s purview and not
the Family Health Team.
Councillor Trevor Seip, who is on
that board, said more public
awareness needs to be raised around
the difference between the hospital
and the Family Health Team and
said he was very happy to have the
team at the meeting to discuss its
future.

Westerhout asked for a progress
report on the labour market study
associated with the Municipalities of
Central Huron, North Huron and
Morris-Turnberry benefitting from
Munro’s Nobel Prize win in 2013.
Chief Administrative Officer
Peggy Van Mierlo-West said that
three of the five reports associated
with the study have been filed. It is
anticipated that all five of the
expected reports will be filed by
March, she said.
Van Mierlo-West said she could
prepare a report for council on
Parker’s request, as well as on the
status of the labour market study, for
a future meeting.
Councillor Genny Smith asked
council if the municipality should
really consider Parker’s request,
saying that the labour market study
was designed to identify a
strategy regarding Munro and to
eliminate “one-offs” such as Parker’s
request, positive as it might be.
Van Mierlo-West will return to
council with a report on the
subject.
