Naturopathic Doctors have extensive training in primary healthcare and natural medicines and she is hoping to increase accessibility to primary healthcare services, which can be limited in rural underservices areas. NDs are able to treat a variety of acute and chronic conditions using natural therapies that work to support the natural physiological processes in the body. Rosanna has had experience treating numerous conditions from colds and flus to women’s health to supporting patients while they receive conventional cancer treatment (chemotherapy and radiation). NDs also place a significant focus on the prevention of diseases, and are helpful for prevention of many chronic conditions including diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease to name a few. Overall, Rosanna works very closely with each patient to set and achieve individual health goals using natural therapies, which can include acupuncture, nutritional changes, lifestyle changes, botanical medicine, nutrient supplementation and homeopathy. Rosanna is thankful for her experiences with HealthKick and is looking forward to giving back to a community that has already provided her with exceptional local youth opportunities in a rural area. Grobbink looks to give back to Huron Continued from page 9 co-ordinator at the BIA’s April meeting is an e-newsletter service for the BIA organization to not only communicate with its members, but beyond. “We’ve looked at two options,” Scott said, one paid and the other free. She explained that the free one doesn’t have the same options as the paid one, or the support provided, but said it would do the job if the BIA decided to go that direction. The idea was met with mixed responses with Treasurer Gary van Leeuwen suggesting only proceeding if the e-mails provided new information, like profiles of businesses or BIA members. He compared to other mailers that he deletes as soon as he receives them. Others said they liked the idea of being able to communicate with the group. No decision was reached regarding the idea. *** During the BIA’s March 4 meeting, North Huron Township Economic Development Officer Connie Goodall congratulated recently-appointed BIA Board Member Genny Smith on her inclusion at the Inspiring Women of Huron event. The event was hosted by the Huron Women’s Shelter and YMCA, both in Goderich. Smith operates Huron Adventures, and was nominated to be on the board during the BIA’s annual general meeting last month and later officially named to the board. Goodall said North Huron was well-represented at the event with at least five of the 22 recipients being from the municipality. *** Rick Elliott, who was named chair of the BIA during its March 4 meeting, is seeking a local business to operate the speaker system on Blyth’s main street, however there are still some issues to be figured out. Elliott explained the sound system is now accessible by any computer with internet access with the log-in information, however he is still looking at legal ramifications of playing music publically. The BIA’s North Huron Council Representative Bill Knott stated he was looking to see if the BIA could piggyback on the Blyth and District Community Centre’s Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN) licence to play the music publically. Until that situation is resolved, the speaker system will remain silent with the exception of royalty-free Christmas music. However, Elliott said he is still seeking someone to run the system. BIA looks at e-mail newsletter options Panovski hires lawyer for trial After some waffling, the man accused of one count of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder in connection with a September shooting at the Hullett Wildlife Conservation Area has hired a lawyer for his upcoming trial. Seventy-year-old Boris Panovski was in Goderich court on March 12 by way of video. It was during this appearance that the court learned that Panovski has now re-hired Toronto-based lawyer Bob Richardson to represent him. Richardson was initially brought on in December to represent Panovski, but last month Panovski told the court that he wasn’t happy with his lawyer and didn’t want to waste money on representation. After initially making that decision, Panovski told the court, through a Macedonian interpreter, that he was not guilty of the charges levelled against him and that he would represent himself. The judge in the case indicated that Panovski representing himself would be a bad idea and strongly encouraged him to hire a lawyer. Panovski is charged with the murder of 70-year-old Don Frigo and the attempted murder of Frigo’s wife Eva Willer. The incident resulted in the several-days-long closure of the Hullett Wildlife Conservation Area and an extensive OPP investigation that began just south of Londesborough and ended at Toronto’s Pearson Airport where Panovski was arrested upon attempting to re-enter Canada.
