see an area of land rezoned to
extractive industrial from en-
vironmentally protected and
agriculture. Rezoning would,
allow Robin Goad to go ahead

operation.
Opposition to the amendment
was based on incorrect mapping
of the property which fails to
address environmektally
protected land.

Whittle down DHC list;
dissolve committees
BY ANDY BADER
The Huron -Perth District Health
Council (DHC) is one step closer to
reality after 20 names were sub-
mitted to the Ministry of Health for
approval.
After one year of extensive
behind -the -scenes work, and
approximately 90 interested people
wishing to sit on the new DHC, the
final list was whittled down and
approved by the joint Huron -Perth
Steering Committee last Wednesday
night at the Mitchell Town Hall.
Huron Steering Committee Chair-
man Paul Carroll said the release of
those 20 individuals chosen --and .
accepted --by the provincial ministry
could happen' as early as six weeks.
The joint committeedecided ,not
to release the names of those sub-
mitted until officially approved.
Carroll said 35 people from
Huron were accepted' as viable
. applicants for the new DHC. Perth
Steering Committee Chairman Jeff
Wilbee said 54 applications were
accepted and considered from their
county.
"This was probably the most
difficult challenge in all the work
that was done," Carmll said.
"There will certainly be some
disappointed people, but it was an
arduous task," Wilbee added.
The DHC membership will have
40 per cent health providers (four
members), 40 per cent health con-
sumers (four) and 20 per . cent
municipal government 'representa-
tion (two) from each county, or an -
even 10-10 split of members from
Huron and Perth.
Once approved by the Ministry of
Health, the Huron -Perth DHC will
be the last region to have a formal
district health council in Ontario.
The Huron IHC Steering Com-
mittee was formed in December of
1992, when Carroll was appointed
chairman. Perth' formation fol-
lowed shortly thereafter, and the
two agreed to amalgamate in Octo-
ber. Their fust joint meeting was
held in November.
Both Carroll and Wilbee gave
closing remarks of thanks before
the joint committee and the two
steering committees were dissolved,
each. praising the dedication and
hard work of all the comtnittee
members.
Lobbying for DHC office
•
is now underway
Now that the 20` members of
the Huron -Perth District Health
Council have been finalized, and
awaiting the approval of ,the
Ministry of Health, the "lobby-
ing will commence" to house
the DHC headquarters.
Paul Caroli Huron Steering'
Committee caairman, said he's
sure every municipality from,
Goderich's Lake Huron
shoreline to the east side of
Perth will' actively seek out the
headquarters.
"I'm not sure it makes a damn
bit of difference," he said during
their final joint meeting, noting.
that the new .DHC members
themselves will decide on the
location:
Carroll was responding tc '
comment made by Kathy Rae;
of Stratford, who. wanted to
make an amendment to the joint
Geographic/Boundary
'Committee's recommendation
that the DHC office be located
on the Highway 8 corridor in
the Seaforth-Mitchell area (with
preference, identified as Perth
County).
Rae, a city alderman, wanted
to make it known in the final
• report to the' Ministry that there
was no active membership from
Stratford or St, Marys on the
committee, since she and Bernie
Schmidt, administrator of the
Stratford '. General Hospital,
couldn't attend the meetings due
to other commitments:
Her request for the amend-
ment was refused.
The City of Stratford, the
'gown of Mitchell and , the:
Township of .Hibbert have all
made their interest known to be
the site of the DHC headquar-
ters.
