At the Branch Brussels Legion congratulates grandparents By Jo-Ann McDonald How about some good news to start today? On early Thursday morning, John and Julie Harrison received the happy news of a new granddaughter. Proud parents, Comrades Jason and Patti Vander Meer welcomed Julia Lynn into their lives and brother Tyler isn't quite sure what all the fuss is about. Congratulations to all. Last Wednesday was a big day at the Brussels Legion Branch. A finan- cial seminar was being held there and over 130 people attended. They- enjoyed a roast beef dinner by the Ladies Auxiliary and friends and all Grey Central Echo comments were positive on the day. Friday night's supper of meatloaf was enjoyed by all. The special treats of Haggis, compliments of Comrades Charlie and Grace Proctor, had many comments about it. It was served steamed in a slow cooker and was tried by everyone. Some people liked it very much, oth- ers not at all and some weren't quite sure. ,My thanks to the Proctors for their generosity and efforts for the Branch. Scottish music entertained the din- ers as well. This week is beef stew. Saturday was a quiet day around the Branch in the afternoon as 16 people were away to the Exeter Branch to play euchre. Comrades participating were John Wright, Jim Alton, Helen Brenie, Lloyd Glanville, Eric Ross, Norm Dobson, Bob and Margo Richardson, Jim Brown, Sandra Josling, John and Julie Harrison, Gary Pipe, Greg Wilson , and Rick and Jo-Ann McDonald. It seems that all had fun but not enough luck to advance to District level. Saturday night was lively as the Robbie Burns dance was held. Ken Scott's Orchestra was the music enjoyed by all, but the special treat was the music of the pipe band. The combined members of the Brussels and Listowel pipe bands performed twice during the evening. They fin- ished the second show with a won- derful rendition of Amazing Grace that was fantastic to hear. Thanks to all the visiting members from Listowel who added to the evening's performance, and our own pipe band members and friends. The Brussels PeeWee hockey team, which the Legion helps sup- port, took part in the International Silver Stick tournament in Forest.

Kindergarten registration is going By Jim Brown Wingham Advance-Times The Wingham and District Hospital is getting ready for the accreditation team. Site Administrator and Vice- President Margret Comack told the January meeting of the Wingham and District Hospital board the accreditation survey for the hospital will take place Feb. 4. Surveyors will be on-site to meet with the clinical teams and to tour the hospital. She indicated a schedule has been designed for the integrated teams from all four sites to meet as a group with the surveyors: This means that human resource, information man- agement, environment and the lead- ership and partnership teams will have representatives from all four sites in the interviews. There are also two meetings with community stakeholders and a client-focused group scheduled. The accreditation standards documents have been completed as a single doc- ument for these teams. Rehabilitation centre clinical leader Pat Pietrek explained each site was asked to set up a meeting with the community focus group. Nelson Underwood applied to council to have zoning on Lot 13, Conc. 10, Turnberry changed from general agricultural to agricultural small holding and general agricul- ture-special provisions. The special provision would prohibit livestock in the existing barn. Greta DeVos requested a change on her property at Lot 25 and 26, Conc.1,.Turnberry from general agri- culture and natural environment to agricultural small holding and natu- ral environment. Both applications were supported by the county planning department. As no comments were received from other sources council authorized the on all week at Grey.

Board chairman Judith Gaunt will be in Stratford on Feb. 6. However, human resources will be done in Seaforth. Comack said the surveyor will visit each site. The visit includes a tour of major areas and an interview With selected clinical teams. Pietrek said the surveyors will also review charts and interview selected patients, meet with in-patient and out-patient care teams and conduct one Huron Perth Hospitals Partnership integrated team inter- view with the information manage- ment team while they are on-site. She added there will be an oppor- tunity for the leaders to meet the sur- veyors in the morning and for an evaluation of the experience at the end of the day. Comack noted the leadership and partnership team will include each board chairman, the executive lead- ership team of the HPHP and some of the regional leaders. Pietrek said the accreditation process utilizes the expertise and experience of many staff, affiliates and volunteers. "Our teams report that they feel changes. The third rezoning request was more contentious and although the county planning department was supportive several area residents had questions and objections. The property in question was 696 Josephine St., N. It is currently zoned as village commercial-high- way, but due to previous rules, a house which is now a non-conform- ing use, is allowed on the property. Cindy Clark, the proposed pur- chaser, wished to have the zoning clarified. She requested that the zon- ing be changed to village commer- cial-highway-special provisions. This would recognize the house as well prepared and confident about the upcoming interviews," she stat- ed. OPERATING PLAN Comack said the operating plan for 2002-2003 has been completed as directed by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. "We have based the plan with the assumption that there will be no increase to the base budget from last year," she. stated. "We expect that there will be funding announcements following the submission deadline of Feb. 1. We also expect that the approval of our budget for 2002- 2003 may not occur until late spring." LAB SERVICES According to Comack, the plan for integrating microbiology services in Huron and Perth is proceeding with planned implementation over the next six months. She noted the restructuring is being done across the province., The service is being consolidated at one site in the partnership. "We are also planning to purchase and install a lab information system in the next six months that will sup- port the communication and report- ing of lab information between the Wingham and Stratford hospitals," stated Comack. changes permitted and allow a truck trans- portation terminal and repair estab- lishment.
