Greeting at the Blyth United Church Sunday. Sept. 22 were Lois van Vliet and Irma Mason. Guest musicians were Kay and John Roberts. Guest speaker was Pat Milliken. Flowers in the church were placed in memory of Barb Walsh. Pat Milliken welcomed everyone. The first hymn was God Reveals His Presence. Rev. Roberts sang Rock of Ages. The children's hymn was Jesus Bids the Shine. The message to the children was even though Jacob wasn't always good God still loved him. Ms Milliken had been to the international plowing match and had seen the breed of sheep called Jacob's sheep. It reminded her of the story of how Jacob had made a deal with his father that he was to get the sheep with the spots and his father got the rest. Jacob being not too nice made sure that the next year most of the sheep had spots. The lectionary reading, Exodus 16: 2-15 was read by Lloyd Sippel. Scripture reading was Genesis 27: 41-45 and 28: 10-13. The responsive reading was Psalm 126 and the gospel reading was Matthew 5: 1-16. 1111`171 LIO, CLUB "PO 614.3 ire, el ammo/4 (pnifiT r.:5;:A/ty -ii;c4iS and _A liarS AtY/M //PAO; (IMF Hefty contribution Alec Blair, representing the Blyth Lions Club presented Heart and Soul Chair Todd MacDonald with a cheque for $60,000 at the Sept. 21 opening ceremonies for the Blyth and District Community Centre. (Janice Becker phdto) Blyth captures 4th in gateways contest 600(0 WDH committee seeks NH financial support for doctor recruitment By Bonnie Gropp Citizen editor At least one North Huron councillor at the Sept. 16 meeting, took time to look at the bigger picture when asked by Wingham hospital's recruitment committee to financially assist them in their effort of attracting doctors. Verna Steffler and Vice-President Site Administrator Margret Comack, attended the meeting to show the new promotional video for the hospital and community, but also to ask council to consider $500 monthly for an apartment for locum physicians. These doctors are short- term, vacation relief. "The hospital is not funded for these things." said Comack. "This is coming out of the operating budget." She added that currently the hospital receives four per cent of its funding from the government. "We did a review and 10 years ago we actually received more." "Physician recruitment is in the community's best interest." Clerk-Administrator John Stewart questioned where other municipalities outside North Huron from which residents are served by the hospital have been approached for financial assistance. Comack said that North Huron was asked first as it is the municipality in which the hospital is located. However, they do plan to make requests of other municipalities. Councillor Arnold Taylor pointed out, however, that many North Huron-residents use other hospitals. "We have to look at the broader picture." Comack said she felt that with more physicians in the community they would "draw" these people back to Wingham hospital. Taylor, however, explained that many did not go to other hospitals because of a lack of physicians, but rather because of geography. "North Huron has people living in Blyth and East Wawanosh who go to Goderich and Clinton as their physician of choice." Taylor also wondered if by encouraging locums they were discouraging the recruitment of long-term physicians. "It seems to me were are giving more carrots to encourage locums, rather than someone who's going to stay 20-25 years." Comack agreed that this can be a concern, but said the committee has been told the best way to get them is to entice them with a temporary position, "so hopefully getting someone for six months convinces them this is a good place to live their life." Taylor then wondered if three locums would mean more money for housing from council. Comack said, "We'd be happy to have that challenge." The results are in for the Gateways Presentation competition and Blyth captured fourth place for communities with less than 5,000 residents. Sponsored by Hydro One Networks, the Gateways Presentations - Welcome to Our Community contest encourages communities to spruce up the entrance signs and landscaping. Blyth earned 83 points out of 100, placing very well in every category. For signage, Blyth was given 35 out of 40, including 14 out of 15 for maintenance -and nine out of 10 for placement. Overall effectiveness scored a nine out of 10; landscaping, 31 out of 40 and community involvement, eight out of 10. Wingham tied for sixth with 77 points. There were 11 communities in this class.
