Clinton doctors have been the first to express interest in the Huron County FHT proposed to be based in Seaforth. Last spring, Seaforth was one of the first 52 family health teams to be approved by the province. Seaforth's proposal aimed to look after orphan patients throughout Huron, starting in Seaforth and eventually creating satellite offices throughout the county. "We were fortunate to be awarded the privilege (of forming a FHT) in the first round and we're attempt- ing to explore it to the fullest. There's been a lot of hard work by a ton of people thus far, all for free," says Rooyakkers. "It's early days and we haven't decided yet," he says, of Clinton joining the FHT. Dr. Maarten Bokhout, site chief at Clinton Public Hospital says looking at joining a FHT with Seaforth is one of several ways being explored to save money in healthcare. "The "underlying issue is a lack of money to keep going the way we have been. I'm not sure it will make any difference to the level of care. All I can say is we're looking at it," he says. Town will replace work stations Five computer work stations, at a cost of $1,760, will be replaced at Huron East's town hall, council agreed at its Feb. 7 meeting. Deputy -Clerk Brad Knight told council the work stations are five and a half to seven years old and are giving staff difficulties. "As stand-alone computers the would work but they're having diffi- culty as part of a network," he said. Knight added that the computers could be used to replace older mod- els at the municipal recreation cen- tres and the daycare. Grey Coun. Mark Beaven suggest- ed the computers be sent to the Vanastra daycare. "I, don't want to put these in the closet. I want to see the kids get some use out of them," he said. Huron East buys service for two generators Huron East council has agreed to pay for a service agreement for its two new generators, located at the municipal office and at the Seaforth arena. The cost for the service agreement for the portable generator at the municipal office is $395 and for the generator at the arena is $625. "It's due diligence to keep them maintained," said Huron East Fire Chief Marty Bedard. By Susan Hundertmark e..a.�.rs.Nearriw..riribs:usr.ntrw.r+.11wswti..asw111s.rM-•..ss4 .**l.
