Healthkick Huron getting national
exposure with TV segment
Susan Hundertmark
An agriculture -focussed television show
that airs across Canada has trained its
cameras on Healthkick Huron.
In Seaforth for filming and interviewing
last week, producer Glenn Curtis said
Town and Country - a Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs
television program - is interested in
showing Healthkick as a part of rural
economic development.
"It's a very innovative program and a
model for other communities," he said.
"How to attract healthcare professionals
is something all rural areas are struggling
with and . Healthkick is a really interesting
idea since it builds the infrastructure to
support them," said Curtis.
Healthkick Huron is a six -pronged • two-
and -a -half year $450,000 project, which
was funded both by the province and by
the Seaforth Community Development
Trust.
The project works at encouraging high
school students to consider a healthcare
career, provides experience for youth at
local health facilities, provides nursing
training forthe local workforce, creates
temporary work placements for recent
health graduates, makes the area
attractive to international medical grads
and creates community ambassador teams
to promote the area.
Curtis interviewed Healthkick manager
Laura Overholt, local health professional
recruiter Gwen Devereaux, Seaforth trust
member Maureen Agar and Huron
business corporation manager Paul Nichol.
Filming was also done of the registered
practical nursing program being offered
currently in downtown Seaforth.
Footage of the MedQUEST camp will
also be used in the program.

Brussels
beef plant
continues
search for
fundin
Susan Hundertmark
Unwilling to invest in a project
that will increase the number of
beef processing plants when
existing plants are not working
to capacity, CanAdvance has
turned down a request for
funding from the proposed
Brussels beef plant.
But, the Brussels beef plant
steering committee has not given •
up, Huron East Mayor Joe Seib.
told council at its Sept. 19
meeting.
"They (the federal government)
were looking , at slaughter
capacity not our potential
market but we are going to look
at other sources of revenue.
We're $50,000 short to complete
our study," Seili told council.
"We've got a good, strong
committee that's willing to carry
on. We're not dead and we
haven't lost a dime in this yet,"
he said, adding that pursuing a
successful resolution to the
Brussels beef plant is one of his
reasons for running again for
mayor.
Paul Nichol, manager of the
Huron Business Development
Corporation, said last week he
thinks CanAdvance turned down
the Brussels beef plant's request
for funding because of a change
in government policy and a
change in the market since the
borders are now open •to•'
Canadian beef in the U.S. .
"It's a matter of timing," he
said.
Because the slaughter capacity
has increased from the 80,000
head of cattle a week during the
