"One will be more clinical and one will be more com- munity -driven. They can go in their own directions and it will give back to what each community needs," said Huron -Bruce MPP Carol Mitchell the day after the meeting. With a love for athletics, Tymen DeWeerd, of Seaforth, entered last week's MedQUEST camp leaning towards a job as a team trainer or paramedic. But, after some hands- on time job shadowing a physiother- apist, he's really interested in phys- iotherapy now. The MedQUEST camp, held last week in Seaforth, gave 25 Grades 10 and 11 students from Huron and Perth Counties a close-up look at various medical careers. August, 2006 The inauguration of the Huron Family Health Team (FHT) in Seaforth will be celebrated at a wine and cheese party next Tuesday, Aug. 8. In anticipation of seed money being received from the province later this week, the ad hoc committee that's taken over from the steering com- mittee after the business plan was sent to the province, is hold- ing a celebration and information night about next steps for the FHT in Seaforth. Golfers at Seaforth Golf Club were being asked to be care- ful of a manure spill that had made its way last week into the creek by the fifth and fourth holes. The spill into the Archibald Drain was reported to the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) last Monday, July 24 and clean-up of the spill began the following Thursday evening.

The land being considered - 66 acres of farm land just north of the Seaforth Medical Centre, is owned by the Hospital Trust. Judgement day arrived for Seaforth last Friday, as the town welcomed the judges for the Communities in Bloom competition, and months of hard work put into beautifying the community, was finally put to the test. The judges were given royal treatment upon their arrival in Seaforth - the last of the judges stops - after visits to communities in British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba. While Huron East council decided last August to move the Seaforth- area compost facility from Harpurhey to the Tuckersmith gravel pit on Roman Road, Seaforth Coun. Joe Steffler wants it to remain in Harpurhey. "I think the decision we made is a bad decision, especially for the senior people in town," said Steffler at Huron East's Aug. 22 meeting. A $50,000 provincial grant will help to fund improvements at the Seaforth Medical Centre. Announced at a press conference at the Seaforth Community Hospital on Friday with Huron -Bruce MPP Carol Mitchell in attendance, the grant through the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and Rural Affairs will go towards a pilot pro- ject that includes computer upgrades for patient records, an improved waiting room and long- term asset planning. September, 2006 Seaforth's tourism booth has seen an average of 125 to 175 people for each of the three months it's been open this summer, says economic development officer Ralph Laviolette. "The exercise is going very well. I think Main Street is seeing visitors it wouldn't otherwise have seen (without a tourism booth)," he says. Eighteen years ago, McKillop Township was having a tough time filling the positions on its council and had to extend its nomination deadline by three days.
