Gwen Devereaux, Huron FHT board member and Huron East Mayor Joe Seili chat with Maplewood Manor
residents and their families while touring the facility last Friday.
FHT tours Maplewood Manor
From Page 1
having architect
drawings made
to build a facility
for the FHT
near the hospi-
tal, Maplewood
Manor could end
up being the
FHT's new
home.
"It depends on
the money and it
depends on how
quick we can get
going," he said.
"We are pre-
pared to build
but if we don't
have to build,
that would be
great," said
Devereaux.
After touring
the facility,
Devereaux said
Maplewood's
front hallway -
now used as a
lounge - could be
used as the FHT
waiting room
while four to
eight main floor
rooms could be
converted to
examination and
consulting rooms
for family doc-
tors and allied
healthcare pro-
fessionals.
She said it
would be likely
retirement home
residents would
live on the sec-
ond floor of the
building and
possibly in the
four rooms at
the back of the
facility.
"We'd probably
need a lab facili-
ty as well but
this might work
very well," she
said.
One of the
staff members at
Maplewood
responded that
it would be very
helpful for both
the residents
and the staff to
have the FHT
move into the
building.
"It makes good
economic sense
for the town to
support
Maplewood
Manor. The
seniors have
paid into taxes
for years and for
the town, the
development
trust and the
health team to
buy the building
could be a good
thing," she said.
Seili said the
municipality
would not be
contributing
financially to the
building without
a part in the
ownership of the
building.
"We've been
.. there and done
that where we
gave money to
people to reno-
vate a building
and then
wouldn't tell us
how it went and
we won't do it
again," he said,
referring to
Huron East's
contribution of
$100,000 to the
S e a f o r t h
Medical Centre.
When resi-
dents, some of
whom are mov-
ing out this
weekend, asked
how quickly the
change in own-
ership could
o c c u r,
Devereaux said
they couldn't
make any
promises.
"We know
you're down to
eight with more
leaving this
weekend and we
can't blame you -
we understand
the predicament
you're in. We
can't ask you to
stay in hopes
somdthing can
be worked out,"
she said, adding
that there are
probably other
buyers interest-
ed in seeing the
building as well.
She added
they are working
as quickly as
possible to find a
home for the
FHT since the
Ministry of
Health has been
calling asking
how they can
help Seaforth's
team find a facil-
ity.
"All we can tell
you is we appre-
ciate the dilem-
ma of the resi-
dents and want
to keep this
(Maplewood) a
working asset of
the community.
We don't know
our opportunity
to purchase or
rent yet but
you've got our
commitment to
explore it and
move it as quick-
ly as possible,"
added Chris Lee,
a member of the
FHT board.
Devereaux
also said plans
were too prema-

In our previous articles we touched on topics like our professional investrnen
process and our unique approach to investing in mutual funds. Today we would lik;
to briefly share some of our thoughts investir:q in traditinai common shares.
Investing in common shares can take mar/ forms For exdn'ple, many of our client
hold positions in bice -chip companies that ha _ n,riti billion dollar marke
capitalizations. Alternatively, or, c neari; daily basis ire receive ph :me calls from
people inquiring about the future prospects for sm,ali companies and penny stocks.
Whether investing in large -can t i\i': :.r ip `- -' !-'.1'" 's Or sl:C uldtin j on small -caps
the most Important consideration for an,, ,nve.;o' is the IF'vel of risk that they are
taking with their hard earned investrri r.t dollars. Quite Dior; investors only focus
on the potential returns of the compar,io th.:;t rhes art nterested in. To focus
solely on returns without considering r19% > 1 Baps'OOris n'ittake.
What you can expect from Gary Bean So::urities is an evaluation of both the risk
characteristics and return potential of any common share that you are investing in.
Helping us complete this type of ex urination is one of our greatest assets - the
disciplined CPMS analysis program Th s program historically only used by very
large institutional asset managers and mutua' +unos is now a part of the research
facilities at Gary Bean Securities.
CPMS has an outstanding 20 year track record of sorting the good from; the had in
the common share market. We add a sophisticated tool like this to our research
program for one reason only, to try and help our clients make money.
