LACAC to get owners' approval
On Monday evening,
Reeve Fellows, Councillors
Johnson, Wilson and
Pemberton met with the
representatives of the newly
formed L.A.C.A.C. 'Com-
mittee. Mrs. Arlene Kok,
Alec Shevchuk were present
on behalf of the business
community, and Joe Beechie
and Mrs. Peg Willock
represented the Ratepayers
Association.
Although a previous
Council had approved the
idea in principle matters had
now reached the point as to
whether a further By -Law
should be passed covering
the acceptance of the
Heritage plan . already
prepared for Clan Gregor
Square, Main Street and
Elgin Place.
Gary. Davidson attended
the meeting. and as director
of the Huron County Plan-
ning Board, he was able to
clarify sorne of the problems
with regard to concern
felt in some areas, including
the adoption of the plan as a
threat to property owners.
Quoting from his ex-
perience elsewhere, he was
able to reassure those
present that this had not
proved to be the case. He
emphasized the point that a
L.A.C.A.C. Committee as
such was purely an advisory
body whose main role was to
assist property owners and
the Council.
Mrs. Arlene Kok said that

members of the . Business
People's Association had
resulted in unanimous ap-
proval. The Ratepayer's
Association had also sup-
ported the plan, but Coun-
cillor Johnston, whilst
personally 'approving the
idea, said that he felt that
there were people who were
not fully in agreement.
Joe Beechie, who had been
involved right from the very
beginning said that he felt
they were merely going over
all the ground once again
still without arriving at any
conclusions.
Summing up the situation,
Reeve Fellows felt that the
matter had to be resolved
one way or the other. As far
as the Council were con-
cerned, any conclusions
reached had to be based on
majority opinions and the.
responsibilities that .might
be laid upon their suc-
cessors.
It was finally resolved that
a list of property owners in
the designated area of the
plan should be compiled, and
when these had been iden-
tified, the .members of the
L.A.C.A.C. Committee would
make personal contacts in
order to obtain their
opinions. The resultant in-
formation would be
presented to the Village
Council at their meeting on
September 17th.
The committee comprising
two members of Council Mr.
D. Johnston and Mrs. G.
Pemberton, Mrs. P. Willock
and Mrs. Jack Beechie, Mrs.
Arlene Kok and Mr. Alec
Shevchuk agreed to go-'
ahead, and Mr. Gary
Davidson and Reeve Fellows
would also serve as ex -officio
members of the committee.
The meeting was then
adjourned and the
L.A.C.A.C. remaine.d to
formulate the arrangements
for their enquiry.
Prior to the meeting to
discuss the Heritage Plan,
two By -Laws were passed by
the Corporation of the
Village of Bayfield related to
overdue tax for 1981. The
interest rate will be in-
creased by two percent and.
will also be applied to taxes
that are in arrear prior to
1981.
Clinton hospital appeal
By Helen Owen
"The patient is quite
comfortable." That phrase
has a familiar ring because
it is so often the answer to an
enquiry about a patient's
condition. Clinton Public
Hospital has been offering
care and reassurance since
2908 - and medical care has
certainly undergone many
changes in the intervening
years! A recently published
summary of the extensive
renovations which have been
carried out clearly indicates
that the standard of care is
continually being upgraded.
Much of the financial
assistance has been
achieved by public
donations, and from this
angle it is intere§fing to
balance public gengiosity on
the scale beside the ad-
vantages of having a com-
munity hospital
Statistical analysis as a
means of assessing patient
care is related to ad-
missions, discharges,
emergencies, bed oc-
cupancy, medical and
nursing care, therapy,
maintenance of
sophisticated equipment and
administration.
But there is another a spe ct
which perhaps, is less often
taken into account, and that
is the benefit to the patient
and the family of having a
'hospital near home'. The
apprehension engendered by
being transported a long
distance to an unfamiliar
environr;, t cannot be
discounted''
The community hospital,
however, is not only near,
but is frequently staffed by
known people whose
presence reduces tension.
However,. kind and
dedicated, in the initial stage
of hospital admission the
presence of those with a
personal knowledge of one's
circumstances and
background can be .a great
comf ort in time ,of crisis.
For the family, relatives
and friends', who may also
find themselves daunted by
large buildings and strange
faces, the community

hospital and its staff provide
warmth, confidence and
reassurance, sometimes just
as necessary to the family as
to the patient. The visitor
who is apprehensive may
have difficulty in concealing
this concern, and unwittingly
conveys it to the person
being visited.
Particularly with elderly
patients, some of whom find
themselves hospitalized for
the first time, the whole
experience can .be alarming.
An additional concern may
be that a partner is trying to
cope at home - not only with
unfamiliar areas of
everyday living, but with
getting to and from hospital
to visit.
In winter time weather
conditions can and do in-
crease the hazards, so for
both patient and visitor
anxieties are increased when
extensive journeys have to
be undertaken. Fortunately
there are nearly always
people willing to help with
the necessary driving, but
even so, there is a certain ,
reluctance to request such
help.
Visitors, within reason,
certainly have a role to play
in patient recovery. They are
the stimulus towards
returning to the outside
world and the means of
maintaining contact with
familiar events and ac-
tivities. Again the local
hospital, within easy access,
means that friends can help
to share the visiting times
with family.
Apart from actual time
taken driving back and forth,
the increasing cost of gas
cannot be overlooked and
may even .result in a
limitation of visiting. One
assumes that the additional
costs of ambulance transport
over longer distances is
included in the costing of
hospital admissions, but if a
journey of 16 miles as op -<1
posed to 60 is calculated then
the local hospital certainly
would appear to offer a more
economic proposition.
There are occasions when
specialized care requires
admission to a hospital far
from home- when it would be
wrong to deny the patient
such facilities. But, there is
no doubt that where
adequate care is available in
a local community hospital,
both for the patient and the
patient's family the ad-
vantages have much to
commend them. The record
of public support for Clinton
Hospital over the years is in
itself ample evidence that
the `hospital near home' is
appreciated and seen as an
essential part of future care.
