Clinton News-Record, 1986-07-16, Page 2Page 2—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, 1986 Huron Countyseeks ne By Alan Riven The wheels are now in motion to fill the position of the Medical Officer of Health tMOH) for Huron County after the recent resignation of Dr. Harry Cieslar from the post, says Brian McBurhey, chairman of the board of health. According to McBurney, reeve of Turn - berry Township, the position should be filled by July 22, Dr. Cieslar's last day as the MOH. Ads have been placed in the career section of four daily newspapers and in all the,county newspapers. The closing date fbr applications was set at July 4. "Sumner is a poor time of year to adver- tise for the position with everybody on holidays, but we don't expect too long of a vacancy," said McBurney in an interview following the county council meeting on July 2. Other alternatives to the hiring of a new medical officer of health were discussed with the Perth District Health Unit in a meelting on June 18. Under consideration by the two health units was to maintain the two units separately with one MOH, Dr. Susan Tamblyn, the Present MOH with Perth County. Also considered was a complete amalgamation of the two health units. However, McBurney said the 'discussions revealed these two alternatives to hiring a medical officer Dr. Harry Cieslar's last day will be July By this time, the county hopes to have a replacement. new MOH were currently unacceptable. "After initial discussions, we felt, and we perceived they (the Perth delegation) felt, that this was not the road to take right now. But, they're interested in further talks,'° said McBurney. The idea of amalgamating the two units would result in a less costly system for the two counties,. However, the bigger unit would result in less individual control from the counties, he said. As for one MOH for the two health units, McBurney said "Dr. Tamblyn wasn't receptive to the idea as she's busy enough in Stratford -Perth." Dr. Tamblyn advised the members of the health board during the meeting there were a number of doctors in training available through the University of Toronto which might be available for a period off three months on a residency basis. Also discussed was "temporary emergency supervision" of a new MOH by Dr. Tamblyn. In closing remarks to the council after the report of the board of health, Dr. Cieslar thanked council for supporting him in his five years as MOH. However he expressed regret at the lack of provincial funding to the county health unit which may cause layoffs to employees. "Budget restrictions have resulted in significant problems ( for the health unit) with the possibility of layoffs," he said. "I've been here for a full fivehyears and I thank council for their support. It has been a very useful experience in my life to provide health services in Huron -County. I believe strongly in public health," he said. /Dr. Cieslar also recommended to council to deal with the "unresolved role" of the MOH and the conflict between himself and the clerk -treasurer and the board of health, the reason he cited for his resignation from the position. In an earlier newspaper account of the resignation, Dr. Cieslar pointed to a conflict between a county bylaw, passed in, 1968 which makes the clerk -treasurer the chief administrative officer over all boards in the county, and the provincial Health Protec- tion and Promotion Act, which states the MOH is the executive officer of the board of health. He said, at the time, that the county's bylaw was probably the reason why the four MOH's before him had left their position. In his brief speech, Dr. Cieslar went on to say the organizational reView of the county health unit may help to iron out the dif- ferences between the two sides. Recently, a draft management review of the relation--� ship between the health unit and county council has noted "misconceptions" in the roles and reiponsibilities of council, the board of health, the MOH and the clerk - treasurer's department. The report says this has resulted in "adverse effects" on the morale and efficiency of the health unit. Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle said he was - "very disappointed" to see Dr. Cieslar leave his position as MOH. He expressed hope that the county will move towards clearing up these conflicts in the system- so it doesn't hamper the operation of the health unit. "I for one feel very upset by these sorts of confrontations happening within "the system. We can't play games," said Reeve Mickle. insiiiimongiamisONSIONISIsk SPECIALS OF THE WEEK :�:::::::::o-••:::<y:<:y••>:;.:: <.:..:::.:............:... �i .ii:>:;>:iiy'i; <....,..,. ,,............... ?�E:%, ,,. its;.,.:::':.- ,.,..,,,,.,.... ...............:1'.a:eF;Gi'.:"..,'.•.ti?L..iitwYie:�:it....,..•.•.:Atliwis$;i*;�, ,. ... �..,.. rtll•.d1�`liRlt%FtYflfi�i: KUENZIG FOOD MARKET CLINTON THE BEST MEAT TO EAT SUPER SPECIAL!

At other museums, he said, the signs under displays have been less than adequate. Each display will have three types of signs under them. The firsttype will,sunp- ly state what the object is; the second sign will go into a little more detail while the third sign will "tell you everything you would ever want to know" about the ar- tifact, said Breede, adding the signs will be in bold face type. Page also enquired if the museum plans to be self-sufficient in the future and if it had a strategy to advertise for visitors out- side of Huron County. Currently, no museum in Canada is self- sufficient, said'Mr. Breede, as they tend to run at 70 to 80 per cent deficit, however, the county museum will try to generate 30 per cent of its own revenue. "The museum is for the preservation of the quality of life and to allow the people of the county to learn something about itself. We're not in the business of making money. We'll never cease to rely on government funding," he said. Marketing • As for the marketing of the museum to , those outside the Founty, Breede said the museum will 'actively promote itself by trying to bring in bus tours to the museum, especially from Michigan. Paul Carroll, a superintendent with the Huron County Board of Education, asked the committee how the museum can be us- ed by the education system in Huron County. A classroom manual will be developed for each of the galleries in the museum, answered Breede. Currently, the broad concept of the manual has been presented to the principals at the Clinton elementary schools. Also under consideration is the develop- ment of new programs for schools at the museum by a teacher from the Huron County Board of education who would work with the museum for one year. "The executive committee . of Huron County and the executive committee of the Board of Education have met to discuss the . idea and the reception was very • favorable," said Museum Committee Chairman Dave Johnston. As for the distant future of the museum, an effort will be made to establish "satellite museums", especially in Seaforth with the Van Egmond Founda- tion. Exhibits could be loaned out to various other museums in the county. "It could take some of the pressure off of storage," observed Breede. PLANNING A TRIP??
