Support group presents brief to task force LONDON - When the provincial task force gave their views as well as other support on the implementation of midwifery was in London on October 16,, the Midwifery Sup- port Group of Midwestern Ontario accom- panied by Sheatre, was there. The task force will be taking a full report of their findings in 10 cities across Ontario, to the Hon. Murray Elston, Minister of Health, in March 1987. The provincial government has announc- ed that midwifery - now without any legal status - will be regulated in• Ontario and in- corporated into the health care system. The task force's study will make recommenda- tions as to how it can be done best. The Midwestern Ontario group includes some representatives from Huron County who are interested in the province's accep- tance of the practice of midwifery and home birthing. The presentation made by the Midwestern Ontario group favoured self-regulation for midwives and a direct entry program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in OVIidwifery. A scroll of pictures of the families in the support group who are prirnsrily residents of Huron County, was presented to Mary Eberts, a Toronto lawyer and chairperson of the task force. She assured the group the scroll would be hung in their Toronto office. The Midwestern group used a human sculpture on the topic of birth and a birthing mosaic performed by Sheatre and members of the support group to emphasize their point that midwifery has a real and impor- tant place in today's society. The group was congratulated on its unique and thoughtful presentation to the task force. Many individuals, doctors and midwives CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1986—Page 7A groups. The University of Western Ontario Obstetrics and Gynecology Department felt it should be possible for current midwives to be licensed after completing the education requirements that might be lacking .in their experience. The Registered Nurses Assistants favoured autonomy for midwives, keeping midwifery separate from nursing. There was some concern expressed by a Sarnia physician at the London meeting. Dr. Bob Brown, president of the medical staff at St. Joseph's Hospitel in Sarnia, recommend- ed a test run at at least one hospital in the province to show whether or not midwifery should be expanded in Ontario. Brown said a test is needed because there is some question in the minds of some medical professionals about whether or not midwifery is safe in all situations. He warned that if midwifery were in-, troduced in Ontario without being tested, doctors might refuse to co-operate. Chairman Eberts tended to agree that midwifery needs a test run, and she said the two toughest decisions for the task force will be how to train midwives and whether they should work in hospitals, homes or clinics specializing in births. London midwife Edythe Johnston -Brophy said midwives are "an adjunct to physi- cians" and should assist m hospital births. The concensus of opinion among sup- porters was that the midwife should assist the expectant mother throughout her pregnancy - and should be with her at the time of birth, whether in hospital or at home. ABCA is looking for local conservationists The Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority wants help in fihding local conser- vationists. From these nominations the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) will select the winners of its annual conservation awards. There are two award categories - one for an individual and the other for a group. The purpose of the conservation awards is to recognize important conservation efforts and achievements within the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority's watersheds. "We are looking for a group and an in- dividual who' have shown initiative and com- mitment in conserving natural resources" says Gregory Pulham, Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority's Community Rela- tions Co-ordinator. "People who plant trees, modify their tillage systems, improve thier manure handling or protect wetlands help the Conservation Authority to fulfill its role and we want to salute those people," says Mr. Pulham. Last year's winners were Wayne Woods and The Claybird Gun Club. Their position as conservationists is permanently displayed on the plaques at the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority's Ad- ministration Centre. So, if you know of some good conserva- tionists let the Ausable-Bayfield Conserva- tion Authority know by November 21. Names, locations and brief descriptions of the conservation work will assist the conser- vation authority in choosing the winners. Ministry accepting hides The Wingham District is again encourag- ing successful moose, deer and bear hunters to donate the hides of their big game this fall. The collection depot will operate at the Wingham District Office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday until December 9. The lower jaws of deer, moose and bear are used by wildlife managers to determine the age of the animals; information that is valuable in managing Ontario's big game species. Each successful hunter who contributes a jaw will receive an attractive crest and a blaze orange hunting cap for each hide con- tributed, as a token of appreciation for par- ticipating in the jaw and hide collection program. The skillful hunter, who donates the hides and the Ministry of Natural Resources together provide a continuing supply of moose, deer and bear hides for the produc- tion of quality products and crafts by On- tario's native people.
