The Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-04-29, Page 18PAGE 18--GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1981 Two members appointed • Bob r t y, and Ginn are ap- pointed by Ontario of Health to sit on the at Al dre Marine board and General Hospital. Dempsey and Ginn were appointed shortly after the hospital's financial "crisis a few years ago. • While the board members agree the contribution of Dempsey and Ginn has been excellent, they are not pleased to have provincial provincial representation i n the --bDard,-- n A letter had been sent off to the ministry asking that the two provincial representatives be removed from the board when their terms expire this fall. It had been hoped that Dempsey and Ginn would stay on to serve the board as members at large. .A recent letter from the ministry has indicated the Minister of Health, Dennis Timbrell, . sees no reason why the two men should not be reappointed by the ministry. Dempsey's bid to have provision for . provincial representatives "from time to time" built into the bylaws of the hospital, was defeated by a board vote. Administrator Elmer Taylor advised the board there are rumours that the Ministry of Health will want to have representatives appointed to every • hospital -board in Ontario in a year or two. Dempsey said that while he and Ginn • are obligees to bring the Ministry's con- , cerns_to the board as requested, they are also residents of the community who have the interest of the area at heart. He felt it was better to have two local representatives of the Ministry speaking -for-the -Minish than to .have the views= of some Ministry spokesman from Toron- to superimposed on the board from time to time'. • June 15 meeting The annual meeting of the Corporation of Alexandra Marine and . General" Hospital will be held June 15.' The last date for payment of the annual membership fees will be May 16. C(iMMUNITY NEWS Continue reports The . director of nursing at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital will con- - -tinue to --make- a report to the annual meeting of the Corporation according to a board decision Monday evening. As well, the doctors' representative to the board, the president of the medical staff, and the board's representative to the medical staff, the Chief of Staff, will also make annual reports to the Corpora- tion. The age 70, limit for board members will be lifted from the bylaws too, accor- ding to a board decision Monday evening; In a friendly debate,it was learned that most board members feel many per- sons 70 years of age and older have a great deal to contribute on boards such as the hospital board. Set up displays Canada Hospital Day will be observed by Alexandra Marine and General Hospital on Saturday, May 9 when displays will be set up at the Suncoast Mall. Nurses from AM&G will show educa- tional health films and do blood pressure testingfor anyone who asks. New position The board at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital agreed Monday even- ing to create the position of executive housekeeper at the hospital. Administrator Elmer Taylor pointed out this would be a working executive housekeeper and it is not expected it will necessitate an overall increase in staff. Forge past two years, Taylor said, the director of maintenance has been respon- sible for housekeeping at the hospital: 1 No holidays for rec board There-willrbe-no-summer-Haydon-moved- that they holidays for Goderich have summer meetings, Recreation Board members stating that there is much this year. business to take care of that time of year. Member Jim Semis ob- jected; and said that members deserve the summer off because they do not get paid much money for their work. Member Ron Bushell agreed with Haydon. "I think that we should give Jane some extra support." After several years of not having regular monthly meetings, the board voted Thursday night to conduct meetings in July and August. Recreation director Jane Netzke said that -she would rather they meet in the summer months because of the number of programs in that season, and that she would appreciate the board's support in her first year.

Not a very pleasant thought. But there is new hope on the horizon. Detected early enough, breast cancer can be treated and research into this detection area is breaking new ground every day. The Goderich Branch of the Canadian Cancer Society , is looking for 35 women volunteers between the ages of 40 and 59 who would like to "take part in a national breast screening study. , The study, being carried out at the Breast Screening Centre of Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, is aimed at determining over five years whether low dosage x-rays, called mammograms, can detect breast tumors soon enough to reduce death among middle-aged women. Lois McGill, education chairman for the Goderich Branch, is organizing a bus trip to Mount Sinai on June 30 and needs the names of 35 volunteers to fill the bus by June 5. Women interested in taking part, are urged to call Mrs. McGill at 524-9062. The bus will leave from the Goderich post• office at 6 a.m. and there is a fee of $10. Twelve extra seats will be available for any women simply interested in taking a trip to Toronto. The $9.5 million breast screening stu , largely financed by the Canadian Cancer Socie with the balance of funds coming from the federal provincial governments, is seeking 90,000 healthy volunteers from across Canada. Half will be given annual mammograms over the next five years and the other half will have physical m exaat1ons. alone. All are taught how to examine their own breasts properly. The examination at the hospital takes 15 to a maximum of 35 minutes. Women who enter the study don't have a choice as towhetherthey take a mammogram or the physical examination The selection is made by com- puter. "What we're trying to do here is see if mammograms can detect cancer early enough to prevent death and possibly the necessity of mastectomies," says I)r. Anthony Miller, director of the screening study. The study results should also give scientists more information about who is at the highest risk of developing breast cancer so future screening programs may be aimed at that group. Besides being between 40 and59, women who volunteer for the study must not have had an x-ray in the past year; must never have had cancer of the breast; must not be pregnant; and must be able -to return to Mount Sinai once a year for five years. Once the 35 volunteers from Goderich have been signed up, Mrs. McGill will advise organizers in Toronto. Their names will be submitted and questionnaires will be mailed out to them. Examinations will be slotted into morning or afternoon shifts so women can use the rest of their day shopping in the city (Mount Sinai is located in downtown Toronto). Overall area results from the study will be released to the Goderich Branch so that' the local volunteers can keep up on information. The research study is being supported by the federal ministry of health and welfare, the National Cancer Institute, the provincial ministry of health and the NSTETT JEWELLERS 8 ALBERT ST CLINTON 482-3901 AT THE MAIN CORNER We're at your service...

A busload of volunteers from Kincardine has already participated in the breast screening study and Mrs. McGill is hoping Goderich women will be equally responsive.

He did admit that the Ministry of Community and Social Services has responsibililty for creating chronic care facilities, and that the Ministry of Health sometimes is in dispute concerning decisions that are -reached which have" bearing on the Ministry's of Health's operations. There is some indication the board at AM&G will press for the current facility at the Bluewater Centre, now used for phsychiatric patients, to be converted to 'Chronic care when psychiatric services move to the new unit at AM&G in June. The Bluewater Centre is operated . under . the Ministry of Community and Social Services. Police to check for bike licences The Goderich Police department will be checking bicycles closely to ensure that owners have a valid licence for the vehicle. Police Chief Pat King said owners are required to have a licence by bylaw but added that licences offer protection to the owners. "There is a problem with bicycle thefts but we can identify the owner if the bike is licenced," he said. "We have at least 15 bikes here now but can't identify theowners." Licences are available at the police station on West Street and a $1 licence is good for five years. "All we need is the serial number and make of the bike to give the owner a licence," he said. "If there is no serial number, we can stamp one on." Over 2,500 bicycle licences have been issued but many owners are ignoring the bylaw. If a stolen bike is recovered, police cdn identify and return it, if it has a lirenra FROM...
