BAYFIELD FINANCIAL Gfioup',N: tllirr'ililCrlr 11ff�l LUlVfLFiG dl9 Sf�S 2420 Alexandra Marine and General Hospital staff in Goderich recently welcomed Geriatrician, Dr. Alexandrea Peel (far right) from I -r: Jimmy Trieu, VP Corporate Services/CIO; Sulav Pant, CFO; and Or Hilary Watson. (Submitted photo) Huron County is thrilled to announce a new service for the communities of this region: Geriatrician, Dr. Alexandrea Peel has opened clinics at Goderich, Clinton and Wingham Hospitals. Dr. Peel grew up on a farm near Wingham and has returned with her husband Andy, originally from the Lucknow area, and new son Cohen. After completing medical school, a residency in internal medicine and her fellowship in Geriatrics, all leading her to several communities across Ontario, she chose to come home. She is also a clinical teacher who hosts other prospective Geriatricians and Care of the Elderly Resident Doctors from Western University. Her first resident arrived this fall. She hopes to attract more Geriatricians, Geriatric Psychiatrists, and Care of the Elderly Physicians to practice in rural areas. 1 am so lucky to be warmly welcomed back to the community I grew up in. Caring for older people and their caregiver requires a village of supporters. All of the family doctors and family health teams, hospitals, long-term care facilities, retirement homes, Alzheimer's societies, senior's mental health services, geriatric nurses have been so helpful in setting up my practice. There is lots of work to be done and I have the best team around me," said Dr. Peel. Huron County has an aging population. This region has a higher proportion of elderly residents than similar communities in Ontario. An influx of retiring seniors from urban areas attracted to the beauty of the region and the strong medical services contributes to the need for specialized services of this nature. TURBINE STUDY The fall interim report for the Huron County Wind Turbine Study about Noise, Vibration, and Light is now available. The report provides background on purpose, methods and recruitment efforts, as well as the number of residents who have participated in different aspects of the study as of November 2018. For a copy of the report, please visit www.huronhealthunit.ca/wind or contact the Huron County Health Unit at 519 482-3416 or 1-877-837- 6143. The final report for the study will be released in late 2019.

NEW YEAR'S EVE The members of the Goderich Little Theatre are inviting those in the community to a "Light Up the Night in Black & White Party' to be held at The Livery in Goderich on Dec. 31. Those who attend are encouraged to deck themselves out in black and white and get ready to dance the night away from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek5Olssue492/tabid/913/Default.aspx 4/14 6/11/2019 Week 50 Issue 492 A Geriatrician is an internal medicine physician with additional training in caring for older adults with complex health care needs and assisting their caregivers with their care. Geriatricians provide a comprehensive consultation and treatment plan as well as follow up visits in collaboration with family doctors or nurse practitioners. Examples of common reasons to see a Geriatrician include multiple health problems, hospitalizations or emergency visits, multiple medication side effects, falls, memory problems, or trouble managing at home. Dr. Peel also provides home visits and visits to long-term care or retirement home or to hospital inpatients when required. A referral from your family doctor or nurse practitioner is required. Huron County is very fortunate to have a tremendous health care system with hospitals, family health teams, long term care facilities, home care, a rural health research centre and retirement communities and now an opportunity to deliver advanced specialized care to more individuals. Adding a Geriatrician is an important step for the community. Dr. Peel hopes to secure funding from the community and the Ministry of Health & Long -Term Care to develop a specialized interdisciplinary team who can respond to urgent health concerns of frail older adults and their caregivers. The goal is to provide the system navigation and medical intervention to prevent reliance on the emergency department and hospital system for issues that can be managed in the community. This team would be closely supported by Geriatricians, Geriatric Psychiatrists, and Care of the Elderly Physicians. "It is our goal to establish excellent accessible senior care in this region and we look forward to communicating with key stakeholders in our community," said Gwen Devereaux, Business Innovation & Recruitment leader for Goderich Alexandra Marine & General Hospital (AMGH). To determine the older patient's state of health Dr. Peel does a comprehensive geriatric assessment. Her new consultations are usually 1.5-2 hours in length. Evidence has shown this intervention improves quality of life and health outcomes for older adults. Across Canada there are only approximately 300 physicians specifically trained in geriatrics. Newly elected Mayor of Goderich John Grace said, "Welcome Dr. Peel! Your arrival means so much to the delivery of healthcare to rural Ontario and in particular within our region. With the demographic shift in rural Ontario, it is absolutely essential to have a Geriatrician as one of our healthcare providers to complement the growing need. This is welcome news. As Mayor of Goderich, I couldn't be happier."

The answer is iVolunteer Perth -Huron (iVPH). "iVolunteer is a tremendous resource," said Jane Larkworthy, Community coordinator and Data administrator for Special Olympics Ontario serving Stratford and area. "When we were looking for a volunteer, we used iVPH. "Within a day or two of connecting through iVPH, the volunteer had submitted all the necessary paperwork and since then has done everything we've asked and more. He's well liked and highly respected by our athletes and constantly demonstrates incredible dedication, organization and dependability. We couldn't be happier with our volunteer recruitment experience through MPH." iVPH is a United Way Perth -Huron (UWPH) supported service that has been gaining momentum over the past year. With a mission to deliver positive, rewarding volunteer experiences for both member organizations and potential volunteers in Perth and Huron Counties, iVPH has seen monthly searches grow from 125 in January of 2017 to between 400 and 600 per month currently the norm. Currently, there's a push to make iVPH even more accessible to organizations in the community. In addition to the $50 and $100 membership levels for non-profit and for-profit organizations respectively, iVPH is introducing an Affiliate level membership. Meant for non -profits without paid staff, an Affiliate level membership allows organizations to access the benefits of iVPH — minus social media posts about available volunteer positions — free of charge. As an online hub for volunteer activity in the region, iVolunteer is in a strong position to understand the needs of volunteers and organizations in their communities. Members can utilize this knowledge when they create opportunities for potential volunteers to engage with their organizations. For those interested in volunteering, iVPH offers many different, easy-to-use ways of discovering opportunities they would like to pursue.

Children's Christmas Party when that club was dissolved about 14 years ago. The crowd of about 130 people, including a visiting girls' hockey team, consumed 21 dozen eggs, as well as lots of bacon, sausage, pancakes, Maple Syrup, fried potatoes and orange juice, cartons of white and chocolate milk plus French toast, toast, and coffee. And for the third consecutive year there was the added treat of Shirley Temples for the kiddies as Brian Clarke, of The Ashwood Bourbon Bar, fancied up the orange juice upon request! The club extends thanks to those businesses that sponsor this family friendly function including: Bayfield Foodland, Fairholme Dairy (milk), Brandon's Hardware and Albert Schilbe (Maple syrup) and the Virtual High School (treat bags). The membership also appreciates the owners and managers of The Ashwood Inn and The Ashwood Bourbon Bar for availing their space to them to hold the event and assisting in making it run smoothly. In addition to a hearty meal, several children took advantage of the opportunity to spend a little time with the jolly old elf. Santa was delighted to greet them all. Immediately following the breakfast, Santa headed north to his workshop to make final preparations for his Christmas Eve rounds. Optimist Bruce Brady truly got into the spirit of the day while dishing out all the yummy breakfast treats from scrambled eggs to French toast. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week5Olssue492/tabid/913/Default.aspx 10/14 6/11/2019 Week 50 Issue 492 The Sonke family from Goderich attended the Breakfast with Santa as it is part of their Christmas tradition. This year they included grandparents visiting from Sault Ste Marie and an aunt from New Zealand - making it a three -generational event! Capturing the joy of the festive season wasn't difficult when the Shanahan family visited with Santa. Bridget, Luke, Jenny Allan and Weylin are ready for Christmas. Optimist members John Pounder and Wayne McCaig (right) created another "egg-cellent" breakfast. Scarlett Schilbe thoroughly enjoyed her breakfast, especially the chocolate milk courtesy Fairholme Dairy in Clinton. Bridget Shanahan brought her Kindness Elf to the party. All was calm when Tara Hesse], and Andy Heard (not pictured) brought their boys to see Santa on Sunday. Harvey, Huntley, Hudson and Hank have all been very good this year! cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week5Olssue492/tabid/913/Default.aspx 11/14 6/11/2019 Week 50 Issue 492 Penny Overboe took a moment to bend the ear of Jolly Old Saint Nick. 519-236-4381 Integ04 — EVErythi' g!

This year it marked the conclusion of a Christmas Crafts Day Camp at Klahanie. It was the perfect venue for my receipt of my 30 year service pin. I asked a Pathfinder to pin me as she was the oldest member present who had come right through the program with me since Sparks. What she didn't know was she is one of the reasons that I'm still a Melody Falconer -Pounder member of Girl Guides of Canada. Nine years ago when the organization abruptly closed Camp Klahanie I struggled with my committment to the sisterhood. But when I went to our weekly meetings and saw how much joy our youngest members were getting from the program it strengthened my resolve to both fight for the camp and not to give up on the organization I had devoted so much of my adulthood to. The smile on a young Sparks' face when singing silly songs got me through those dark days and the smile on this same now Pathfinders' face as she pinned her Brown Owl will be a memory i treasure over the next 30. - Melody �L • H 2018-19 SEASON SAYFIEL.D (0. }PTI Ml ST /.-a 1 P.S.
