Family health team still hot topic at HE
By Carol Burns
Citizen staff
"We are ready to rewrite the report
if we are not satisfied with it. No
one has seen it yet, said Huron East
deputy-mayor Bernie MacLellan as
he updated council May 16 on the
Family Health Team.
MacLellan was speaking about the
business plan due from the
consultant which must be submitted
to the Ministry of Health and Long-
Term Care by May 23.
The Ministry had already granted
an extension.
Some frustration was expressed
that hiring the consultant was a
requirement of the Ministry, and that
the local committee and elected
officials are being shut out of the
planning process.
The submission, and its
acceptance, will mark significant
steps in the process of Seaforth and
Clinton obtaining funds to
implement family health teams.
One of the goals of Family Health
Teams is to improve the delivery of
health care to area residents,
especially those who are currently
without a family physician.
MacLellan indicated that the
Family Health Team committee was
to receive the report by Thursday
May 18.
"Joe (mayor Seili) and I were in
(Family Health Team committee)
meetings all, yesterday afternoon,
and today until five. We are ready to
rewrite it over the weekend."
MacLellan said.
He said that lie thought probably
the report would advocate Seaforth
as the base for the Family Health
Team, with a satellite office in
Clinton.
As of late Friday aftem000n there
was no further information coming
from the administration office.

By Stew Slater
Special to The Citizen
Bernard Murray, representative for
Perth South and St. Marys on the
Huron-Perth Catholic District
School Board, has taken over the
presidency of the Ontario Catholic
School Trustees' Association
(OCSTA).
Murray was acclaimed at the
province-wide organization's antual
general meeting in Toronto on April
21.
The- OCSTA serves as a collective
lobbying voice for Ontario's
Catholic school boards, taking in
over 600,000 students between
Kindergarten and Grade 12.
"It's an opportunity to bring the
good .news of Catholic education to
the (Ontario Education) ministry,"
Murray said following a regular
Huron-Perth board meeting Monday,
April 24.

Devon Blake suffered a fall as well
and now has a broken collarbone. He
also will be laid up for the early
summer.
In hospital is Ron Lee. We hope he
is coming along. Also in Wingham

Returning to Vancouver is Neil
McDonald after a week's visit. It
seems when Neil comes to visit,
things seem to fall apart. Neil wasn't
responsible for anything breaking,
it must Just be karma, or bad
karma.
Oh well, everything is fixed again
and when Neil returns for the Grey
Twp. party, a fun time will be had.
There was a party for Brian and
Dianne Huether who celebrated their
40th wedding anniversary. Family
"Because that's what (the OCSTA)
does, essentially."
Murray, a retired dairy farmer and
one-time secondary school teacher,
has been with the Huron-Perth board
since 1985 and became involved as a
regional director with the OCSTA in
the 1990s. The organization is
governed by a board of 13 regional
directors, with Huron and Perth
falling in the same region as Grey,
Bruce, Wellington and Waterloo
Counties.
He said he has been encouraged to
seek the presidency in recent years,
particularly since being named
OCSTA vice-president two years
ago.
"Bernard is committed to working
with the government and partners in
education to enhance learning
opportunities and outcomes for
students in Ontario," stated a news
release distributed by the
OCSTA.
and friends gathered together for a
great night of fun and
congratulations to Brian and Dianne.
Friends and family gathered at the
BMG for a surprise 50th birthday
party for Val Shortreed. Carmen and
Mary Bernard were in charge of
getting Val to the surprise party,
which was put together by the kids,
Jason, Matt, Brad and Krista. Neil

Shortreed, Judy Beuermann, Mary
Bernard, Cathrine Campbell,
Shannon McGavin and Matt

wisdom and congratulations to Val
on her special day.
While out on the weekend, Rick
and I ran into our neighbourhood
crop advisor, Ken, and he says it's a
good thing the soybeans, aren't in,
cause "she's a bit chilly out there."
Hopefully the cold wet weather
doesn't affect those beans that are
already out of the ground.
Fellow trustees on the Huron-
Perth board had more heartfelt
praise, however.
Vice-chair Mary-Catherine Mc-
Keon read a passage which she
claimed occurred to her as she
drove to the April 24 meeting, and
she had to pull over and write it
down.
"I consider him a very worthy
choice," McKeon said, before
describing a recent event at which
Murray arrived to meet family
members.
"If you had seen him when he
picked up his grandchildren . . . he
sure couldn't mask
his_ feelings. He's a wonderful
family man and he'll be a great
president."
At the OCSTA annual meeting,
the chair of the Sudbury Catholic
District School Board was acclaimed
to replace Murray as vice-pres-
ident.
Visiting in the area is Clem
Steffler of Alberta. He dropped in to
the Walton Inn and had a chance to
visit with those having lunch.
Nice to see you again Clem and
thanks for appreciating the Walton

way out in Alberta.
