PAGE 11 . 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.

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.

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.

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.
