BY DAVID SCOTT' —�
Expositor Editor
The Seaforth Medical
Clinic has another new doc-
tor on staff.
Dr. Shawn Edwards joined
the staff on Monday, filling
in for Dr. Heather Percival's
maternity leave.
Edwards grew up on a
hobby farm in the Dorchester
area. He holds a degree in
chemistry from University of
Western Ontario where he
also completed his medical
school training.
Dr. Edwards then finished
his family medicine residen-
cy program at Kingston
General Hospital. Although
the program was based in
Kingston he travelled to
Oshawa, Belleville, Ottawa,
Napance and Moose Factory
on James Bay as part of his
residency the past two years.
He was looking for a small
town setting where he could
practise rural medicine.
"Obstetrics, emergency, fami-
ly practice. I want to do a bit
of each."
Edwards met Dr. Mark
Woldnik and Gwen
Devereaux from Seaforth
Community Hospital at a
recruitment day at Queen's
University. He was sold on
Seaforth.
"It's nice to settle down
now," says Dr. Edwards. He

Percival for three months, he
plans to start his own practice
after acquiring patients.
"I'm happy to be here,"
says the new doctor.
County's conduct questioned
BY BLAKE PATTERSON
SSP News Staff
The way Huron County
government conducts itself
was questioned at the regular
monthly meeting of county
council on July 4.
The question centred on a
decision.by the Agriculture
and Public Works committee
,to delay advertising for a new
county 'engineer to replace
Dennis Merrill who recently
resigned to take a similar
position in Middlesex County.
Coun. Brian McBurney of
Turnberry Twp. asked why the
job had not been advertised in
June as directed by council in
February.
The job advertisement was
supposed to be in regional
newspapers by the middle of
June and interviews for the
job were to take place by mid-
July.
McBurney's question was
'followed by a brief silence
before Warden Bill Clifford
Tuckersmith now
requires criminal
check for workers
Tuckcrsmith Council estab-
lished a policy of 'requiring a
criminal check for any new
employee of the municipality,
at its July 2 meeting.
Drainage Loans
Council also approved tile
drainage loans in the amount
of $18,0)0 for George Wood
and $18,000 for Michael
Devereaux.
Building Inspection
Tuckcrsmith Council
received the building inspec-
tor report for the month of
June from Al Nigh which
showed 22 permits issued:
including five for houses,
four for sheds and three for
decks.
Rural Review
The first edition of The
Rural Review newsletter pub-
lished by the !'.ural Ontario
Municipal Association
(ROMA) was circulated at
thc July 2 Tuckcrsmith coun-
cil meeting.
The newsletter deals with
ROMA's meetings with
OMAFRA and the Ontario
Police Summit held last
month which touched on
rural policing.
The publication is produced
in thc Township of Hamilton,
home of ROMA chair
Charlotte Clay -Ireland.
Comments or ideas on the
new quarterly newsletter are
to be sent to thc Township of
Tuckcrsmith, to ROMA trea-
surer and Tuckcrsmith clerk
Jack McLachlan. He has been
treasurer of thc provincial
organization for the past four
to five years.
directed the question to the
clerk -administrator Lyn
Murray.
Murray tersely answered
that tI?e job posting notices
were 'all ready to go' and the
public works committee had
directed her to send out the
notices the next day.
Coun. Tom Cunningham of
Hullett Twp. re -asked
McBurney's unanswered
question demanding to know
why the job had .not been
advertised in June as directed.
Cunningham, a former war-
den, said once county council
ratified the motion in
February, the public works
committee had no right to go
against that direction.
Clifford responded by say-
ing the committee decided to
wait to advertise until county
council's July meeting before.
posting the nosition "The
thinking being," he said, "that
if anyone wanted to raise the
subject or do anything differ-
ent . . . there was still an
opportunity."
Murray added that thc hir-
ing process' would not be
delayed and the length of time
allowed for applications had
not changed, only shifted
. from June to July.
The revised deadline for
applications is now July 31.
Applicants will be short listed
by the Aug. 6 and interviews
will be held on Aug. 16.
"I don't doubt that all these
things arc true," said a frus-
trated McBurney in response,
"but nobody has still
answered why it wasn't adver-
tised in June as directed by
this council."
After another silent pause,
Clifford: said, "The committee
