Henry Huberts is First Presbyterian's new minister
Moving to Seaforth like coming home, say Huberts

A move from Montreal to Seaforth might
come with a little culture shock but the new
minister at Seaforth's First Presbyterian
Church says it's like coming home.
For Rev. Henry Huberts, and his wife
Brenda, the move to Seaforth reminds them
both of the places they grew up.
"For us to come to a small town like
Seaforth is just coming home for us," said
Henry.
Both Henry, who grew up in Moorefield,
and Brenda, who grew up in Woodstock, said
they arc used to life in a smaller town.
The move for the Huherts was both
emotionally and physically stressful.
"There's always some kind of emotional
difficulty when you move from one place to
another and getting your bearings again when
you move to a new place," said Henry.
Brenda hopes their arrival will spark some
new life into Seaforth's First Presbyterian
Church and St. Andrews Presbyterian Church
in Clinton.
"I think being a young couple in a church is
good for younger couples because we're
sensitive to the needs of young couples. That
might make it a little more attractive to get
them involved in the church," said Brenda.
The young couple have been married for
eight years. They have two children, Ryan, 6,
and Isaac, 3.
While in Montreal, Henry was studying to
receive his requirements to become ordained
in the Presbyterian Church of Canada. He
decided to choose Seaforth from a couple of
other offers because he thought he could
work with the community.
"I think as a minister I can work with these
people for the good of this church and the
community," said Henry.

Making the Decision
June is Long -'Perm Care Month and that means nursing homes and long-
term care centres across the country will be hosting activities to help the
general public better tmderstand what it's like to live in such residences.
This will also he a special opportunity for these homes and centres to pay
tribute to the doctors. nurse and support staff who offer their residents
,uclr a high level of rare.
llakint; the decision to move into a long-term rate centre is very difficult
for most iiettiors. When is it really time to go and where should they go?
As hard this derision is. it eventually becomes necessary - both for the
elderly INTRO!' as well as for those who currently look after thew.
Moving out of the familiarity of one's home and into a nursing home is
never an easy transition. Helping to prepare the individual emotionally
can help. Whenever possible. try to approach this derision from a
proactive stance, rather than in reaction to a crisis, such as after the
individual has had to spend time in the hospital due to a fall.
Instead. caregivers should visit the centres and hones in their area to
learn more about their services and areommodations. Local government
agencies can also help you locate which centre an available. /Wore
visiting, prepare a list of questions that will help you determine if that
particular residence hosts the individual needs of the senior. Always call
ahead to make an appointment to visit. and take advantage of this
opportunity to ask how long you will need to wait to obtain a plane and
the approximate costs. This will help you narrow down the list of centres
to visit. When you (10 visit, look carefully at how clean and welcoming
the centre is. the quality and variety of the food that is scrod, tin•
accessibility to bathrooms and the ratio of employees to residents.
Activities. security and medical rare are other important factors to
consider.
