DHC receives $260,500 for study MITCHELL - The shortage of doctors will be part of a study of hospital and related health ser- vices announced recently, re- ported the Mitchell Advocate. A $260,500 grant will fund the study to be carried out by a 19 - member volunteer board with the support of the Huron -Perth District Health Council. According to the Mitchell Ad- vocate, the board will develop an integrated system of hospital and health care services. It will give immediate attention to hos- ` pital-related services such as I. home -care, long-term care and other support services. The study is expected to take six months to complete and will include suggestions and input from the community including health care professionals as well as patients. The method of ob- taining the community input has not been finalized however the board anticipated public meet- ings and hopes people will send letters with their suggestions. Plans to close any hospitals in Huron or Perth Counties were denied. The study will consider the hospitals and the services they provide before a decision to close would be made. Motion to reduce council defeated CLINTON - A motion to re- duce the number of Clinton Council was defeated in a vote of nine to seven last Monday night, reported the Clinton News -Record. The motion to stated this re- duced could be achieved by re- moving the position of deputy - reeve and the position of one councillor. Opponents to the motion felt council members al- ready attend enough meetings and this workload would be in- creased in seven members were conducting the town's business. Former reeve dies BRUSSELS - The former reeve of Brussels died on July 12 at Wingham and District Hospital in his 83rd year. John Calvin Krauter served as reeve of Brussels for 15 years and was elected county warden in 1968. He also served with the Royal Canadian Navy during World War Ili following which he set up a plumbing and heat- ing business. "A lot of people would like to ride bikes in the park and we want to make it more user friendly for them," said Matthew Penny, chair- person of the Friend's of Pinery Park's board of directors. Hikers walked the 1.8 km Car- olinian trail which features stair- ways, benches and viewing plat- forms stopping to talk to five naturalists stationed along the way. Using props, scopes and handouts, they talked about pond life, fungi, deer, sand dunes and the unique oak savanna Carolinian forest often called Canada's deep south. The tour covered all of the differ- ent ecosystems and organizers hoped the hike would spark public interest in the natural aspects of the park as well as raise funds to build Tom Purdy shows a group of hikers deer bones during • the "Take -A -Hike' fundraiser at the Pinery Provincial Park on Saturday. Purdy was one of five naturalists stationed along the Carolinian trail educating hikers about pond life, fungi, deer and the sand dunes that are unique to the park. Hikers raised $548 which will go towards building the 12 km bicycle path in the park. Looting an embarrassment IPPERWASH - The native loot- ing and confiscation of a Michigan couple's 29 -foot cabin -cruiser stranded at the federal Army Camp beach in Ipperwash is a national embarrassment, said John Duncan, M.P. Reform critic for Aboriginal Affairs. "The Michigan owner of the boat would have had more success to date if he had washed up on the shores of Cuba than he is having in recovering his boat and property from the Army Camp beach at Ip- perwash," Duncan said. "The military deserted the Army Camp last year and there has been effectively no policing authority over the federal land since. The res- idents and cottage owners in the Ip- perwash area have been aware of many unresolved problems radiat- ing from the area since. The federai Minister of Aboriginal Affairs, who is in charge of the ex -Army Base lands, has sat on his hands." Tourist confidence in the Ipper wash area is vital and this latest in cident, which is now internationa in scope, will not help, Duncan said. "The federal Minister must act to impose authority over the lands as he has been asked to do many times before. As a local councillor has stated, `no one is in charge."' "The Ontario Provincial Police will not enter the federal property, the military abandoned their author- ity in 1995 and the RCMP say they have no jurisdiction" Duncan said we haven't seen the end of this story.
