Mrs. Armstrong clahned the line 1 By Margaret Stapleton A Brussels -area site has been cho- sen as the location for the proposed Huronview North satellite nursing home. In a 19-14 recorded vote at last Thursday's session of county coun- cil, members voted in favor of a rec- ommendation of the Huronview site selection committee to choose a site located just outside Brussels in Morris Township, owned by William and Marie Turnbull. What is required now is soil -test- ing of the site and final approval of the Ontario Ministry of Conununity and Social Services, which funds capital and operating costs for nursing homes. For the Turnberry-Winghem Committee for Huronview North, the decision came as a bitter disap- pointment. The group has been lob- bying for several months to have the 80 -bed .satellite home built here and even had a consultant's report prepared to state its case. However, a ministry of health decision late last month to allow the owner of theCallender Nursing Home at Brussels to amalgamate its 34 beds with the 35 beds at Brookhaven in Wingham did little to help the Turnberry-Wingham cause. ' Mac MacGowan, owner of the two nursing homes, received min- istry approval to amalgamate the two homes on Oct. 28, less than one week before the county council • vote. A delegation of enthusiastic Brookhaven owner may amalgamate beds The owner of the Brookhaven Nursing Home near Wingham and Callander Nursing Home, Bruseels, has received Ontario Ministry of Health permission to amalgamate his nursing home beds. Ministry approval came late last month to Mac MacGowan of Wing - ham. Callander Nursing Horne has 34 beds, while the Wingham facility is home to 35 people. Mr. MacGowrin told the newpa- pci early last week that the reloca- tion of nursing home beds will not happen oven and It is passible that he will construct a new, 694,eiti home on property he owns near Sacred Heart chobl in Wng**.
