MAYBE SO! Although a formal announcement will be madelater in the week, the Island Clippings has been advised bySault Area Hospital officials that a series of ‘Public Engage-ment’ meetings will take place next week, presented by SaultArea Hospital, the Blind River District Health Centre and theNorth East Local Health Integration Network (NE LHIN) forresidents of the areas served bythe Matthews Memorial, Thes-salon and Blind River hospitals.

The purpose of the meetings isto provide an update on theprogress made on the much-anticipated Tri-community‘Hospital Partnership’ aimed atdeveloping new solutions fordelivering health care in a ruralenvironment. The meeting forthe Matthews MemorialHospital catchment area will beon Tuesday, October 9th at theRoyal Canadian Legion inRichards Landing, starting at 7pm, followed by meetings inThessalon and Blind River onWednesday, October 10th andThursday, October 11th respec-tively.

Currently, the MatthewsMemorial and Thessalonhospital sites fall under theauspices of the Sault AreaHospital, and are administra-

tively treated as “floors” of the SAH. Under considerationsince October 2010, a ‘Rural Hospital Partnership’ wouldseparate the Matthews Memorial and Thessalon facilitiesfrom Sault Area Hospital and partner them with Blind River,sharing common management, administration and resourcesto provide more ‘rural focused’ healthcare.

The ‘Rural Hospital Partnership’concept was first publiclyannounced as being underconsideration back in October2010 by then-LHIN Chair PeterVaudry on a visit to St. JosephIsland. His comments werereported in Issue # 770(October 21, 2010) of the IslandClippings, which can be viewedby visiting our website,www.islandclippings.com andclicking on ‘Archives.’

Peter confirmed that ElainePitcher, Chair of the SAH Boardof Directors (and appointedChair of the North East LHINlast August) had confirmed thatthey “just don’t get” rural healthcare and they support theLHIN’s seeking other alterna-tives for ensuring qualitymedical care outside of theSoo’s City Limits.

Continued on next page

Is the ‘Rural Hospital Partnership’ Finally Coming?

The news was met with wild enthusiasm at the time, since it

assured that Matthews Memorial Hospital would NOT be

closed, as was widely feared. In fact, its role in delivering

health care in our community could well be increased.

As Peter then described it, MMH would no longer be ‘tied’ to

the Sault Area Hospital, but rather would be one of three

‘partner’ facilities, all oriented towards delivering quality

health care to a re-defined rural catchment area that would

stretch from the Soo City Limits to Spanish. The area was

tentatively named ‘Lake Huron North Shore Algoma, and

would include the Garden River First Nations and the unor-

ganized territory to the north.

The three hospitals would share facilities and resources, with

more complex cases and surgeries still being referred to the

larger Sault or Sudbury hospitals.

It seems that not much has happened since, at least

outwardly to those not directly involved. Initial ‘governance’

discussions amongst the parties involved appeared to stall

over matters such as the ratio of representation on the Board

of Directors, or even who would sit at the table to discuss

such issues. Many feared that the promising ‘partnership’ had

gone dormant, or had even died completely.

Perhaps it won’t be a ‘partnership’ at all. It appears that the

Matthews Memorial Hospital Association Board of Directors

has been excluded from the organizational discussions to

date. Representatives of the MMHA Board chose not to

comment at this time, awaiting more accurate, detailed

information. Perhaps they too will have to wait for Tuesday

night to find out what’s in store for our small rural hospitals.

So plan to attend one of these important meetings yourself!

After all, it’s YOUR health care that they’ll be talking about!

MMHACalls General MeetingTHE MATTHEWS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ASSOCIA-TION Board of Directors has given notice of a GeneralMembers’ Meeting, to be held on Thursday, October 18th atthe Royal Canadian Legion in Richards Landing.

This meeting is open to all MMHA members, as well as anyeligible residents of the MMHA catchment area who wish tobecome members. The catchment area includes the fourmunicipalities on St. Joseph Island, as well as the townshipsof Johnson, Laird, Macdonald, Meredith, Aberdeen Addi-tional, Plummer Additional, Tarbutt and Tarbutt Additionaland the town of Bruce Mines.

The MMHA Board has called the meeting in order to ratifyproposed changes to the association bylaws, so that eligibilityfor membership better reflects the population and landownership in the hospital catchment area.

“One key change will be to re-define and clarify the currentrequirement for a member to be a “permanent resident.”advises MMHA Secretary Mark Henderson. “The presentdefinition affects our snowbirds, who are away for much ofthe winter, as well as others who own or rent property in thearea.”

Perhaps now more than ever, the Matthews Memorial HospitalAssociation needs a strong, participating membership base.

A man was sent to prison for 20 years.He was so bored while in there, hefound an ant and decided to teach ittricks - like beg, play dead, roll over,

jump hair etc. He served his time andwas released. He took his ant with himin a matchbox. The first place he wentwas to a bar. He sat down, took out thematchbox and emptied out the ant. Hethen said to the guy beside him, “You’renot gonna believe what this ant can do”.

He showed him all the tricks and theguy was impressed and told him that hecould make a fortune with the ant. Theguy with the ant was excited and calledthe bartender over and said “You see

that ant?” The bartender put his fingeron the ant, twisted it and said,

“Sorry sir it won’t happen again.”

“The Lemon Secret”Don’tWaste That Lemon Peel!MANY PROFESSIONALS in restaurants and eateries use theentire lemon and nothing is wasted. How can you use thewhole lemon without waste? Simple!

Place the lemon in the freezer section of your refrigerator.Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater, and shred thewhole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on top ofyour foods.

Sprinkle it on your whiskey, wine, vegetable salad, ice cream,soup, noodles, spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish dishes. All ofthe foods will unexpectedly have a wonderful taste, some-thing that you may have never tasted before. Most likely, youonly think of lemon juice and vitamin C. Not anymore. Nowthat you’ve learned this lemon secret, you can use lemon evenin instant cup noodles.

Lemon peels are health rejuvenators in eradicating toxicelements from the body. The peel contains up to 10 timesmore vitamins than the lemon juice itself. And yes, that’swhat you’ve been wasting. But from now on, you can benefitfrom all of those nutrients and get even healthier.

So place your lemon in your freezer, and then grate it on yourmeal every day. It is a key to make your foods tastier andmaybe even help you live healthier and longer! That’s thelemon secret!

OPPWarns of ‘Distraction Thefts’ and Jewellery FraudONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE (OPP) remind the public and retail store ownersto always ensure their personal safety and prevent becoming victims of theft andfraud.

There have been numerous complaints of distraction thefts in retail outlets and fraud-ulent or ‘black market’ street-level sales of merchandise, including jewellery, in severalareas of Ontario in recent weeks. These incidents are not isolated.

The suspects travel in groups using rented vehicles and are identifiable by the distinc-tive types and styles of clothing they wear which also assist with their crimes.

Some victims have been defrauded for amounts ranging from a few hundred to up tofive-thousand dollars ($5,000). At a retail shopping check-out, a victim may use theirdebit card while the suspects are behind the victim to memorize the PIN number.Once outside, the victim is deliberately distracted while another suspect steals theirwallet.

In other retail locations, while astore employee is distracted by asuspect, another female suspect willhide items in pockets under a long,flowing skirt - so-called “booster”skirts - before exiting the store.

In incidents involving street-levelsales, a suspect approaches a victimand offers them gold jewellery inmemory of a dead relative, or as agift. The suspect placesthe necklace on thevictim, while removingthe victim’s own goldnecklace.

In other instances, oneor more suspectsapproach a victimclaiming they have arelative in need, andoffer expensive-lookingjewellery in exchangefor money to help. Thevictim later discoversthe jewellery is worth-less.

OPP remind storeemployees and commu-nity members to beaware of these incidents.

If this type of groupenters a store or if youhave been approachedby someone wanting tosell jewellery or othervaluables, call police orCrime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
