“Your Island Newspaper”

OVER 200 PEOPLE filled the Hilton Community Hall onSaturday morning to receive an update from the RuralHealthcare Steering Committee on where the fight to saveMatthews Memorial Hospital now stands.

One very special and very welcome attendee, greeted withuproarious applause, was Stan Matthews, representing theMatthews family, from whose great legacy our community’shospital was first made possible.

Committee Co-Chairs Jack Priest, Tom Dalton and ConnieWitty, assisted by Hilton Beach Councillor (and theCommittee’s Recording Secretary) Lavera Crack, provided arecap of developments and events to date, as well as clarifyexactly who and what the ‘Steering Committee’ actually are.

Organizationally, the Co-Chairs report to the SteeringCommittee as a whole, which is made up of representativesfrom each municipality served by the hospital, as well as theChairs of the individual sub-committees targeted upon spe-cific areas including: Information (presently on inactivestand-by), Public Relations, Integrated Health Services, AnIndependent Hospital and a newly-formed ResearchCommittee. Each Steering Committee member has a vote.

The new Research Committee will be tasked with the devel-opment and analysis of information, taking great care toensure that all conclusions and statements are truly factual. Itwill explore several important areas, such as the potentialfinancial impact on our area, define the levels of health serv-ice needed and identify alternative healthcare models (acutecare vs. urgent care, etc.) and healthcare for transitionalpatients, so that more people can recuperate at home insteadof in hospitals or other institutions.

The Steering Committee has solidified its official “MissionStatement” to be one of “Improving the quality and deliveryof healthcare services in Central Algoma”. Their operatingphilosophy is summed up as:

• They will not align themselves with any political party orother particular group, such as CUPE or the OntarioHealth Coalition, so that they can make operating deci-sions without pressure or influences from outsidesources.

• They will seek solutions that are in the best interests of allarea residents, both permanent and seasonal.

HELP SAVE OUR HOSPITAL!The Steering Committee “goes public”.

Continued on next page

• The Steering Committee will operate on the basis of ‘con-sensus’, and will make their final recommendations to theMunicipalities involved, who will then have to ratify anydecisions or agreements with their taxpayers.

• They will seek permanent, long term solutions to ourhealthcare needs.

The Committee’s overall negotiating strategy will centre onchallenging the LHIN and Sault Area Hospital to meet ourneeds and continuing to make presentations through thosebodies. It is hoped that a presentation to the LHIN can beprepared jointly by the Committee and the Sault AreaHospital.

With the Sault Area Hospital’s decision on closing MMHdeferred, the Committee is currently seeking a seat on thenew Minister’s Panel on Northern Healthcare, currentlybeing formed, to ensure that Central Algoma’s healthcareissues and concerns receive the appropriate attention fromthe decision-makers. This process could drag out for at least6 to 8 months. In the meantime, the Local Health IntegrationNetwork (LHIN), who are ultimately responsible for fundinghealthcare in our area, will be conducting their own studiesand information gathering, as well as working with outsideexpert consultants they bring in to help in the evaluationprocess.

One ray of hope is the news that Peter Vaudry, a resident ofthe Soo, has now assumed the role of Chair of the North EastLocal Health Integration Network, replacing MathildeGravelle Bazinet. In addition, Ms. Bazinet is reported to havestated that, in her opinion, Matthews Memorial Hospital rep-resents an excellent model for all of Ontario, and shouldNOT be closed.

The Committee’s Phase II Strategy will see increased activityon the Public Relations and Media fronts, including peti-tions, more ‘Town Hall’ meetings, rallies, political network-ing, and writing letters – lots and lots of them! Anyone whocan hold a telephone or pen, type on a keyboard or dictate tosomeone can and should make their feelings known! TellDavid Orizetti and Mike Brown, our MPP’s, Tony Martin,our MP, and Peter Vaudry, the new LHIN Chair what weneed, what we’re prepared to do to get it, and maybe evenwhat we’re prepared to do if we don’t get it!

If you have access to the internet, visit the LHIN’s website:www.nelhin.on.ca, click on ‘Engage 2009’ and accept theirinvitation to ‘Tell Us What You Think’. You can also emailPeter Vaudry at [email protected], or call him at1-888-906-5446.

You can also tell them in person! The North East LHIN ishosting an ‘Open House to Seek Input into SettingHealthcare Priorities’ on Wednesday, June 17, from 2 – 7 pm

Take ACTIONfor an INDEPENDENTMatthews Memorial

Hospital!Saturday, June 20th, from 9 am to 10 amJocelyn Community Hall on P Line Road

The Committee for an Independent Hospital, sponsored by theTownship of Jocelyn, will be launching its Action Plan for preserving

Matthews Memorial Hospital – as a locally-managed Healthcare Centre thatdoes NOT rely on the Sault Area Hospital for its continued existence.

The Committee has been commissioned by the Township of Jocelyn toactively seek out and implement strategies that will ensure the long-term health

and stability of Matthews Memorial Hospital as a locally-managed,independent healthcare centre for our community.

As a key first step, the Committee will be engaging its own professionalhealthcare consultants, to provide our community with the information and

expert support needed, to build a business case that will be acceptableto the Provincial governing bodies for healthcare funding.

Do YOU want to take action to secure our hospital’scontinued good health?

Take the first step. Be there!

Everyone who wants to take an active role is welcome.Coffee will be ready at 8:30 am.

In the meantime, the Steering Committee will remain focused on the ‘Big Picture’,which it views as being tied closely to the Sault Area Hospital. “We need a healthySault Area Hospital, because we are PART of the Sault Area Hospital.” said Co-ChairTom Dalton. “We need to understand that the delivery of healthcare is changing, andthat hospitals may not necessarily be ‘everything’ any longer.”

The Committee will strive for keeping a clear objective, and will continue to challengethe LHIN and Sault Area Hospital to maintain and improve upon the services provid-ed to our community. They will seek to determine and understand what the LHINand Provincial government truly want and need, in order to negotiate solutions thatwork. Negotiations will be conducted on the understanding that we are indeed nego-tiating ‘in good faith’ and the committee will do its utmost to maintain a good work-ing relationship with the provincial healthcare bodies and the Sault Area Hospital.

And, while the summer unfolds, we’re sure that the Matthews family will be followingthe hospital story with a great deal of interest and concern. We must win our hospitalback, so it can continue to perform the community services for which it was intend-ed! We owe them that!

My mom has a lead foot, so I was not surprised when ahighway patrolman pulled us over as we were drivingalong the freeway. Hoping to get off with a warning,

Mom tried to appear shocked when hewalked up to the car.

“I have never been stopped like this before,”she said to the officer.

“What do they usually do, ma’am,” he asked,“shoot the tires out?”

Sometimes the best solutions are thesimplest! Here’s a suggestion wereceived from our sister-in-law:

An open letter to Stephen Harper,Prime Minister

Dear Mr. Harper,

Please find below my suggestion for fix-ing Canada’s economy. Instead of givingbillions of dollars to banks and carcompanies, who will just squander themoney, use the following plan:

There are about 20 million people over50 in the work force. Pay them $1 mil-lion apiece severance for early retire-ment with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Twenty millionjob openings - Unemployment fixed!

2) They MUST buy a new Canadian car.Twenty million cars ordered - AutoIndustry fixed!

3) They MUST either buy a house orpay off their mortgage – Housing Crisisfixed!

4) They MUST send their kids toschool/college/university – Crime ratefixed!

5) They MUST buy $50 ofalcohol/tobacco/gasoline a week...there’s your money back in taxes!

It can’t get any easier than that!Yours Truly,Sonja Ness

Woodstock, Ontario

P.S. If more money is needed, have allMembers of Parliament pay back theirclaimed expenses and second homeallowances.

Making a donation to Matthews MemorialHospital?

If you want your donation to go directly to MMH, you must make your chequepayable to theMatthews Memorial Hospital AUXILIARY – NOT just to theHospital.

If you don’t make this important distinction, your donation will actually go to theSault Area Hospital.

Although both are excellent causes, you should be able to ensure that your moneygoes where YOU wish it to go!

QUESTION: A young sales rep at one of the local big boxstores told me that Microsoft will stop support for WindowsXP by end of 2009. I have a Windows XP computer. Whatshould I do?

The young sales rep might have given you the wrong impres-sion and is trying to convince you to buy a replacementcomputer sooner than necessary. Officially, Microsoft listsApril 2014 as the end to any support programs. That’sanother five years. The end of support for an OperatingSystem such as the venerable Windows XP will not causecomputers running XP to crash globally on that fateful day.No more support means that Microsoft will not have techni-cal support staff manning phones to answer questions; and,Microsoft will stop releasing security patches and makingany further improvements. Windows XP market share is64% according to recent surveys. This means that 2 out ofevery 3 work or home computers has Windows XPOperating System installed. Large corporations with hun-dreds and thousands of workstations running XP have sig-nificant leverage in deciding what Microsoft will do. Re-licensing vast numbers of corporate PCs is costly and, so far,companies are resisting the move to Vista. By year end,Microsoft will ship Windows 7, a revised or rehashed Vista.If corporate customers decline this newer MicrosoftOperating System, we’ll continue to see Windows XP aroundfor a long, long time. Don’t worry, your old XP computerwill continue to truck along safely into the next decade.

QUESTION: I have never been satisfied with my new Vistacomputer. I simply do not like the Vista Operating system. Isthere any way to downgrade this computer and installWindows XP?

ANSWER: Dissatisfaction with Vista is common.Underpowered PCs can be especially frustrating. If you com-puter has less than 3 or 4 gigabytes of RAM, a downgrade toXP will turn your wimpy computer into a tire-burning per-formance machine. To check how much RAM you have onyour Vista computer, go to Start, Control Panel, and thenSystem. Be sure to backup all you personal files before start-ing the downgrade. You need three items: a Windows XPOperating System installation CD, a valid XP license, andlots of patience. The XP installation CD and license must bethe same version: XP Home Edition CD and XP HomeEdition license; or, XP Professional installation CD and XPProfessional license. The only wrinkle is finding the correctXP drivers. Computer manufacturers list Vista and XP driv-ers for most computer models. For help, visit forums dis-cussing downgrade procedures, or Google the following key-words: downgrade to XP.

SILENTAUCTION

Here are a few easy ways to makemoving in a little harder for mice.

TAKE A LOOK AT what’s around your building. Althoughthey’re capable of travelling a few kilometres, mice usuallyonly roam within a 9-sq-metre range. So if you can keepwoodpiles, garbage pails or compost heaps away from yourhome and limit the sheltering vegetation, they may never getclose enough to discover what a great place it is.

You might also stop putting out birdseed, since a portion willinevitably end up on the ground. “By feeding the birds you’refeeding the mice and they’re going to produce more mice. Soyou’re asking for a larger population around your home.”

Block all the holes, for mice are the Houdinis of the animalworld. Their small bodies and tiny skulls allow them to slipthrough spaces as narrow as 6 mm. If you can imagine it,they’ll do it, and once one mouse has been through, others

will surely follow.

Mice lay down a chemical odourthat’s almost irresistible totheir colleagues. The biggest

mistakemost homeownersmake isthat theytry to

attack the prob-lem from theinside. They

see the mice comeout of the floorboardsor out from under a

panel, so they block that. The mice still get in, butthey just go into the walls. You have to stop them where theycome into the building. The most common entry points arethe holes for plumbing and wiring. Steel wool is the beststuffer, since it pushes into small holes and even mice don’tlike crunching on it. For larger spaces, use concrete or galva-nized metal mesh; caulking is simply an amuse-gueule on themouse menu.

If the mouse does get in, it’s more likely to stay if it discoversthere’s plenty of food for the taking. Clean up the crumbs.Store food in the fridge and in metal or glass containers. Tothwart truly persistent mice, line a food-storage cupboardwith tin or mesh (though your energy might be better spenttracking down that elusive outdoor entry hole). The absenceof a smorgasbord won’t discourage all mice, however; deermice do bring seeds and other food inside with them. But ifthey get in and smell something, it could mean the differencebetween three or four mice moving in or 30 or 40.

ANOTHER ARTIFACT STORY you ask? Yes, we would liketo share this with you, to not only pique your interest, but toencourage you to come to the museum this summer. Shirleyand Chuck Meeks gave us an interesting copy of an oldphoto. Since moving to St. Joe in 2005 they have become anintegral part of not only the Grace United Church commu-nity but the community at large.

The photo they said was of George Robinson and he wasdressed as a Métis holding a flintlock rifle and all. Well, myinterest was piqued and I decided to do a little research.

The photo had been given to Shirley by Phyllis Skaggs, so aphone call told the story. George Robinson was her grandfa-ther and her parents were Oscar and Vera Honsberger.Phyllis lives in Sault Ste. Marie, but was born on St. Joe, July1st (I won’t say what year), but her father was working thelog boom when her mother went into labor, so she came byboat to Matthews Memorial Hospital, barely making it intime.

Phyllis had two brothers, Milburn and Norman (Dutch).Milburn is still living and like Phyllis is sharp as a tack, soshe tells me.

George was the son of John Robinson, who came here in1879, with his wife Rebecca Walker, and eleven childrenfrom Markham, Ontario. I found a Sault Star clipping aboutJohn. John settled on the Huron Line took up farming, wasan avid horseman, and lived to be 89. From the Bayliss fileshere at the museum, I learned that he came by ship, TheNorthern Queen, and the first white families personallyknown to him were the Grextons, Kents and Youngs.

Now back to the photo: it is said George was quite a hamand acted in many of the plays put on in the good old daysbefore radio, TV, and the internet took over our lives. Nowwe know why a man whose ancestry was of English, Irish,and Scots was dressed as a Métis. Now we know the rest ofthe story.

Two elderly women were in a beauty parlor getting theirhair done, when in walked a young chick with a low-cutblouse that revealed a beautiful rose tattooed on her chest.One woman leaned over to the other and said, “Poorthing. She doesn’t know it, but in 50 years she’ll have a

long-stemmed rose in a hanging basket.”

PEOPLE, IT SEEMS, will go to great lengths to keep fromgetting bitten by mosquitoes.

The new propane traps work by enticing mosquitoes, send-ing out a message that there's a meal of blood in the area.They do that by mimicking human breath. The propane gasemits a warm, moist carbon dioxide plume, which attractsthe blood-seeking insects.

As the unsuspecting bug approaches the source, it's suckedinto a net where – instead of feasting on a nice plump, juicyhuman – it dehydrates and dies.

The devices may also combine certain chemicals with thecarbon dioxide, to attract a broader range of mosquitoes.

There are other – low tech – methods to keep the mosqui-toes from biting that some people swear by. Trouble is theydon't work, according to Health Canada. The agency saysthere are basically two ways to protect yourself from mos-quitoes and other biting bugs: physical barriers and chemi-cal barriers.

You can put a layer between you and the bug. Wear long-sleeved shirts (sleeves down, buttoned or zipped, tucked intopants) and long pants (tucked into socks or footwear). Youcan also wear light-coloured clothing, which wards off somebugs

... and then there’s Mosquitoes!

You can use a mosquito net. But keep in mind that mosqui-toes can still bite you if your skin is against the mesh.

‘Natural-based’ repellentsAccording to Health Canada, most repellents containing"naturally derived," or synthetic analogues of "naturally-derived," materials aren't your best protection against aswarm of hungry mosquitoes.

Some do repel mosquitoes, but not for very long. Productsmade from oil of citronella will generally buy you between30 minutes and an hour of mosquito-free time. HealthCanada also recommends that you don't rub the stuff onyour skin. There are concerns that citronella repellents onskin may be a risk to your health.

Despite some controversyHealth Canada maintainsthat the best protectionagainst biting mosqui-toes continues to berepellents that containDEET as their activeingredient. The higherthe concentration, thebetter the protection.
