Group discusses doctor recruitment
DAVIDSON— Worried about physician recruitment and retention a group of concerned citizens attended a Sept. 11 meeting of Davidson town council’s medical liaison committee.
Their presence at the special meeting was unexpected. The committee, which is made up primarily of members of Davidson town council, had called the meeting to discuss recruiting a second physician to Davidson.
“Heartland Health and the town of Davidson have been working to get another physician in Davidson,” Davidson Mayor Clayton Schneider told the group at the start of the meeting. “This meeting is to be proactive in regards to what it’s going to look like.”
Money has been put aside by the provincial government to have another doctor in this area, Schneider said. A second physician is needed so there is 24-hour emergency coverage out of Davidson Health Centre, he said.
“As a group we are concerned that you guys are taking on a huge load,” Gloria Cool said. She suggested that the medical liaison committee should have more members to include representation from rural municipalities and neighbouring towns and villages that use medical services located in Davidson.

DQ Grill & Chill opening soon
DAVIDSON—Ever since a huge DQ Grill and Chill sign went up on Highway 11 Trevor Dieno has had to turn away potential customers.
The much-anticipated restaurant isn’t open for business, but it will be very soon.
“We feel terrible people walk in and we can’t serve them. All day and every day, pretty much since the sign went up,” Dieno says of the steady stream of people who stop for a tasty treat.
The sign, which at 45 square feet is the largest DQ sign in North America, acts as a beacon to the travelling public.
If the weather co-operates, meaning it doesn’t rain much, and the contractor can pave the parking area, Dieno projects the Grill and Chill will be open for business the second week of October.
This will be sweet news to many.

Enterprising Situation
The road to Davidson’s water treatment plant will now be known as Enterprise Lane.
Town administrator Gary Edom said the road needs a name due to the new business developments in the area.
Council agreed with a suggestion from the Dienos to call the unnamed street Enterprise Lane.
“I like it,” Schneider said.
Fall work bee planned for cemetery
At its meeting Sept. 16. town council decided to hold another work bee at Davidson Cemetery.
The plan is to pick a day the week of Oct. 13 and invite volunteers to come to the cemetery to do a fall cleaning.
“This will give a nice look to the cemetery before the snow comes,” Mayor Clayton Schneider said.
It will also help reduce some of the maintenance work at the cemetery come spring.
A work bee was held in the summer at the cemetery. For every volunteer hour of labour during the summer work bee, the town donated money to the volunteer’s designated charity.
