By Jason G. Antonio Advance Reporter Melville will be down to three doctors come Sep- tember, but plans are in place to recruit two new phy- sicians to ensure the community has a complement of five full-time medical professionals. Dr. Chelsea Cottingham has worked out of Dr. E’s Clinic on Queen Street since July 24, 2017, but her one-year contract expired recently. She is leaving to focus more on women’s health issues. Dr. Majak Beny has worked in Melville for 14 years and is leaving in September for personal reasons. Although Melville will be short-handed for a while, a replacement has been found for Beny, explained Dr. Johan van Zyl. A Nigerian-born Yorkton doctor, Dr. Muhammed Abdulhardi, is going through the Saskatchewan In- ternational Physician Practice Assessment (SIPPA) program to ensure he is competent to practise medicine in the province. If Abdulhardi passes the assessment, he would start practising medicine in Melville in January. “He is a very nice gentleman. He will fit in very nicely,” said van Zyl during the Melville and District Shirley Schlechter, a care aid at St. Paul Lutheran Home, hangs out with resident Agnes Farkes while the latter waits for new Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee’s popcorn to be popped, during a popcorn sale on July 18.

For years and years I haven’t gone to work. Working from my home Rural office means I simply get out of bed, saunter 10 Roots steps to my computer and work the day away in my Christalee pajamas. This laid-back Froese routine is often inter- spersed with doing the dishes, laundry and a bit of weed pulling in the garden. While I love my home office, there’s always been a part of me that has missed going to a “real job” and having “real co-workers” and a “real office.” It’s not that I don’t love the comfort of my pajamas (all day long), it’s just that I’d occasionally like to wear “real clothes” (like maybe pants with a zipper) and stand around the water cooler talking about important stuff like what movies my co-workers suggest I watch or supper ideas I can steal. After 19 years of working from a home office and being sure that I would never return to a “real office,” a strange and wonderful sight came into view last week. I happened to drive by a beautifully renovated building while on summer vacation in British Columbia. It was the vaulted ceiling and floor-to-rafter windows that Rural crime stats a wakeup call caught my attention.
