Cottager passes away On Thursday morning this past 'week former Ripleyite Gordon Munn, now a retired math specialist from Stoney Creek, and Bruce Beach was here with an obituary account of Lieutenant Charles Benson, a 1932 graduate of Wayne State University with a B.A. degree in business and ,also a Master's degree, 1940. Mr. Benson, a resident of Redforord Township for the past 18 years, retired from teaching in 1973 after decades of service at Southwestern Commerce and Cody high schools in Detroit. He served in the Marine Corps during World War II and made two round trips to the Phillipines on a troop car - rier. He died of a heart attack on Sunday, July 17, 1988 at Botsford Hospital in Farm- ington Hills. He was 77. He was a member of the retired teachers, and of the Photographic Guild of America, and' was a member of Ward Presbyterian Church in Livonia. In addition to his wife, he is survived by a son, Fred and a granddaughter, and a sister. Service was at 1 p.m. Tuesday, at R.G. and G.R. Harris Funeral Home, Livonia, followed by burial at Pine Lake Cemetery in West Bloomfield Township (Detroit area). The family have been summer residents at Cottage 22, Bruce Beach here and are known for the past years. Practice makes perfect BY BILL HENRY Dave Sherratt grins as he scans a circle of about two dozen hot, sweaty and tired Huron County firefighters. They've been toiling in full gear much of this sweltering Friday, learning more about using basic tools to move metal and free trapped accident victims as safely, quickly and efficiently as possible. "It went well. What can I say? Twenty- one minutes ( and) you're in and out," Sher- ratt says. Minutes before, a couple of these guys were crumpled up in a retired Chrysler, listening to their peers peel off the roof before pulling them free. "If you were conscious, you'd be damn scared (of the noise)," says one 'victim,' suggesting rescuers do more next time to reassure and inform people trapped inside about what is going on outside. Others suggest stronger leadership, or at least louder instructions, fewer simultaneous activities, more regard for the patient's safety and a few other ideas which would fine-tune the extrication. But in general, they agree the rescue was quick and efficient, although it can always be use improvement. This round -the -horn session, or post- mortem, with everyone having a say, vic- tim, rescuer, ambulance staff, and instruc- tors, is the essential, immediate follow-up to what Sherratt, the chief instructor at the two-day course held in Goderich earlier this month, calls "the evolution." The workshop was co-ordinated by the On- tario Fire Marshall's Office, in advance of a plan next fall to institute Huron County rescue units in Wingham, Clinton and Exeter. But that county support will function as backup to the 15 existing units, which fire services advisor Bob Beckett says should be able to handle most extrications using the basic, $2,000 tool kit which all 15 county departments now possess. They go first, and then call for county help; never more than 12 miles away -if they need it "Approximately 95 per cent of all extrica- tions can be easily handled with the basic extrication equipment," says EVeckett, who is the district fire services advisor. That's • what the two-day course in Goderich focused on; making sure all coun- ty departments have had equal and ade- quate training with the basic kit, before the county units move into place to operate more sophisticated hydaulic extrication devices. The workshops, and the rescue dramas acted out at a junkyard northwest of town, also reinforce what the firefighters know about cooperating with police, ambulance workers and others at the accident scene. The workshop, and the planned county support unit are the latest phases, Sherratt says, in the continually evolving role of firefighters as the logical service to perform extrieations at accident scenes, as well as industrial and farm sites.
