Home My WebLink AboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1994-10-05, Page 5Steckle's method called `immature' To the editor: We are not the least impressed with Mr. Steckle's last letter. His method of dealing with problems can only be considered immature. First he seeks attention by publicizing his horrific waste of time and taxpayers dollars on a personal crusade to bring back legalized whippings and beatings into our society. Then he finds out that not all of his constituents agree with•his views and remind him that this isn't one of his campaign ,promises he made for which he was voted in. He then proceeds to throw what can only be described as a tantrum and publicly calls his constituents names (bleeding hearts), and lets.themknow that he intends to ignore their views, feelings and his responsibility and obligation to them as their MP, and continue with his crusade against their wishes. He mentions that perhaps it is time to introduce a Charter of Responsibilities and Obligations, perhaps in this he is right, especial- ly if it includes our government officials. Congratulations to volunteers for dedication To the editor: May I extend congratulations and thanks to the many people who helped to make the seventh annual Heart and Stroke Celebrity Dinner anoverwhelming success. Janet . MacKenzie, organizer, has, once more, done an excellent job and I commend her for her expertise and stamina in arranging every detail so perfectly. Janet is indeed a role model in the field of volunteering. From the first strains of the delightful dinner music to the final clean-up, the support of the people of Kincardine and the surrounding communities is the power behind the .event. Since it'would be impossible to. . • mention everyone •by naive, I need to say a blanket "thank you" and "God bless you" to all: the staff -at 'the Embassy, the many businesses who donated door prizes, Doris Bradley, for the dinner music., " Celebrity servers from the field oft medicine, Norm Dunsmoor, for the use of his P.A. system, Dr: Barr and the other' speakers,the news media, past patients of Dr. Barr's and all dinner guests. Every ticket bought realized a $7 donation to the Education and Research component. of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario. South Bruce Chapter of that organization is grateful for your ongoing 'support. Eva Wilken, •Secretary. TO THE EDITOR History teaches us that corporal punishment was taken out because it was not working, not because there was no longer any crime or violence because of it. Too many innocent people were being made to endure this tortuous' punishment without just cause. If Mr. Steckle was as determined to spend as much energy, time and taxpayers money working on a solution to the many other abused systems such as our welfare, medical, educational as well as our unemployment problems, not only would he finally be living up to his campaign promises to his constituents but to this country as well. If our laws are not being en- forced, then start by seeing that they do get enforced. If incar- ceration is not working, then start by, returning our penal institutions back to jail and prison status instead of Holiday Inns. Bringing back physical punishment into our schools would only be destroying the programs already in place, to teach problem solving and anger control without using violence. Canada is still known as one of the friendliest and safest countries in the world, even over those that sanction corporal punishment. Introducing more violence into a society, supposedly, to help get rid of already existing violence in it just is not logical. If you ,wish to have your say against Corporal Punishment but have not seen any of the circulating petitions against it in your area, just drop a note saying you disagree with corporal punishment, sign your name (and any friends or families who agree) and mail to Frank Moore, R.R. 2 Zurich, Ontario, NOM 2T0. He will put it with the many others to go to parliament. DISAPPOINTED CONSTITUENTS; Brenda and Steven Wylds. Writer finds `humor' in signs To the editor: As an outsider, I am not sure I should get involved! However, I do still visit the St. Helen's area since my wife of 25 years is from there. I currently live in the Kitchener NJatcrloo area.and am quite familiar with Mennonite buggies, and at t.46 risk of being critical I feel that no Shadows hold reunion. The Shadows, a local singing group from the early '50s, held their five-year reunion in Ottawa the end of September. Those attending were :Betty Bine (Johnston) of Windsor, Lynn Bradey (Stevens) of London, Mar- lene Crow (MacLennan) South Lyon, Michigan, Gladys Kilpatrick of Ottawa and Ruth Snelgrove (Johnstone) of Waterloo. Carolyn Brown (Gibson) of Brantford, and Gladys Chin, Scarborough were unable to attend. Already they are anticipating their next five-year reunion to be held in Windsor.. *************'*************fit*****fik* IAPLACE 1* * *• .

Sarrazin was a pauper when he died. • from page 4 • owned many properties, medicine was .not particularly lucrative due to the lack of hard currency .in New France. When he died at 75 from typhus brought 'over on one of the ships,, Michel Sarrazin was a pauper. • • "He exercised his art with a rare and unselfish charity, serving all who sought his help with kindness and grace which he dispensed e qually and with great sucdess," reported the Sisters.of.L'Hotel Dieu hospital.
