topic before the Ontario Crown
Attorney’s Association. This year
Mr. Bruno discussed how police
and social workers can increase the
likelihood of conviction in child
abuse cases. He also gave a
demonstration of a final jury ad
dress in what appears to be a
hopeless child abuse case.
* Lt. Shepherd has served with the
Michigan State Police since 1973
and is an expert witness in the
areas of child abuse. Since 1978, he
has consulted with the U.S. Depart
ment of Justice, the International
Association of Chiefs of Police and
the Federal Law Enforcement
Training Centre. Lt. Shepherd
lectures extensively on the subject
of child abuse throughout the
States and has been involved in the
training of over 14,000 profession
als. At the seminar Lt. Shepherd
provided practical advice on identi
fying child molesters and inter
viewing victims of child abuse. He
also touched on the controversial
topic of ritualistic child abuse.
A letter was read from the
Ontario Minister of Corrections
David Ramsay who apologized for
being unable to attend. He
commented on the disturbing rami
fications of this problem and the
long-term effects caused by abuse.
He further commented on the
Kids on the Block program that
involves the use of puppets and has
just finished its first term. Eigh
teen schools participated and some
730 children have taken part.
The committee hopes that semi
nars like this will help prevent child
abuse through increased public
awareness and professional educa
tion.

Brussels More ambulance funds for Wingham
People

Sunday visitors with Lawrence
and Mildred Jacklin were her sister
Margaret Lindner and friend Wal
ter Schlueter of Waterloo.
Flower lovers who have the
opportunity to visit the Larkwhistle
Garden at Dyer’s Bay are in for a
wonderful treat. The layout of the
beds, the mixing and matching of
colours, the variety of perennials -
some traditional and some new are
among the attractions.
Lupins, columbine, oriental pop
pies and lilacs were still in bloom
this past week. Other highlights
were the many rockery plants
including a creeping baby’s breath,
wild flora native to the area,
clumps of single Japanese peonies,
a most unusual large shrub rose,
giant alliums and several water
pools surrounded by a variety of
iris.
One of the most attractive areas
was the White Garden with seating
available for those wishing to
spend a few minutes of quiet.
A camera is a must on a visit
such as this and be sure to leave
yourself time to see everything.
Wingham is one of 26 Ontario
communities chosen by the health
ministry to receive extra funding
for ambulance services.
The announcement was made
last month at Queen’s Park.
A government spokesman said
that a total of $18 million has been
allocated for health-care spending
in the province, half of which is to
go directly to ambulance services.
The funding allocation for each
community has not been broken
down, according to the spokesman.
Each hospital is to provide propo
sals to the ministry either for
replacement of vehicles, addition of
new vehicles or additional staffing.
A decision on funding break
down will be made over the next
few months.
