Team to attend OHA conference Continued from page 4 insensitive gawkers. I know it is natural to be curious. The teenagers I can understand. The people who have nothing better to do than to sit at home glued to their scanners and then follow the trucks when there is an accident, have serious problems. Where is their sense of respect and dignity for other human beings? I suppose it is some consolation to know that these small-minded people who find pleasure gathering at the scene of someone elses misfortune, or even tragic death, receive little or no respect from others in the community, who upon hearing the fire sirens, continue to go about their business, leaving the fire department to do their job and only hope that it is not their loved one that is involved. Brenda J. Burkholder. THE EDITOR, For almost two years, the Wingham and Area Chamber of Commerce has attempted to convince cellular phone companies to improve service in the north Huron and Perth and south Bruce area. The Bell Mobility Sales Department has assured us that they will be able to convince their associates to construct three new cells in this unserviced "black hole" Continued from page 6 has not been confirmed. "We are planning to send a team of hospital board and staff members to a conference at the OHA on Sept. 18," said Koch. Hospital mergers and amalgamations were also discussed at the board meeting. The CEO said that a number of success stories have arisen in those areas where hospitals have dealt directly with each other rather than waiting for District Health Council studies. "It would seem that all of these mergers have been accomplished in the multi-hospital towns and cities," said Koch. "There are a few exceptions, like Orangeville, to this general rule and that merger was achieved several years ago in order to achieve a major reconstruction of the hospital." He said the story in rural Ontario, among single hospital towns, is quite different as the dynamics are different. "People expect to get health care in their own community and don't expect to have to drive to the next town to get it," said the CEO. Koch said that Mike Harris, in his campaign, picked up on that sentiment and promised to protect rural hospitals. He added that it will be interesting to see how his new government responds to its rural areas. "I have not sensed that they plan to back-off their promises and may well take a hands-off approach and allow hospitals to do what makes sense for their communities," he said. The CEO said for Huron and Perth Counties that may well mean that hospitals, through the DHC, should look at their services and see how they can provide better service to their communities, but that it would not presuppose the need for mergers or restructuring services. LE they can obtain 400 new subscribers. Three new cell sites would provide us with excellent service. We have had no reply whatsoever from Bell's competitor. Friday, Sept. 8 commenced a two-week sales blitz by Mobility to achieve this 400 threshold. Temporary sales depots will be operating in Wingham, Listowel, Teeswater, Blyth, Brussels, Seaforth and Wroxeter during this two week period. A commitment to subscribe (when service is provided) and a $50 deposit is the requirement from us, the potential users. We encourage any of your readers who have the slightest desire to use good cellular service to stop into the sales centre in your area and sign on. These locations and times will be advertised in local papers and on CKNX or call Jan Godley at 1-800-265-1892 for details. We strongly encourage your readers to sign on NOW to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain good cellular service in our area. Please sign up!
