So you think the employees
in your business or
department are tough?
Well, you can test their
mettle and toughness in the
first team Grader Pull for
United Way on Saturday, Oct.
25.
Champion Road Machinery
has laid down the gauntlet.
The local grader
manufacturer has issued a
challenge to all businesses
and industries in the area to
assemble teams for the
Champion Pull for United
Way.
Any group, comprised of 10
to 15 participants, both male
and female, can form a team
and enter this unique
community fund raiser for the
Huron United Way.
Each team will face the
daunting task of pulling a
Champion 730A grader, a
distance of 30 metres. A
special course will be set up
in the Suncoast Mall panting
lot.
Champion will provide a
plaque to the winners, which
will be the team with the
fastest time, as well as a
complete set of special
edition Champion golf shirts.
The team raising the most
money for United Way will
receive Champion sports
bags for each member.
It's easy to participate in
this community fund raiser.
Just try and identify 10 to 15
mildly athletic or semi non
sedentary people, or in
extreme cases just pick co-
workers who watch sporting
events on television, and
form a team. The entry fee is
set at $2 per team member,
payable at the event, and each
team or participant is
encouraged to secure pledges
for the United Way.
To enter, contact Wendy
McBride at Champion at 524-
2601, ext. 5260 or fax your
team name and captain to
Wendy at 524-3081. The
deadline is Thursday, Oct. 23.
Only the first 25 entries will
be accepted and organizers
have opened the competition
to all of Huron County.
The Bluewater Tug -of -War
team, the reigning
champions, will particpate in
the event at the Suncoast
Mall parking lot from 11 a.m.
to 1 p.m.
United Way representatives
will be on hand to take
donations and issue receipcts
and food will be available on
site. The event is part of
Champion's United Way
annual campaign, which gets
underway this week.
Champion has brazenly
issued the challenge. So, get
your team together and
practice.
Like, how hard can it be to
pull a road grader 30 metres?

Will there be quality health care
when you need it?
All of us in Ontario are concerned about the
future of our health care. What we really
want to know is, if 1 get sick, will there be a
health care system in place to look after the
and my family? And where and how will
we get that care?
The Hospitals of Ontario are working
hard to do what we have always done:
deliver high quality health care. Today, new
discoveries, new drugs and new technologies
mean we can deliver care in many different
ways. What used to mean a two-week
hospital stay now takes just one or two days.
And many treatments can now be provided
outside of hospitals.
So the Hospitals of Ontario are developing
new ways of providing health care and building
partnerships to provide care in the comnnutity.
And we believe we can maintain the quality of
health care on one crucial condition: that we
don't move too far, too fast. Community
services must be. in place so you can continue
to receive the care you need.
The Hospitals of Ontario know what it
means to make changes. We've been leaders of
change for years. But change that moves too
quiddy without making sure every piece of the
puzzle is in place is not the answer. And above
all, we want to make sure your health care
system is there for you when you need it.
Want to know more about how hospitals are changing?
Gla us fora flee infomution booklet and get involved in the Rtture of your health care.
