Main breaks Old pipes combined with increased pressure from the town's new water tower caused a watermain to break at Main and Centre Streets in Scaforth at about 5 p.m. on Aug. 12. No sooner had pub- lic utility workmen repaired that and turned on the water, when there was another break at a hydrant farther north on the street. PUC manager Tom Phillips says worn out pipe combined with greater pres- sure from the town's new water tower were contrihut= ing factors. Workmen finally made it home about midnight.

Horse spooked, child dies A one -year-old Wingham- arca child died of a head injury hours after being air- lifted to London's Sick Children's Hospital after being kicked by a horse last Wednesday night. Ontario Provincial Police say Amos Martin "was struck in the head by the hooves of the hdrse as it was prancing about." His father, Manassah Martin, 34, "was removing the horse from the Karn when it spooked, knocking over the child" at about 8 p.m. on Conc. 16 of Howich Township. Police say "the father took the child to the house and then went to a neighbour for help, due to no phone or owning a vehicle." The child died at about noon. Seaforth hospital was ready Motocrossers made of stern stuff They're a stoic hunch who don't complain about thc pain. That's what Scaforth Community Hospital staff have to say about the flow of motocross riders who come through the emergency room during the four-day Canadian National Motocross Championships. "They certainly deal well," said Jane McNaughton, an emergency room nurse on Friday of thc patients who come through, often with mul- tiple fractures that will require surgery and weeks of follow- up with their hometown doc- tors. Most of thc crashes take place in the afternoons, during competition. Practice runs are held in the mornings and don't result in as many patients as the actual races. While the emergency room might by busier in the after- noons, McNaughton said it's not like an emergency involv- ing a bus accident where extra staff and supplies might be needed. The emergency room is equipped to handle the extra patients thc motocross races provide. While extra staff aren't required in the emergency room, there is usually an extra person called in to work in x- ray. That's because of the extra demand for a closer look at what type of injury the per- son might have. "It keeps us busy," said McNaughton. But she said they arc a good group of patients who don't complain. She thinks it's because some of thetn have been through it more than once. Last year, she recognized thc father of one racer after having treated that racer's brother thc year before. Many of the injuries are serious and McNaughton said they require surgery. They will stabilize the patient and try to transfer them to their home town hos- pital where they can he seen by a doctor who will treat them through surgery and the weeks of recovery that fol- lows. In the Seaforth emergency room, the Tess serious are placed in casts. "You certainly get experi- ence putting on casts," McNaughton said. But some crashes at the race result in serious injuries and they have had to stabilize rid- ers with head injuries. • SEAFORTH `JR D' CENTENAIRES TRAINING CAMP THURS., AUGUST 27 8:30P.M.
