Music in the Fields was a fun day
I have to say that I had a blast at
Lucknow's Music in the Fields
this past weekend. I'm not the
biggest country fan in the
world, but I. will admit I have a
new found respect for the music
genre.
The atmosphere of the
event was great, especially
for me because I was priv-
ileged enough to be able to
hangout in the hospitality.
area and see all of the artists pass
by.
• One of the highlights for the -day
was being thrust up in a bucket
truck so that I could take some
pretty cool aerial shots of the
entire venue. I was able to see
just how- much work actually
went into the concert.
My parents were also there
to enjoy the day with me.
They are = real country
fans, and got a real kick
out of the great perform-
ances throughout the day.
I would also have to say
that Randy and Mr. Lahey of the
Trailer Park Boys were hilarious.
Great job Kinsmen/Kipettes and
volunteers
Busy summer for health
Dear Editor,
This summer has been a busy one for
health professional recruitment. I want-
ed to take a moment and send my sin-
cere appreciation to the community for
their assistance.
First I . want to thank the physicians
and hospital and medical clinic stafffor
the countless hours they have devoted
to interviewing, teaching and entertain -
mg the visiting physicians, medical res-
idents, physicians assistants and nurse
practitioners. Their support is vital to
the recruitment effort and goes a long
way in demonstrating why Wingham
and area is a great place to practice.
Secondly, a huge thank you to the
members: of the community who took
time out of their busy schedules : to
include our visitors in BBQ's or loaned
their bicycles so that visitors could
enjoy the trails,' Offers like this are
what sets our community apart and
professional recruitment
:::.
makes us a memorable area forpeop
when they e their final career deci-
slons.
To the Blyth Festival and North
Huron VVescast Community. Complex,
we are very lucky to have such world-
class facies at our doorstep.: Your
generous donations of activities • . and
d
entertainment make the transition to
rural life easy for visiting health profes-
sionals and will also play a big part in
final decision-making.
Health professional. recruitment is all
about work/life balance and "fit",
potential candidates want to know that.
this community will provide them with
a great place to live and work. Keep up
the good work!

New program for first-time young ;offenders
A new Informal Diversionary
Program for first-time young offenders
of the Smoke -Free Ontario Act
(SFOA) was launched across Grey
Bruce this summer. Developed in con-
sultation with the Grey County Crown
Prosecutor, the riew program offers
youth, under age 16, the option of com-
pleting 20 hours of community service
as an alternative to courts, where
appropriate.
Parents often incur the burden of the
fines resulting from a conviction; this
program holds the youth committing
the offenses accountable for their
actions. The Tobacco Enforcement and
Education Officer will work with the
youth and the parent/guardian, offering
the option of community service at a
designated facility; partnerships to date
include the Salvation Army, Habitat for
Humanity, Cape Croker Administration
office and the Grey Bruce Health Unit.
The youth are given a reasonable time
to complete the community service
hours. The youth would also be able to
use the community service hours
toward the 40 hours required for com-
pletion of their Ontario Secondary
School Graduation Diploma.
If the youth is unwilling to partici-
pate, or if at the end of the allotted time
the youth has made no effort to com-
plete their community service hours,
the Officer will proceed with the
charges and request that the courts pur-
sue the minimum fine of $250.00 plus
court costs. Charges may be laid up to
six months after an offence is. comrnit-
ted.
