Dear Editor:
Being an avid reader of your let-
ter to the Editor, I was very inter-
ested in the letter from my fellow
friend in walking which was fea-
tured June 26, 1991. I too am writ-
ing a letter of concern for all walk-
ers.
Due to health reasons, I am ex-
pected to walk six miles or more
each day, weather permitting, and
very much enjoy my Biddulph-
Usborne Townline route.

Conference
AiLSA CRAiG - A successful
conference for Health Care Aides
and Activation Personnel, • spon-
sored by the Craigwiel Day Centre
for Seniors and Craigholme was
held at Craigwiel Gardens Wednes-
day, June 12. Fifty-three registrants
from all over Southwestern Ontario
came to hear an excellent roster of
speakers.
The theme for the Conference,
"Recycle Yourself for the '90s" was
ably set by a popular conference
speaker and seminar leader, Carol,
Bertruzzi Luciani from Oakville.
Her meaningful messages were de-
livered with dynamic communica-
tion style. Carol describes her train-
ing sessions as "painless teaming".

very cautious, when driving past

I am quick to add that I am not
walking in the middle of the road,
but on the edge in the gravel. I do
not feel it necessary that I move
into the ditch and then still not be
assured of my safety.
I would ask everyone to try to be
courteous, and cautious when pass-
ing us walkers. For some of us our
very health depends on it, and is
our only means of exercise. Please
don't take it from us.

Chief Scout Awards - From left to right are Rob Pihl, leader; Rob Wheeler, Dave Williams, head lead.
er; Chad Hutchison and Harold Burgin, leader. The three Scout leaders of the 1st Kirkton pack are
very proud of having two Scouts achieve the Chief Scout Award. Rob Wheeler and Chad Hutchison
spent a lot of time and work achieving the high honor of the Chief Scout Award. For the past three
and four years, these Scouts have hiked, camped in winter, canoed, put in fifty hours of community
service work, earned a great deal of other badges along with a gold citizenship badge to make them
qualified to be Chief SOouts. Hutchison started this Scout award in Exeter, but moved to Kirkton be-
fore he completed the program. This pair was honored at a ceremony in Southampton by the Blue
Water Regional committee and were presented with their awards by the Provincial Commissioner of
Scouts, Hugh Robertson in his kilt.

Thank you,

With her sense of humour and tim-
ing, down to earth facts and wis-
dom are assimilated in the process
of laughing at the true to life situa-
tions she portrays in her inimitable
manner.
In the workshops, "the Impor-
tance of the Health Care Aide," was
lcd by Irene Bouris of "Bouris
Health Care Education" of London.
She began by asking how many
have been referred to, or heard
someone eisc being referral to as
"just a Health Care Aide". Most
hands were raised. Following this
she asked what kind of qualifica-
tions were needed to be a good
IICA. When the list was complet-
ed, it was obvious there is nothing
Only one case
in Provinclal Court
EXETER - Only one case was heard in Pro -
f0 vincial Court in Exeter last Tuesday morning at
the Exeter Legion.
Judge R.G.E Hunter fincd David Flunking of
Exeter $750 for driving with a blood-alcohol
count over 80 mg per 100 litres . The 18 -year
old student pleaded guilty to the charge which
was laid May 17 after his vehicle was stopped in
Ushorne Township. Breathalyzer tests indicated
blood-alcohol counts of 140 and 130.
The judge gave flunking six months to pay the
fine and a 12 month driving license suspension.
Another charge of impaired driving was withdrawn.

"just" about such a person. The fact
was stressed that a person is only as
effective as what they feel appre-
ciated. Appreciation energizes a
person, while criticism and put-
downs are draining. It was obvious
by the participants expressions and
feed back that many were rejuve-
nated by and enthusiastic about
the affirmation they received for
their chosen vocation.
Nancy Holland, Activation Di-
rector at Exeter Villa led the ses-
sion entitled, "Getting Grandma
off her Rocker".
"What is the first thing you want
to do after an uninterrupted car
trip of two or three hours?" she
asked. Stretching ones legs and
heading for the washroom were
suggested. The participants were
asked to imagine being settled in a
wheelchair after breakfast for a
two or three hour wait for lunch.
Without a doubt, the connection
was quickly made! Being. busy,
she said, gives something else to
think about, Tess time to think of
ills and pains, improves the out-
look on fife and helps keep mindtt
alert. Getting involved with activi-
ties then, is important for both
mental and physical well-being.
The day was enhanced by a
lovely salad buffet prepared by the
Craigholme kitchen staff. Before
the conference closed, a draw was
held for door prizes donated by lo-
cal business people. The moral
support of these merchants as well
as the lovely gifts were a beautiful
way to cad the day.
