a pink quilt top to the home and the
Auxiliary has quilted it together
and are now selling tickets on the
quilt. The lucky winner will be

Gertie as a donation to the BWRH
Auxiliary by Harry McAdams, a
resident of Zurich. McAdams
found many a beautiful quilt
tucked safely away in the closet
that his late wife had spent many a
precious hour working on. He has
donated all his wife's quilts to vari-
ous organizations in the Zurich
area.
The past two weeks the residents
of Blue Water Rest Home have
been warmly tended to by a gentle-
man with two decades of geriatric
experience, Dr. Michael Hurley of
Walkerton. Dr. Hurley is gracious-
ly serving the public at the Zurich
and Bayfield medical practice of
Dr. Charles Wallace while he and
his wife Moira enjoy a months va-
cation in England, their birthplace.
Dr. Wallace has been medical Di-
rector of Blue Water Rest Home
since its inception, some 30 years
ago. Residents at the home also re-
ceive visits from physicians Dr.'s
O'Connor, Englert, Waters and
Lam.
The Administration of the home
is canvassing for financial support
for the wheelchair bus purchased in
July 1995. During the fall of 1995
the home canvassed all residents,
apartment tenants, the nine sup-
porting churches and organizations
who meke up the board of direc-
tors, and all suppliers. At the annu-
al meeting in June the membership
was canvassed and the home in to-
tal has received over half the value
of the machine. The home is most
fortunate and thankful that people
are already responding to the Octo-
ber 1 canvass. The wheelchair bus
has been a great asset to the home
that past year and a half and many
residens who otherwise could not
travel are able to get out and about.

A little spiritual healing
This is an extended series featuring various health topics
Town Hall.
By Brenda Burke
TA Reporter
EXETER - Angel cards. Powerful rocks. Balancing our chakras.
All were elements of a spiritual healing session at the Exeter Town
Hall last Wednesday night.
"We can stand here and tell you all
kinds of things but it needs to be felt,"
said Doris Elliot, a formers public school
teacher who now works with healing
techniques.
The demonstration included feeling the
energy of various types of stones,
meditating, experiencing hands-on healing
and choosing angel cards in an effort to focus the mind.
According to Shaman/Spiritual Teacher/Healer Carolyn Feeney,
everyone is surrounded by layers of physical, emotional, mental and
spiritual energy fields. Elliot pointed out healers are simply channels
for the healing process that takes place through these energy fields.
"Being spiritual has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with
the inner person," explained Feeney, who demonstrated how people
have weaknesses in their main energy centres or chakras, that need to
be balanced.
"In order to purify, we must go into the subconscious," said Elliot,
who regards children as natural healers. Major experiences such as
death or divorce, she added, "catapult us into spiritual healing."
Feeney teaches people how to connect with their inner wisdom and
clear emotional blocks often built up over time due to the way most of
us are raised.
"There are limitations, habits and conditionings placed on us," she
said.
In a `don't -touch' `be -quiet' society, she feels many grow up unable
The
Town 1
as they are presented each Wednesday at the Exeter
to express themselves or make the choices they desire...until they are
healed.
Due to the popularity of the six-week health series, the topics of
naturopathy, herbalism, breath and body movement, hands on healing,
yoga and spiritual healing will also be featured at the
Clinton Town Hall beginning Oct. 21.
As well, the Exeter series has been expanded to
include additional speakers and demonstrations on
Wednesday nights from Oct. 23 to Nov. 27. To be
featured, in order, are topics of network
chiropractic, massage therapy/chiropractic, Cranio
Sacral therapy, stress management, holistic health
and aromatherapy. Call 235-4003 or 235-1644 for
details.
