Following the meal, family members adjourned to the John and Helen Currie farm for an afternoon of games and visiting. •A total of 55 attended from as far away as Peterborough, Ottawa, London, Toronto, Brantford, Wyo- ming and other points. Seniors s Day e By Ronda Bennett Last week followed a musical theme. On Monday, the Fischer family of Teeswatcr step -danced and played piano. It was enjoyable watching the "Country Cuties". Last Tuesday and Wednesday were busy with completing crafts for our Christmas bazaar. Working on our, ceramic Christmas trees made the weather feel cooler. Just a reminder: as of July 25, it was five months until Christmas. Last Thursday, July 27, a group of local musicians came toprovide several toe -tapping tunes. Guests from the Riverview Home at Tees - water joined in on the fun. Thank - you to the volunteers for this day of fun: it wouldn't have been possible without you. Last Friday, July 28, we traveled to the Alps, not the Swiss Alps, but the hilly sideroad just north of Teeswater. The Cardy family host- ed us for an enjoyable country pic- nic. Laura Cardy, our summer stu- dent, was right: the fun grows bigger in the country. In closing, here is a word for the wise: "I believe the most important decision I can make on a day-to- day basis is my attitude." Dear Editor: I was shocked to hear on the 11:00 p.m. news from London a short time ago, the statement that Dr. M. Shubat, nurses M. Hogg and M. Ashley had been charged with failing to report a case of child abuse seen at Wingham and Dis- Township expresses concern on coverage Dear Editor: Many residents of Turnberry Township have been asking why there were no pictures or written coverage of the Official Opening Ceremony for the new works gar- age, which was held on April 8, 1995. The reporter was in attendance and took pictures but they were never put in the newspaper. Several residents were unable to attend the opening, but said they would at least see the pictures in the paper. Also many concerned residents have pointed out that although the reporter attends the meetings of council, there is very little coverage printed. At the meeting held July 4, 1995, council decided to make their resi- dents aware that the editor of the newspaper chooses what items are printed and sets the priorities. Council of Turnberry Twp. Ed. Note: In reviewing the con- cerns presented by the council, the Advance -Times clarified that the Township of Turnberry received more column inches over the past year than any other council except the Town of Wingham. Mildred McClenaghan received word last week that lidyth Sealy (nee Gaunt) of Burnaby, B.C., had passed away in her 93rd year. Ken and Pearl King of Wood- stock were visitors last Saturday with Don and Jean Ross. Murray and Kim Simpson re- turned home recently from a week's holidays at a cottage at Round Lake in the Pembroke area. Wallace and Pert Milligan moved to their new home last Wednesday near Blyth to live with Allan and Norma Falconer. David and Rosemary Priess and family of Formosa have taken possession of the Milligan home. David and Kim Ross and family returned home last Saturday after spending two weeks in the Musko- ka Lakes district: trier Hospital - yet no name of the perpetrator 'given. Dr. Shubat has been our family doctor for several years and I have found him to be" thorough and me- ticulous regarding referrals and fol- low-up reports, medication, etc. I could not believe he did not report a,case of abuse and subsequently learned that he had done so, asking London (Children's Hospital of Western Ontario) doctors to report since that this is where the child and father would be for some time. He also called London the follow- ing morning to be sure the Family and Children's Services had been notified. So where is the problem of not reporting - he did as re- quired by law. It appears that vindictiveness and a policeman far more interested in laying charges than considering the rationality of his actions or first in- vestigating facts are the cause. Meanwhile, three people and three families are subjected to un- told stress, gossip, innuendoes for weeks, needlessly, because a doctor tried to handle the problem in the best way possible for the child, his father, as well as accommodating the law. Huron County FACS could do nothing until the father returned to the county except check with the London hospital, who had already been notified. There was no danger of further abuse since the child was in hospital. Almost weekly we read in the Advance -Times about efforts being made by the Wingham and District Hospital to find doctors who will practice in Wingham. This needless adverse publicity certainly won't help the cause. Who can blame doctors for not wanting to man emergency depart- ments of small rural hospitals after hours and weekends if this is the thanks they get.

These negative continents will intimidate them from playing in tournaments. The tournament experience is a learning tool and should be explored to the fullest. As ,only a few of our junior golfers choose to participate, they should be applauded. As for the headline itself, quota- tions may have been appropriate. In our opinion, feelings (terrible) tak- en out of context should not be used as a quote.
