Concerns had been raised that the Act would call for a total open-doors policy across the board and that extensive record keeping would be necessary which he assured them was not so. He said, “There are some ministrative changes but this just builds on the system.” noted that any municipal board or body with an information retrieval system already in place will not be unduly affected by the Act. “It provides a standard procedure, some guidelines.” Although the Act will not be in place until January, 1991 the municipal officers were urged by Mr. Sidebottom to begin preparing for the implementation. He stated they should have an information officer appointed, go over the files and complete a thorough training session with all office workers between June and December of this year. The afternoon speaker shared some inspiring thoughts on “being human”. Rev. Roger McCombe of Ingersoll, who is also a police chaplain, secondary school Latin teacher and Ingersoll’s Citizen of the Year for 1987, left the meeting on a lighter note. His humorous yet touching discussion urged the audience to focus on the four “H’s” of life: humanity, humour, hugs and happiness. Sharing anec­ dotes from his family, ministerial, and school life, Rev. McCombe’s speech had the crowd chuckling for most of an hour. “I’ve spoke to a lot of weird groups,” he told the crowd. “You qualify”. The meeting was later adjourned with thanks to the hosting municipality and closing remarks from the chairman and new president. © SOCCER REGISTRATION AGE14&UNDER Sat.
