As a mother living on a farm, and as a registered nurse, I implore all parents, please don't allow your children to operate or ride on farm machinery. Every spring and summer I see children riding with a parent or alone on tractors, wagons and com- bines. Every fall, I see them riding on hay wagons and tractors, in the fields or on the roads. Each time, I am strongly tempted to stop my car and implore them to stop doing this. How many times do we have to hear of these accidents before we realize what we are doing? Our children learn about farm safety at school and in many of their homes, but we must practice what we preach. These are senseless, devas- tating deaths. As community mem- bers, we must talk to neighbors and friends we see allowing their children to ride or operate equip - Thanks to palliative workers •from page 4 toonsn ani mat makes my burden lighter." All work and monies raised through fundraising are attained by the efforts of our volunteers - board members, office workers and ser- vice volunteers. They are on call 24 hours a day, Seven days a week. A spring volunteer training course *ill run 8 weeks beginning May 11. To our very fine group of volun- teers, a heartfelt THANK YOU - thank you for caring and thank you for your commitment. Lorraine Poulin TO THE EDITOR merit they are not .old enough to understand or handle. As a nurse, children are the most difficult victims to look after. We see our own children in every face, and our own fear and horror in parents' eyes. Education, prevention and common sense will help us not .have to try and comfort devastated families. Please, don't allow your children to drive or ride on farm equipment. Children cannot be expected to handle such machinery, even with supervision. From now on, I will be stopping my car to speak with every adult I see driving a tractor wilt' a child alongside, or the parents of a child alone on a machine. I can no longer sit back and not act.. We won't change the farm accident statistics if we don't get involved, and I challenge the community to do so on behalf Of children. Debbie Selkirk STARpower .from page 4 closing ceremonies which wrapped up the week's activities. All in all I think STARpower week was very successful. I hope everybody who was involved will follow the simple word STAR; stop, think, act and review. Solving tomorrow's problems will become the responsibility of today's youth. The program has helped me to learn how to deal with conflicts more effectively and I think everyone will agree that if people would stop, think, act and review our community will become a better place.
