Big Brothers' tourney in memory of two young people
A North Huron Big Brothers
charity baseball tournament
scheduled for May 14, in Wingham,,
is being dedicated in memory of the
late Heather MacDonald and Rob
Cook.
Twenty -year-old Heather Mac-
Donald, of Goderich, died in a
tragic car accident in December
1993. Rob Cook, 15, of R.R. 1,
Cargill, died as a result of a car
accident in August 1992.
Peter Carter of R.R. 3, Walkerton
is ah enthusiastic Big Brother.
Caner joined the association last
spring and says "the rewards are
endless." Although 'he lives closer
to Walkerton, Carter was informed
he resided in the Goderich district.
He says going through the ap-
plication channels, screening,
reference checks and interviews was
"no big deal."
Caner explains that a Big Brother
is "pal, a friend, a good listener, a
role model, respectful of confiden-
ces, patient, caring, understanding,
trusting, supportive and reliable.
Big Brothers are those special
friends to Little Brothers who come
from father absent homes - through
no fault of their own.
Big Brothers must be over the age
of 18. Little Brothers are between
the ages of 6 and 16 years.
Carter says Big and Little
Brothers get involved in many ac-
tivities. "Each Little Brother is
different in his own 'special' way,
but most enjoy a movie, baseball,
football, roadhockey, nintendo,
bowling, hiking or just going for a
hamburger while taking time to
talk, listen and care..
When Carter attended a Big
Brother camp near Goderich last
September, he understood what the
organization was all, about. "I met
some wonderful Little Brothers like
- Jason, Justin, Joel, Robbie and
Jamie. All great kids! What I found
very rewarding was conversations
and activities with other Big
Brothers such as Wayne, Dave,
Frank and John.
"We all joined Big Brothers for
various reasons; loss of a loved one
or unable to have children of your
own, etc. We all came from dif-
ferent walks of life and with dif-
ferent life 'experiences, but our
goals were all identical - to help
make a difference in the life of a
child."
Carter has a great deal of. ex-
perience in organizing charity
baseball tournaments, and the board
of directors gave him permission to
host the May one in Wingham, with
the proceeds going to the North
Huron Big Brothers Association.
Carter says the definition of
'charity' exemplifies Big Brothers:
"love of . fellow men, kindness,
affection; leniency .in judging
others. Beneficence, liberality to
those in need or distress, help so
given."
Carter can't say enough about the
help he has received in organizing
the charity baseball tourney. From
individuals to service clubs to
businesses, the support both in
donations and volunteered hours'has
been great.
Entry fee for the tournament is
$125 per team, with baseballs
provided. Players lists are due May
2' and entries are accepted on a
"first come" basis. Teams will

Patient days
exceeds last
by Jim Brown
Activity at the hospital continued
to be high in February, as admis-
sions and discharges were slightly
higher than last year, chief
executive officer Lloyd Koch told
the monthly meeting of the Win-
gham and District Hospital Board
last Thursday.
"Our February patient days were
up from 1,326 last year to 1,630
this year, representing a 23 per cent
increase," the .CEO said. "This was
achieved through higher occupancy
and our year-to-date patient days
now exceed those of last year."
He said that the increased activity
would . have an impact on the
hospital's budget as there is an
increase in the number of nurses.
He added that the hospital's budget
is tailored to the patient days of the
facility.
In his report to the board, Koch
said the, hospital handled three air
ambulance evacuations since. the

near BJuevale in which one patient
was lifted to Sunnybrook in Toron-
to and the other to London.
"We did a debriefing of this ac-
cident and identified some changes
in how we should handle multiple
injuries," said Koch. "Everyone
agreed our response had been excel-
lent."
However, he reported that follow-
up in the way air transport was
arranged allowed the hospital to
make modifications when they
initiated the call for a helicopter.
"We utilized these changes for the
second snowmobile accident earlier
this month and were able to have
the patient enroute to London

of her arrival here," said Koch.
He stated that they were pleased
with the way the changes worked
