The Lucknow Sentinel, 1994-03-30, Page 8Page 8 - 1,nc•knou Sentinel. 11•ednesday, March .10. 1994 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.

"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.

"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 Children's Hospital with 75 minutes of her arrival here," said Koch. He stated that they were pleased with the way the changes worked ° for the betterment of the patient.
