FOR THE JOHN JEWITT CAMPAIGN ANUMMEMMI, Every year police forces from across the province and around the world hold a "law enforcement torch run" to raise money for the Special Olympics. These are Olympic-type games for mentally challenged adults and youth with competitions held in several countries worldwide. As a way to raise funds this year, Constable Lincoln Dinning attended F. E. Madill High School in Wingham and issued the following challenge to the students. "If you can raise a minimum of $1,000 for the Special Olympics, you can shave my head." A teacher at the school thought this was a good idea and volunteered to shave his beard off, if the students double the "fee" and raise $2,000. The teacher, Andy Jones, has had his beard since his late teens, and even his wife has not seen him clean shaven. The students plan to sell tickets for $1 each with a draw being held for the chance to shave Const. Dinning's head. The students have until June 5 to raise the money. Officers from Wingham and Goderich OPP, and Goderich and Clinton municipal police services will join police services throughout the province to raise funds for the Special Olympics. The Torch Run for this area will take place June 6, beginning at Haugh Tire, in Clinton, at 10:30 a.m. This year's local participants will run from there through Clinton; go from Zehrs on the outskirts of Goderich, arriving there about 11:15 a.m. From Zehrs they will run to the Square and then to the municipal police station. At approximately 1 p.m., they will go to Colborne Central School, where arrangements have been made for the Colborne students to take part. At 2 p.m. the runners will move on to Blyth and then to Wingham at 2:45 p.m. Anyone wishing to participate or donate may make pledges at either the Wingham Police Department or the Wingham OPP.
