For children secondhand' smoke

It is also the number one preventable
cause of death in Canada.
Bars & Restaurants
"Who is going to fill the seats in
my bar when these non-smokers
don't show up?" questioned Sue
Bursey of Northern Nights Bar and
Grill.
Bursey said she had seen an
increase in people from Teeswater
and Formosa at her restaurant since
Bruce County
Shp -1-
County went smoke free in
Septem _,.- also noted when.
bingo in Wingham went smoke free
it quickly closed.
Mayer said he talked with a
Teeswater restaurant owner who had
lost more than 40 per cent of
business since a county-wide
.cooking ban went into effect.
Alun, Elais of the. Riverboat
Restaurant said the county should
wait until the provincial government
comes out with its own regulations
expected in 2005.
"We should shelf this." Elais said.
Bursey also questioned the
accuracy of the survey done by York
University. She said that the bylaw
should be put to a referendum vote
and then all people could have their
say.
"Let people make the choice,"
Bursey said.
Wi ng ham resident Karen
Blackwell agreed with BUrsey.
"It frightens me that a handful of
people can dictate what people can
and can't do with their own
business," Blackwell said.

Letter to
the editor
THE EDITOR,
Recently I found my grandfather's
recruitment papers for WWI. In it it
listed his place of birth as Brussels,
ON.
His name was William John
Harvey McFadzean and his date of
birth was Apr. 9, 1894. He listed his
next of kin as William McFadzean,
and although he was in Elkhorn,
Manitoba at the time of enlistment,
it is assumed he would have been in
' Brussels at the time of my
grandfather's birth.
Could anyone point me in the
right direction, on where I may find
further family infOrmation. 1 tried
the 1842 Assessment list (which is
excellent by the way), unfortunately
it appears that our family was not
there at that time.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Brad McFadzean

cancer because of secondhand
smoke.
Krugel, a cancer survivor herself',
represented the Huron-Perth
Canadian Cancer Society and voiced
her support for the ban.
"Most of you have been touched
• Picture frames
• Bookends and figurines
• Velvet clocks • Ring boxes
• Teddy Brown family
• Dogs, Bears & Cats
by cancer in some way," Krugel
said.
In fact, one in three people
develop cancer during their life and
lung cancer is the largest percentage
of cancers.
"This will also reduce everyone's
risk," Krugel said.
Linda Wall, a chemotherapy nurse
at the Wingham and District
Hospital, presented a letter from the
hospital voicing their support of the
ban.
"Secondhand • smoke creates a
problem," Wall said.
The Huron Heart and Stroke
Association also urged council to get
the ban in place with the proper
support and sufficient enforcement
as soon as possible.
A Clifford-area man, Murray
Mulvey, who supported the ban, said
he, met two men dying of lung cancer
in London hospital last year. He said
the men commented that they
thought it would be harder to quit
than it has been but it was too late
now.
Exemption requests
Three organizations asked the
county councillors listening to the
meeting to consider an exemption.
Archie MacGowan of Braemar
Retirement Centre in Wingham
asked council to give special
consideration to people who live in
nursing homes.
Currently there is one smoking
room for people to use.
"It's a violation of rights,"
MacGowan said.
MacGowan said the residence is
their home and_people should have
the right to smoke in their own
home. _
"I'm certainly not about to tell a
veteran in the dead of winter that
they have to go outside and smoke,"
MacGowan said.
Harrison said that a lot of revenue
is generated from people who come
in for a drink and a smoke at the
Legion.
The Wingham Sportsman Club
also asked for an exemption from the
bylaw because they were a private
club with members who pay to
belong and choose to be in that
atmosphere.
More meetings
Wingham's meeting was the first
of three county-wide public
meetings.
There will be another meeting
tonight, November 20 in Clinton at
the OMAF office on Don Street
from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and again the
next week Wednesday, Nov. 26 in
Exeter at the South Huron
Recreation Centre on Victoria Street
