`chooses
money instead
of saving lives
The Seaforth ambulance station will be -
moving approximately 9 km away from
town; o decision made at Huron County
Councils Sept 7. meeting.
Despite concerns expressed. from
,Seaforth reeve Lin. Steffler, there was little
opposition to the move.
Some councillors expressed concern the
cost of building a facility would .outweigh
the savings by moving the ambulance
service out ofthe two towns. It will be 4.5
kms outside of Clinton on Highway 8: •
Usborne Township reeve Rob Morley said
Huron County needs to learn how to run an
ambulance service first before it needs to
be looking- I at how to cut costs and save .
money.
Provincial downloading will see
ambulance services token over at the
county government level effective'Jon.1;
.2001
To prepare for the take over, county
council held public meetings and hired
consultants to come upwith, a way to run
the -ambulance service. .
But county council has ignored the needs
of its .citizens over the desire to: save to
money-
in tale case of Seaforth and: Clinton,
council has 'shown it values dollars over
lives

Returned purse shows valued
individuals live in community
To the Editor:
Last Sunday. 1 lost my purse. which •
1 had set on the back bumper of my
husband's truck (I guess I'm still in the
race but not necessarily the quickest
canoe in the river). - - -
. About a half-hour later, I realized
that he had driven off,, unaware of his
silent passenger. -
Fortunately. we have some fine
people in our area and the purse,
discovered on the hussy sideroad, a
short distance from our home, was
immediately returned to a very
grateful and relieved lady by Tom. and
Lorie Maloney of Seaforth. •
The purse contained 565 cash along
• with cards. driver's -licence. a valued
piece of jewelry. sunglasses and more.
Not only were the purse and contents
intact by the Maloneys vehemently
refused to accept any reward for their
unselfish act of kindness.
One cannot value enough
individuals in our community such as
Tom and Lorie. who are truly honest
.and wonderful people. -

Play to focus on prostate cancer
"If Canadian men want to
stop dying from prostate
cancer. they have to start
talking about their health and
their prostates. It's as simple
as that." says Ken Dale,
Huron -Perth Unit President.
Canadian Cancer Society.
"MenhaVe to get the facts
and they have, to talk to their
doctors."
Prostate cancer is the most
frequently diagnosed cancer
for Canadian men. This year.
approximately 16. 900 men
will be diagnosed with
prostate cancer and about 4.
200 will die of the disease.
This means that. on average.
46 Canadian man are
diagnosed with prostate
cancer and 12 canadian men
die everyday from the
disease.
- "Prostate cancer is a
debilitating disease that's
affected 'thousands of
Canadian men and their
families." .says Dale. "Once
you're over 50. you -,should
speak to your doctor to find
out more about your prostate.
prostate cancer. and early
detection tests."
"The best action men can
take is to find out all they can
about early ddetecion and
prevention of prostate cancer.
We urge them to talk to their
doctors about early detection
tests suck as the digital rectal
exam and the prostate
specific antigen (PSA) blood
test." says Deborah Barton.
Manager. Canadian Cancer
Society.
The Canadian 'Cancer
Society recommends: that
men over 50 should discuss
the potential benefits and
risks of early' detection
testing using PSA and digital
rectal exam. with their
doctor. Men in high-risk
groups. such as' • Afro -
Canadians and those with a
strong familyhistory of
porstate -cancer. may wish to
discuss the need for testing at
'a younger age. Men can also
follow Canada's Guidelines
to Healthy Eating.

supported by other national
organizations who are

awareness of prostate cancer.
