Times-Advocate, 1987-10-28, Page 27 Page 2 Times -Advocate, October 28, 1987 Brady "Organ donation is the ultimate ex- ample of charity", gues( speaker Bill Brady told the volunteers attending the annual Appreeiation Dinner of the Huron chapter of the OntarioHeart and Stroke Foundation. The well-known broadcaster. a director of the Candian Heart and Stroke Foundation, a member of the executive committee of the John P. Robarts Research Institute, and vice- chairman of the board of directors of University Hospital, related the story behind the latest heart transplant at University Hospital. stresses On October 18 a young girl -was pro- nounced brain-dead after a rear -end collision in Vancouver. Her family asked the doctors what they could do to ensure that their daughter's death was not in vain. Meanwhile, a 52 -year-old man had been flown to London after a virus had moved.to the wall of his heart, causing ' ideopathic cardiac myopathy. The man was slowly slip- ping away. A Challenger jet left Vancouver in the early hours of Wednesday morn- ing, bringing a strong, 19 -year-old tit? L IIVIv Of Oto MUO importance of organ donations heart to London. At 10:00 a.m. the Newfoundlander had a new lease on life. Before the funeral of the Vancouver girl took place, her heart was beating in another chest. "The man will live to be a produc- tive citizen, to see his children grow. In Vancouver a little girl is gone, but part of her lives on in someone else", Brady said, adding that donating one's organs after death is "a way of becoming immortal". Brady also mentioned some of the research going on at the Robarts In - stitute. The scientists are committed to finding the answer to the devastating effeets of the "long nightmare" of Alzheimers, the killing and maiming of diabetes melitis, the genetic predispositon to strokes that hit in mid-life, and other illnesses that rob and destroy. A recent grant from the National Insitute of Health in Washington of $16;5 million in American dollars will be a big help in looking for those answers. - Brady, himself a stellar example of someone who donates many hours to causes he believes in, commended the men and women who work for the Ifeart and Stroke Foundation. He said volunteers are "the heart and soul" of the Foundation. "Being a volunteer is painless, and what you do comes back one hundred fold", Brady said. Incoming president Byron "Barney" Goldsmith singled out volunteer Don Young for special praise. Young was one of two Ontario residents to be honoured with a distinguished service award for his dedication to the Jump Rope for Heart program. Young in turn presented the representatives from the F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham with a trophy, declaring thein the winners of a challenge competition announced in the fall of 1986. Over half the school's population enrolled in the program. Huron County continues to lead the province in the percentage of secon- dary schools taking part in the Jutnp Rope lot Heart program. Arnold and Verna Taylor, Wingham, •were presented with lifesaver awards. Using techniques. learned in a class taught by chapter secretary Deborah Karcz-Howes, they were able to save the life of a man choking to death at his twenty- fifth anniversary party. This year the Huron County chapter raised $59,526, up 19 percent from the previous year. fit HEAD TABLE - Ellen Connelly (left), post president Stan Connelly, guest speoker Bill Brady, 1987-88 president Barney Goldsmith and his wife Verda were of the head table when the Huron Chapter of the Ontario Heart and Stroke Foundation held its annual Appreciation Dinner at Huronview.

Reeve Gerald Prout briefed coun- cil on his attendance at the annual meeting of the Assocation of Counties and Regions of Ontario, held in Lon- don from October 18 to 20 and hosted by Huron County.

Education levies The Town of Exeter will be represented at a, meeting of Huron county municipalities in Goderich on November 4 to discuss information from the town of Nepean regarding education levies. The print-out from Nepean in- dicated Exeter was overcharged by 39.percent for education levy due to a change in equalization factors by the province. Reeve Bill Mickle said this week, "i don't understand it, but we will be at- tending the meeting in Goderich. i understand some Huron towns have been overcharged by more, than we have." - Review grants The executive committee of Exeter council will be reviewing and -plann- ing an approach to conditional and un- conditional. grants which are available from the province of Ontario. Reeve Bill Mickle said, "The pro- blem we have in Exeter is that our in- creases don't meet inflated costs although the province maintains fun- ding at an inflated rate. We have to be equitable in relationship to other municipalities." - Mickle continued. "In -1985 Exeter received $269 per household in grants. Some other places in Huron got 20 to 25 percent more. The present system is unfair.' He added. "My personal opinion is that council should take a serious look at establishing a committee to review all conditional grants that it is possi- ble to get. That's when we could max- imize our conditional grantpsage." This year there are estimated to be 1,549 households in the town of Exeter. • ed $78.75 atter pleading guilty to a charge of using licence plates issued tor another vehicle. The fine was more than the minimum because Hart had been seen a second time us- ing the -same plate. A fine of $128 was levied against Murray A. Pepper of RR 1. Hay for failing to remain at the scene of an ac- cident which occurred October 1 at 11:20 p.m. in Huron Park. At that time a vehicle parked on the roadside of St. Lawrence Avenue was struck by a blue van that didn't stop. Three days later police checked a van that appeared to have fresh damage. The accused admitted to the acci- dent saying he left the scene because he didn't feel much damage had been done to either vehicle. Damage to the other vehicle was set at -$1,200 and that amount has been paid. Fines of $53.75 and $35.25 will be paid by Robert W. Crosby, RR 1 Londesboro for speeding and littering the highway. - Police clocked Crosby's vehicle at 101 kilometres in an 80 one on June 28 and an officer saw him t)trow something from the vehicle. Despite a not guilty plea, Donald Lane Gollan, RR 2, Lucan was fined $53.75 for entering property where prohibited. Gollan and a friend entered the Albatross Tavern at Huron Park on August 5 after being told by -a bartender and police a couple of months earlier that he was not to come back. The accused was mildly intoxicated and wanted to go outside and fight. A few patrons were going to assist in evicting him so he left. Owner Jim Parker called and eventuallytalked to Exeter police. Bartender Linda Downing was ask- ed by Parker to verify Collan had previously been told to never return to the establishment. Ivan P. Bedard, Hensall was fined $109.50 for travelling at a speed of 127 kilometres in an 80 zone on -his motor- cycleat :3.95 p. m. on September 23 on Ilighway 4. That night an officer using radar heard the motorcycle approaching at a high speed and locked it in at 132 kilometres per hour. The 'officer made a U-turn and followed the motorcycle through very foggy conditions. He could hear the bike and caught glimpse'; of the tail ' lights occasionally. The accused was following a blue pickup truck because in fog it's easier for a motorcycle to follow a vehicle. An officer up the road stopped the truck, but let it go because he wanted the motorcycle. Bedard admitted he was speeding, but not excessively.The officerset up radar at the time and proved the motorcycle's speedometer was off by. 22 kilometres per hour. He has ordered a new on one, but it hasn't arrived. ADAPT agenda ADAPT. an alcohol and drug awareness program, has scheduled a number of events at SHDHS from Oc- tober 26 to November.6.

Time capsule Continued from front page Marian Bissett, from the Exeter and District ileritage foundation. The newspapers found in the box, including two copies of the Exeter Times, one Advocate, the London Free Press, the London Advertiser, and the Canadian Churchman, are in excellent condition, but are readily available on microfilm anyway. . Unfortunately, the handwritten documents which may include biographies of the Thomas Trivitt family and perhaps a list of those pre- sent at the dedicatoin ceremony. have been seriously damaged and will be sent to Goderich for professional treatment to salvage whatever might be readable. Nevertheless, it is the two posters that have revealed some previously unknown information about the church's foundation. (inc is an invita- tion to the dedication service and the other to a concert and party at the town roller rink. "It was the first anyone knew there was a party that evening," said Vipperman. "Tradition has it that we put hack everything we find," said Vipperman, but he hopes room can be made in the cavity to accommodate another box for a 1987 time capsule. Vipperman would like to include in the new capsule letters of greeting to the next century and a statement of the Trivitt Memorial's annual Ludget along with a copy of. the Times - Advocate and the Zurich Advance. The papers will possibly be vacuum packed or laminated to prevent decay. Coins and bills with, of cours, a new loon dollar, will also be enclosed. Anyone wishing to see or touch a part of his or her church's history is invited to examine the contents of the time capsule before they are return- ed to their hiding place for the next century. The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time. y,.a.e 1., I rsn 4, r.—.., An ounce of enterprise is worth a pound of government aid.
