man
MCGILLIVRAY TOWN-
SHIP - A trial date has been set
for September 3 for a McGilliv-
ray Township man accused of
sexually assaulting a woman on
two occasions in his home, re-
ported the Parkhill Gazette.
After hearing evidence at a
preliminary trial in June, a judge
committed Thomas D'Arcy

the Lucan OPP laid two counts
of sexual assault after a woman
reported incidents at Molloy's
Brinsley Hills residence in Jan-
uary and February of this year.
DHC
receives
$260,500
for study
MITCHELL - The shortage of
doctors will be part of a study of
hospital and related health ser-
vices announced recently, re-
ported the Mitchell Advocate.
A $260,500 grant will fund the
study to be carried out by a 19 -
member volunteer board with
the support of the Huron -Perth
District Health Council.
According to the Mitchell Ad-
vocate, the board will develop
an integrated system of hospital
and health care services. It will
give immediate attention to hos-
` pital-related services such as
I. home -care, long-term care and
other support services.
The study is expected to take
six months to complete and will
include suggestions and input
from the community including
health care professionals as well
as patients. The method of ob-
taining the community input has
not been finalized however the
board anticipated public meet-
ings and hopes people will send
letters with their suggestions.
Plans to close any hospitals in
Huron or Perth Counties were
denied. The study will consider
the hospitals and the services
they provide before a decision to
close would be made.
Motion to
reduce
council
defeated
CLINTON - A motion to re-
duce the number of Clinton
Council was defeated in a vote
of nine to seven last Monday
night, reported the Clinton
News -Record.
The motion to stated this re-
duced could be achieved by re-
moving the position of deputy -
reeve and the position of one
councillor. Opponents to the
motion felt council members al-
ready attend enough meetings
and this workload would be in-
creased in seven members were
conducting the town's business.
Former
reeve dies
BRUSSELS - The former
reeve of Brussels died on July
12 at Wingham and District
Hospital in his 83rd year.
John Calvin Krauter served as
reeve of Brussels for 15 years
and was elected county warden
in 1968. He also served with the
Royal Canadian Navy during
World War Ili following which
he set up a plumbing and heat-
ing business.
"A lot of people would like to
ride bikes in the park and we want
to make it more user friendly for
them," said Matthew Penny, chair-
person of the Friend's of Pinery
Park's board of directors.
Hikers walked the 1.8 km Car-
olinian trail which features stair-
ways, benches and viewing plat-
forms stopping to talk to five
naturalists stationed along the way.
Using props, scopes and handouts,
they talked about pond life, fungi,
deer, sand dunes and the unique
oak savanna Carolinian forest often
called Canada's deep south.
The tour covered all of the differ-
ent ecosystems and organizers
hoped the hike would spark public
interest in the natural aspects of the
park as well as raise funds to build

the "Take -A -Hike' fundraiser at the Pinery Provincial Park
on Saturday. Purdy was one of five naturalists stationed
along the Carolinian trail educating hikers about pond life,
fungi, deer and the sand dunes that are unique to the
park. Hikers raised $548 which will go towards building
the 12 km bicycle path in the park.
Looting an embarrassment
IPPERWASH - The native loot-
ing and confiscation of a Michigan
couple's 29 -foot cabin -cruiser
stranded at the federal Army Camp
beach in Ipperwash is a national
embarrassment, said John Duncan,
M.P. Reform critic for Aboriginal
Affairs.
"The Michigan owner of the boat
would have had more success to
date if he had washed up on the
shores of Cuba than he is having in
recovering his boat and property
from the Army Camp beach at Ip-
perwash," Duncan said.
"The military deserted the Army
Camp last year and there has been
effectively no policing authority
over the federal land since. The res-
idents and cottage owners in the Ip-
perwash area have been aware of
many unresolved problems radiat-
ing from the area since. The federai
Minister of Aboriginal Affairs, who
is in charge of the ex -Army Base
lands, has sat on his hands."
Tourist confidence in the Ipper
wash area is vital and this latest in
cident, which is now internationa
in scope, will not help, Duncan
said.
"The federal Minister must act to
impose authority over the lands as
he has been asked to do many times
before. As a local councillor has
stated, `no one is in charge."'
"The Ontario Provincial Police
will not enter the federal property,
the military abandoned their author-
ity in 1995 and the RCMP say they
have no jurisdiction"
Duncan said we haven't seen the
end of this story.
