Special to the News Record
Ninety-five years ago, follow-
ing the return of Dr. Gunn from
WWI, a group of dedicated
women met in the Clinton
Council Chamber to answer a
request to open and manage a
general hospital.
A Board was formed, Mrs.
Walter Manning being the first
president. The women took on
the responsibilities of finance,
administration, furnishing and
staff recruitment. The first
superintendent, Miss Jesse
Grainger R.N., held the posi-
tion for 27 years.
Larger premises were needed
and in 1923 Mr. McTaggart
offered his family home, which
is still the current site of Clinton
Public Hospital.
In 1936, the men took over
the operation of the hospital
and the women continued
their work through a group call
the Clinton Community Hospi-
tal Association. In 1950, the
name was changed to the
Women's Auxiliary to Clinton
Public Hospital and later
named the Auxiliary to C.P.H.
in order to include make
volunteers.
The astounding record of
service to the community by
Auxiliary members is some-
thing in which we take great
pride. The dedication contin-
ues today with hard-working
and enthusiastic volunteers.
Last year we clocked 9065 vol-
unteer hours.
To celebrate this milestone,
we are inviting the public to
attend an Open House at
Clinton Public Hospital on
May 4 to share this historic
event with us.
OPP offers citizen self -reporting on mobile devices
Laura Broadley
Clinton News Record
The OPP has re -launched a
citizen self -reporting feature
on its website that now allows
for use on mobile devices.
Instead of having an officer
attend the scene citizens are
able to go online and file a
police report.
The service is not meant to
be a replacement for 911. The
OPP are happy that citizens are
using it for its intended pur-
pose so far. People are encour-
aged to make sure that the
incident follows strict guide-
lines. There are seven types of
occurrences that can be
reported online; lost or missing
property under $5000, stolen
license plates or validation
stickers, theft from a vehicle
under $5,000, mischief or dam-
age to a vehicle under $5,000,
mischief or damage to prop-
erty (other than a vehicle)
under $5,000, theft under
$5,000 and driving complaints.
This model for self -reporting
has been used successfully by
many police services, said Ser-
geant Peter Leon, Media Rela-
tions and Community Services
Coordinator.
The initiative was launched
last July and was re-released last
month because of its new
mobile feature. The mobile ser-
vice was added because the OPP
realized convenience would
encourage more reporting, said
Leon. Even if it's just an old bike
that isn't important the police
want it reported. Leon explains
the OPP want to know where the
crime is happening even if it
seems minimal.
"If we start to see a bit of trend
happening, not only can we alert
the public to be proactive
themselves but then our officers
will know what is happening on
our streets, in our communities,"
Leon said.
Each report filed online is
given an occurrence number
and reviewed by an officer to
make sure all the important
information is recorded. Leon
wants to stress that all the infor-
mation provided is done
through a secure network and
that citizen self -reporting is
optional; an officer will still
attend the scene if wanted.
Another notable service
added by the OPP is Text with
911. This emergency service
was launched last Wednesday
only for people who are deaf,
hard of hearing or speech
impaired in OPP service
areas. Each mobile device
much be registered in
advance in order to use Text
with 911.
