This gave us a real scare, as we often put a load of clothes in the dryer and leave the house for several hours.Perhaps this could be a jog to do when we change our clocks in the spring \u2014 after a winter of drying clothes inside.But don't wait until spring to check your vents if you've never done so, it's not a hard job, just a little time-consuming.The benefits of doing this job could be to save your family\u2019s life or home.Wendy vail) Godmancbester 373-7207 such as drums, etc.There could also be some dances performed by the group.As it is expected there will be a good turnout of music lovers at this event, it is recommended that seats be booked well in advance by calling St.Mark's Church.at 373-6642 or 373-8153 tor reservations ds soon as possible.Donations will be used towards the cost of the recent roof repairs to St Mark's.tf 1 -\u2014 YX % Wk WINDSTAR 2000: niacar fiv star safety ratings RI So WINDSTAR LX 2000 * SEFI 3.8 L engine, 200 hp * / passengers e 4-door version $ * Automatic overdrive transmission * Air conditioning /month e Power windows, mirrors and do or locks 36-month lease ° rakes h $3, e SecurilLock™ anti-theft with $3,995 Down * Airbags e AM/FM stereo/cassette oS \u2014\u2014\u2014 4 A Zs D, ee SOC REDDER] | Privacy glass not inciuded.Photo es for dustrative purposes onty.\u201cFreight included.No securtty deposit required Down payment and first monthly payment required.License.surance and taxes extra Subyect to credit approval re een me See your dear for Getads À The heghest front mpact rating for both he driver and front passenger mn U.S.government Nasonal Highway Trafic Safety Admanistrahon lesing lor veiucles win 227 kg (500 be) § \u2014 6661 LI YHANJAON \u2014 HANVATD AHL 6 \u2014 THE GLEANER \u2014 NOVEMBER 17 1999 Community M gm Eastern Star installs officers Stanley Reid at meeting in Hemmingford Victory Chapter 34 of the Order of the Eastern Star met in the Hemmingford Masonic Hall on November 5.Worthy Matron Florence Ellerton welcomed Worthy Grand Matron Joyce Dryden, General Grand Committee Members Helene Dunant and Les Drydon, as well as several Past Grand Matrons and Patrons, one Grand Officer and committee members.The following officers were installed: Worthy Matron, Florence Ellerton P.GM.;

Furcall THE GLEANER For some at-risk people living alone, having a button to push that will bring help right away gives them enough peace of mind to continue living independently.Subscribing to Lifeline (a personal emergency response system) has been a \u201cGodsend,\u201d said a 96-year-old area woman maintaining her own home.\u201cLifeline made the difference between lying with a broken hip for hours on the floor waiting for the nightly check-in from family, or being able to summon immediate help,\u201d she explained.Since Lifeline was set up in the Chateauguay Valley in 1998 as a service provided through the Barrie Memorial Hospital, it has grown from 20 subscribers to more than 130, explained program manager Lynn Caza-McCaffrey.Her workload over the years grew from, \u201cWhen you have some time, take care of Lifeline, to two years ago, \u201cIf you have any time after Lifeline, would you do some administrative work,\u201d said the former executive assistant to the BMH's Dr.Gordon Thompson.He and the Medical Centre's Tom Vandor (who initiated the local program), and representatives from the Barrie's Women's Auxiliary, the Huntingdon Rotary Club and the Ormstown Lions initially formed an advisory committee.Volunteers still help out with Lifeline installations and regular calls.Why has the user-pay service grown so much?\u201cThere's a pressing need

Lifeline button.which clients wear around their necks or wrists, is a 24-hour buddy, she said.There are more than 200 programs across Canada and Lifeline's research revealed that of the people found helpless or dead in their homes, a typical patient was an 82-year-old white woman who had been found by a neighbor during routine check.She was lying on the fic soiled, and had garbled speech.The estimated length of incapacitation was more than 72 hours.Even with these statistics, it's hard to get some people to take advantage of this type of help, Caza-McCaffrey continued.They feel it's a
