Lighting the candelabra were Challenges of spinal cord injuries topic at conference Spinal cord injuries (SCI) are among the most devastating of physical injuries. Often the result of sudden or even fluke accidents, S.C.I.’s usually happen to the most youthful, active and exuberant of our population, the majority are between the ages of 18 and 25. Therapists must help prepare S.C.I. survivors to return to the community and resume their lives. This year’s Inter Urban Spinal Cord Conference hosted at Park­ wood Hospital, September 27 - 28, addresses the “Challenges of Spin­ al Cord Injury ... From Hospital to Home”. Treatment and rehabilitation of S.C.I. survivors demand many disciplines working together to meet the psycho-social and physi­ cal needs of patients. The Confer­ ence presenters will explore issues including: vocational outcome in the S.C.I. population; coping and social support following rehabilita­ tion; independent living skills; sexual functioning; and community director and the curator of the Gaol have been discussing the amalga­ mation for a considerable length of time and had presented the first draft of their report to the Museum Committee for its consideration. The Committee made a recommen­ dation to amalgamate the two Jacquiline Rammeloo and Crystal Devlin. Master of Ceremonies was Don Sholdice. Organist was Sharon Whiesar and soloist was Julie McCall. Following the service the newly­ weds rode through town on one of Brussels fire trucks. A reception was held at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Com­ munity Centre. Entertainment for the evening was provided by Gary Pipe and Lori Parker. Video was filmed by Jim Oldfield. Photographs were taken at the beautiful home of Marie and Pierre Rammeloo by Harvey McDowell. A relaxing and enjoyable honey­ moon was spent on Manitoulin Island by the couple. based services. Health care professionals and students involved in this confer­ ence will have an opportunity to share experiences and understand­ ings with others in the field. As physiotherapist Claire Salter explains, “We’re working to build channels of communication and develop networks for all disciplines working in spinal cord rehabilita­ tion. It’s our goal to improve the general level of knowledge for spinal care; updating on current findings and the latest research.” For more information on the Inter Urban Spinal Cord Confer­ ence, and related programs dealing with spinal cord injury, contact Claire Slater or Marilyn Humphrey at (519) 685-4049.

Discussion began when Council­ lor Tom Tomes of Usborne asked if there was something else Council should be looking at before taking over the Gaol. Museum Director Claus Breede replied that while indeed there are a number of heritage sites in the County that the Museum could look at, the County does already own the Gaol building. Councillor Bill Mickle of Exeter said that the Museum should have a policy in place regarding their involvement. “We could start a snowball effect,” he said. Mr. Breede said in response to concerns over costs that while the comments were well-founded the gaol was presently operating with an accumulated surplus of $18,000, However, he did agree that this may not continue. Councillor Vanstone said that he would hate to see the county picking up places when they don’t know if it’s warranted. Councillor Tomes then made the motion to defer. ***** It was decided after some discus­ sion that the library branches at Dashwood, Molesworth, Lakelet and St. Helens will be closed as of November 30.

Warden Wilder said that Hay township had approved the closure of the Dashwood branch at its last meeting with the idea that maybe the dollars saved could improve the Zurich facility.***** The Huron’dew Committee pre­ sented a recommendation to the Executive Committee for the county’s share of the redevelop­ ment project to be paid by 1996. Treasurer Bill Alcock said that with the high interest rates he didn’t feel it should be dragged out any longer. Paying in five years instead of 10 would save over $2 million in interest. Councillor Albert Wasson of Blyth said that with landfill costs among other things getting higher there is good reasoning to wrap up Huronview in five years instead of 10. Other councillors were more reluctant. Councillor Mickle ques­ tioned why anything needed to be decided now when there had been no formal written commitment from the province to start the project, suggesting instead that it be tabled until October. It was recommended that Mr. Alcock proceed on a five and 10 year term of debenture to see both options.***** The Roads Committee directed County Engineer Denis Merrall to prepare a comprehensive speed by-law raising speed limits on selected rural county roads to 90 kilometres an hour, with transition speeds for urban areas and then consolidate previous speed bylaws into one. A letter had been received from Blyth concerning Waste Manage­ ment Administration Options. Blyth Council stated that they would be in favour of recycling when present recycling issues and concerns had been addressed and when the marketplace was ready to meet the demand and seriously participate. Blyth Council voiced concern about over-engineering in Waste Management believing that each municipality should be responsible for their own site which would hopefully result in a more respon­ sible, safe and economical waste management system. The Waste Management Com­ mittee supported a resolution from Chatham requesting that the pro­ vince implement a refundable de­ posit program for all soft drink containers and other non-refillables and that the Ministry of the Environment be made aware of this support.***** Concerning the proposed aban­ donment of the CNR line from Listowel to Wingham the Planning and Development Committee voted to ask that a hearing be held prior to any decision on the proposal, for a fair evaluation. Eleanor Babcock of the Grand View Restaurant and Don Edward of Edwards Fuels had explained the problems they were having with trying to meet the require­ ments of the Gasoline Handling Act rfw and the County set back for | ) gasoline pumps to the Roads Committee. Mr. Merrall was asked to pre­ pare a revised set-back bylaw authorizing the road committee to grant permits to install gasoline pumps less than 20 metres from the centre line of a county road. This will only be done in exceptional circumstances at existing locations where the requirements of the 20 metre set-back and the Gasoline Handling Act cannot be met.
