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

Health care professionals and
students involved in this confer

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.”

effective January 1991. This was
subject to completion of a satisfac
tory audit and all Gaol Board assets
to be transferred to the County at
that time.
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. Consent has been
requested from Hay and West
Wawanosh townships regarding
the closures. The Library Act states
a minimum of 1500 items is to be
circulated yearly. It was noted that
of the 1900 items that were
circulated out of the St. Helens
branch most were in block loans to
Mennonite schools, a service that
would be continued if the branch
closes. Circulation at Lakelet was

Warden Wilder said that Hay

of the Dashwood branch at its last

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.
