Brussels council briefs No conflict of interest for appointee The already crowded council chamber at Brussels Municipal office Monday night was packed even tighter when 21 members of the Brussels Cub Scout Pack attended the first part of village council. Along with several other spectators the Cubs made for a standingroom only audience. The Cubs left after about 15 minutes.***** After concerns expressed at last month’s council meeting about a possible conflict of interest on the part of local insurance and real estate agent Keith Mulvey in servingonthe Brussels, Morris andGrey industrial committee, council learned that there is no reason for concern. Clerk-Treasurer Hugh Hanly reported talking to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and learning that since Mr. Mulvey would not be going out seeking business for himself, he was not in any conflict ofinterest. If ithappenedthata business being lured by the industrial committee wanted to buy land he was trying to sell, he should declare conflict of interest and not take part in any discussion.***** Following up on a query about no parking signs near main-street intersections that arose at the ratepayers meeting last month, councillors decided that signs were too expensive to install so mark­ ings will be painted on the street to indicate there should be no parking near intersections. Council has asked for a second opinion on repairs to the chimney on the village library. Councillors had been given one quote for repairs and repointing of the brick but wondered if the chimney would be taken apart down to a point where it is crooked and rebuilt. They will decide which course of action to follow after getting more information.***** Donations for $250 to the Town and Country Homemakers and $125 to the Wingham and District Association for the Mentally Re­ tarded, and $100 to the Salvation Army were approved by council. Council also agreed to donate $200 to the Brussels Fire Department to help purchase pins that will be sold for Homecoming.***** Council will set up a meeting with Tom Hanrahan to discuss an emergency planning by-law to make sure lines of authority and other necessary information is in place in case of an emergency.

CLINTON FARM MARKET ...................................... Just in time for Mother's Day Weekend Cathy McGavin Continued from page 14 program. Some of McMasters former placements are the Crippl­ ed Children’s Centre in St. Cathar­ ines, St. Joseph’s Hospital in Hamilton, Wingham District Hos­ pital and St. Joseph’s hospital in London. When faced with a need for another placement, Cathy McGav­ in realized that the Community Psychiatric Service in Goderich was under the direction of an occupational therapist, Joy Day- mond. McGavin’s insight and research in finding this clinical placement opens the doors for future students. McGavin discussed occupation­ al therapy and the misconceptions about this field before she returned to her in-class studies. She reveal­ ed the OT is often confused with physiotherapy which deals with the physical dysfunctions of a patient. OT looks at how the disability affects everything the persondoesanddealswith both the mind and the body. The goal of OT, the 21 year old McGavin said is “to maintain, promote and im­ prove a person’s overall function which has been disrupted because of a health or life crisis.” OT is a “very interesting career for people who are interested in working with people and enjoy a challenge” McGavin concluded. 10” HANGING BASKETS •Non-Stop Begonia's •Ivory Geraniums Choose a nice card from our Large Selection! for Mom: • Jewellery • Crystal • China • Scented Stationery • Jewellery Boxes • Cologne, Soap, Etc.
