__J your source of strength. They're
pulling for you. Take time to sit
down with them and explain what
you are going through." Dr. Frank
Silver of the Heart and Stroke
Foundation says, "When someone
has a stroke, it can affect their
family as well. It is natural to be
frustrated. Explain to everyone
how you are feeling, and they
should be understanding. If you
find you are continually depressed
and frustrated, talk to your family
doctor. You could find that coun-
selling, or perhaps a prescription
medication, might be of help."
Dear Mr. Kennedy,
You sound like a really nice guy
to me because you are so con-
cerned about your family. Sure,
the months of rehab after a stroke
can be frustrating and tiring. I
know I was short with my nearest
and dearest a few times! I'll never
forget the advice I got. My doctor
said, "Look, Walter, your family is

HEART
AND STROKE
FOUNDATION
OF ONTARIO
About six months ago I had a
stroke. I still have some dif-
ficulties with my right arm
and hand but my doctor says I'm
doing fine and the good folk at the
rehab centre say I'm making real
progress. But I find I have become
very short tempered and I fear I'm
a real trial to live with for my wife
and for our grandchild who we like
to have stay with us on weekends.
What's your advice?

N. Huron discusses committee composition
Continued from page 3
-mated with Turnberry, prompting
Howson to note that it "could be the
stepping- stone to the next round of
amalgamation."
Including Morris-Turnberry on the
economic development committee
was "workable", said Taylor.
Howson recommended that a letter
be sent • to Morris-Turnberry
recommending they be part of the
committee. Howick will be invited
as well.
In relaying the concerns of a Blyth
group, regarding the closing of many
main street businesses, Stewart
asked that the committee give this
consideration. Layton added that it
would be good to have a
representative from each North
Huron ward on the committee.
Regarding the Wingham hospital
board, Taylor explained that a letter
must be sent informing them of who
council's representative is. This
would then be approved. Layton
asked that a "strong" letter be sent
stating council wants an. elected
representative on the board.
With regards to the Blyth
Memorial Hall board, there was
some question as to whether council
representation was necessary.
However, it was agreed that the Hall
would be best served by an advisory
board rather than a policy-setting
board and an elected representative
could best get this started.
On the Blyth • Greenway
committee, Howson asked that
former councillor Doug Scrimgeour
remain as the representative. "This is
an excellent volunteer board. (Doug)
has a keen interest in it and I would
like to see him continue."
Asked what should be the next
step with regards to a North Huron
Wescast Community Complex,
Director of Recreation and Facilities
Dan Cousins told council to "look at
the entire picture." Pointing out that
there was a board for each of the
arenas, Cousins suggested the
formation- of an advisory committee
Snowinobilers
receive
ice warning
The Ontario Federation of
Snowmobile Clubs has issued an ice
caution advisory to warn
snowmobilers and anglers that no
ice should be considered safe at this
time of year.
Despite cold weather, wide
fluctuations in air and water
temperature during freeze-up result
in unpredictable structural weakness
and variations in ice thickness.
There is no reliable way to verify
ice safety during freeze up, so to
avoid serious injury or death, stay
off the ice.

"You have all these sub-groups.
Would it not be more prudent to pull
some of these together?"
Councillor Murray Nesbitt,
however, said the difficulty right
now is that so many of the boards are
shared with other municipalities.
Agreeing that Cousins suggestion
made sense, Layton added that one
of the challenges will be in making
people see there are going to have to
be changes made in the future.
While there are still civilian
appointments to be made, council
appointees to the boards are: North
Huron Police Service board, Layton,
Councillor Jim Campbell; Wingham
Area Fire board, MacGowan,
Councillor Murray Scott; Blyth
District Fire Area board, Howson,
Campbell; Blyth and District
Community Centre board, Nesbitt;
