Jane Muegge is newly elected Chair of the Huron Community Service Network. She conducted the semi-monthly meeting on March 17 at the OMAFRA (Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs) off*. The `Trading Post' occupied the first hour of the meet- ing, as members shared up-to-date information about their agencies, including workshops and seminars occurring during the next few months in all areas of Huron County. Repoorts from Treasurer Sandi Davidson on sales of the Huron Information Directory were encour- aging. Several members commented that the directory would be of par- ticular use to churches, municipal- ities, physicians and other pro- fessionals in the County. `This book could save people a lot of time when searching for contacts or preparing mailing lists," said Bev Brown, who served on the Informa- tion Committee, which prepared the directory for the Network. Direc- tories are available from most county libraries, the OMAFRA office and from Information & Placement at 80 Mary Street in Clinton. A Membership and Community _Relations Committee has been formed by the Network which will work towards informing the public on the activities of the Network. IS THIS YOU AT TAX TIME?

HURON TAX CONSULTANTS HARRY DENHAAN MAIN ST., SEAFORTH 527-Q557 News and Views 7 Important part of healing BY DAVID SCOTT Expositor Staff Have you had your therapy this week? National Physiotherapy Week took place Mar. 13-19 and Seaforth Community Hospital was involved. Betty Duwyn, Staff Physiotherapist at the hospital, did a presentation on Mar. 17 to Seaforth medical staff on lower back strain. Rehabilitation involves the patient makg the most of their situation with the help of health-care pro- fessionals, according to Carol Bowker, Director of Rehabilitation Services. Rehabilitation can help people with a wide variety of conditions including neurological and muscular disorders, strains, sprains, fractures, cardiovascular problems and for patients who have suffered heart attacks. Physiotherapists work and consult with doctors and occupational thera- pists about the best treatments and approach to problems. "We don't work in isolation," said Bowker. "Our thrust is treatment and prevention." That philosophy fits with today's money -conscious health-care sector looking at ways to cut health costs. It helps if the physiotherapists don't have to treat patients for things that could have been prevented. For example, people can control the amount they drink and smoke, said Bowker. Educating the patient as to the nature of their problem and their role in helping themselves get better are important parts of physiother- apy. Helpful things people can do to prevent problems include practicing proper posture and start- ing a walking program. Bowker revealed high statistics for back problems. "80 per cent of people have back problems and 80 per cent of those people have recur- ring back problems. 80 per cent of people also have poor posture which suggests a correlation," said 'ker. 10 BUCKS turns into Cash in your pocket when you advertise in the 2 Huron Expositor.

The t -shirts were wom as part of National Physiotherapy Week across Canada last week. Patients who are interested in their rehabilitation and cooperate always have better success with their recovery, said the Director of Rehabilitation Services. The Physiotherapy Department at Seaforth Community Hospital is planning to alter its working hours. Beginning in April, the depart- ment will be open until 7 p.m. from Monday to Wednesday. "We find a lot of people work shifts and out of town and aren't able during the day to leave work," said Carol Bowker, Director of Rehabilitation Services. The new schedule will also bene- fit students undergoing therapy who are bussed in or take the bus to St. Michael's in Stratford. In the past they might have had to miss school for their rehabilitation. "We're hoping to offer a better service. I clunk it's a plus for the community," said Bowker. The new schedule will be imple- mented on a trial basis for six months and be evaluated in Septem- ber. As far as the number of rehabili- tation staff, the hospital employs two full-time physiotherapists and an occupational therapist works half-time. Two assistants also job- share in the department as well. * * * A new regulatory act for physio- therapists doesn't affect the Seaforth hospital staff. Private physiotherapy practices no longer need medical references 10 treat patients. But the physiotherapists in Seaforth still require patient refer- ences from doctors since they wort within the hospltal and are gov- erned by it. Physiotherapists now have their own College of Physio- therapists as a regulatory board. Priest helps Dublin people observe St. Patrick's Day Well, March 17 can't go by with- out a celebration!
