Physiotherapy open house The Seaforth Community Hospital Physiotherapy Department will be hosting an Open House on Thurs- day, April 27, 1995 from 2 - 4 p.m. in the Physiotherapy Department. There will be a display of old and new technology. The public is invited to attend. Refreshments will be available. Carol Bowker, Rehabilitation Department Manager at Seaforth Community Hospital, says "Cel- ebrating the Past, Shaping the Future" is a appropriate theme for National Physiotherapy Week. "Physiotherapists have helped Canadians achieve their highest level of physical function for more than 75 years. They will continue in this important role, but are increas- ingly involved in promoting good health. Starting April 23, CPA members across Canada will promote their profession by giving clinics, holding open houses, mounting displays and appearing on radio and television. By attending special events organ- ized by CPA members during National Physiotherapy Week, the public and other professionals can get a clearer idea of the important role Physiotherapists play in the health care field. Physiotherapists work in many settings including: acute and extended care hospitals; rehabilita- tions and mental health centres; private clinics; community and government agencies; educational institutions; sports and recreation centres; and industry. The CPA, which provides leader- ship and direction to the profession, represents more than 7,000 mem- bers across Canada.

Robert Trick, who performs this service for various area municipalities, met with the committee earlier this month. The committee was satisfied with the services Trick would be providing, and directed staff to seek more information in some areas then report back to it in May with findings and a recommendation. In response to a question from Reeve Bill Bennett questioning Seaforth's tagging procedures, Clerk/ Administrator Jim Crocker estimated revenues of from $4,500 to $5,000 would slightly exceed estimated costs of $4,000 for such a program, and it would take the animal control officer about an hour and a half to patrol the town. Trick "noted he prefers to stop a problem, rather than face a problem," the committee's report to Council states. "About half the dogs he picks up are after hours. He charges $17 for after-hours boarding at his home, and enforces all other animal related by laws in the town (eg. poop and scoop, barking, noise, other animals, etc.)" He will visit pet owners and explain and encouragethem to abide by the bylaws. He picked up 37 dogs in Clinton in 1994, 11 owners only received warnings, 18 paid an administration fee, eight were unclaimed and seven were put down. "The first time he picks up an animal there is no administration fee - just a warning," the committee's report to Council continues. "In some of the other municipalities dog tags are not sold door to door, but animal owners are given two months to buy a tag at the municipal office. "If they fail to do so, they will receive a warning letter and are given 30 days to buy their tag and pay a $15 penalty. After 30 days they receive a personal visit. "Trick stated that Seaforth has 18 km of road to patrol and he does patrols at all hours of the day and also responds to calls," the report continues. "He will make suggestions for improving our animal control bylaws, and he would like the town to cover its share of any course fees he may take, related to the job." Seaforth opposes federal gun control legislation Seaforth Council unanimously legislation. The resolution insists endorsed a resolution from Ontario the Canadian government abandon Federation of Anglers and Hunters the sections of the legislation at last Tuesday's meeting, noting its "affecting the continued ownership opposition to Bill C-68, the federal and legal use of firearms by government's proposed gun control jpsponsible Canadians". Hullett provides minor ball The Hullett Athletic Association was authorized to provide a minor ball program, acting on behalf of Hullett Council at the municipality's regular meeting April 4. The athletic association is to annually submit a budget to Council for approval, by terms of the resolution, and the township is responsible for the maintenance of records and debt. The athletic association sent a letter to Council and attended its March 21 meeting, indicating a need for a co-ordinated approach to provide minor ball in Hullett but recognizing "that council do not have the resources to conduct on their own," according to township minutes. Council also accepted the 1995 budget of the association as presented. Thursday, April 20 to Saturday, April 27 SAVE up to 60 % OFF on FOOT WEAR FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY NO G.S.T.! NO P.S.T.!
