Scanlon says that while the CCAC is usually identified as offering home care for seniors, it offers much more than that. "People often don't know the health care services available to them and we're the one place to get all the information they need to help them," she says. Most clients of the CCAC are seniors who are either finding they need support in the home or are family members looking for help finding a long-term care facility for a senior who can no longer live at home. Waiting lists for local long-term care facilities are also maintained at CCAC. The CCAC employs 15 case managers, who are all nurses, social workers or therapists, to consult with clients and determine the best support services available in each case. "We're able to put all the pieces together for the support people need," says Scanlon. "Families who are trying to make a decision about a long- term care facility are welcome to come in and learn about the process. It's a big transition to make," she says. Last year, one in 12 Huron and Perth residents used CCAC services including Meals on Wheels, nursing care and day programs. Scanlon says CCAC also works closely with hospitals, helping to provide support services when someone is discharged from hospital. "We look after the person with the health care needs and their caregivers, who are often family members and need a break too," she says. As well, the CCAC works closely with the Alzheimer Society. A new program offered through the CCAC for the past year is a special geriatric service that used to be only available m London, providing specialized assessment for clients with more complex physical and mental health needs. "Having a local team is helping to build the expertise of our local workers so they can see the signs of mental health issues or the onset of Alzheimer's more quickly," she says. The new phone number at the Seaforth CCAC building is 527-0000. Smell of death, sound of mourning is still with Ground Zero volunteer From Pogs 1 workers would be sitting, taking a break and reading the Bible. They were looking for the strength to carry on," he said. At night, families would gather at the memorial wall on the site and Gauthier could hear the crying and moaning every night. "The mothers more than anyone - you could hear them just crying out loud. The sound went right through you," he said. Gauthier said he remembered being overwhelmed by the senselessness of the tragedy. "You just can't understand how people can be so cruel to each other." And, after a shift of "misery and death," he remembered walking down other streets of New York City away from Ground Zero where he encountered people going about their normal lives. "They would be walking along laughing and it felt surreal. I couldn't understand how they could be laughing and listening to music after what I had just come from," he said. One of the most uplifting things he encountered was the number of young people who came from all over the United States to help out. "There are some very good young people out there. They volunteered to do anything - working in the kitchen, cleaning up, serving food, handing out clothes to the firemen. It was encouraging to see that," he said. And, there were even moments of dark humour. Once an FBI agent called When It Comes To Protecting Your Assets.... Tum to the Professionals at GRAY INSURANCE BROKERS INC.

Orris lel SF4 Gauthier over to the gates and asked him to listen to what a messenger had to say, because the FBI agent couldn't believe it himself and wanted a witness. "The messenger said he was delivering a package and wanted to know where the World Trade Centre was," said Gauthier, shaking his head. While Gauthier has still not been able to make any sense of the tragedy, he said the experience of being at Ground Zero was life - changing. "I don't get upset anymore when I see small things go wrong. And, believe me, compared to 9-11, everything is small," he said. Cull -animal strategy aims to provide new markets for beef From Page 1 announced at the OCA meeting plans to establish a national "strike force" to work on the international confidence issues; continue to work on getting the Canada — U.S. border reopened to Canadian beef and have 118 full and part-time meat inspectors at work in Ontario by April 1, 2004. "There was no hope of the borders reopening at the meeting. It won't likely happen until after the U.S. election in November," said Walker. "It's pretty depressing times." Ron Bonnett, president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, stated in a press release last week that the OFA has made a number of presentations to the provincial government outlining ways the agriculture sector in Ontario can be helped by support initiatives. "We're hoping more of these recommendations will be reflected in future government announcements. We need clear signals from government of its intentions to restore producer confidence," stated Bonnett. "The OFA knows it will take more than just these announcements to restore Ontario's livestock sector to its former strength. We will continue to work with governments at all levels to achieve the return of a satisfactory level of economic return to Ontario farmers." ABCA monitors watershed during thawing conditions With rainfall and cooler temperatures expected, the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority is closely monitoring watershed conditions. On Monday, Alec Scott, water and planning manager for the ABCA, said they were expecting to see five to 10 centimetres of rain over the next couple of days along with cooler temperatures. He said that as milder temperatures continue, weather conditions are expected to create some runoffs from streams and rivers later this week. "Based on forecasts for the next 72 hours, streams and rivers are expected to rise to bank full but no serious flooding problems are anticipated during this time period," said Scott. Scott said while there is 50 to 55 per cent more snow this year than last, it is being absorbed into the 'ground rather than causing runoffs. "A slow melt is preferred and that is what we are seeing now," he said. "As long as the warm temperatures stay away, we'll see a normal spring melt." Ice thickness measurements at river mouth areas show ice is 25 to 35 centimetres thick which is leas than last winter, said Scott. But he said ice jam could cause problems in traditional areas if the river flows rise rapidly and break the ice t before it has weakened. "Potential ice breakup and jamming will remain low. In some areas, rivers and streams are starting to show some open water and ice appears to be weakening," he said. The greatest threat of flooding problems would come from rainfall amounts of more than 25 mm (one inch) in a 24-hour period combined with temperatures which do not drop below freezing during the night, said Scott. He added that there is no concern of flooding locally but they are monitoring rivers and streams near Port Franks where there is a higher level of concern. Scott said residents are reminded that the fluctuating temperatures can cause ice conditions on rivers, ponds, reservoirs and streams to become unstable. "Please use caution near any watercourses as waters will be moving fast and higher than normal. Slippery and unstable stream banks and extremely cold water temperatures will create additional hazards," he said. "So much depends on the weather." However, after recently ending a drought advisory for the arca, Scott said cooler temperatures are a good sign. "It's a nice change from the drought advisory that we just lifted in the fall," he said. "So far, things are looking normal for a spring nm -off."
