Home My WebLink AboutTimes-Advocate, 1981-02-11, Page 3Flu not increasing says Huron MOH Huron County Medical officer of Health, Dr. Brian Lynch says that there are not more cases of influenza this winter, it is just that they are at a different time of year. There was more'flu going around this January than there was last January. However, Dr. Lynch says that he looks at the number of cases by the winter, not by month or year. Last winter the majority of 'flu cases were seen in November and December. This winter 'flu seems to be going around later in the season. Dr. Lynch says that there seems to be an "awful lot of cases right now". He says that the 'flu going around this winter is the Bangkok strain. He says that it is much the same as the more common influenzas. As with the other strains of 'flu, Dr. Lynch says that there is no quick and easy cure. "Getting plenty of rest is the main thing," he adds. However, he says that the Bangkok 'flu can sometimes result in chest problems, which could develop into bronchitis. He says that if someone who is getting over the 'flu experiences a tightness in their chest, they should see their doctor. NEED AN RRSP TO REDUCE INCOME TAX AND Return Reaiiy SatisfactoryP rofit?

Giffin continued, "It was tremendous and I would like to thank everyone in atten- dance. It's their enthusiastic support that allows our dinners to continue to grow.'' Adding a little pageantry to the dinner was the appearance of eight members of the Ontario Provincial Police pipe and drum band. They piped the guest speakers to the head table and entertained for several minutes. While former Detroit Pistons basketball coach Dick Vitale was the headline speaker, master of ceremonies Jack Donohue was an instant hit with the crowd. Dohohue, coach of Canada's national basketball team kept everyone in good spirits with his in-between speeches humour. Vitale who calls himself Mr. Enthusiasm stressed determination as the impor- tant factor in being successful in athletics. Former Montreal Canadien superstar Jean Beliveau was popular as he talked about the good old days with the Habs and some of the problems being experienced by the current team. Beliveau listed the losses of fellows like Ken Dryden, Jacques Lemaire and Yvon Cournyoier as being tough to replace. He stressed the impor- tance of making the right draft choices saying, "You can't afford to make a bad pick. After the first 30 to 40 players the quality goes down and with 21 teams choosing, don't make any mistakes." Current Hockey Night in Canada personality Don Cherry talked about his ex- periences in coaching at Boston and Colorado and yes. he mentioned his very popular dog, Blue. Rec board Continued from front page contributions towards the rec centre deficit and Exeter would pick up the balance. While there was some discussion on setting fixed fees on the basis of the percentage of participants from each municipality, Shaw said it was doubtful if such a system would be recommended by the board. It is expected the board will draft recommendations by mid-March. Two Canadian football league players claimed their teams would win the 1981 Grey Cup. They were Mon- treal Alouette quarterback Gerry Datillio and Duncan McKinlay of the Toronto Argonauts. Datillio the only Canadian quarterback in the CFL said he supports Jamie Bone in his fight against the designated import rule and added. "If Jamie needs another witness I would be glad to help out." Representing the United States version of football was Marshall Harris of the Cleveland Browns. As far as size was concerned, Harris a defensive back from Texas Christian University was the largest speaker in atten- dance. There were only two ladies included in the list of guest speakers and they were both superb. Christine Easterbrook of RR 1. Hensall represented crippled children and won the hearts of the athletes with her well delivered speech. Figure skating was represented by tw$ of Canada's top competitors Lori Baier and Lloyd Eisler. Lori Baler did the talking for the skating pair and kept everyone very interested with her accounts of the tough physical training need- ed to stay in condition. Two types of racing had representatives at the head table. John Campbell, a native ofthe Ailsa Craig area was the top harness horse driver in North America in 1980 as far as winnings were concerned. From the sport of auto racing came John Scratch of Goderich. Scratch, a public school teacher in Goderich has been on several Formula Ford championshihp teams in recent years. Terry Puhl from Melville, Saskatchewan who became an overnight star with the Houston Astros in the 1980 National baseball league baseball playoffs added some religious philosophy' to the dinner. Puhl also talked about the comeback hopes of Houston pitcher J.R. Richard who was sidelined last year by a stroke. He said Richard is throwing the ball again and could be back in the lineup by mid-season of 1981. Greg Marshall of the University of Western On- tario Mustangs represented Intercollegiate football.

Lions president Earl Wagner presented a plaque to Jack Donohue for his ex- cellent efforts in dinner in- troductions and Frank Giffin similarily gave a plaque to Alex Kellman of CFPL - TV in London for his help in organizing the local dinners. Kellman was the chair- man of the first Sportsmen's dinner in London 25 years ago. London man gets fine for infraction A London man was given the minimum fine of $78 after pleading guilty to driving while under suspension when he appeared before Justice of the Peace Douglas Wedlake in Exeter court, Tuesday. Alexander Maxwell Nelson was given 115 days in which to pay the fine arising from a charge laid on January 21. The court learned that Nelson is a loan officer for a mortgage company and had to keep an appointment with a client who was in dire financial circumstances. The accused said he could not find a driver to assist him in the emergency. Mr. Wedlake advised the accused not to drive again while his license is under suspension. The charge was laid under the Highway Traffic Act. Last week, a London lawyer succeeded in having a similar charge dismissed by a court because it had been laid under the Crminal Code. A former resident of RR 1 Crediton, William Scott Hern, now of Cobourg, was fined $128 after being con- victed of careless driving on December 30. The charge was laid after a vehicle was being driven at a rate of speed that was excessive for the road conditions at the time. The incident occurred in Huron Park and the court learned that a pedestrian on the road had to jump out of the way of the vehicle as it slid and fish- tailed on the icy roads. Hern was given 90 days in which to pay the fine.
