SUSU MYINT CLINTON - Women Today has been active on a number of boards, committees and issues during the past year. They have tackled subjects ranging from pay equity to midwifery. At the organization's annual meeting on June 25 at the town hall, president_Debbie Selkirk briefly outlined a number of projects Women Today have. been involved in during the past year. One of the major projects has been Women Being Well, which has been run by Valerie Bolton' with Sally Rathwell's assistance. From this project, 10 self-help groups have been set up in Huron County to help other women deal with problems such as illness, separation or divorce, the death of a loved one or a special experience such as the birth of a child. Those running the self-help groups have learned how to organize them by taking a self-help facilitator's training course. The purpose for Women Being Well is to create a self-help network. Another major project is called Reaching Out which has three objectives. The first objective is to maintain a theatre group. This group performed Side. -Effects last year and a theatre self-help group will put on Vital Signs this fall. Vital Signs is a play _Which. deals. with ecc.namic issues.ef nurses.

"Committee II met yesterday (June 24) and there is some business that needs to be cleared up before the July meeting," Mayor John Balfour told council before getting into the business. Reeve Bee Cooke, chairperson of Commit- tee II, presented the -recommendations to Council. The first item brought forward by the :reeve concerned the. Clinton Public Works' two-way. radios - Mayor Balfour explained the trequenoyof� -the radios were too low, therefore making it difficult for the employees to communicate with the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) employees. In an attempt to solve the pro- blem, one radio was adjusted to a different frequency and is reported to be working well. In light of this finding, Committee II recommended all the portable radios be readjusted to a frequency which is compati- ble with the PUC. The cost is $150 and the work will be done by Perth Communications. • Drainage Problem A water run-off problem is being ex- perienced on Shipley Street near the new medical centre. Committee II is recommen- ding $3,200 plus labor and engineering costs (estimated at $1,200) be spent to correct the problem. Included in the cost are three catch basins, a drain and an 18 inch strip of asphalt gutter on the east side of Shipley. This work, as well as a tile being placed in the Pugh Terrace, Spencer and Erie Street area to help carry the water, was approved. The :tile;isgestinnated to cost $1,000. Tourist Booth The hydro which is feed into the tourist booth on Ontario Street was previously con- nected to a house located by the booth. Since this method is no longer appropriate, coun- cil discussed two alternatives. The first alternative was to hook up with the Credit Union. This method would cost $612.11. The second alternative was to get a direct line into the"booth. This would cost $343.86 plus a flat rate of $4.50 per month. Council decided to use the direct line method.
