Crisis workshop planned for Clinton Next too a death in the family, marriage breakdown is often the most devastating crisis a couple may have to face in a lifetime. Often shattering a lifetime of hopes and dreams,, a separation or -divorce can trigger endless , emotional, psychological and practical problems with which many people are totally un- prepared to deal in today's fast -paced society. However, as with all other major changes, the ex- perience can be turned into a positive one, with endless opportunities for personal growth and fulfillment opportunities which might not have existed within the framework of a restrictive marriage. The problems of separation and divorce will be the major focus of a work- shop to be presented in Clinton Feb. 1 sponsored by Women Today, the self-help and advocacy group for women in Huron County. The guest speaker will be Nancy McLeod, who has gained wide respect for her work with young people and their families throughout the county. Topics will include how to decide when to leave a relationship, surviving the separation; helping children through the crisis, how to avoid marriage breakdown and finding opportunities for personal growth.. Group discussion will be en- couraged and participants will have the opportunity to share ways in which they have dealt with major changes in their lives. The workshop called "Coping with Change" will be held at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 1 at the Wesley -Willis United Church, 52 Victoria Street, Clinton. Admission is free.

Snow protIens discussEd a' Turnberry council mtin Snow and what to do with it dominated discussion at last Tuesday's meeting of Turnberry council. Although he is not sure yet how this Winter is comparing to other bad. ones in the past, Road Superintendent Ross Nicholson reported he and his crew all 'chalked up overtime hours during the Christmas holiday storm. Roadman Len Baird had put in 72 hours overtime, George Gallaway, ap- proximately 50, and Mr. Nicholson, 25. Plus, Jerome Schill, who cleans Lower Town and Bluevale, had put in,as many as 17 hours in one day during the storm. Council resolved to tell !i1r. Schill to stop plowing the road in front of Murray Jenkins' home outside Bluevale because, in the first place, it, is not even in T11,-^herry Township and secondly it is a private drive. Four homes are situated along the roadway in question. A telephone conversation between Turnberry Reeve Brian McBurney and Morris Reeve Bill Elstorl_revealed Morris Township..i does not intend to plow the roadway and would not pay any costs incurred because it is a private lane. Mr. Schill had been plowing the lane since Jan. 1, but Mr._Nicholson was in- structed to ask him to stop. Still with the roads, Ken Mathers of Bluevale at- tended the meeting to see if the banks in Bluevale could be winged back further and if the streets could be opened any earlier in the mornings. Admittedly, Mr. „Mathers said, the streets in the Afternoon Unit meets at church BELGRAVE — The first meeting of the Afternoon Unit of the United Church Women for 1984 was held in schoolroom of the church with an attendance of six.
