No cut rates for
water cut-off
Tuckersmith Township water
service users will still have to.
pay their basic service charge
even if they. ask for the water
to be temporarily turned off.
Township Council set the water
shut-off policy at the May 23
meeting.
The new policy is not
expected to affect a great num-
ber of ratepayers. The basic
service charge is about $200 a
year in Egmondville, $150 per
year in Vanastra and $65-75
per year in Brucefield.

Deputy -Reeve Larry McGrath
asked if the township would
receive any grants in lieu of
taxes for the Community Liv-
ing building on Mill Road in
Egmondville.
The facility could be exempt
from taxes as a public building
and it is not yet known if the
township will receive a grant in
lieu of taxes for the building.
McGrath said that by becoming
a public building it could
reduce the township's tax rev-
enues by thousands of dollars.
Drain approved
Hullett Council approved a
tile drain application for
Conc.12, Lot 35 and part of
Lot 34 amounting to a
maximum of $20,000, subject
to the availability of funds at
time of completion of the
work, at its regular meeting
May 16. The township also
passed a bylaw imposing
"special annual drainage rates
upon lands in respect of which
money is borrowed under the
Tile Drainage Act, R.S.O.
1990, chapter T8 in the amount
of $11,300".

Be kind to yourself, women told
BY TIM CUMMING
Expositor Editor
You need to learn how to be
kind to yourself, a therapist
told about 14 women in
Seaforth on Wednesday even-
ing.
"You need to be your own
best friend," said Mary -Anne
Shaw, a community health
nurse at the Seaforth Commun-
ity Psychiatric Services. "Often
it's easier to care for other
people than it is to care for
yourself."
Shaw spoke at the Women's
Resource Centre as part of the
Information Exchange series of
speakers.
When Shaw asked the audi-
ence who was suffering from
stress, the entire audience put
up their hands in the affirm -
ative.
The speaker warned that
. uncontrolled stress can hurt the
immune system and make
someone more susceptible to
sickness.
There arc many causes of
stress, said Shaw. They include
tong -term factors which predis-
pose someone to stress (such as
childhood circumstances) and
biological causes.
It can be caused by a large
number of problems including
(among many things) allergies,
PMS, alcohol withdrawal,
increases or decreases in sugar,
inner ear problems and trauma.
Stress can cause a variety of
problems and show up in a
variety of ways.
Some traumatic stress can
appear as post-traumatic stress
disorder. The condition was
noticed first in returning Viet
. Nam war veterans. Although
some veterans withstood the
pressures of the war, while it
was happening, they experi-
enced flashbacks and stress
upon their return.
This condition can also occur
in survivors of sexual or physi-
cal abuse or in someone who
has witnessed an accident.
Childhood contributors to
stress could be growing up
with parents who are prone to
anxiety or critical of their
children. If children were not
able to express their feelings
this could also be a contributor
to stress.
"There are a lot of things we
carry with us," said Shaw.
When people don't recognize
their own anger and try to keep
it inside they can contribute to
their own stress, she said.
The following are some
factors which might help main-
tain a high level of stress:
•Anxious self-deprecation.

Spring Fair.
•Withheld feelings.
•Lack of assertiveness.
•Lack of self -nurturing skills.
•Muscle tension.
Diet can also contribute to
stress. Such products as coffee
and chocolate can be stress
builders.
The women at Wednesday's
lecture were asked to complete
a form documenting their num-
ber of stressful incidences in
the past year.
Many participants found they
had numerous stressful events
in their lives. These might
range from the loss of a spouse
or family member to the mov-
ing away of children.
"What's happening in your
Life is causing you a lot of
stress even if you don't ident-
ify it as such," said Shaw.
The body can sometimes tell
if you are experiencing stress.
A strained or shaky voice,
stuttering, nervous ticks, heart-
burn, urinary difficulties, con-
stipation, diarrhoea, sexual
tension, impotency, sweaty
palms, dry mouth, dizziness,
perspiration, rapid heart beat,
sudden bursts of energy,
migraines, frowning, trembling
or shaking, tension headaches,
grinding of teeth and many
other physical acts can be
attributed to stress. The effects
of stress can also include feel-
ings of guilt, self-conscious-
ness, difficulty sleeping,
changes in the body, arthritic
or joint pain, infertility, excess-
ive thirst, changes in skin col-
our, low-grade infections,
allergies and mouth sores.
"It's important to listen to
your body when you're feeling
unwell,' said Shaw. "Often
that's a sign you have to take
some control and calm your-
self."
If someone feels there is a
lack of meaning and sense of
purpose in their life they may
experience stress.
Shaw told the audience one
way to decrease stress is
through relaxation techniques.
Relaxation, she said, can
decrease: heart rate, muscle
tension and blood pressure. It
can also increase the flow of
oxygen to the brain.
It can improve concentration,
memory and sleep patterns.
One of the easiest ways to
relax, while at home or even

Relaxation tapes may be
beneficial to some people but
might not suit others.
She described such tech-
niques for relaxation as pro-
gressive relaxation (tensing and
relaxing muscles) and
autogenic relaxation (self-hyp-
nosis) and exercising.
The women at Wednesday's
talk took several minutes to
practice some of the relaxation
techniques.
