OHIP, the Ontario Legal Aid
Plan, and several sources of
municipal funding. The con-
cept is strongly supported by
the Rural Learning Associa-
tion (RLA) of Guelph, which
sees them as a means of ac-
tively involving communities
in their own health care.
"The opportunity is there
for people to get something
better than sickness in-
surance, to get genuine
preventatives and health
maintenance programs that
really meet their needs,"
sayd Dr. Cole.
Women Today has a set of
three audio tapes, produced
by the RLA in 1983, which ex-
plain the concept and function
of community health centres.
These are available on a loan
basis to any interested party,
and may be obtained by call-
ing the Clinton office at

Tire workshop will begin at
to k.m., Thursday, Feb. 23 at
the Vanastra Recreation Cen-
tre near Clinton. Admission is
free, and anyone is welcome
to attend.
Letters have been mailed to
the administrators and chiefs -

and to other key health-care
personnel in Huron County,
urging them to attend.

I always enjoy writing
these columns -- I call this a
"By the time you read this"
column. I usually write these
coloumns just before I leave
on a trip and I try to speculate
as to what will happen. The
truth is I have to get a column
written before 1 leave, and I
haven't thought of another
topic.
Actually, trying to guess
the future is fun. Usually
because 1 am so far out in left
field.
So -- By the time you read
this, I will have been skiing in
the Rockies. Sounds exotic,
en?
If I do really get up my
nerve to attempt skiing in the
Rockies, I will, no doubt,
break bones. And if you have
any compassion at all, you
will be sending me "get well"
cards in some Calgary
hospital. Thank you in
advance.
And if I am lying in some
hospital bed, I will, no doubt,
be insanely jealous of my hus-
band. As usual, he will pro-
bably take to skiing in the
Mary's
musings
By Mary Alderson
Rockies the way a duck takes
to water. After all, he's the
guy who can't swim, but
waterskis like a pro. On the
other hand, 1 spent all my life
taking swimming lessons and
earningmy bronze medallion,
and I am still terrified each
time 1 attempt to slalom on
waterskis. No doubt, Victor
will be the next Horst Bulau,
flying over jumps and taking
moguls in stride. I'm jealous
already, and we haven't even
seen a mountain yet.
1 should explain that we are
not heading off to Alberta just
to ski. My employers at AIS
are sending me to Calgary
and Edmonton to cover a cou-
ple of conventions for our
agricultural magazines. In
Calgary, I will be reporting on
a convention of fertilizer and
chemical dealers, and the
following week in Edmonton.
I will be covering a conven-
tion of the Prairie Implement
Manufacturers' Association.
As it turns out I have a few
days in between conventions,
so my husband is joining me
in Banff -- and apparently,
when one holidays in Banff in"
February, one is expected to
go skiing. The prospect scares
me to death, but they say that
the snow is so deep in the
mountains you don't hurt
yourself when you fall. I'll
give you further information
on the validity of that state-
ment when 1 get home. If 1 get
home -- in one piece.
Actually. I know exactly
whats going to happen to me
I'm probably going to be
sick. I am very prone to mo-
tion sickness. I do not go near
airports without a supply of
Gravol. In 1983 I made nine
trips by air, and believe me.
motion sickness does not go
away the more you travel --
my pills went with me to such
points as Winnipeg, Saska-
toon, Ottawa, Nassau, Bran-
don, Milwaukee and Cham-
pagne, Illinois. It's difficult to
maintain the old dignity when
you're green and beads of
perspiration are running
down your nose. But thanks to
Gravol, I love to fly.
Anyway, I heard the other

Stanley skating carnival
proves to be successful
By Mary Chessell
A good crowd turned out for.
the Stanley Township Skating
Carnival in Bayfield on Satur-
day night, with dozens of
children in costume. The
judges were presented with a
difficult task. Prizes in
kindergarten age and under
went to Michael Stephenson
and Jeff McGregor; grades 1
and 2, Kelly Ratcliffe and
Erin Keys; older children,
Melody Turner and Joanne
Consitt., The oldest skater
there was MervynHayterand
the youngest was Mervyn's
granddaughter Meghan. The
Lowell Mount family won the
"biggest family" prize.
One wonders how the little
ne to motion sickness also get
ill at high elevations. Ap-
parently, if you're not used to
living in the Rockies, the
height can make you quite
sick. I have stocked up on my
motion sickness tablets. A
native of flat Lambton coun-
ty will not be able to stand liv-
ing in a hotel that is halfway
up the mountain and only ac-
cessible by gondola.
So by the time you read
this. I will probably be sleep-
ing in a Rocky mountain
resort -- passed -out from an
overdose of Gravol. Unless, of
course, I'm -in a Calgary
hospital.
Varna rink could have accom-
modated so many. Perhaps it
was fortunate that the
weather made it necessary to
move the carnival to
Bayfield. When you see how
well the very young children
skate, you realize how
valuable our own little rink is.
It's in use three nights a week
and on Sunday afternoons.
The Orange Lodge hall is
open and heated at the same
time for changing into skates.
It's also a comforable gather-
ing place for parents who are
waiting for their children.
There were fourteen tables
of euchre, the biggest turnout
this winter, at the Orange
Lodge card party on Friday
night. High and low ladies'
prizes were lion by Betty
Thompson and Mary Reid.
Men's high was Doug McAsh;
low, Frank Thom. Draw
prizes were won by Cliff
Henderson, Marg Elliott,
W.D. Wilson.

Plan health c•ntro workshop
Thursday, Huron County
residents will have the oppor-
tunity to examine the concept
of a community -sponsored
Community Health Centre,
during the workshop co-
sponsored by The Huron
County Community and
Social Services Council and
Women Today.
Such a facility provides
primary care, preventative
care, and related social ser-
vices together in one com-
plex. At the same time, it
combats the growing cen-
tralization of decision-making
by restoring control of its own
affairs to the small
community.
"The concept has come out
of a kind of anger at our pre-
sent health care system,
which is not meeting the
needs of many of our people.
We have to change people's
sense of involvement before
we can change the patterns of
health and illness in our socie-
ty," explains Dr. Donald Cole,
who will conduct the two-hour
workshop.
Dr. Cole is a physician at
the York Community Ser-
vices Centre, a highly suc-
cessful Toronto facility, which
employs a team of doctors,
nurses, professional
counsellors and legal
workers, as well as an army
of volunteer drivers, inter -
