The Goderich Signal-Star, 1983-03-30, Page 7Gladys and Allister Green of Goderich were among the more than 100 people to take part in the Southwestern Ontario Square Dancing Association meet in Clinton on Saturday. The day -long event was hosted by the Clinton Wheel 'n Dealers Club. (Shelley McPhee photo) Calls motion stalling tactic Dear Editor: It was quite apparent at the council meeting this week, that the motion by councillor Don Wheeler to table the request by the G.D.A.M,R. to amend the zoning by-law, was a blatant stalling tactic. If I were a suspicious person, I might suspect an ulterior motive! . Numerous delays will seriously impede our at- tempt to establish and fund group homes, and thereby deprive the handicapped of a place, which is rightfully theirs, in the community. The community shgj 1d also recognize the financial' benefits that result from the presence of Group Homes. For example, the' average group home spends ap- proximately: $80,000 'wper year in salaries; $16,000 per year on initial renovations and furnishings; $3,000• per year on supplies and staples,. $2 - 3,000 per year on replacement of furnishings; $8 -12,000 per year on food. It should be noted that these operating budgets are ongoing. • - At the conclusion of the council meeting, I stopped Councillor Wheeler as he was rushing out the door, to ask why he tabled the LETTERS request without discussion. He became very defensive, arrogant, even bordering on hostile, and he intimated. that he couldn't be expected to discuss an issue until he'd had a chance to get reaction from the people. Where has councillor Wheeler been for the past two months? Does he not read the paper? I know he was not at the public meeting, but surely it is his responsibility to make himself aware of what happened' at that meeting. Every .membe,r of council has been given copies of the letters sent in by the citizens of.,Gaderich.,..Theae.Jette , incidentally;`blearly indicate by approximately a two- thirds margin,. that the people are in favour of the establishment ' of group homes. I suggest that Councillor Wheeler take his head out of the sand and spend a little time listening and keeping up with the facts, instead of Calls tax plan a socialistic move To Dennis Timbrell, Ontario Minister of Agriculture: Thanks for the offer Mr. Timbrell but I'll pass on your new 100 per cent rebate of taxes on Agricultural land and Agricultural buildings. I believe there is no such thing as something for nothing. I am very happy with things the way they are now: 50 per cent total rebate of all land taxes paid. I see no reason to change things and desire no change, From my experience with government rebates and subsidies such as Ontario Farm Adjustment Assistance program, In- terest Reduction grant, the • odds are certainly against you on this plan. I will pay my 'agriculture taxes and keep my' pride of ownership and my land use rights. Under no cir- cumstance would i give up my farm rights to police pro- tection, fire protection and road use. Aside from my pride of ownership, we need police, fire protection and road use. We should pay our fair share for all of these ser- vices. We have it pretty good using the highways to move our machinery and our agriculture crops to other farms and to sales yards and elevators. • My taxes have always been a small part of my farm expenses. I consider your plan a socialistic move and a violation of farmers' rights. I agree with the Huron Coun- ty Federation of Agriculture's stand of op- • position to the 100 per Cent rebate. Don't covet the other fellows rights .if you are not prepared to accept the responsibility that goes with it. Cletus Dalton. Cruise missile is best deterrents Dear Editir, Here's ' somre food for thought: I say to those individual4" who threw eggs at the Vice President of the United States, when he was visiting Ottawa to negotiate the testing of the Cruise missile: there is a grave possibility that they would not be -alive today to throw those eggs, if it had not been for the technolpgy of the States dur- ing the latter part of the war in 1939. Hitler and his henchmen were within months of discovering the atomic bomb. • These protesters want to ban the bomb, and I believe their actions have been displayed because of ig- rushing off to - take a refresher course in arrogance, or to watch the next exciting' episode of The Thorn Birds! Sincerely, Shelagh Sully :Educator's role clarified Rear ' dit017*• g read the article ;IV . Marr in the March 23rd issueof the Godertch Sigpal- on Huron's new health e ucatpr, I felt that clarification on the position was necessary Information presented Eby Ms, MOM. although basically accurate, tended to provide a - somewhat narrow descrip- tion of the health educator's role. The position was obtained for Huron County as a result of • the foresight and hard work of the Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Harry Cieslar, who is most concerned with the relationship between cer.- tain lifestye risk factors and the incidence of some diseases. As such, one of the health educator's respon- sibilities is to provide educa- tion in this area., It is impor- tant to note that lifestyle does not only include stress, diet, fitness and alcohol con- sumption. Lifestyle is the unique pat- tern of your daily living. In other words, it's the food you eat, the weight problem, the malnutrition, the vehicle you drive, the seat belts you don't wear, the speed limits you may disobey, the drugs you. take, the cigarettes you smoke, or the alcohol you drink. It's• becoming fit and staying fit through regular exercise, participating in sports, being an observer, doing a hobby or watching TV, how you handle stress, tension and loneliness, and knowing how to • relax. It's taking precautions or needless risks with your health on the job, at home, at school, or while par- ticipating in sports. The choices you make are what matters! Hopefully, by providing relevant, up-to-date infor— mation in these areas, the health educator can assist individuals in making the choices which will. best con- tribute to on inaproi ed health status. The approach is not heavy'i . decl lath .a "do -this -or -else" attitude. The approach is based on the assumption that wise decision -n iaking follows from an increase in the knowledge of the person In- v* ed . n -volved. Therefore, coria- naunity presentations on smoking, stress, alcohol, fitness, weight control, heart health, and cancer and breast self-examination have been arranged. As well, resource materials and: per, .conal consultatioi have been provided on demand. Our purpose is to assist people in making changes in their lifestyle that could lead to a positive health status. In addition to the above ac- tivities, the health educator position is responsible for developing a public relations program for the Health Unit. This has involved - writing press releases, advertising activities, arranging TV and radio spots, and attending meetings to introduce the new health educator posi- tion. Planned for May 12, is an Open House which in- volves all Health Unit ser- vices as well as several com- munity health agencies. The day will include. displays, handout materials, films for vienving throughout the day, and the' availability of pro- fessionals for consultation. Everyone is welcome to at- tend the Open House which is being held • in the Ontario Street United Church ' auditorium, Clinton, from 9:30 a. m. -4 p.m. The position has also in- cluded acting in liaison with agencies such as the Lung Association, Heart Founda- tion,- -Cancer Society; Lake Huron Zone Recreation Association, among others, to develop activities and share ideas; compiling statistical information for .presentations and press releases; creating display Collingwood celebrates 125th Collingwood will turn back the pages of time this anti- mer to celebrate 125 years of history. On June 12, historical buffs will have the opportunity to have an inside look at some of Collingwood's finest cen- tury homes. ' To riia$k ` C it l gwood's 125th anniversary, the Coll- ingwo'od and District Historical Society and the Collingwood Progress Club have joined forces to present "A Tour of Collingwood Homes" The tour will feature 'four older homes, circa 1870 -1910, which recall the splendour and craft- sinanship of yesteryear. A modern home, also on the /tour, will provide interesting contrast. Collingwood's heritage will be further highlighted norance. The Cruise missile ,'Is just 'one Of the best deterrents against the bomb. Becaus °of its size, it 'can be secluded easily, and it can function •without being detected by radar. It, also can be remotely controlled, eliminating the need for a pilot aboard. Because of our closeness to the United States in the matters of defense, we have to act as one unit. The Com- munistic strategy -is to divids and conquer. If we expect co- operation in the event of hostilities, we also have to fulfill our commitments to NATO. As of now, we are negligent. Sincerely, N. J. Minaker, Goderich. during, two special anniver- sary weeks in July. On July 2, historical dress will be the order of the day as Coll- ingwood's citizens, past and present, come together to en- joy an old-fashioned parade. Later in the evening, period dress will be in vogue for the Anniversary Ball at the Coll: ingwood arena. The windows of Coll- ingwood's main street stores will be given over to the town's heritage as historical displays are mounted in keeping with the anniver- sary theme. On July 14, Collingwood will make modern-day history with the launch of the largest ship ever destined for the Great Lakes - Seaway System. At 736 feet three inches, the. $40 million Hull 227 is the longest ship ever to be constructed at the signs and materials; -.cor- responding withseveral companies, agencies, and • government departments in mSearch of new resource aterials; disseininating formation to schools to 'pro- mote a better understanding of the special health month themes and . attending various workshops and seminars. Slide presenta- tions on "To Smoke or Not To Smoke", "How to Say No to a Cigarette"; and "Smok- ing and the Family", for elementary students have been developed. Hopefully, this letter can serve to promote a better understanding of the role' of the health educator. Please call the Health Unit office in Goderich (524.8301) if you or your organization would like to talk with me even if it's "Just for the Health of It!" Respectfully; Sheryl.
