'l ;Ingham Deput`. Reeve Bill Har-
ris concerned about litter on town
streets, and last Wednesday asked
the Wingham Beard or Polis Com-
missioners to direct. Police chief
Bob Wittig to check into °possible
solutions to the problem.
Mr. Harris, one of two Town of
Wingham representatives on the.
board, brought up the littering prob-
lem at the commission's regular
May meeting.
He asked if the town had an anti-
littering bylaw to prevent people
from "chucking cigarette boxes and
milk cartons all over the main
street, from one end to the other."
Other members of town council
! ac.d also observed people littering,
bed.
Beard Charman Fred McGee said
the public should bemadeaware of
the problem.
"I think it's an education thing as
much as it is a bylaw matter," he.
said. "if parents taught their chil-
dren not to litter, it would go a long
way toward preventing it."
Since litter on private coMmercial
property can also be a problem,
Wingham Mayor Jack Kopas, the
town's other representative on the
board, suggested that during Mr.
Wittig's investigation, he also check
to see if the town's property stand-
ards bylaw addresses the ac-
cumulation of litter on private
property.

"I don't know whether family stress or
the demands of his music career,°or
something totally unrelated started
David's problems. What I do know is that
he is a very troubled young man.
I've been his manager since he began
giving concerts as a teenager. I've seen
his highs and his lows. And I've seen
many times when his piano seemed to
be the only thing that sustained him.
David gets lots of professional help,
and takes medication when he needs it
for.. his dep Tessio-. rBut-he'stold me..
many times that Ile could„never make it
through tife without the of'his
friends and the people in the classical
music industry.
Hell probably still feel shaky from
time to time, but if we all continue to be
there when he needs us I'm sure he'll
make it. David has a lot to contribute.
I guess the lesson is that even
concert pianists can have mental health
problems.”
People like David are getting back
on theirfeet more frequently these
days... partly because treatment of
mental health problems has improved
dramatically, and partly because
the rest of society is leaning to be
more understanding and supportive.
