Lawyer Michael Fowler appeared before Scugog Township council Oct. 17 to fill them in on the situation on Mabel's Rd., north of Nestleton, and offer possible solutions to a convoluted problem. The road strays from the sur- veyed road allowance, with properties encroaching on the. north side of the allowance, he said. And on the south side, the road rolls across private prop- erty. There are six properties on the north side of the road "where people think they own land, but actually it's on the road allowance," said Mr. Fowler. "The township has a road built on seven properties on the south side that belong to other people," he added. The road allowance was sur- veyed decades ago, but the road didn't follow the survey as it grew, said Mr. Fowler. He outlined a number of actions the township can take to rectify the various intrusions, .... including stopping up and sell- ing some of the road allowance, and making deals for expropri- ations and conveyances with the affected landowners. At township administrator Earl Cuddie's suggestion the councillors voted not to take any action until property own- ers can be informed of the con- fusion at a special meeting. Mr. Fowler noted that there are pieces of legislation that could help the township in straightening out the mess. "It seems you're not the first municipality to put a road in the wrong place," he said. Turning back the hands of time...... Don't let the exceptionally fine Fall weather: fool you... it's a lot closer to winter than most people would like to believe. Trees stripped naked of their foliage and shorter days are sure reminders it's time to turn back the clocks so we can recover some of that pre- cious sunshine. The annual daylight sav- ings ritual takes place this weekend, so before you head off to bed Saturday night don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour. And by all means... enjoy the extra hour of sleep. 3 Rr I ig The (foot) Doctor is in Valerie Balogh, a chiropodist, will be at community Memorial Hospital one Thursday each month as part of a cooperative program. She will see patients and offer advice and treatment for foot problems. Community Memorial Hospi- tal has announced a new Chi- ropody Service, beginning Thursday, Oct. 20, 1994. The service is a satellite clinic of Oshawa General Hospital which also provides foot care clinics at Bowmanville Memori- al Hospital, and Whitby Gener- al Hospital. Chiropody comprises the maintenance of feet in healthy condition and the treatment of their disabilities by recognized chiropodial methods in which the practitioner has been trained. These methods include the treatment of common foot disor- ders arising from general or sys- temic diseases, such as diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. Chiropody is broadly based on the medical sciences, and this equips the Chiropodist to provide a comprehensive ser- vice of diagnosis and treatment for the young and old. A variety of foot conditions may include such deformities as hammer toes, mallet toes and bunions, infections such as viral warts, bacteria and fungus, pressure lesions such as corns and callouses, a variety of toe- nail problems and many others. In some cases, the Chiropo- dist may suspect that the foot problems are a symptom of oth- Sa ospital offers monthy chiropody service er body dysfunctions. In these cases the Chiropodist will work in consultation with the pa- tient's physician or specialist as required. Some of the Chiropodist's treatment may include padding and strappings of felts or foams. It may also include molds and casts for construction of orthotic inlays or devices worn on the foot. Simple advice and education on footcare, shoewear, sock- wear, nail cutting, footcare for infants, athletes or elderly, are provided by the Chiropodist. Due to limited service, the hospital is not able to offer rou- tine nail care. This service is readily obtained through Com- munity Care - Scugog at (905) 985-8461 or Uxbridge at (905) 852-7445, or Brock (705) 432- 2900. The Chiropody Service wel- comes all who require footcare to call for their booking time at 985-7321 Ext. 278 Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Direct any inquiries to Tina Demmers, Di- rector of Rehabilitation Servic- es at the same telephone num- ber. The clinic is open every third Thursday of each month and is located on the first floor, in Re- habilitation Services.
