Last Saturday Salus Studio held
an open house for the community
to check out Seaforth's newest fit-
ness/health studio.
Behind the Seaforth Commu-
nity Hospital, the fresh business,
which is partnered up sometimes
with the Huron Community Fam-
ily Health Team, is located. Peo-
ple were in and out for the reveal-
ing of one of the town's newest
editions.
The owner of Salus Studio,
Mandi Layton said most of the
workouts are "core" mixed with
exercises and functional fitness.
As well she mentioned the studio
currently offers pre and post natal
programs, back programs and
numerous other healthy initiatives
to stay in tip-top shape.
"Mandy was a perfect fit, she's
had so many amazing ideas for
guided physical activity," said Dr.
Agnieszka Kluz from the Huron
Community Family Health Team in
Seaforth. "We know that women
are having babies and as they age
their core gets weaker that causes
lots of problems."
"Pelvic floor dysfunction, lower
back pain and sexual dysfunction:'
Layton expects some men's
classes in August as well.
"A lot of men have knee, hip and
shoulder problems," Layton said
during the open house June 11.
Liberals Will Force Ontarians Off
Natural Gas by Increasing Price
Press -release from
MPP, Lisa Thompson
The Minister of Energy's Parlia-
mentary Assistant has been bring-
ing false hope to the residents of
South Bruce about the future of
natural gas in Bruce County, says
Lisa Thompson, MPP for
Huron -Bruce.
Bob Delaney, the MPP for Mis-
sissauga-Streetsville, was in South
Bruce at the beginning of June to
dispute the Globe and Mail's
reports that a draft of the Liberals'
Climate Change Action Plan would
phase out natural gas in homes by
2030.
"It concerns me greatly that a
representative of the Liberal gov-
ernment was in southern Bruce
County, meeting with municipal
officials, and not giving them all
the facts," said Thompson. "The
truth is, the Liberals must cut natu-
ral gas usage by 40 percent in just
over 13 years in order to meet their
2030 climate target."
Kathleen Wynne and her caucus
cronies have also admitted that the
price of natural gas will increase
under their cap -and -trade scheme,
surpassing electricity rates and
ultimately forcing homes and busi-
nesses off of natural gas heating.
This is bad news for the commu-
nities of Kincardine, Arran-Elder-
slie and Huron -Kinloss, which have
been working for several years to
bring the inexpensive energy
source to their communities, finally
reaching an agreement with
EPCOR in 2015. Without a market
to invest in, the deal could poten-
tially fall apart.
"For a community that has
worked so hard for access to natu-
ral gas, the Parliamentary Assis-
tant's remarks are extremely dam-
aging," said Thompson. "He's
giving false information to people
who are trying to plan for the future
of their communities, with no
regard for the outcome. It's time
the Liberals stop making decisions
for themselves, and start thinking
about Ontarians. "

Seaforth youngster cuts hair for cancer
Shaun Gregory
Huron Expositor
At eight -years -old, most kids are
playing outside, involved in sports
and so on, not Callie Anderson.
Contrary to the life of being a
youngster, she wanted to aid in
the battle of a disease that comes
in numerous forms -cancer. She
decided to go down a road most
females would never even
fathom.
The grade-schooler cut her hair
short with a pair of scissors at the
annual Toss Em Up For Childhood
Cancer on June 4. Nobody held her
hand; no peer -pressure or push
was needed to join the fight that
was responsible for 78,000 deaths
in Canada in 2015, according to
cancer.ca.
"It was mostly her idea, some-
one had mentioned to her about
giving hair for cancer and our
family does the ring toss tourna-
ment, explained her mother,
Michelle Anderson on June 10.
"We lost my sister in-law, so her
aunt Amanda died of cancer just
last year, June 21. So when some-
one mentioned it, I thought it
would be a good idea for her to do
it."
"In memory of her aunt."
Entering the tournament's eighth
year, it was initially launched in the
honour of a young man by the
name of Nick Van Dyk (Michelle's
cousin) who didn't have the oppor-
tunity of reaching his twentieth
birthday.
He lost the struggle of cancer
back in 2008. This year Michelle
said they've raised just shy of
$28,000. Being the busy bee that
she is, Anderson managed to
gather up approximately $3,300.
"From St. James Catholic School

alone," she raised $600 dollars from
contributions and selling Freezies
at recess.
Followed by $800 from her
father's work, their bank donated
$150 as well as Michelle's place of
employment Degree Fitness also
put up $500.
The hair was given to Locks for
Love, an organization that provides
hair to financially disadvantaged
children under the age of 21.
"She knew there was someone
she could help," it was a no brainer,
stated Michelle. "It makes me very
proud someone so young can rec-
ognize that and empathize for
someone else."
