Ross and Associates of Goderich, advised council the inspection of the standpipe will be done by Alfred Philips, a Toronto con- tractor, at a cost of $600. The inspection will take place from June 24 to June 26. Council intends to ask Mr. Philips if he can suggest a firm to do the required re - greasing of the standpipe after he has com- pleted the inspection. Council has decided to proceed with plans to map the entire water distribution system in the village. The map will include all water mains, valves and hydrants. The project will be undertaken by B.M. Ross and Associates at a cost of approximately $1,000 to $1,200. "Utility mapping should have been done years ago," said Reeve Herb Clark. A permit to build a driveway was granted by council to Donald England of Campbell Street subject to distance re- quirements of the Ministry of Transporta- tion and Communication. Council received a letter from the Salva- tion Army asking for a contribution from the municipality. Council decided to give COUNCIL $250 to the charitable organization. Property Chairman John McLeod presented council with a number of estimates from area plumbing contractors for the proposed renovations to the base- ment aserent of the Lucknow Town Hall. Reeve Herb Clark said the rough estimates will be used to determine the total cost of the project, which he expects to be approx- imately $42,000. Tenders will be called in the near future for the renovations ex- pected to begin this winter. Council is also exploring the possibility of receiving a 50 per cent government grant for the project. Council gracefully declined a challenge from neighboring municipalities to send an eight -man team for the tug-of-war con- test at the Port Albert Sesquicentennial Celebrations in August.

[Photo by Alan Rivett] Wheel-a4hon raises money for Alzheimers Society research In support of senior citizens the residents of Pinecrest are raising funds for Alzheimers Disease during Nursing Home Week, June 16 to 20. This is a dehabilitating disease that affects over 300,000 middle aged and elderly Canad- ians which can't be ignored any longer. All funds raised during Nursing Home Week will be donated to the Alzheimers Society of Canada. Pinecrest residents held their Wheel-A-Thon on June 13 since the school children help. They would be busy every day of Nursing Home Week since it is their last four days of school. These kids may have called on you with their pledge sheets. All the money isn't in as yet but the final total will be published later in the paper. There were a total of 66 people on the Wheel-A-Thon this year. They appreciate the co-operation of the staff at the Super Scoop for letting them disrupt their busy schedule when they all landed there for ice cream cones. This year the Post Office staff supplied punch and cookies, for the residents on the way back. In 1984-85 the Ontario Nursing Home Association raised over $90,000 for medical research into Alzheimers Disease, thanks to public donations. Alzheimers is a brain disorder causing memory loss and serious mental deteriora- tion. There is no known prevention or cure for the disease that is the fourth most common cause of death among Canadians. Men and women from age 40 onwards can be affected by Alzheimers, with people over 65 being the most vulnerable. The ailment may last from two to fourteen years after onset. Significant memory loss is the first symptom, and as the person grows more forgetful, other mental capacities deteriorate until routine daily tasks become impossible to perform. Eventually the person requires constant care and atten- tion. Alzheimers Disease was once thought to be the result of senility or of simply growing old. It is now recognized as a specific disease for which, in time, medical science will discover the cause, treatment and prevention. Extensive research is presently being carried out in Ontario. Donations can also be made at the nursing horse. Anyone donating over $5 will receive a pen with Alzheimers printed in gold and blue. Tickets for a draw on a six piece wicker bathroom set are also available at the Nursing Home.
