HUBERTUS “BERT” VAN LAMMEREN Hubertus "Bert" Van Lammeren of Clinton, formerly of Blyth passed away Oct. 14, 1994 at Queensway Nursing Home in Hen­ Expert says to taper off feeding in mid-Apr. Continued from page 4 taper off feeding sometime in mid­ April of the following year. This way, you ensure that any birds that do decide to overwinter would have done so anyway. I recommend that you not overfeed birds during the summer, and instead consider planting a variety of attractive trees, shrubs or plants. This natural cover also provides them with an area to rest arid build nests, and is a source of primary food and secondary food in the form of insects. Some trees which attract birds include birch, balsam, fir and maple. Honeysuckle, highbush blueberry, and wild raspberry are just several examples of shrubs that are popular with birds. Groupings of black-eyed Susans, chrysanthe­ mums and asters are flowering plants which will also encourage birds. To simplify matters, birds can be broken down into two groups, those which eat insects and those which eat seeds, although there is some crossover in nature. However, since most birds fall into these sail, Ontario. He was 85. Mr. Van Lammeren was a mem­ ber of the St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, Clinton and a for­ mer member of St. Michael's Church, Blyth.

Cremation has taken place in Victoria, B.C. categories, leaving food out for them does not pose any major problems. Birds also require a small amount of grit in their diet during the winter, and this can be obtained at a local store. For insect eating birds, ordinary beef suet js a good source of food; when buying it from your grocer, ask for suet that is "short" rather than stringy. Chunks can be placed in an open mesh bag by itself. You can also melt the suet and mix in good quality wild bird seed, and then when it cools place this out for both seed and insect eating birds. When buying bird seed, obtain a good quality mix that includes sunflower, millet, wheat, cracked com and other ingredients. Make sure that there is no mold or other contaminants that have been accidentally included in the mix. Place all food up high where cats cannot reach feeding birds, and oh yes, expect other visitors like squirrels and raccoons to visit your feeder - they know a good thing when they find it.

Bd. of Health accepts grant After much huffing and puffing the Huron County Board of Health has finally agreed to accept a grant to promote anti-smoking efforts in the county, as long as the money is for education, not enforcement. The board at its June meeting had turned down the $25,000 grant which would have provided an additional half-time public health inspector to inspect an additional 300 premises in the county in order to comply with provincial Bill 119. The Tobacco Control Act which brings tighter controls on the sale of tobacco to minors and requires more control on smoking areas. A motion at the Board of Health said members "detest the manner in which this money is being allocated and that it would prefer it be allo­ cated toward education". That resulted in an emotional lec­ ture from Dr. Maarten Bokhout, medical officer of health, at the Plan still in very early stages Continued from page 1 McBride. The plan is still in the very early stages as it still must be approved by the Ontario Energy Board and an environmental assessment must be complete. There is still a lot of work to be done and decisions to be made before the proposal can go ahead, he said. Senior Environmental Planner, Tony Vadlja for Union Gas is working on the final report, includ­ ing the public input, which should Humpty Dumpty POTATO CHIPS Assorted Varieties 100 g Bag Fresh Grade A WHOLE CHICKENS 1.96 kg Knechtel CHEESE BLOCKS Assorted Varieties 800 g Pkg. .99 .89 ib.4.99 Olinda Pure APPLE JUICE 48 oz.

"Enforcing is also educa­ tion. Enforcing brings people the ability to have to pay attention." But at the Aug. 10 meeting of the board of health a motion approved accepting the grant so an action plan could be developed for use of the money. This would provide for education only, not enforcement, including providing information on smoking's dangers through the media and schools and distributing information on Bill 119 to retailers and others affected by the legisla­ tion. Included in the budget will be supplies and support material and $9,000 for a part-time person to develop graphics, and present information. Even this did not win support from everyone, however. County council representatives Tom be completed by the end of Octo­ ber. His report will be just part of the submission to be approved by the Energy Board, says Mr. McBride. The Community Expansion Team from Union Gas who are working on the project are a com­ bined team from the Waterloo and London offices. Anyone interested in obtaining information from the final report may call Tony Vadlja at 1-800- 265-5230. Tomes, reeve of Stephen, and Bill Clifford, deputy-reeve of Goderich put forward a motion at the board of Health that would have turned down the latest proposal but it was defeated. A motion by Bill Van­ stone, reeve of Colbome, and Pat Down, reeve of Usbome, to accept the proposal was carried. But even at county council, where councillors now have power to overturn Board of Health deci­ sions, there were more questions. Bob Hallam, reeve of West Wawanosh, felt it should be the board of education that is charged with anti-smoking/education. He worried about being stuck with on­ going costs once the $25,000 grant runs out. Dave Gower, deputy-reeve of Goderich Twp. and head of the Health and Senior Citizens Com­ mittee said it is the responsibility of the board of health to provide the educational materials for the schools. Dr. Bokhout said that when the provincial support stops, the program will stop. But Lionel Wilder, reeve of Hay and an ex-smoker, called the expenditure a waste of money. Kids already know they shouldn't smoke, he said. "Take them to hospitals. Show what it does to them," he said, claiming that would have a much better effect on them than more pamphlets. He argued against looking at the provincial grants as found money. "It's our money. The province doesn't have a tree it grows on."
