It exercises every muscle in the body and cleans out the circulatory system. She advised everyone to work on having a sense of humour and to practise walking down the street with a smile. Her demonstration of her "tools of the trade" brought forth many healthy "belly laughs".

Hydro asks for assistance In memoriam The memorial service at Ball's Cemetery, south of Auburn, drew a large crowd on the sunny, but cool July 2 as family, friends and community members marked the occasion. TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Clean up • A project of PITCH-IN CANADA in conjunction with The United Nations Environment Program world' UNEP Gardeners, runners, bikers, hikers, sports enthusiasts and thousands of others enjoy the open air and green space on the land under the 21,000 kilometres of Ontario Hydro's transmission lines that cross the province. The largest of those transmission lines are "extra-high voltage", 500,000-volt lines that deliver_ power to transformer stations in urban centres to be stepped down to service homes, businesses, hospitals, schools and other public agencies. The lines are supported by large towers. They cross the landscape and have always been a sign of electricity supply to every city, town, village and rural community throughout Ontario. The transmission lines and towers cover 82,000 hectares of land - rights of way - across the province. Ontario Hydro uses different types of towers to support the extra high voltage lines. The lofty steel towers, which weigh up to 6,800 kilograms and reach a height of more than 35 metres, can be vulnerable to vandalism and other "damage.. "In the last several months we've -,had three instances when transmission line towers have been damaged," says Finn Rimmer, Manager - Grid lines at Ontario Hydro. In each case bolts were removed from the lower part of the tower. "Two of the three towers that were damaged fell over, which meant the transmission lines were out of service. These 500,000-volt lines are vital because they send large amounts of power from generating stations through the network to points all across Ontario," Rimmer adds. It takes anywhere from four days to two weeks to repair and re-erect damaged transmission towers. Along with the threat to the supply of electricity, Ontario Hydro says tower damage has serious safety and economic consequences.
