Bob Gavreluk, an apartment owner in Belgrave, told council he believes the water bills should be sent to tenants and not the landlord as they are the ones receiving the service. He used curbside billing as an example. Though councillors agreed to investigate the matter, they will continue to bill the landlord for water usage, at present. Paperwork will begin to set up an agreement between the township and Ken Thompson, for the pur- chase of Lot 8, Conc. 2, presently owned by the township. Thompson initially, said he was not interested in the purchase, but when council suggested a two-year-payment plan, he agreed. Two estimates of value will be obtained. Council accepted the proposal for the Huron County Mutual Aid co- ordinator, with an annual cost of $245.77. Dave Ryan, Lot. 54, Conc. 1, will be billed for the fire call, Aug. 16, because he requested the atten- dame of the fire department during file demolition of a building. A..0,1aw was passed to adopt a diemellikion permit for Lot 28, Cow_ 3_ Nursing Services. They presented the topic of osteoporosis with the help of an overhead projector, a video tape, hand-out information sheets and also a display of foods containing calcium. Each took a turn at discussing risk factors, treatment and other information pertaining to the subject. Women are more prone to developing this problem than men. Also, men don't have enough information on the subject. It was of great interest to the women present to learn more about_this disorder. Early signs are back pain and fractures. A bone density test can be done to determine if osteoporosis is present and treatment can include diet, exercise, hormone replace- ment therapy and drug therapy. A sufficient amount of calcium in the diet is necessary and perhaps calcium supplement if suggested by a doctor. Some good sources of calcium are milk and other dairy products, sardines, salmon with bones included, broccoli, oranges. Regular exercise is needed. Weight bearing exercise is best such as walking or dancing. Fractures are a common problem for those with osteoporosis or porous bones. Improving the safety factor in the home was highlighted by the speakers. A video titled "Stalking the Silent Thief" was shown. The speakers were thanked for their informative discussion and display. At the conclusion of the meeting Grace was sung and lunch was served by Isabelle Craig and Jean Nethery.
