Some county merchants
still sell smokes to kids
Despite current legislation, the
sale of tobacco to minors continues
to be a problem in Huron County.
A compliance check conducted
in November 1995 by the Huron
County Health Unit found that 20
per cent of tobacco retailers were
willing to sell cigarettes to a pair of
15 and 16-year-olds. The Tobacco
Control Act makes it illegal to "sell
or supply tobacco products to
persons under 19 years of age."
As of Aug. 12, the Huron County
Health Unit has charged seven
local stores with selling tobacco to
minors. Fines have ranged from
$150 to $250. If a retailer is
convicted of a second offense, they
will lose their right to sell tobacco
for six months.
"The problem of adolescents who
smoke is a serious one", said Klaus
Seeger, director of Healthy
Environments at the Huron County
Health Unit. "Ideally, we want to
prevent adolescents from starting to
smoke. Most long-term smokers
begin smoking when they are
teenagers. Because tobacco is very
addictive, it is extremely difficult to
quit once you have become a
regular smoker. If we can limit
minors' access to tobacco, then
hopefully we can prevent them
from becoming regular smokers."
The Huron County Health Unit is
asking for your help in identifying
retailers who arc selling cigarettes
to minors. Parents and concerned
citizens should call the Health Unit
at 482-3416 or 1-800-265-5184 (if
long distance). All calls arc treated
as confidential.
The Health Unit's involvement
with the Tobacco Control Act is
part of a comprehensive tobacco
strategy mandated by the Ministry
of Health. It includes yducation in
the schools, the creation of smoke-
free public places and workplaces,
and support for individuals who
want to quit smoking.

a total score of 40 for our side, 39
for the visitors. They each received
a standing ovation and much
adulation from their teammates!
August ushered in the best
weather we'd had since last
summer. Everyone put on lighter
clothes and sat for hours soaking up
the fresh air and sunshine, admiring
the lovely flowers that Cheryl
McLaughlin had planted and which
are perking up the grounds. The
courtyard looks especially nice,
with its hot pink and glossy white
geraniums and the burgundy pink
petunias with their white frill
around the outer edge.
We started the month with a
barbecue in the courtyard. It was
very windy that day and kept
blowing people's hats off and
causing many a merry chase! Dave
McArthur was cooking that day. He
did a marvellous job.
Several residents patronize the
dining out program sponsored by
the young adults of the United
Church of Brussels and held in the
church basement. These meals are
perfectly cooked and very tasty.
They give everyone a change,
though, the food served at Huronlea
is tasty. Nevertheless this change is
welcome to anyone who can afford
it. Quite a few residents avail
themselves of the opportunity. Mr.
Jack Beatty is one who attends
quite regularly.
We have a little, but very prolific
vegetable garden, which supplies
us with lettuce, radishes, beans and
peas. The just-picked flavour is
much appreciated. We are looking
forward to our own ripe tomatoes
when, and if they ripen. Most of us
have been gardeners in our day. We
are less ambitious this year,and
Western world mired
don't have so many different
veggies; no cucumbers, squash or
potatoes which require a lot of
space!
On Thursday, Aug. 8, right after
our second barbecue we took
ourselves out to the foyer to meet
an area farmer, Ken Connelly, who
has two interesting hobbies — rope
making, and collecting antique
tools and gadgets. He made sample
ropes of various lengths and
thicknesses. They were made from
baler twine. Some of them were
quite pretty, as he has twine of
several different colours.
Among the tools were quite a
few early types of adjustable
wrenches and various screwdriver
heads slotted into the one handle.
There were also, at least a dozen oil
cans or dispensers. They each were
used for one specific purpose and
were nearly useless for anything
else.
He also showed us an example of
the first ratchet wrench.
Aug. 14 Steve and Cindy took
four residents in the little van, to
Listowel, where we had lunch in
the Zellers cafeteria. Afterward
Steve and Cindy went shopping for
games to amuse the residents and
came home with a volleyball, set of
pins, two balls for bowling and
some lawn darts.
Next day we tried out the games
in the courtyard, having "Fun in the'
Sun". Levi Carter once again
demonstrated his dexterity in
playing all kinds of games.
Among the staff changes recently
are Deanne Delve, Mary
Alexander, Jan Rutledge, all of
whom have come here from
Clinton to work on the nursing
side. In the kitchen, is Janice
Beaver.

you read, there are more jobs out
there than you think.
There is a little formula that I
teach all my Economics students. It
goes something like this: Marginal
Revenue Product is greater than
Marginal Factor Cost. Stripped of
all its economic jargon, it means: If
you can contribute more to a
company's revenue than it costs to
employ you, the company is crazy
to let you go at any time. Keep this
attitude in mind.
The western world is mired in
high levels of unemployment. You
might remember one of J.M.
Keynes' sayings in mind. It is better
to be roughly right than precisely
wrong. You may not get precisely
the job you want but concentrate on
working in the general direction.
You may end up being more
successful than you think.
