Dinosaur Museumobile at Goderich The Royal Ontario Museum’s Dinosaur Museumobile is on the road again to bring most popular col­ lection to the doorsteps of the Goderich area. The 23-metre (75-ft.) wheelchair accessible Dinosaur Museumobile is hard to miss. The colourful herd of dinosaurs, includ­ ing tyrannosaurus, stegosaurus and triceratops, race along the side of the trailer. At the entrance, visitors come face to face with the huge head of an albertosaurus, while roars, squeaks E.eoli levels close several beaches Recent beach water sampling of public beaches along Lake Huron have now shown E.eoli levels to be at unacceptable levels, (greater than 100 per 100 ml of water). The red signs warning bathers of polluted water were posted June 30 at the fol­ lowing beaches: Amberley, Goderich Main Beach, Blacks Point and Ashfield Twp. Park. The red warning signs indicate polluted waters and to swim at your own risk. The blue signs advising of tempo­ rary high E.eoli levels after a heavy rainfall and wave action are posted at the following beaches: Port Albert, Sunset Beach, St. Christopher’s Beach, Goderich, The Cove Beach, Goderich, Bayfield, Houston Heights, St. Josephs, Hay Twp., Port Blake, Wawanosh Conservation Area (Inland Maitland River), Bluevale Dam (Inland Maitland River) and Falls Reserve Conservation Area (Inland Maitland River).

The large amounts of rainfall that HU hosts community well workshop The Huron County Health Unit is hosting a workshop for small com­ munal well owners and operators on July 12. Wells with more than two households on one water supply are classified as a communal well. “During the past month the health unit has learned from our neighbours to the north that we need to protect our ground water and that we should not take the quality of our water for granted,” said senior public health inspector Klaus Seeger. Owners and operators of small communal wells in Huron County are urged to attend the free workshop on Wednesday, July 12 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Clinton Town Hall Auditorium. Experts from the Huron County Health Unit will review the construc­ tion of wells, Sampling procedures, interpretation of water sample results, and how to treat a small com­ munal well if there is a bacteria count in the water sample. Seeger hopes that small communal well owners and operators will “bring their desire to protect their water and their questions to the July 12 work­ shop.: Pre-register to Chris at the Health Unit (482-3416) by July 11. and other noises that scientists believe dinosaurs made, echo throughout the museumobile. Further inside the trailer are a series of realistic prehistoric settings. There is a swamp scene that shows a full skeletal albertosaurus attacking a nest of dinosaur hatchlings. A small gray dinosaur called an omithomimus running from dog­ sized dromaesaurs with razor sharp teeth and claws is showcased in another scene. Finally, a display of sand and stone Huron County has experienced recently have contributed to the unacceptable E.eoli levels. Health risks from swimming in contaminat­ ed waters range from stomach aches, diarrhea and vomiting to infections of the skin, ear and eyes. The risk is higher if swimmers accidentally swallow water or completely sub­ merge their heads. This behaviour is more common in younger children. The Huron County Health Unit monitors the water quality at 34 beaches along Lake Huron and inland rivers. walls embedded with skin, horns, and other specimens recreates the rugged terrain of Alberta’s Badlands. The final section in the trailer will examine a variety of extinction theo­ ries. All of the dinosaur skeletons in the museumobile were constructed from casts taken from actual dinosaur remains, recreated from fiberglass and then mounted bone by bone onto metal rods. The swampy cretaceous scenes from 70 million years ago and a wooded wall mural were painted by hand and enlarged by computer to fit the space.
