The Citizen, 2000-12-06, Page 3Hr! ? fl FROM BLYTH THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2000. PAGE 3. Letter writer says thanks THE EDITOR, I had a wonderful experience on Tuesday, Nov. 21 (the week of our first winter blast) and I felt com­ pelled to write a short note in our paper. I was- taking my dog Ben for a walk and we toured up the main street of Bly th. It was such an inspir­ ing sensation with the fresh snow, sparkling lights and decorations. The strains of Oh Holy Night started up (on our new sound system) and I paused for a moment trying to soak it all in. It truly was a moment in time for me! There are many people to thank for the work they have done to enhance our village and that is why I am writing to express my thanks to all of them. Job well done! If you have a moment this Christmas season take the time to stroll the village and main street and realize how lucky we are to have what we have. Thanks for your time. Azetta Gibbons. J. Nethery, G.

We still have some openings for 2001 weddings! 523-9892 Water test results from the Blyth water supply in the Village of Blyth indicate a fluoride level of 1.7 mg/L (milligrams per litre). This level exceeds, the Ontario Drinking Water Objectives of l .5 mg/L. According to a public health notice from the health unit, fluoride is a common element in the earth’s crust and occurs naturally in water. Fluoride levels in water may vary widely from one area to the next. The ideal is in a range of 0.3 mg/L to l .2 mg/L. This is the level at which the population obtains optimal benefit in the prevention of dental caries with the absence of teeth mottling or skeletal fluorosis. Adverse effects of fluoride in drinking water above L5 mg/L and below 2.4 mg/L are cosmetic in nature (dental mottling in a small portion of the population). Excess fluoride may interfere with enamel formation in developing teeth in children (fluorosis) between two to three years of age. Children may be affected with mild to severe fluorosis.Parents with infants should shun the use of fluoride supplements and fluoridated toothpaste until the child is older than three. Bottled water may be considered, but parents APQTHEEARY should check the fluoride content of the bottle water they intend to pur­ chase. Reverse osmosis treatment for drinking water may be used to remove some of the fluoride content in the water. Consult manufacturer’s specifications.
