The corporation is modest about receiving the award for the work they do. They help new business people research their ideas, prepare business plans and offer alternative financing. They encourage young people to look into starting their own businesses as a career option. They work with and support organizations and community groups that try , to improve economic development in the area. They make it possible for approximately 350 new jobs to be created in Huron County each year. The non-profit corporation receives some federal funding and support but goes to much effort trying to increase the number of jobs available in the county each year. Critics might counter the idea of 350 new jobs being created doesn't take into account the number of jobs that are lost each year when small businesses close or industries and business downsize but regardless, those are 350 jobs that might not exist to even replace some of the other jobs lost. And the corporation has sought out every town's business improvement association to find a project on which to work with them that would potentially lead to job creation. Yet few people realize how much work really does come out of the Huron Business Centre which houses the HBDC. While the corporation is modest about receiving- the--sword,-it's great to see. them receive the recognition and gives us a chance to look at the work they do.

It's a time for all Canadians - children, teenagers and adults -- to learn from them, and to show them how much we care. National Child Day is being celebrated across the country with special activities and events promoting National Child Day and children's issues. Children and youth are people in their own right but we don't always take the time to appreciate them for who they are and for everything they bring us. The blue ribbon is the symbol of National Child Day. it is a sign of the love shared between adults and children themselves. It's a simple way to show that children matter. The key to ensuring abetter future for all children in our community lies in our ability to work together in partnership. Ribbons have been brought to you from Seaforth Co - Operative Children's Centre Inc. and are available throughout the Seaforth business community. Celebrate all children. Shirley Brooker O'Briens have been great friends The following is part of a letter sent by Lucas McMillan to his parents, Bonnie and Keith in Seaforth. Mom and Dad: Please send my best wishes and congratulations to the O'Briens on their award. That makes a very special statement about the kind of people that they are. We have always known them to be great friends, but now we can see that we are not the only ones who appreciate it. I try to read the Expositor every week, it helps make me miss home less. 1 have been reading on the internet ever since I have been able to, having m6ved away four years ago it is an excellent way to keep up on events in the community. 1 applaud the Huron Exposritor on the use of the- internet, and look forward to continuing to he able to see what is happening in Seaforth and area, even when I am not there to see it in person. Lucas Sensitive skin, it hurts just to say it Sensitive skin - ouch! It hurts just to say it, and that's because most people have experienced the raw, itchy, inflamed skin condition at one time or another. According to recent study polls, 40% of people complain about' having sensitive skin. And the suffering, according to the Allergy/Asthma Information Association seems to be even more prevalent among women, who have thinner, drier skin (two predisposing factors) than men. Women also use a greater number of cosmetics, the majority of which contain irritants, such as fragrance, preservatives, and binding agents. Men, though, can still experience sensitive reactions from shaving, extreme temperatures, various skin disorders (acne, rosacea, psoriasis), and sun exposure. So what's wrong with sensitive skin? A number of dermatology studies around the world have shown that it seems to have a damaged barrier function in the outermost layer of skin, and a tendency to overreact to irritants. Sensitive skin also showed more dryness overall and a higher rate of transepidermal water loss (TEWL), or dehydration. Those with sensitive skin should also know that their problem can be made worse by a number of factors, which can trigger more pronounced reactions. As Dr. Ron Vender, a Hamilton dermatologist and an assistant clinical professor, Department of Medicine, McMaster University, explains, "Skin that's sensitive can be easily irritated by the use ,of cosmetic products, as well as normal environmental changes, such as cold or hot temperatures." For example, during the summer, sensitive skin has to put up with sweat, chlorine, heat and humidity. In winter, delicate complexions feel the ravages of freezing temperatures, windburn, drying indoor heating, and abrasive fabrics such as wool. Sensitive skin can't very well turn the other cheek on winter conditions, but it can bolster its physical defenses to minimize the assaults waged on it by the cold weather season. Since prevention is better than cure, the single most important tactic against potsential irritation is to preserve the natural oily` layer that protects skin and holds in moisture, called the lipid barrier. That means a skin care plan that starts with a non -irritating cleanser, such as Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, a moisturizing PH balanced formula that's free of soap, fragrance, and astringents. Then finish your skin care routine with an equally non- irritating moisturizer. such as Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion 9r Cream, which will help sensitive skin to better shield itself against the elements. Also keep in'mind that once skin has been offended, anything you do next can feel literally like rubbing salt in the wound. "Basically," explains Dr. Vender, "the more external trauma to the skin you have. the harder skin has to work to maintain that barrier mechanism." For that reason. be aware of seasonal sources of irritation, and react before your skin does.
