Picking up the plow
A plow contractor working for the Ministry of Transportation ended up in the ditch and
had to be towed out just west of Seaforth on Highway 8 when a snow squall caused a tem-
porary white-out Monday morning. Heavy snow and high winds caused hazardous driv-
ing conditions in the region on Monday.

Many choose to quit
smoking as New
Year's resolution
By Jason Middleton
Expositor Staff
Although it is only halfway
into the first month of 2005,
many people said that by now
they have already broken their
New year's resolution.
"I think a lot of people
aren't able to keep them so
they start out with good inten-
tions and they get depressed
later on," said Gadshill resi-
dent Mary Fisher, adding that
people might get frustrated
with the process.
"It's hard to keep them, so I
just never make them," said
Fisher. "I never have"
Randy Lammerant, of
Seaforth, said that it's really
hard to keep resolutions.
"I figure if I'm going to do
something, I'm going to do it
on my own," he said. "I don't
need new year's resolutions to
make myself a better person."
Lammerant said that he has
tried making resolutions, but
he didn't want one this year
because they usually fail.
"I didn't make one this year
because every other year I
tried to quit smoking and it
never seems to work on the
new years," said Lammerant.
"I try to keep it all year, but
it never happens," said
Lammerant. "Last time I did a
new year's resolution to quit
smoking, I went four
months"
Elelaine Van Wonderen, of
Bayfield, said that usually
only keeps her resolutions for
two weeks.
"I just fall off them all the
time," said Van Wonderen. "I
just have no will power."
Teresa Noxell, of Seaforth,
said that she hasn't made a
new year's resolution for
years.
"I don't even make them
any more," Noxell said. "If I
make up my mind to some-
thing I do it. That's it"
"I never was a person who
made a whole bunch of new
year's resolutions," said
Noxell.
Noxell said had a simple
answer when asked what her
most successful resolution
was.
"My most successful? Any
one that I kept," she said.
While some said that they
tried to lose weight as part of
their resolution, a majority
said they had tried to quit
smoking as their new year's
resolution.
Ben MacLeod, of Clinton,
said that his resolution to quit
smoking this year started out
as a good intention, but quick
failed.
"There's always next year,"
MacLeod said. "Isn't that
what they say?"
MacLeod said that this year
his resolution to quit smoking
lasted a day, but adds that he
has cut back.
"I've slimmed down a lot. I
think that's the secret is to
lean yourself off."
Looking at how much you
smoke and try to cut back,
MacLeod said, is the way to
try and quit smoking.
"Cold turkey won't work
for me," said MacLeod, a 15 -
year smoker. "I've smoked for
too long."
Noxell said that she has had
several resolutions gone awry.
"I would say my most
unsuccessful were that I tried
to quit smoking a couple
times," said Noxell.
Lammerant said that for
him trying to quit smoking
around New Years is a mis-
take.
"There's no sense trying to
do it at new years because it's
party time. I'll do it when I'm
ready to quit I guess," said
Lammerant.
According to Sandra Feltz,
co-chair of the Coalition for a
Smoke Free Huron -Perth,
preparation is the key to stop
smoking.
"We know that quitting
smoking isn't easy, but with
the right plan, a good support
system and good incentives, it
can be done," Feltz said.
The Huron County Health
Unit, along with the Ontario
Quit Smoking 2005 contest
are offering daily smokers
who are thinking about smok-
ing a chance to win a 2005
Ford Mustang.
Smokers who register the
contest website at
www.quitsmokingontario.ca
ca and quit smoking for at
least one month on Feb. 1, can
win the Mustang or one of
seven regional prizes.
Participants •in the program
must also find a buddy who
wants to quit smoking as well.
"Many smokers have tried
to quit before. It often takes
many attempts before smok-
ers can quit for good," Feltz
said. "The contest provides an
added incentive to try again."
