Huron florists contribute $2,300 towards
breast screening for county women

The Huron County Health Unit is
encouraging all women - especially
those 50 years or older - to partici-
pate in the Ontario Breast
Screening Program (OBSP).
Even those women without a fam-
ily doctor can participate by calling
and making an appointment at 1-
800-461-0640.
Luann Taylor, of Luann's Country
Flowers, feels women under the age
of 50 should also be tested regularly.
She was diagnosed with breast
cancer at the age 39.
After being diagnosed and treated
for breast cancer, she devised the
Take Care campaign.
Each year area florists - including
Blooms and Rooms and Flower
Magic in Seaforth - donate $5 from
each bouquet of carnations sold dur-
ing the Month of October to the
Huron County breast screening clin-
ic.
More than $2,300 was raised this
past October and more than $4,300
has been raised in three years.
All the money raised stays within
Huron County to help raise aware-
ness for breast cancer and screen-
ing.
Each bouquet sold also comes
with a pamphlet about self breast
exams.
"Even if it helps just one woman,
it's worth it," Taylor said.
Anne Haley, public health nurse
with the Huron County Health
Unit, said, "With breast cancer
remaining the most common female
cancer and the second leading cause
of cancer death in women...finding
Brussels looking
for new lights
The Brussels Business Group has
asked Huron East for help to
replace its downtown Christmas
lighting with "heritage looking
lanterns" with energy efficient light-
ing that can be left up yearround.
A letter from co-chair Chris Ten
Pas said replacing every fixture will
cost from $8,000 to $10,000 and the
business group is approaching coun-
cil, local organizations and the
Brussels trust for financial assis-
tance.
There are 15 light decorations and
a star for the Christmas tree at the
Medical -Dental building. The cur-
rent lights were made by the
Brussels fire department approxi-
mately 25-30 ago.
"The business group is not in a
financial position to make this pur-
chase," said the letter.
The request was referred to coun-
cil's budget deliberations.
breast cancer earlier through
screening, when treatment has a
better chance, makes sense."
She said the OBSP's goal is to
screen 70 per cent of the 1.4 million
Ontario women aged 50-69 every
two years by 2010.
"In Huron County, we are current-
ly screening about a third of our eli-
gible women," she said. "So we have
work to do to get the message out
there for women to participate."
According to the OBSP, three-
quarters of the women they diag-
nose with breast cancer have small
cancers that have not spread to the
lymph nodes.
For many women, earlier detec-
tion of cancer may allow for breast
conserving surgery. As well,
chemotherapy and/or hormonal
therapy may not be necessary.
For every 200 women screened by
the OBSP, 16 are referred for fur-
ther tests and one will have breast
cancer.
Most women - more than 95 per
cent - are alive and well five years
after early detection and treatment
of breast cancer.
