These are only a few of the questions that should have been asked. They are only as few of the issues that the Board should be researching and delving into. Those of you who have any concerns arising out of my presentation of my concerns I plan to be in attendance at the next Tri Municipal Sewer Board meeting at the South Huron Recreation Center Friday the 1st of April 2011 at the South Huron Recreation Center at 10:00 A.M.

Wednesda , March 30, 2011 • Lakeshore Advance 5 Commvnity Exciting week at Stephen Central Stephen Central Baylee and Emily Wow , this has been such an excit- ing week back . While all the students enjoyed the somewhat sunny march break we are right back into the school work, This past week at Stephen we had our school wrapped up for our QSP Magazine sales and also held our buy out, where grades 4-8 could buy themselves out of class to watch a movie in the gym compli- ments of student council. Students brought their pillows and blankets to curl up and enjoy the movie Despica- ble Me. Also on Friday we held our monthly Terrific Kids assembly where we recognize two students from each class room who demonstrate the designated attribute for that month. This past month was Optimism and we had lots of students recognized for showing the optimism around the school. Also at our assembly our Grade 7/8 class presented short skits about Earth Hour and how we can help conserve energy by turning off our lights and taking different actions to help save our Earth. Talk to you next week. Sincerely yours RM, (Bob) Sharon St. Anne's back to work afterg reat March break South Huron warns water customers to the Editor, 'I'o our water customers : Please be advised of a potential water filter scam. Some customers have been approached by an individual going door-to-door requesting a sample of their tap water. This individual would return later with the results of water sampling; and try to convince the homeowner to purchase a very expensive home water filter system. The Municipality is not taking these samples and is not affiliated with any company selling home water filter systems. South Huron drinking water is rigorously tested by Municipal Staff and is full compliance with all Regu- lations. Our drinking water is completely safe and requires no further treatment. We strongly advise all our customers, especially our Seniors, to be wary of any door-to-door sales. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Municipality of South Huron, Environmental Serv- ices Department at 519-235-0310.
