Lakeshore Advance
Not unlike many small towns in
Southern Ontario Exeter was without a
hospital until 1953. Medical services
were provided by a number of doctors
Cifrom the 1870's onwards. As many as 10
/ doctors practiced it, Exeter at one time,
one of these, Dr. Hugh K, tyndman had
a small hospital in rooms above his
office on Main Street; this facility oper-
ated from about 1918 to the mid 1920's.
There were nursing homes, maternity
homes, private hospitals and Doctors'
offices. The South l luron hospital Asso-
ciation owes its very existence to it
group Of passionate people who saw the
need for a local hospital and worked
diligently gathering support and funds
until the hospital doors opened in
1953.
Formed in 1982, the South Moron
I ospital Foundation was created to
ensure access to health care anti equip-
ment in our communities. Since then
the Foundation has operated with a
passionate and caring board of direc-

tal campaign. "We are very proud of the
contributions we have been able to

It's that time of year again when we start to
prepare for the ghosts and goblin's return on
Halloween night. We all know how much the
children love this holiday, but that doesn't
mean we have to throw their health and nutri-
tion to the side line.
This year, instead of handing out the tradi-
tional chocolate and candy, why not think out-
side the box and try handing out an alternative
solution. By now I'm sure most have heard
about the child obesity pandemic that's spread-
ing around North America, think of this as your
chance to do your part!
Afenlative Ideas:
Small Change
Black or orange Playdoh (homemade or store
Nought)
Glow sticks
Silly bands
Seed packets (flowers,
vegetables )
Bouncy balls
Necklace beads
Halloween pens, pencils, erasers
Halloween stickers or temporary tattoo's
Raisin's, pretzels, gold fish, hot chocolate or
cider packs
Bubbles, sunglasses, magnifying glass, whis-
tles (basically anything that's in the party
favour section of your nearest dollar store)
Here ars some Ideas you can do with the candy
your child does bring home:
Buy it back
Trade candy for toys
Candy experiment's (this work wells with ffr.z
candies)
Donate to whomever will take it
So this Halloween as you prepare for your
spooky guests, embrace your creative side, you
just might end up with the best house on the
block!
1 look forward to hearing how it went!
