Level in King St. well too high MOH issues .nitrate warnin Hensall is still experiencing trouble wilt nitrates in water from its King Street well i)r. ii.R. ('fester, medical olhcer of health for Huron Comity. placed a warning in this paper last week saying "High levels of nitrates in water supplies have been known to have serious conse- quences in infants under :t months Of age. This chemical interferes with the ability of blood to bind oxygen whicti can result in oxygen shortage (blue babies) with c(11111 nued use. it does nal ailed o111cr in fants, children or adults, nor is it transferred via breast milk. This water is of good quality and safe for use by all other ages. Generally minerals are considered beneficial in most water supplies up to set limits. This is holetully a temporary problem and niay be affecting the water only during periods of heavy usage I King St. well use)." Elaborating further, Dr. Cieslar said the nitrate level in the King Street well has been slowly but steadily creeping up over the past few years. and is now above ac- ceptable limits. Ile said an ar- bitrary figure is picked by government authorities to err on the side of safety. The ad was placed in the paper to make Hensall residents aware of the situa- tion. The water in the village's other well on York Street is fine. I)r. ('tester said. and this water alone is used, unless lawn watering or other heavy demand triggers the autornatit' equipment 10 pump some water from the King Street well and mix it with the fork Street water. Dr. Cieslar emphasized there is no danger to a p reg- nant woman or her unborn child, or to a nursing mother and her baby, from Hensall water. An informative notice will accompany the next utility bills. Cieslar said the ministry of the environment' as well as the ministry of health are closely monitoring the situa- tion. Ile hopes a long -terns solution will soon be worked out. According to Hensall PU(' manager Lorne Archer, that is just what the village is working on. Another 400 -foot well has been drilled on York Street. Tests on water quali- ty, pumping and recovery rate are presently being car- ried out. Archer said the PUC can do nothing until all tests are completed, but hopes the new well will be' in operation as soon as possible. In the meaty-. time, anyone who wants to make sure of getting only York Street water for baby formula or other purlwses can take a container to the puniphouse at 8 a.ni. any morning, or arrange'another mutually acceptable time with Mr. Archer. Janis 13ishack had a word of reassurance for nursing mothers in Hensel]. "No one has phoned nie in a panic," she said, adding that La Leche League's evaluations are basically the same as those of concerned medical groups, city, govern- mental, health and en- vironmental agencies. One of these is that women should not give top breastfeeding their infants. The most cur- rent information suggests that while nitrates do enter breast milk, this is not a significant or dangerous source of nitrates for infants. Box 114, Hensall.

Douglas reunion Many years ago a fine little lady came to Hensoll with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Douglas. Irene Douglas was a school teacher, a devoted Sunday School teacher and friend to many. She spent several years teaching in llensell continuation school and taught Sunday School in the Hensall United Church. By her example, many fine young men and women went on to great careers. (There have been too many to name them all). After the death of her mother. Irene lived.with her father in the home now owned by Mrs. Gladys Col- eman. Following the death of Mr. Douglas. Irene moved to London where she worked in and for the United Church and visited the sick in hospitals, helped the poor and lonely. in June 1981 several of her former pupils gathered at the home of Minnie Noakes for a reunion and were able to bring Miss Douglas to Hensall for it. Unfortunately due to failing health this was the on- ly reunion she could attend. in 1982 the "girls" held their second reunion at the home of Minnie Noakes, but because of the rain that day, they decided to hold future reunions in the fellowship hall of the United Church. On Saturday June 18 many of the girls gathered in the hall for their third reuni,ni in honour of \Liss Douglas, now a pa- tient in Chateau Gardens, London. She will he 90 years old in September. Rev. Stan MacDonald en- joyed the fellowship of the former Hensall girls and join- ed with them fora sumptuous pot luck supper. The next reunion will be in the fellowship hall of the United Church on June 16, 1984. Any ladies who had Miss Douglas as a teacher or Sun- day School teacher are asked to contact 111r: Minnie Noakes, so their names may Ie added to the list. it is hoped the reunion will become an annual event.

Cieslar, medical officer of health, County of Huron. High levels of nitrates in water supplies have been known to hove had serious consequences in infants under 3 months of age.

This water is of good quality and safe for use by all other ages. Generally minerals are considered beneficial in most water supplies up to set limits.
