WINGHAM - According to Mike Scott of the Ontario
Provincial 'Police's Special Crime Unit, every year
Huron has the highest number of marijuana plants
seized in Ontario.
Scott spoke to a small group at the Brussels arena
last Wednesday evening on how to spot marijuana
growing and what to do if it is found.
Area farmers and members of the neighborhood
watch were able to learn about the plant itself and the
�T i
process of growing it.

EXETER -- The movement to improve health care in
Exeter is continuing with a group looking into setting
up a primary health centre in town.
Maureen Cole of the South Huron Hospital said the
push to bring a health care centre' to Exeter came out
of the doctor recruitment committee. She said the com-
mittee realized if it was to bring more doctors to the
area it would need more office space.
The committee to bring a clinic to town is "just in the
growing stages now" Cole says. She says it has to look
at a model on which to base its project and adds it will
be similar to Grand Bend's upcoming clinic, which has
received funding from the government.
A health clinic in Exeter, Cole says, will focus not only
on the "curative or the medical side ... but the preven-
tion and promotion side of health."
Right now, Cole says she is trying to get the commu-
nity involved and to get the community thinking about
what kind of health care clinic the town needs.
She said the group is still looking for people to come
forward and help with the project. There are four
areas that need to be looked into, according to Cole:
public administration, technology, human resources
and property and finance: Eventually, a location is
g to have to be decided on for the new clinic.
mole said that decision will come after the group
decides exactly how much space it needs and what
kind of services it will offer. That information will come
from a survey that will go out to Exeter residents, ask-
ing them what their health needs are.
"Once we get those results, then we will know what
kind of a clinic we need."
The proposed Exeter clinic, Cole said, would serve a
10 kilometre area around Exeter. She said the
group is
limiting the clinic to the Exeter area bec4use it doesn't
want to interfere with efforts in Grand Bend or Zurich.

a:Jthlfla growing
Huron's mild `climate, sparse population, large water
sources and remote areas make it a great location to
plant pot.
"Canada is now a net exporter of marijuana," said
Scott speaking of the huge number of plants grown.
He went on to say that it is not just the recreation-
al users that are growing marijuana, but large .
businesses that include motorcycle gangs such
as Satan's Choice.
"When you have organized crime involved you
know there is money in it," he said.r,'_
The plant
Normally the plants are grovvn to a height of five' feet. ..,
Growers like to keep the plants -small and bushy. This
gives them more bud, the highest quality and most
expensive part to smoke.
The bud, or seed, has the highest consentration of THC
(tetrahydrocannabinol), the active ingredient in
marijuana.
One pound of bud can bring $3,000-4,000 on
:;:the street and can be harvested from as little as
one plant:
The rest of the plant can also be used, by adding
a solvent to chopped up stalk and cooking it. A
fire is built and the mixture placed over it until the liquid
