Saintsbury sewer project plows ahead By Craig Bradford T -A Reporter -LUCAN Future Biddulph Township residents will benefit from Herdonjoe's Herman Lan - sink's generous but self -benefitting offer to front the cost of Lucan's Main St. sewer extension past Saintsbury Line into the township. The good news surfaced at a re- cent township council meeting. Lansink will pay the $21,769 cost of the project which Biddulph Township. will pay•hack within 30 years. Biddulph administrator Larry Hotson said. The move will not only give fu- ture Biddulph residents the option of hooking up to Lucan's sewer system but will benefit Lansink's businesses on the northeast corner of Main/Saintsbury, as well as oth- er businesses there that have had problems with their septic tanks. The work is expected to be done by the lowest bidding contractor, Elgin Construction of St. Thomas, by sometime this week, Hotson said. There was a con- cern the township couldn't enter into a binding agree- ment to pay Lan - sink back because it -didn't have a de- velopment charge bylaw but changes to the Municipal Act that take effect on Jan. 1, 1998 will make the move possible, Hot - son said. In other Biddulph council news, Middlesex County appointed amal- gamation facilitator William Thom- son met with Hotson and deputy clerk Joan Goddard recently to get their input on possible mergers with neighboring municipalities. Notes from their two and a half hour meeting are being kept con- fidential from council so not to influence coun- cillors during Thomson's meet- ing with them next month. "Both Joan and I recommended that some amal- gamations could be beneficial but bigger doesn't necessarily mean better," Hotson said of the fallout from their meeting with Thomson. "... some amalgamations could be beneficial but bigger doesn't necessarily mean better." • B A K E ss� A A R J E W E L L E R s L T D_ • I WHY SHOP AT BAKELAAR JEWELLERS Here's Some Good Reasons...

You can do this by donating blood at the Canadian Red Cross Society -London Centre clinic at Lucan Memorial Community Cen- tre on Dec. 2 from 6 p.m. -9 p.m. Red Cross recruiter Carol Mitch- ell said the goal is to again collect 60 units of blood (one drawn per donor). The July clinic in Lucan generated 64 units of blood, four above the target. Who can donate blood'? Anyone between age 17-71 (first time do- nors must start before age 61), over 110 lbs and has waited at least 56 days since their last donation. Do- nors must be in good general health and must bring photo identification. Women who are breast feeding their child have to wait three months after your last feeding to donate blood, women who have just given birth and are not breast feeding must wait six months after delivery to give blood; those who have had any kind of body piercing or tattoo work must wait a year be- fore giving blood. People on some kinds of med- ication may not be able to donate blood.

The donation process takes about an hour with the actual donation taking about 10 minutes. The rest of the time is spent on doc- umentation and physical tests, Mitchell said. Here's what happens during a typical donation: the donor is re- ceived by Red Cross staff or vol- unteers; a blood type and blood iron test is done after a finger prick; the donor then fills out a health questionaire in private and then dis- cusses it with a Red Cross staff member who takes the donor's blood pressure and temperature to make sure they aren't coming down with any kind of illness; the dona- tion is next, with a rest period and refreshment (juice or pop and cook- ies) to end the donation. Mitchell said blood is especially needed during the holiday season because of the higher number of traffic accidents and other trauma/ emergency health cases and be- cause regular donors are sometimes unavailable due to their holiday schedules.
