Capsule Comments
with Ernie Miatello
Did you know that 31% of Canadians didn't get
even one cold last year? Perhaps those people
washed their hands more than those who dlcl get a
cold. The cold virus can survive on hard surfaces
for up to three hours. So keep those hands clean.
Interest in herbal remedies is ever-increasing. Many of these products
have recognized chemical contertts which do exert some effect on the
body. The main problem, however, is the standardization of their con-
tent.
An ,Independent study of ginseng products available in Canada was
made by University of Guelph scientists. They analyzed 82 of these
products for their ginsenoside chemical content. Ginsenosides are re-
sponsible for ginseng's effects. They found varying amounts in the prep-
arations, but found that 21 of them contain no ginsenosides at all!
Herbal remedies contain chemicals that have a pharmacological effect
on the body. As with all drugs, caution and understanding of what you
are taking is important.

Vendor Mike Russelo displays one of his more valuable
sports cards, a 1951 Parkhurst reprint. The Exeter Sports
Card Show was held last Saturday at the Legion.
Sports cards a
costly pastime
Recent strikes and high prices
have weakened interest in sports
EXETER - The Exeter Sports Card Show was held this past Sat-
urday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Legion Hall on William
Street.
Event organizers and participants said that the interest among
young people in sports cards has dropped off with recent baseball
and hockey strikes. Some card vendors have protested by refusing
to sell baseball cards until players go back to work. The players
who are pictured on sports cards receive royalties each time a card is
sold.
The interest in non -sports cards has "gone haywire" says show
participant, Mike Russeio. Star Trek, Lion King, Spiderman, Bat-
man and Beauty and the Beast are among the cards. which young
_ people are collecting. Vendor Verne Robson says ilia,- these cards
have covered' our losses with the strikes on teams." Science fiction
and fantasy cards are also very popular.
Card dealers find that the serious collectors are adults who are
looking for specific cards and sets for which they will pay surpris-
ingly high prices.
The trend has diminished over the years due to the price of the
cards. It is too expensive for young people to collect cards as a hob-
by. The quality and special effects on the cards has made the cost
high. The limited number of complete sets also makes this an ex-
pensive pastime.
For card enthusiasts who missed the Exeter show, the Mitchell
Arena will be holding a show on February 4 and 5 from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m.
NeW emergency plan
Leing worked on
GRAND BEND - It's like having
a big security blanket. You don't al-
ways need it, but it's nice to know
it's there.
The Tri -Municipal group, com-
prised of the municipalities of Ste-
phen and Bosanquet Townships
and Grand Bend recently met and
reviewed its Emergency Measurers
Disaster Plan.
In particular, it was noted that the
Grand Bend and Arca Rotary Club
was willing to assist with such a
plan.
At a recent Grand Bend council
meeting, some general questions
were raised about the plan which
would be a benefit to the entire
arca.
"It encompasses not only Grand
Bend but the whole area," said
mayor Cam Ivey who is also the
chairman of the Tri -Municipal
group.
The administrators of the three
municipalities will be working to-
gether to develop a draft emer-
gency measures plan for a co-
ordinated disaster response in the
Tri -Municipal area.
"I don't want you to be led there
isn't an emergency plan now, there
is," said Ivey.
Grand Bend administrator Paul
Turnbull pointed out that as part of
the process, the existing plan will
be updated. Three years ago• the
Rotary Club was a big part of the
plan.
No snow clearance for
Zurich sidewalks
Village council agrees,
despite complaints,
that they can't afford
the extra cost of snow
clearance
ZURICH - Despite receiving
complaints once again this winter,
Zurich council is not prepared to
lake on the task of clearing side-
walks in residential areas.
Council considered a complaint
at Thursday's meeting from a res-
ident who was angered that the mu-
nicipality cleared sidewalks in the
downtown arca, but not elsewhere.
"That's all we do right now, the
commercial area," said councillor
Brad Clausius.
"You do one (residential] street,
you're going to open up a whole
can of worms," agreed reeve
Dwayne Laporte.
Clausius explained that with the
manpower and equipment presently
available to Zurich, there is no way
the village can plow all Zurich side-
walks.
