Where has the summer gone? It
seems like only yesterday we were
planning our summer programs
and now we are preparing for the
fall colour tour and the craft and
bake sale in November.
Last week we had Lee Bray
demonstrate lawn chair macrame to
us. We thank Lee for the demon-
stration and will probably be in fur-
ther contact with her as we venture
to complete our projects.
Wednesday we had the day camp
children visit with us for the after-
noon. After a Aew gamesaaad songs,
we visited with our newafriends,
over refreshments. We always enjoy
young faces coming to visit us at
the centre.
Early Thursday morning we set
out for a busy day in Kitchener.
After a trip back in history at
William Lyon McKenzie King's
house, we went to Elmira for lunch
at the Stone Crock. With full stom-
achs, we ventured to the Waterloo
Farmer's Market where we pur-
chased fresh produce and goods
from the vendors. All in all, a very
enjoyable day!
This week we will be making
rag wreaths" for our upcoming
craft sale.
On Thursday, we will be viewing
our 'last Blyth play of the season,
CSA launches
a mobile lab
:., Canadian Standards Association
(CSA) has launched a mobile test
!facility aimed at helping small busi-
ness with the certification process
of manufactured goods.
i Zoltan D. Simo, chairman of the
;CSA beard, says the launching of
the lab indicates the association's
tcommitment to help manufacturers
ito reach higher levels of perfor-
:mance and quality.
Initially, the program consists of
van specially equipped with test-
ing apparatus and a mini -office
!containing cellular telephone, fax
i machine and lap -top computer for
icommunication with the central
;region office, and other office
equipment. The storage area of the
!mobile unit is climate controlled to
!protect instrumentation.
The lab can be used in large
urban centres, but will be particu-
1
larly useful in remote areas such as
tnorthern Ontario.
It will be capable of evaluating a
broad range of products, including
laboratory (..rminrnent, data pro-
cessing equipment, home entertain-
ment products, lighting products,
; power supplies, health care equip-
ment and environmental products.
i Designed to complement existing
CSA certification programs, the lab
will allow all certification activities,
' from evaluation and testing to certi-
fying and labelling, on the spot.
CSA, established in 1919, is
Canada's oldest and largest inte-
grated standards development, cer-
tification, testing and inspection
organization with regional offices
and laboratories across Canada,
and affiliation with other testing
and inspection agencies around the
. world.

Perils of Persephone". Next week
we are looking forward to the
entertainment afternoons that have
been planned by our summer stu-
dent, Charlene Conley.
Our August foot clinic is on Aug.
17. Anyone wishing an appoint-
ment please call the centre at 357-

"In the body -mind economy the
benefits of helping other people
flow back to the helper." There is a
link between helping others and
health. Doing good, or even think-
ing about altruistic action may give
the inprnne ,system a boost.
One kei,kenetiC of volunteering
is that it is a way of connecting with
people. Those of us with many
social contacts tend to live longer
than do more isolated individuals.
"Even pleasant, relaxing activi-
ties may be bad for your health if
they make you more isolated." Peo-
ple who spend a lot of time read-
ing, watching TV or listening to the
radio have a higher than average
mortality rate. This is a bit of phi-
losophy worth thinking about!
A majority of Huron residents are
concerned with the effect a waste -
management system could have on
public health and safety. This was a
leading finding of the recently -com-
pleted Stage One of the Huron
County Waste Management Master
Plan.
Project Coordinator Joanne
Richter reports that the negative
effects waste -management systems
can have on ground or surface
water and air quality are a major
concern.
The questionnaire was distribut-
ed to 1,189 county residents to
establish alternate methods of deal-
ing with waste in Huron and find-
ing potential sites for waste -man-
agement facilities.
The survey categories of social
environment, natural environment
and resource use were given equal
importance. ,
Social environment deals with
the effects that a waste system
might have on quality of life. Con-
cerns .1.110.5-11rtre notse, dust
rodents, litter and increased traffic,
all commonly associated with
waste disposal facilities.
Property values, existing or
future land use, landscape view
and the desirability of land for
recreation, tourism and community
uses also may be affected.
The impact on natural environ-
ment could include land or water,
areas which have biological signifi-
cance or are of natural or scientific
interest. The impact on rare species
also should be taken into considera-
tion.
The category of resource use
deals with the effect on agricultural,
mineral, forest, fish and wildlife
resources.
Just slightly lower in importance
were problems that might arise
should the system fail to operate
efficiently or if it does not provide
adequate facilities to deal with
waste over a 20 -year planning peri-
od.
An economic impact may be felt
by the potential change in property
value or in the value of the econom-
ic activity and commercial income
of the community
Finally, a change in heritage
resources and archaeological sites
must be considered. The repeataa
'states that a- Waste management -
system could have a significant
impact on these areas as well.
Respondents also were asked to
indicate how much more they
would be willing to pay in munici-
pal taxes to achieve the values they
indicated. The preliminary report
indicates that those figures vary
widely — 34 per cent selected $1 to
$50 per year, while 28 per cent said
an increase of $51 to $100 yearly
would be acceptable.

TOWN OF WINGHAM
RECREATION AND COMMUNITY
CENTERS COMMITTEE
The Town of Wingham is currently seeking inter-
ested ditliens to sit as a member of the Municipal
Recreation and pornmunity Centers Committee.
Interested peoPie should submit their names to the
Cleric's Office during normal office hours.
J. Byron Adorns,
OIek
The third- part of the question-
naire asked for personal comitowds
from the respondents. These com-
ments appear to indicate that peo-
ple are aware of the situation and
concerned with the issue of waste
management.
Many noted there 15 a need to
reduce the amount of waste going
to landfill sites, either through recy-
cling, waste management or com-
posting. They say they see it as a
necessary strategy and an immedi-
ate need.
The coordinator of the project,
Ms. Richter, reports that the infor-
mation gathered will help them
make recommendations which will
reflect community values.
During the Stage One study, pre-
sentations we!made to communi-
ty organizations to increase public
awareness. Public meetings were
held in January in Blyth and Hen -
sail to review the findings of the
report. These meetings both were
attended by approximately 80 inter-
ested c1tize..n5'.
In June of this year, the Stage One
report was accepted by Huron
County Council. It is available for
loan at all main library branches.
The next stage will involve an
evaluation of the study area and
will identify potential areas for
facility locations. It also will look
for markets for using recovering
materials and energy
A map will be used to pinpoint
the suitable and unsuitable areas.
The data then will be analyzed for
economic, financial, social, cultural,
technical and environmental fac-
ters.
In addition, alternate method. for;
dealing with waste,, such as Tecr
cling, shredding, ineineratiOn with-
out energy regovel4 reduction of
waste generation and transfer sta-
tions will be evaluatesd.
