We did have to cancel the day's program on Jan: 7, but other than that things are operating as usual. The health unit visited the centre for a foot clinic on Jan. 13. Lloyd 'Casey' Casemore of Wingham came to the centre today (Wednesday) to show a film , on glaucoma, a serious eye disease. Few people understand glaucoma and the film presented an opportunity to learn more *bout the disease. The Huron County _Health Unit, under Cathy Thomsoni: the county nutritionist, is starting a .program with CKNX. The series is called The Senior Chef, and will begin this Saturday at 11:30 a.m. It will be running on a weekly basis.
