ASH ERB Get involved in the Ausable River Recovery AUSABLE BAYFIELD —The Ausable River water- shed is home to many plants and animals. Some of these species are rare in Canada; 14 species of fishes, mussels and reptiles that live in the river have been nationally listed as endangered, threatened or special concern. Several of these species are globally rare and found at only a few locations in Canada. The Ausable River Recovery Team, formed in 2002, is holding the third in a series of public meetings for input in the development of a recovery strategy for the Ausable River. In 2003, public meetings were held to introduce the Recovery Team and present background information at Pinery Provincial Park in April 2003 and to gather public input for strategies to sustain healthy native aquatic communities within the Ausable River in Exeter in July 2003. The purpose of the public meeting scheduled for April 19 at 7 p.m. at the Ailsa Craig Recreation Centre is to introduce the recovery strategies that have been drafted by the Recovery Team and seek further input. "Public participation is key to the implementation of actions outlined in the recovery strategy," says Mari Veliz, Healthy Watersheds Specialist for the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority. The Ausable River Recovery Team has representa- tives from federal, provincial and local government agencies as well as academia and local experts. The goal of the recovery strategy is to sustain healthy native aquatic communities within the Ausable River, focusing on species at risk. To date, the Recovery Team has prepared four background reports (water quality, fluvial geomorphology, land use, species at risk) and has synthesized this information into one document. The team has conducted preliminary bio- logical surveys across the Ausable River, drafted a strategy that prioritizes actions related to research and monitoring, management, stewardship and edu- cation and provided incentive dollars to landowners to implement best management practices. Copies of the Ausable River Recovery Strategy draft will be made available. Contact Mari Veliz at the ABCA at 235-2610 for further information. Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello Some medications are available in sublingual funder the tongue) form. The rich supply of blood vessels in this area allows the medication to absorb quickly and work quickly. If you use this form of medication, be sure your mouth isn't too dry. Sip a little water first. This will ensure the tablet will dissolve and absorb well. Health information is available everywhere. Much of the information can be misleading. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If the source is someone selling a product, the facts could be biased to sell more products. Carefully check the facts, the pros and the cons and do research independent of the seller. Smoking bad effect #79: Tobacco smoke irritates the voice box causing localized swelling and thickening of the vocal cords. This thickening can lower the voice making it sound harsh and raspy. About 20% of patients don't get their prescriptions filled. There are many reasons for this: they don't feel sick, don't agree with the diagnosis, afraid of side effects, or they would rather try something "natural". Cost can also be a factor. If you have concerns that might put you in this group, talk to your doctor and pharmacist. Get the right answers. Huron Apothecary Ltd.
