THAMES ROAD NEWS
Student enjoys job -shadowing experience
On April 29, the
Grade 8 students of
Hensall Public School
participated in a job -
shadowing program.
They visited various
businesses in the South
Huron area. I had the
privilege to
shadow Deb
Lord and sev-
eral of the
employees
who work at
the Exeter
T i m e s -
Advocate.
This was a
great learn-
ing experi-
ence as I was
able to be
part of the
production
team. Deb Lord went
through the steps of
how our weekly news-
paper is produced.
Then I went with vari-
ous employees and saw
how their jobs make it
happen. I first went
with Barb Consitt and
learned that advertis-
ing is an important part
of the paper.
With the three
reporters, I realized
that meeting deadlines
is crucial. I helped
Mary Simmons with the
Regional Wrap-up. I
went with Scott Nixon
to take pictures. We
went back to the office
and he showed me how
to prepare the pictures
for the newspaper
columns. I also met Pat
Bolen who is another
reporter at the TA.
Sue Rollings, who is at
the front
desk, let
me assist
in writing
some
classifieds
a n d
thank -you
cards as
well as
helping
C u s -
tomers; it
was fun.
Ruth
Slaght and
Carol Windsor are on
the accounting staff.
Lana
Shapton
They do the advertise-
ment billing for several
local newspapers and it
looks incredibly compli-
cated.
At the end of the day
I was back with Deb
and she shared how she
is responsible for the
layout of the newspaper
and designing the
advertisements and the
many computer pro-
grams she uses.
Taking part in the
job -shadowing program
gave me a new appreci-
ation of the effort it
takes to put together
this newspaper and I
would like to thank
everyone for letting me
experience a day in the
life of the Times -
Advocate.
P.S. Thanks for the

MUNICIPALITY OF SOUTH HURON
CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
FOR LONG TERM WATER SUPPLY
NOTICE OF COMPLETION
The Municipality of South Huron has conducted a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study
to determine the best long term solution for its municipal water supply and treatment facilities. The study was
needed to identify the most effective strategy for bringing municipal water systems into compliance with new
provincial regulations and for ensuring an adequate municipal water supply for future development activities.
As a result of the study, South Huron Council has chosen a solution that involves supplying all municipal water
works in South Huron with piped water imported from the Lake Huron Primary Water Supply System (LHPWSS).
The additional supply capacity provided by the connection will permit the Municipality to retire its existing
groundwater well sources from the potable system.
The implementation of the preferred solution requires the installation of a large diameter transmission
watermain to connect the Exeter Water Works to the LHPWSS supply mains. A preferred route for the proposed
transmission main has been identified and is shown on the accompanying key plan. The route generally
extends east, from an existing LHPWSS connection facility on B Line Road, along the Huron Street road
allowance to Exeter. The project would also require the construction of a booster pumping station and a
ground -level reservoir at the point of connection to the Exeter water system. Following the completion of this
work, all municipal well supplies would be decommissioned or dedicated for non -potable uses.
The project is being planned under Schedule B of the Class EA. Schedule B projects are approved subject to
a screening process. The purpose of the screening process is to identify any potential environmental impacts
associated with the completion of the proposed works and to plan for appropriate mitigation of any impacts.
The screening process has been completed for the project. There were no negative impacts identified with the
project that could not be mitigated. A Screening Report has been prepared to document the study process.
The report is available for review at the Municipal Office, 322 Main Street South, Exeter, and the Exeter Branch
Library, 330 Main Street South (during normal hours of operation).
Subject to any comments received as a result of this Notice, and the receipt of necessary approvals, the
project will proceed to the design and construction phases. For further information on this project, please
contact the Project Engineer: B.M. Ross and Associates, 62 North Street, Goderich, Ontario, N7A 2T4. Telephone
(519) 524-2641. Fax (519) 524-4403. Attention: Steve Burns, P. Eng. (e-mail: sburns@bmross.net).
If environmental concerns arise regarding this project which cannot be resolved in discussion with the
Municipality, a person or party may request that the Minister of the Environment make an order that the project
comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act, which addresses individual environmental
assessments. Requests must be received by the Minister, at the address below, within 30 calendar days of this
Notice. A copy of the request must also be sent to the Project Engineer at the address above. If no such
request is received by May 28, 2004, the project will proceed to construction as planned.
