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.

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.
