(photos/Stephanie Mandziuk) Police briefs SOUTH HURON — A 41 - year -old man from South Huron has been arrested and charged with assault following an incident March 25. Police were called to a residence on Morrison Line in South Huron to learn two people had con- sumed alcohol earlier in the day. The two later argued over what police say was a discussion about a new boyfriend. The situation escalated to a physical altercation and a 42 -year- old female suffered facial and upper body injuries. HENSALL — Someone entered the concession booth at Hensall Arena on Oxford Street and stole $320.00 from the cash box. According to police, the theft occurred between March 13-18.

It's a good idea to look for any abnormalities. Use the "ABCD" system: Asymmetry: not the same on both sides; Border is irregular; Colour is unusual (brown, tan, red, white, black, blue); Diameter is larger than a pencil eraser. Get it checked by your doctor if you meet any of these criteria. Some people say "I'm allergic to penicillin" but it's not a true allergy. There may have been a side effect like diarrhea or nausea. Knowing whether it was a true allergy or not can save money too because penicillins are often less expensive than other antibiotics. Here's something to be aware of when taking medications. Those drugs that could dry the mouth can also dry the eyes. Dry eyes can be uncomfortable but are easily treated with regular use of a lubricating eye drop. Tinnitus is a sensation of hearing abnormal sounds like ringing, clicking, buzzing or hissing and can be very annoying and frustrating. Tinnitus sufferers should avoid smoking and caffeine. Some people get some relief using noise -making machines to mask the sound and the herb ginkgo has been used but doesn't help everyone. If you are trying gingko, use caution if you are on "blood thinners". Huron Apothecary Ltd.

The Huron Soil and Crop Improvement Association hosted a production day in Blyth March 22 to plant information in the rural community. A number of topics were presented including a provincial office update from Deanna Deaville. According to Deaville there are three big projects on the table right now. The first is cost sharing for Huron County on farm research and production trials. Grants are available with dead- lines approaching in mid April. Deaville says the greenhouse gas pro- ject is another focus. It's being looked at to demonstrate on farm nitrogen use efficiency when it comes to things like tillage equipment. The goal is to find ways to reduce N20, carbon dioxide and methane. The third project deals with two types of equipment testing. Nitrogen applicators, precision tools used to apply nitrogen, are being tested regularly. The applicators are now used in Saskatchewan on wheat and canola and in California on a variety of crops. Bio -diesel fuel is also being tested to see how it works in large farm equip- ment. Researchers are trying to deter- mine if it's more practical and economi- cal; and whether it's a cleaner fuel to use indoors for things like dairy and poultry operations.
