The meeting, which packed the township office with residents living near the Stanley and Walnut area as well as others from the Lucan area, did not reach any decisions. Questions and concerns were raised by the public. President Steve Allen of development company Nelson Wolfe answered questions regarding stormwater management, among others. The condos are one -floor and 1,200 to 1,400 square foot units plus a garage. They are valued around $200,000.Twenty-nine condos would be built. Allen made an application to change the current Future Residential (FR) application to an R3 application. Lucan Biddulph planner Ted Halwa says if the application is changed he would like it to be a restricted application. Lucan Biddulph council recommended Allen have a pre -consulting meeting with Middlesex County. Further discussion will be brought to a future meeting.

If singing isn't your forte, try some soothing Mozart orchestra music as an alternative. If you have trouble swallowing tablets or capsules, take them with some carbonated water. It seems to move the medications down more easily than plain water. Also taking meds with yogurt can also be helpful especially for the elderly. There are some medications that cause sweating as a side effect. Although it's not life threatening, it can be quite aggravating. Included in this list are antidepressants and opiates (those narcotic - based medicines that are used for severe pain). Check with your doctor and pharmacist if you are concerned. There have been more confirmed cases of measles in England and Wales so far this year than in any year in the past decade. The largest outbreaks of the disease are in the areas where the use of the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine is lower. Mediations are like apples... they won't keep forever.

However, they often need to protect the contents from UV rays which means a special coating or additive is added to the bottle making it a #7 Other. Without the UV barrier, regular light would quickly turn the ketchup brown and while some companies have experimented with green and purple ketchup, brown is not a colour consumers want their ketchup to be. So while the bottle might say #1 PET or #5 PP, it is really a multi layered product that should be labeled as #7 Other. i As an environmentally friendly alternative purchase ketchup and other products in metal, glass or #2 HDPE plastic containers which are recyclable through your local bluebox program.
