Chamber GM moves on GRAND BEND — After 10 years of service as general manager of the Grand Bend & Area Chamber of Commerce, Lindsey Ashworth Ducharme is moving on to new things. The board of directors accepted Lindsey's resignation with regret Nov. 9. "Lindsey will be greatly missed. She put her heart and soul into her work. Her efforts have helped make the chamber very strong and put it on an excellent footing to flourish into the future," said board mem- ber Paul Ciufo. Lindsey's efforts over the past 10 years have assisted the chamber to grow to over 200 members, recruit a group of highly dedicated volun- teers and achieve a solid financial position. In recent years the chamber also built a new office and tourism infor- mation centre to serve the commu- nity and visitors. "We wish Lindsey the best in all of her future endeavours," said Ciufo.

There are ready -to -use sprays you can buy but if you want to make your own saline solution, just add one-quarter teaspoonful (1.5m1) of salt in one cup (240m1) of water. The result is normal saline solution, which is comfortable to use. Make a new batch every 3 days. Some cold medications can raise blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure and want to treat cold symptoms, check with your pharmacist for advice. Blood transfusions are safer today than at any other time in history. The first recorded human blood transfusion was in 1795 in the U.S. For blood transfusions to work, there has to be a good supply of blood. If you've never given blood, perhaps it's time to start. Contact the Canadian Blood Services office nearest you. Getting cold sore? You know that faint tingling signifying a few days of discomfort. Try this. Wrap an ice cube in a cloth and apply to the affected area for 15 seconds, stop for 15 seconds then repeat cycle for about 10 minutes. No one knows why but it sometimes works to stop the cold sore in its tracks. Huron Apothecary Ltd.
