the former Dashwood ambulance base on the south
side of Highway 83 and two sites to the west of it.

Martin, director of business development Gordon
Potts and Don McKinnon from Dillon Consulting.

streets.
It contains 39 lots for single detached residences

tial units

• Local residents hoping for rain got more than
they bargained for last Saturday when a heavy
downpour pounded the area for several hours,
resulting in flooded homes, streets and ditches.
The flood was the worst in the area since July
2000.
South Huron operations manager Dennis Hockey
described the weekend's shower as "a 25 -year storm
event" that saw five to six inches of rain hammer the
area in about three hours. Over the weekend, ruined
furniture, carpets and other household items could
be seen at roadsides in town.
JULY 27
• Last weekend's RONA MS Bike Tour raised a
record $500,000 for multiple sclerosis.
Nine hundred bicyclists took part in the 150 km
round trip from Port Blake to London. Cyclists left
the Port Blake Conservation Area Saturday morning
for London, spent the night at the University of
Western Ontario and returned to Port Blake Sunday
for a barbecue.
• The Grand Bend Area Community Health Centre
(GBACHC) and executive director Dan Steinwald
have had "a parting of the ways," health centre
director and treasurer George Shaw confirmed
Monday.
Shaw said the board made the decision last
Thursday after meeting with Steinwald.

Exeter man
EXETER — Huron OPP conducted
a ride program Dec.12 on Thames
Road West in Exeter. Officers
watched a 1977 Jeep Cherokee
approach them. It was determined
the driver had been drinking and a
lawful breath demand was request-
ed. The driver was transported to
the Exeter detachment and provided
two breath samples. The results
were more than the legal limit. A
62 -year-old male of Exeter will
attend Exeter Provincial Court on
Feb. 26 for the charge of operating a
motor vehicle with over 80 mgs of
alcohol in his system.
Man gets break
EXETER — On Dec. 18 residents
on King Street in Hensall called
police regarding a male passed out
on the street. Police arrived finding
a 26 -year-old male unconscious in a
snowmobile suit. The male was
awakened and found to be intoxicat-
ed. Officers followed the tracks of
the male and learned at some point
he had been driving a snowmobile
when the machine flipped over on
its side. The driver was arrested for
being intoxicated in a public place
and issued with a provincial offence
notice. No charges of impaired oper-
ation were issued. Police were not
able to determine when the party
had been driving.
ABCA brings in new year with anniversary

EXETER —
The Ausable
Bayfield
Conservation
Authority
(ABCA) has offi-
cially kicked off
its year-long
60th anniver-
sary celebration.
In 2006 the
ABCA is com-
memorating 60
years of local
conservation. It
has been 60
years since the
province intro-
duced the
Conservation
Authorities Act.
The year-long
celebration
includes 60 dif-
ferent projects
around the area.
Many of them
will involve vari-
ous municipali-
ties, organiza-
tions, communi-
ty groups and
more.
About 40 pro-
jects are already
in the works
with 20 projects
yet to be decid-
ed.
The ABCA is
hoping for help
from others in
the community
in collaborating
the remaining
projects.
Most projects
are not com-
pletely planned
at this point but
the ABCA will be
promoting the
planting of its
60th anniver-
sary "celebra-
tion tree" in the
different munic-
ipalities.
Communicatio
trees will soon
be available to
order through
the ABCA web-
site.
Over the year
other 60th
anniversary
events will be
announced.
One event for
certain is the
July 30 barbe-
cue.
Other details
will be
announced as
the new year
begins.
The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority kicked off its 60th anniversary celebration
recently. Front, from left are Tim Cumming, Ken Oke, Davin Heinbuck,Tom Prout, Bob

ns specialist for
the ABCA Tim
Cumming says
municipalities,
individuals,
schools and oth-
ers will be
encouraged to
plant trees.
He adds by
planting a tree it
not only helps
the environment
but can be rec-
ognized as a
symbol for
everyone's vol-
unteer work.
There are two
kinds of "cele-
bration trees"
being planted,
acting as
"watershed
guardians."
Both the red
and silver maple
cross and
autumn blaze
The ABCA has
also unveiled the
logo and slogan
for the 60th
anniversary cel-
ebration.
The slogan is
'Rich in tradi-
tion, focused on
the future.'
The logo is
designed by cre-
ative director of
The Word &
Image Studio
Darene Roma
Yavorsky but
incorporates
elements
designed by the
winner of the
ABCA's 60th
anniversary logo
design contest,

SECURITIES

We're Growing!
Gary Bean Securities is on the move! We are pleased to announce that
in the spring of 2006 we will be moving to a new state of the art office at
the south end of Exeter. When that time comes we are looking forward to
having you visit us at our new location but for now we would like to
introduce you to one of our newest account offerings.
The Gary Bean Securities Premium Advisory Account offers a special-
ized set of services provided by a team of experts including our President
Gary Bean, a Chartered Financial Analyst Adam Skillen and a Chartered
Accountant Suzanne Mathers. The Premium Advisory Account is a
non -discretionary fee based service. As a non -discretionary account, you
maintain full control over the investment decisions affecting your
account, however you have access to the expertise of our professional
team. You billing structure is dependent on the level of assets in your
account rather than the number of trades you conduct. This moves the
emphasis away from trading and toward asset growth and rate of return.
Focusing on rates of return we recommend that investors build a
portfolio that holds a cross section of asset classes. Our best results have
come from portfolios holding income trusts, mutual funds and common
shares. While some of our risk averse clients prefer GICs and some of our
more risk tolerant clients prefer stock speculation our bread -and butter
lays somewhere in between.
Every investor is a little different and we all have our own preferences.
At Gary Bean Securities you can be assured that we will take the time to
build you a portfolio that meets your unique needs and provides you with
the upside return potential and downside risk protection you require.
After all, shouldn't your advisor provide you with both?
