Celebrating more than 35 years of summer service, the SCCY is looking forward to another successful sum- mer of helping students find work and employers find enthusiastic student employees. Our services are pro- vided free to both students and employers. The SCCY invites employers and homeowners to place a job order this season. Whether you need a full-time employee or someone for a few hours to do odd jobs around your home or business, we have enthusiastic students ready and willing to work. Students are afford- able, hard working and skilled. Why not put them to work for you this summer? SUMMER Students, check out our job binder for full-time and EMPLOYMENT part-time job opportunities. Students can also sign up OFFICER for the Odd Job Squad if they are looking for casual, temporary work. The Odd Job Squad is an excellent opportunity for stu- dents to build their resumes and earn extra cash. The Squad is ideal for those who are still in school or who are holding another full-time or part-time job. The SCCY bridges the gap between students looking for work and employers looking for summer workers. The Summer Employment Officers (SEOs) who work at the SCCY are students themselves and offer workshops on effective job search techniques. Whether you are writing your first resume or are preparing for an interview for a summer job in your field, SEOs are here to help. The SCCY also has an excellent resource library. We have information on effective job search techniques, labour legislation, labour market information, information on health and safety in the workplace and information on other Government of Canada programs and services. The Exeter SCCY is located at 349 Main St. S., Exeter. Our office is open Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. to assist employers and students.

You can't cure it but it certainly can be controlled. Usually diabetes is diagnosed when a fasting blood sugar is over seven. With a combination of good attention to diet, exercise and blood sugar monitoring, diabetics can live long and happy lives. It was back in 1850 that doctors first began to take the patient's temperature as a regular part of making a diagnosis. Back then it took about 20 minutes to get an accurate temperature. In 1866, the first clinical thermometer was developed in England. This sped up the process immensely. Statin drugs are very popular in the treatment of high cholesterol. In the United Kingdom, on of the statins became available without a prescription in the middle of 2004. It's debatable whether which was a good decision or not. Being available OTC means it isn't covered under many drug plans. Not good for many people. Before you leave the pharmacy, read the label of your prescription medication and check the contents. Brand of medications are always changing. We'II let you know when this happens. We enjoy our interactions with our customers. Helping you understand the medications you take is an important part of our job. If you are looking for a pharmacy to feel good about, give us a try. Huron Apothecary Ltd.
