EXETER — The South Huron trail
will be open to even more local resi-
dents with the addition of the South
Huron Trail Mobile that will allow
residents with limited mobility to
experience the trail.
The Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Authority officially unveiled the vehi-
cle May 24 at MacNaughton park.
The electric cart was donated by
the Strang family in memory or
Gordon Strang, whom ABCA officials
said had a vision of the trail for the
betterment of the community.
Susanne Strang said she wanted to
do something in her late husband's
memory that reflected his love of
nature.
"I think this is a really great idea to
do something for those people who
can't easily walk the trail," she said.
"It was great."
The vehicle will be driven by vol-
unteers Herman Steffens and Jerry
Mathers who are looking for more
drivers to assist them.
Eligible individuals can book a
time for a ride on the trail by calling
the ABCA administration centre
office at 235-1610.

r Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
We always recommend we all carry a list of our
medications with us at all times. This list should
contain any herbal products as well. You never
know when this sort of information will be useful,
especially in emergency situations.
Some people are very allergic to stings and carry a pre -filled
syringe of epinephrine in case of an emergency. There's a new
product called Twinject, an automatic injector containing two doses
of epinephrine. Some people may need a second dose to prevent
anaphylactic shock and this syringe can supply it. Twinject is
available in both adult and child strengths plus a toll-free number
for advice.
Have you checked your feet lately? If they hurt while walking or
resting, lack feeling in some areas, are cold, pale, blue or swollen,
have sores that don't heal or the skin is thick, dry, scaly, calloused or
cracked, you could have circulation problems. See your doctor.
A recent survey done in Saskatchewan found that one in five
asthmatics do not have good control of their condition. If you are an
asthmatic and are using your fast -acting bronchodilator sprays too
often, you need to be checked.
