Completion of this project would provide the Exeter water system with an additional connection to the Lake Huron Primary Water Supply System (LHPWSS) supply mains (a LHPWSS connection to Exeter is currendy being constructed along Huron Street in conjunction with the Exeter-Hensall pipeline project). An additional LHPWSS connection would have several operational benefits for the municipal water system, including: • Increasing the water pressure available to system customers north of the Ausable River; • Improving the flow of water throughout the distribution system; • Enhancing the overall security of the water supply. At this time, the Municipality has identified a preferred route for the proposed transmission watermain. The route would extend approximately 1.9 km along the Dashwood Road/ Thames Road West road allowance from the Exeter-Hensall pipeline near Airport Line easterly to a point of connection at McConnell Street (refer to the accompanying key plan). The watermain would be constructed entirely within the existing road allowance. THE ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING PROCESS: The planning for this project is following the environmental screening process set out for Schedule B activities under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. The screening process has been completed. There were no negative impacts identified with the proposed road project that could not be mitigated. Subject to any comments received as a result of this Notice and the receipt of necessary approvals, the Municipality of South Huron intends to proceed with this project.

We were pleased to have had four of the six can- didates visit Queensway during the cam- paign. Residents have been enjoying their Monday afternoon Bingo's with the Hensall United Church women providing assistance and prizes through the month of October. Staff and residents collaborated for the Church Service Tuesday afternoon with a hymn sing and devotional on prayer and striving to be kind to one another, when our scheduled minister was unable to attend. Belva Fuss was volun- teer organist for the service. In the evening the Christian Reform choir sang for residents and visit- ed over refreshments following the program. Coffee and current events Thursday morning provided opportunity for residents to dis- cuss elections results and express their approval or dismay. Many have long memories of transgres- sions made by the various par- ties. Jim and Elaine Scott of Goderich kept the sunroom rock- ing Thursday evening as their singing and keyboard skills had residents singing along and danc- ing to the tunes. Residents appre- ciate having entertainment on the Unit from time to time as they can enjoy all or part of the pro- gram as they are able. Baking group met Friday after- noon to make spiced apple muffins which on completion tast- ed much better than they looked. After discussion it was decided that they were best consumed that day rather than frozen for sale at our craft and bake sale Nov. 17. Baking group occasion- ally has baking flops just like in your own kitchen. Apple cider, sausage roll hor's de oeu- vres and apple streusel cake were served at the Saturday afternoon Octoberfest party with Gladys and The Merrymakers. George Turner's beautiful solos were a definite highlight of the afternoon.

New research on blood pressure and walking shows that breaking that walk up into three or four ten minute walks per day is as good or better for your blood pressure. So if it is easier to take shorter walks, do it. It's good for you and your blood pressure. In the U.S. where "Direct to Consumer Advertising" IDTCAI is allowed, the sales of the advertised drugs has increased significantly. Canadian observers feel that by not having those ads in Canada, our health care system has saved about $10 billion per year. There's no doubt that these ads create a demand for the products. Marijuana use is on the increase and so is the potency of the product. The average amount of the active ingredient, THC, in today's samples of marijuana is 8.5 per cent which is double what it was in 1983. There were even some samples that had shopping 32.3 per cent THC content. Also, emergency rooms are seeing more marijuana -induced problems than ever before. People with incontinence problems shouldn't drink either too much or too little fluid each day. Too much can worsen the problem but too little can concentrate the urine too much causing bladder irritation which can trigger the incontinence. Try to drink enough fluid to give a pale -yellow colour to your urine. Huron Apothecary Ltd.
