ABCA WRT seeking information
EXETER — The Ausable Bayfield
Conservation Authority (ABCA)
Water Response Team (WRT) is
seeking information about how the
recent dry period has affected
landowners.
The late summer and early fall of
2007 was the driest period parts of
the Ausable and Bayfield water-
sheds have experienced in a number
of years. In a number a cases,
streams dried up completely or were
reduced to pools of water.
To document the impact that this
dry period has had on the watershed
community, the WRT is seeking
information about whether people
with wells have witnessed reduc-
tions in the levels of their well water.
"If you have experienced problems
with a well that has gone dry, or
reduced water volume from your
well in the past two months, we
would like you to call or e-mail the
ABCA office," says ABCA water and
planning manager Alec Scott.
The information the ABCA would
like to collect is:
• Property location by 911 num-
ber;
• Location of well on property;
• Type of well and depth;
• Problem with well water quantity
(for example, it went dry, or volume
was reduced);
• The solution you found to the
problem — for example, reduced
use, or drilled new well and;
• Impact on you — e.g., inconve-
nience, other major problems
"The information provided to us
will be used to determine what
actions, if any, can be taken in the
future to reduce similar impacts
during periods of drought," says
Scott.
Information
can be provided
directly to the
ABCA front-
office staff by
phoning 235-
2610 or toll-free
1-888-2860-
2610, or e-
mailed to
info@abca. on. ca
If you have
questions about
this information
request, contact
Scott at the
ABCA.

CENTRALIA CORRESPONDENT
CENTRALIA — November.
It's a time of closure and
preparation, especially here
in Southwestern Ontario
where we have a distinctive
change in weather at this
time of year.
Grey November days are a
good time to reflect on the
past. Nov. 11 is quickly
approaching. There are
many places to pick up a
poppy and make your dona-
tion. There are also special
activities planned, including
the laying of the wreath and
the Remembrance Day ser-
vice. Please take time from
your busy schedule to thank
those who stood in previous
wars to protect us and our
families from harm and
those who are in the mili-
tary today.
On Sun., Nov. 4, Mr. Dave
Williams welcomed every-
one to Centralia United
Church where he led the
worship. His special time
with the children was enti-
tled "Comfort Blankets",
very appropriate for this
time of year. His meditation
with the adults was "A View
from the Tree House".
Scripture readings includ-
ed Psalm 119: 137-144,
Habakkuk 1: 1-4 and 2: 2-4,
and Luke 19: 1-10.
Marjorie Johns shared her
musical talents, providing
accompaniment for the
hymns - "There's a
Wideness in God's Mercy",
"God of the Sparrow",
"What a Friend We have in
Jesus", and "Amazing
Grace".
Warmest congratulations
to Bob and Alexia Tindall
who celebrated their 50th
wedding anniversary on the
weekend with many family
and friends!
There are many people
from Centralia and Zion
West congregations who are
facing special challenges.
Please keep them in your
thoughts and prayers. If you
would like Rev. Ray
Hagerman to visit someone,
please contact Ray Mills or
Ivan Hern.
The community extends
sympathy and prayers for
the family and friends of
Janette Barker who recently
passed away.
Even with the return to
standard time, the days are
quickly passing! It will soon
be time for the Turkey
Supper and Silent Auction
on Sun., Nov. 18 at the
South Huron Rec Centre. It
will be a wonderful evening
to feast and socialize. This
year, the Exeter Community
Band will share their special
music during dinner Don't
forget to get your tickets for
this event!
