(photo/Scott Nixon) Update from South Huron mayor SOUTH HURON — At the last council meeting, a delegation came to council with questions regarding the Crediton/Centralia sewer project and the proposed water rate increases. Although they stated they repre- sented themselves and no others, they stated that people in their area were asking a lot of questions and implied that the people were asking this delegation the ques- tions. They stated that as they asked each of the questions, that they heard that particular question from a lot of people. The list of comments and ques- tions they presented, probably raised more questions in my mind, with regard as to why many of these questions were being asked and the process of how they were being asked. Some of the questions asked, have been asked, on more than one occasion in the council cham- ber by the same person over the last two years and each time the questions that have been asked, Ken Oke they have been answered. Some ques- tions are about another level of government that we cannot answer, because they wouldn't even give us the answer. Some ques- tions were about other municipal areas that I would like to know about too, but even if I heard the story, it would not be in my best interest to pass on something that I wouldn't be able to verify that is 100 per cent correct. Some questions were debating the wording of the answers of questions given at a previous time. Ratepayers are entitled to receive answers to any questions, queries, or concerns that they may have about their municipality. I request that you try to obtain the answers from someone who has the responsibility to give you a correct answer. Staff of the municipality or your local ward representative should be your first contact. If you are uncomfortable dealing with our municipal staff or your ward representative, please call me, the mayor, or the deputy mayor. If you are going to be upset with council or staff, I would like to know if it was caused by some- thing that we as a municipality had our hands tied and couldn't do anything about , was it some- thing we could have done a little differently, or was it caused by a miscommunication that should never have happened. The problem of miscommunica- tion is preventable and avoidable if information is received first hand and not by word of mouth through several people. Council, staff and ratepayers have to put their best efforts for- ward as community builders to make this municipality the great place that it should be.

Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, affects between 3% and 7% of school -aged children. It seems to affect more boys than girls. There are two types of fibre: insoluble and soluble. The insoluble type (found in bran cereals and prunes) is great for the bowels and keeps you "regular". The soluble type (in fruits and oats) helps keep blood sugar from rising too quickly and has a reducing effect on LDL, the so- called "bad cholesterol". If you are so sensitive to bee stings that they cause hives or other symptoms like shortness of breath, you are advised to carry an Epi -Pen with you. These special automatic injectors will give you a dose of epinephrine which will counteract the allergic effect of the bee venom.
