It produces fluids to aid in digestion. It converts our food into energy and releases the energy as we need it. It filters alcohol and other toxins from our blood and changes them into substances our bodies can discard. Our liver also absorbs and adapts the medicines we take helping our body use the medicine and discard the residue. We must learn to take care of this powerhouse in our bodies. We can't live without it. Here are some ideas on how to take care of our livers: Take only medications that have been prescribed by your doctor and obtain good professional advice on other non -prescribed products. Also limit the amount of alcohol you drink and don't mix alcohol and medications together. If you are using aerosol sprays, especially of a pesticide nature, use a mask and don't breathe in the fumes. The liver will have to detoxify those chemicals as well. To keep your liver healthy, keep your weight under control by cutting down on deep-fried and fatty foods that could cause gall stones, a related liver problem. Also, and you hear this so often, start on a regular exercise routine of a least three times per week for at least 30 minutes. The exercise should be appropriate to your current health situation so get some advice about that. We only have one liver. We have to take good care of it. An awareness of a healthy liver lifestyle will help us live a long and happy life.

Dated at the Municipality of South Huron This 28th day of August, 2008. Sandra Strang, Clerk, Municipality of South Huron, 322 Main St., P.O. Box 759, Exeter, Ontario, NOM 1 S6 (519) 235-0310 ext. 234 PURPOSE AND EFFECT There is increasing popularity in storage containers being used by individuals and businesses within the Municipality of South Huron. Concerns have arisen relating to the appropri- ateness of such containers and how existing by-laws control the placement and setbacks for the containers. The Ontario Building Code Commission recently made a ruling that an individual or business is required to get a building permit prior to installing a storage container on their property. A review of existing municipal zoning by-laws indicate there are currently limited mechanisms for controlling the placement of storage containers. Therefore, the Municipality of South Huron has initiated this zoning by-law amendment to implement zone provisions that will regulate the zones in which storage containers are permitted and will regulate how they are placed on a property. This zoning by-law amendment proposes to permit storage containers to be permitted as accessory structures in the fol- lowing zones in the Municipality of South Huron: Stephen & Osborne Wards Agriculture (AG1, AG2, AG3, AG4), Industrial (VM1, VM2), Salvage Yard (C4), Communications & Utility (U) Exeter Ward Highway Commercial (C5), Grouped Commercial (C5.1), Industrial (M1 M2) It is proposed that storage containers will not permitted to be installed as an accessory use in any other zone. This zoning By-law amendment amends By-law 12-1984, Stephen Township Zoning By-law; By-law 13-1984, Usborne Township Zoning By-law; and Town of Exeter Zoning By-law 30-1978; all being By-laws of the Corporation of the Municipality of South Huron.
