Card games finish off the day. by Ernie Miatello Here are the warning signs of a stroke: weakness or numbness on one side of the body; sudden or severe headache; loss of vision or visual disturbances especially in one eye; loss of balance; slurred speech or having difficulty communicating or finding the right words. Stroke effects can be minimized with quick medical help. It's good to know what to look for. Counterfeit drugs make up about 10 per cent of the world's drug supplies according to the World Health Organization. In Canada, pharmacists have very reliable sources of drugs that guarantee the drugs are exactly as labelled. This security will get even better in the near future when all drug containers will have a radio frequency ID tag that makes it easier to track the drug's movement from manufacturer to user. Many medicines used today originated in nature. The spice, turmeric, found commonly in curry powders, is being touted as a possible treatment for some diseases. The active ingredient is curcumin and it is hoped that it may have a positive effect against pancreatic cancer, Alzheimer's and colorectal cancer. Thinking about quitting smoking? Imagine this: after stopping for eight hours, carbon monoxide levels in the blood normalize. Your senses of smell and taste become more acute in one week and in three months you can breathe better.

Strang, Clerk Municipality of South Huron P.O. Box 759, Exeter, ON NOM 1 S6 519-235-0310 ext. 234 s.strang@southhuron.ca 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 appropriateness of such containers and how existing by-laws control the placement and setbacks for the containers. The Ontario Building Code Com- mission 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 contain- ers 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 following zones in the Municipality of South Huron: Stephen Ward & Usborne Ward 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 ac- cessory 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.
