Habitat for Humanity Huron
County (HFH HC) has announced
that its 2008 build will be located in
Goderich.
Habitat’s site selection committee
is charged with the responsibility of
finding a suitable location in the
town and is currently exploring a
number of locations. HFH HC has
already completed a house in
Clinton and Wingham, with Hensall
scheduled for 2007 and Goderich for
2008.
The Hensall build is scheduled to
begin later this month and is planned
to be completed by the fall.
In addition, the family selection
committee has begun the process of
locating and selecting a partner
family for the Goderich house. An
orientation night is scheduled for
Wednesday, May 30 at North Street
United Church in Goderich at 7:30
p.m. This presentation is intended
for anyone who has an interest in
any aspect of Habitat for Humanity
Huron County.
Presentations will be made about
the many different levels of
participation that are available in the
organization. Volunteers, potential
committee members, prospective
families and those who just wish to
find out a little bit more about
Habitat will find the evening to be
informative.
Registration forms and pledge
sheets for this year’s walkathon will
also be available at the orientation
night. This year’s Walk for Hope
event is scheduled for Saturday,
June 16 at 9 a.m. in Exeter at the
McNaughton-Morrison Trail.
Family selection chair Marybeth
Wilson states that the Goderich
orientation evening is an
opportunity for prospective families
to get more information about
qualification criteria for a Habitat
home.
Wilson and her committee
distributed brochures in the
Goderich area and have already
received some applications for
families who wish to purchase the
Goderich house.
Families who believe they may
qualify for a Habitat home should
plan to attend this meeting. Families
must have a positive employment
history, a steady income, and a
willingness to work on the
construction of the house and to
spread the word about Habitat.
Habitat houses are meant for those
who generally would not qualify for
a conventional mortgage and whose
household income falls in specific
ranges. Requests for application
forms can be sent to HFH HC
Family Selection, Box 1758,
Wingham, Ontario, N0G 2W0 or to
HFH HC, Box 68, Hensall, Ontario,
N0M 1X0. Additional information
and request forms can be found on
the website address below.
The Goderich orientation evening
will also provide an opportunity for
those who may wish to volunteer in
some capacity with Habitat for
Humanity Huron County.
There are many ways to be
involved other than actual
construction. Many people are
needed to complete the volunteer
committee structure. The group is
operated strictly by a volunteer
board of directors and a group of
various committees. More
information can be obtained by
tapping into the organization’s web
site at www.habitathuroncounty.ca

Early Years
Members of the Early Years program in Auburn had a very
special visitor last Monday. After their usual exercise time
in the gym, they were greeted by OPP Sgt. Arden Farrow
who was on hand to sing some songs with the children and
leader Yvonne Wilts and teach them a little about the job a
police officer does. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
At this time of year, Huron
County Health Unit reminds people
that along with the warmer weather
comes garage sale season.
This is not only a great time for
bargains, but also a time to exercise
caution both as a buyer and as a
seller.
Caution is required to protect the
safety of consumers who may use
second-hand products. In Canada,
the safety laws that apply to the sale
of new products also apply to the
sale of used items.
Under these laws, it is illegal to
sell, import or even give away
products that do not meet the
requirements of the Hazardous
Products Act (HPA).
To assist both vendors and buyers,
Health Canada has recently updated
its bulletin entitled Facts for Garage
Sale Vendors. This bulletin provides
safety information about garage sale
products.
The following is a partial list of
products that consumers should be
aware of: baby gates, baby walkers
(banned to sell in Canada since April
2004), car seats, children’s
jewellery, children’s sleepwear,
cribs, used hockey helmets and face
protectors, lawn darts (banned),
playpens, strollers and toys.
Other items that pose a safety
hazard are used bicycle and
rollerblading helmets, drawstrings
on children’s clothing, window
blinds, infant bath seats and bath
rings.
Here are some guidelines to
protect yourself and your children
from garage sale purchases.
• Try to find out where the product
was originally purchased. Do not
sell products that have been
recalled or that won’t meet safety
standards.
• Ensure all parts are present, in
good repair, and functioning
properly.
• Make sure assembly and/or use
instructions are provided.
• If you are unsure whether a
product is safe or whether it
complies with the legislation, don’t
sell it and don’t give it away.
Dispose of it instead.
If you have any questions, contact
Theresa Wammes-Glavin at the
Huron County Health Unit 519-482-
3416 or toll-free 1-877-837-6143.

Shop wisely at garage sales
With the arrival of spring, it's not
uncommon to see an increase in
vehicles hauling trailers, boats and
other recreational equipment on our
roads and highways.
The Huron OPP wants to make
sure that motorists who are hauling
even the lightest load behind their
vehicle, do so with safety in mind.
Before you head out on the road,
make sure that all your lights are
working, and this is equally
important for daytime driving as it is
at night.
Ideally, a tow vehicle should be as
heavy if not heavier than the load
being towed, and keep in mind that a
longer wheelbase on a tow vehicle
helps keep the tow vehicle from
being pushed around by your loaded
trailer.
Your hitch is an important factor in
safe hauling, therefore make
absolutely sure that your hitch is safe
and your safety chain properly
fastened. The last thing you want to
do is look out your rear view mirror
and see your load on the loose, or
worse yet, in the path of nearby
vehicles.
Trailer tires are often neglected, so
be sure they are in good shape and
properly inflated.
While you are out on the road,
think twice about passing with a load
in tow and if you need to do so,
remember to allow extra time and
pull-in room when passing slow
moving vehicles. Also allow plenty
of extra braking distance between
you and the vehicle in front of you.
The OPP reminds everyone who
plans on hauling loads behind their
vehicle, to remember these
important safety tips. Safe hauling
will go a long way in protecting you,
your passengers and nearby vehicles
from serious injury or death.
Check trailer before heading out
