T -A photo Start on Hicks well, highway main Two projects start soon PUC manager Hugh Davis inform- ed the July meeting of the Commis- sion that the Gidley St. water main project is now complete. The cor- roding pipe under Main St. north of highway 83 has been replaced, and anodes have been installed to protect the southern section. Reeve Bill Mickle, acting for Mayor Bruce Shaw, wanted to know if pipe corrosion was much of a problem in Exeter, as this seemed to be the cause of a recently repaired break at the rec centre, Davis replied that soil samples have shown the problem is limited to highways and river cross- ings in town, and salts are the source of the trouble. Anodes have been -put on the pipe serving the rec centre. Two major projects that will begin soon are construction at the Hicks well. and replacing the four -inch cast iron -main installed under highway 4 in 1910. The asphalt has already been cut for the latter job. and work will begin right after Labour Day. The tr,nsformer changes at Exeter Produce and Big 0 have been com- pleted, giving both companies in- creased electrical capacity. Davis explained the bill for more than $1.000 for the annual maintenance and servicing of the two Injuries sustained in one of six traffic accidents Injuries were sustained in one of the six acccidents investigated this week by officers of the Exeter detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police.

Damages were listed at $2,000. During the week officers respond- ed to 33 general occurrences and laid 30 charges under the Highway Traf- fic Act, three Liquor Licence Act charges and seven under the Criminal Code. . In ` addition three persons were charged with impaired driving, one person was charged with driving while licence was suspended anc1'four driving suspensions of 12 hours were issued.

Parts were $19; but travel time is charged from when the service man leaves Toronto, which accounted for a fur- ther $185. and a day -and -a -half's pay at $570 per day added an additional $855 to the total. Davis said he has authorized the clean-out of two private wells on farms near the Hicks well. He ex- plained that bringing in the Hicks well had an adverse affect on the neighbouring wells, and the MOE sug- gested at the time that, the PUC ac- cept some responsibility. One of the wells has how filled in with gravel to the surface of the water, and Davis suspects this has been caused by the way the company hired at the time to auger down the wells filled in the casings. "•I have arranged to have the wells cleaned out to maintain our excellent relationship with the owners," Davis remarked. exxreviewing the -facelift given the rior,of the PUC office, Davis said that with the benefit of hindsight the acid wash should have been applied before the brickwork was pointed. The water prsesure when washing off the acid cleaner also washed out some mortar, which had to be replaced. Commissioners • were given background information relating to Vern Po -still's request for separate service to a barn fronting on a closed street. Postill's severance application for his property, which abuts Mill St. at the rear, was made in 1977. Crea-, tion of a landlocked parcel would not be allowed ip 1987, and Commis- sioners are concerned about setting a precedent. A,decision will be made at the next regular meeting,. scheduled for September 28. • piloto Sentences handed down for impaired driving, fraud charges In Provincial Court in Exeter Tues- day,,Judge R.E. Hunter levied fines and jail sentences on charges of im- paired driving, mischief and fraud. Michael Leroy Parsons 39 Edward Street, Exeter will be serving a 60 day jail sentence for driving on Highway a, north of Exeter on February 2 at 11:30 p.m. with a blood alcohol count over 80. After an ALERT test at the scene registered fail, the accused was taken to the Pinery OPP detachment where two readings of 210 were recorded. Parsons had been convicted on similar charges in 1979 and 1962. Since he had no convictions or problems since 1982, the Crown is treating this charge as only his second conviction. He has been employed at the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority for the past six years. The jail term is to be served inter- mittently from Fridays at 7 p.m. to Sundays at 6 p.m. In addition he will be prohibited from driving for three years. In the other drinking and driving charge Ivan E. Keenan of 176 Oxford street in Hensall was fined $500 and had his driving licence suspended for three months. Keenan admitted to being the driver of a vehicle which went through a four-way intersection at Anne and William streets on July 24 and was involved in an accident. Two readings indicated blood alcohol counts of 160 each. He had no previous record. Keenan was fined $53 on the charge of failing to stop at a stop sign. . Pleading guilty to a charge of mischief, Dennis Murray, 322 Pryde Boulevard, Exeter was given a jail sentence of 30 days and' 12 months probation. On July 18, Murray kicked in a Calcium craze A nutritionist at the l-niversity of Guelph is skeptical about the "calcium craze" among middle-aged women in North America. "The assumption . that massive does of calcium will avoid osteroporisis might well disguise the need for more research into the real reasons -behind this crippling disease." says Dr. Harold Draper of the University's department of nutritional sciences. The claim that a high intake of calcium following' menopause will prevent osteoporosis is based main- ly on the results of a single study, he says. and several more recent studies have failed to confirm this claim. Cur- rently. many Canadian women take a calcium supplement of 1,00010 2.01)0 mg a day. As estimated $20 million is spent annually on calcium supplements. - Inherited time massis a major fac- tor in the development of osteoporosis. says Draper. Ile believes it is more reasonable to find a way to identify those women most likely to develop osteoporosis follow- ing menopause. and to institute preventive measures for these in- dividuals, rather than to encourage massive calcium supplementation for all women. Women prone to the disease should -be encouraged to meet the recom- mended calcium intake of 810 mg per day from food sources. and to follow a program of regular exercise. .i SAD TASK — Teacher's assistant Wendy Case sorts through some books outside the burnt-out principal's office at Exeter Public School. • BACK TO.
