Monday at Exeter clinic
EXETER -- Be generous
by giving blood at the
Canadian Blood Services
clinic at South Huron
District High School Oct. 4
from 2-4 p.m. or 5:30-
8:30 p.m.
London Blood Services
Centre organizer -
recruiter Suzanne Barron
said this clinic's goal is to
collect 150 blood units.
She is confident the clinic
will make a strong dash
towards the goal since
high school students will
be participating.
Those planning to
attend the clinic need to
bring identification with a
signature or a photo like
a -driver's= -licence or
health card. Donors must
be age 17 or older (first
time donors must be
between 17 and 64),
weigh 110 lbs or more
and be in good general
health.
Those with recent body,
piercings must wait 12
months before giving
blood. Those who have
either visited the U.K. or
have lived there a total of
six months or more since
1980 are ineligible to
donate due to the 'Mad
Cow' disease scare.
Giving blood takes about
45 minutes including the
screening questions and
nth a donation.

Protest in Grand ()z)ve cancelled
GRAND BEND — A planned
protest that would have seen Grand
Cove residents picketing in front of
the subdivision on Hwy. 21 has
been cancelled.
Cove resident Don Overholt, who
has spoken publicly against what
he calls unfair rent rates in the land
lease subdivision, said he is instead
trying to persuade the government
to change policy in order to protect
seniors.
Overholt told the T -A last week he
consulted with residents from
Willmont Creek, in Newcastle, Ont.,
who staged a demonstration two
years ago. They told Overholt he
was better off trying to pressure
change from the government.
As the T -A previously reported,
Overholt is upset at what he calls
inconsistent and unfair rent rates in
the land -lease community.
Overholt said he will be focgssing
on getting the government to
ensure rent rates are stabilized,
more real estate agencies are
allowed into the Cove to provide
true market value for homes, and
that the Cove is defined as a "mod-
ular home" subdivision and not a
"mobile park", since the homes are
not on wheels but sit on cement.
Overholt has several other
improvements he would like to see
the government implement and
said he is beginning to hold meet-
ings with other residents to inform
them of his plans.
Despite his complaints about
Grand Cove's management,
Overholt says the subdivision is in a
good location for seniors because
it's within Walking distance of
Grand Bend.
He also adds he's getting more
support all the time from other
Grand Cove residents.

HURON COUNTY — If
you don't already do the
smart thing while driving,
you better learn by Oct. 2.
The Huron OPP will be
out in force on Oct. 2 as
part of the annual
Operation Impact cam-
Paign•
Started in '91,
Operation Impact is a 24-
hour national road safety
campaign sponsored by
the Traffic Committee of
the Canadian Association
of Chiefs of Police.
The aim of the cam-
paign is to make Ontario's
roads the safest in the
world by curbing high-
risk collision behaviour.
The two most important
themes the Huron OPP
will be underlining are
the proper use of a,seat-
belt (the most effective
way to save your life
behind the wheel) and
that the drinking driver is
the greatest threat to
public safety.
On Oct. 2, Huron County
police officers` will be out
to enforce the use of seat-
belts and find those dri-
vers whom continually
drink while driving.

What a wonderful feelingofpride to have
been
part of such an incredible event in our county.
The international Plowing Match is an
honourable undertaking in itself and to pull it
off with such class is a huge compliment to the
many hands of the volunteers involved.
We would like to express a special THANK
YOU to - everyone that supported us by
purchasing a HOME HARDWARE '"Bucket for a
Buck". To see all those bright yellow buckets
wandering around the match made us feel
great, knowing that Home Hardware has
donated all of the proceeds at a total of ,
$13,000:00 to the Canadian Asthma Society
