Capsule Comments
with Ernie Miatello
When we think about drug abuse, we think about
drugs tike heroine and cocaine. However, many
people abuse those laxatives that stimulate the
bowel and eventually cannot have a bowel move-
ment without them. Best recipe for healthy bowels? Drink lots of water,
eat high -fibre foods and take a long walk daily.
Statistics show that the six months from October to March seem to be
the most popular months to conceive a child. Women are almost twice
as likely to get pregnant during those months. (Something to do with
our cold, Canadian winters?)
Medical dictionary: "Schizophrenia" is defined literally as "split -mind".
This doesn't mean the schizophrenic has two personalities. Rather it
refers to a withdrawal from reality and thinking in illogical, confused
patterns. About 1% of the population will suffer from schizophrenia by
the age of 45.
Good advice: Keep a list of your routinely -used medications with you at
all times. Include both prescription and non-prescription drugs. This in-
formation can be very helpful in an emergency situation.
As pharmacists, we keep up to date on what is happening in the
worlds of pharmacy and medicine. It helps us serve you better.

AUSABLE BAY FIELD - Since
1984, the Ausable Bayfield Con-
servation Authority bas been rec-
ognizing conservation efforts that
have taken place over a number of
years that have long-term benefits
for the natural environment and so-
ciety through the Conservation
Awards. The following are the re-
cipients of the 1995 Conservation
Awards. The ABCA greatly appre-
ciates their efforts in conservation.
Land stewardship category
Stephen Bright, Port Franks

the Township of Bosanquet, Ham-
let of Port Franks and a member of

na. Steve is currently working with
the Rural Lambton Stewardship

quet.
Dinney Funeral Home Inc.,
Exeter
Dinney Funeral Home was the
first Funeral Home to cooperate
with the Ausable Bayfield Conser-
vation Foundation in the Com-
memorative Woods program. In
addition to making $840 in dona-
tions to the Foundation, Dinney's
have organized two commemora-
tive services at the Morrison Dam
Commemorative site. The turn out
for these two services was excel-
lent and helps further the efforts of
the Foundation.
Funds raised help encourage
community projects throughout the
Ausable and Bayfield watersheds.
As well, funds are used for three
key program areas: outdoor educa-
tion, protection of natural areas
and conservation area develop-
ment.
Huron Fish and Game Club,
Clinton
The Huron Fish and Game Club
have contributed $1,000 to the
Conservation Dinner for the past
six years, as well as providing fi-
nancial assistance of $2,500 per
year to offset the maintenance costs
of the Bannockburn Wildlife Area.
Without support from,groups like
the Huron Fish and Game Club are-
as like Bannockburn would not be
well maintained or safe for the pub-
lic to use.
Lions Club of Clinton, Clinton
The Lions Club of Clinton have
agreed to maintain the Clinton
Conservation Area for the Ausable
Bayfield Conservation Authority,
and have successfully done so for
the past two years.
At/. Lions Club mem-
bers volunteer for
some maintenance
activities includ-
ing weekly risk
management re-
view. Other ac-
tivities such as
grass cutting are
paid for by the Lions
Club. This type of partnership
helps the ABCA financially, and
also develops community spirit. A
community spirit that reduces van-
dalism, increases respect for the
property.
The Clinton Conservation Area is
still available to all community
groups and individuals. The only
exclusive part is who does and
pays for the maintenance... the Li-
ons Club.

Drug -laced
tattoo
information
false
NORTH LAMBTON COUNTY
- According to North Lambton
OPP, information circulated re-
cently about drug -laced tattoos in
the forms of pyramids and stars, is
false.
Parents have called police re-
questing information about these
tattoos and have attempted to in-
form other community members.
A notice also appeared in local
coffee shop newsletters.
There is no known author to the
newsletters and it is not informa-
tion being disseminated by police.
in fact, reports the OPP, members
of the Drug Enforcement Branch
advise there is no credibility to the
information. When the same infor-
mation was circulating in the To-
ronto area about five years ago, it
was also determined false.
