The search for a new 62 -acre landfill had been going on for several years. •Grand Bend United Church got a new stained glass window, made by nationally -renowned local artist Christopher Wallis. The 11 -pane window was donated by the Hendrick fami- ly. •In a recorded vote of 19-13, county council agreed to go to a one -member -per municipal- ity representation this fall. The members, however, would be given a weighted vote ac- cording to population. Exeter, with a popula- tion over 4,000 would get four votes from its reeve; while Zurich, with under 2,000 people would get one vote. May 11 •Once again, doctors were threatening to close the South Huron Hospital emergency room unless a deal could be made with the hospital May to subside their wages in slow hours. The hospital administration, however, com- plained they could not afford the $250,000 such a deal would cost. •The Ministry of Community and Social Ser- vices was investigating unlicensed baby- sitters in the Exeter area. Those providing day care for more than five children were facing fines of up to $2,000, even though parents argued such care was badly needed in town. - •A smash and grab robbery at Anstett's jew- ellery store netted thieves some $16,000 in goods, including some South Huron District High School rings. May 18 •South Huron District High School's wind en- semble came home with a gold medal at the Musicfest in Toronto. The jazz band and choir also won bronze medals at the five-day festival. •MP Paul Steckle spoke out in favour of cor- poral punishment before Parliament. He said the present system does little more than "tap the wrists" of repeat offenders. •South Hurqn Hospital doctors were preparing an offer to the hospital to keep the emer- gency room open. The hospital wanted to keep that annual cost to $100,000 a year. Doctors wanted their salaries topped up to $60 an hour while on call to emergency. •A county -wide search with helicopters turned up no clues in the disappearance of a 74 -year old Zurich man, Patrick Smith, missing since April 14. May 25 •Huron MPP Paul Klopp said he supported the first reading of his government's con- troversial same-sex benefits rights bill. He said he had received many calls to his office about the bill, many of which opposed the idea that same-sex couples could adopt chil- dren. •The start of the summer tourism season in Grand Bend went over well, with about 20,000 people descending on the village for what some were describing as one of the vil- lage's best weekend's ever. •Home-based babysitters were complaining about the ministry crackdown on unlicensed sitters, and were saying that with no al- ternatives available in the area, the children would be the ones to suffer. They also said the ministry was only interested in in- vestigating the number of children being sat in each home, not how well they were being looked after. Pamper yourself - at home spa recipes The holidays are here, and that means a whirlwind of parties, visi- tors, shopping and wrapping. The holiday season is lots of fun, but it produces lots of stress as well. The combination of stress and cold weather can take its toll on your skin and cause dryness, tightness, lines and heightened sensitivity, but it doesn't have to. Try some of these simple at- home spa treatments. They all rely on nature's most basic elements, they're inexpensive, and they're simple to do. If you can't get to the beach, this is the next best thing! Ingredients: Real seaweed, scooped fresh out of the ocean, or powdered kelp from the health food store. Directions: Place a handful of seaweed or kelp in a large bath bag and hang it just below hot running water so the water flows through the bag. When the tub is three- quarters full, turn off the water and let the bag "steep" for 15 minutes as the water cools to a comfortably warm temperature. Soak in the tub for no longer than 20 minutes. Tip: Take advantage of the sea- weed scent and its power to make you feel like you are at the ocean. Try playing tapes of ocean sounds and using visualization techniques for maximum relaxation. You'll be amazed at how rejuvenated you can feel after only a few minutes. Moisture bath As baths dissolve dirt, they can also affect the pH balance of the skin. As a result, skin can feel tight after bathing, especially skin that is naturally dry. One way to maintain a healthier skin pH is to take a vin- egar bath. This bath soothes, tones and softens the skin. Ingredients: One-half pint cider vinegar. Directions: Add the vinegar to warm bath water. Relax and soak for 20 minutes. Pat skin dry. Post -shopping relaxer Treat your feet! Ingredients: Baking soda and wa- ter Directions: Mix a handful of bak- ing soda in a basin of warm water, have a seat, soak your feet... and relax! Tip: By some estimates, the aver- age person walks more than 100,000 miles in a lifetime; yet our.'4 feet are probably one of the most neglected parts of our bodies. A foot treatment is faster and less complicated than a bath, and you READYIISETI. -SAV E AT OUR SALE OF 1994NG DAY How time flies when you're getting buys! (But don't wait or you'll be too late!)
