WHY? In light of the Walkerton tragedy the provincial government has recently announced it will be providing $13 million to assist conservation author- ities and their partners to protect drinking water. THE COMING YEAR'S CHALLENGES AND HOW TO MEET THEM?: The challenge will be to get the job done. It makes good fiscal and environmental sense to protect sources of drinking water in our watersheds. This includes lakes, rivers, streams and groundwater sources. While many of us have access to drinking water from municipal sys- tems, treating this water is more expensive than pro- tecting it in the first place. Conservation authorities have a proven track record of managing water quality and quantity so it is no surprise we are the group chosen to develop the source protection plans with the assistance of the watershed commu- nity. ADDITIONAL COM- MENTS: The ABCA staff is an incredible group of people who are both dedi- cated and hard working. Their job is a way of life and a true commitment to the preservation of the watershed we live in. Take a minute to say thanks when you see these people or better yet, take a stroll along the MacNaughton- Morrison Trail and stop in at the office. Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello Happy New Year! The start of the new year often motivates us to start a new lifestyle. We want to exercise more, eat more sensibly, drink less alcohol and sleep more. All these are very valid goals but don't make changes all at once. Make them slowly and if you are embarking on a new exercise program, check with your doctor first so you don't aggravate an existing medical problem. Glaucoma patients need eye drops to keep pressure down within the eye. The doses are usually once or twice daily. Missing doses could cause the pressure to rise. So be compliant with your doctor's orders. Associate the eye drops with some other activity you do at the same time every day. It helps you remember. Some eye drops sting slightly when they are put in the eye. It isn't usually the drug that causes this but rather the preservatives used in the solution to keep it from becoming contaminated. The discomfort usually passes quickly. Another good New Year idea is to learn more about your medications. Make a list of them including any non-prescription or herbal medications and our pharmacists can give you some insight into their use and misuse. Your medications may be causing a problem and you don't know it. We'd be glad to help. Huron Apothecary Ltd.
