MAN FACING CHARGES IN GEORGETOWN SHOOTING Local youth will benefit from mental health services at the Hal- ton Hills Youth Centres thanks to the fundraising efforts of local businesses. Over $10,000 raised at the third annual Movie Under the Stars event was recently donated to the centres and used to support an in- tensive youth worker position at both the Acton and Georgetown locations. In partnership with Reach Out Centre for Kids (ROCK), the in- tensive youth worker ensures that all young people frequenting the centres are provided access to mental health services. "We are incredibly grateful for the generous support of the Mov- ie Under the Stars event," said Mayor Rick Bonnette. "We recog- nize that mental health is as im- portant as staying physically fit and this community's collabora- tive spirit is a big part of the suc- cess of our Youth Network. I am pleased that the Town continues to grow and improve the opera- tion of our local youth centres in partnership with our local busi- ness leaders." Halton Hills Youth Centres are supervised, recreation-based, drop-in locations that offer scheduled activities supporting an array of active and passive rec- reation and social opportunities for youth aged 12 to 24. Trained staff work with the young local residents and provide referrals to services in Halton Hills and with- in Halton Region. The centres are located at 96 Guelph St., Georgetown (inside Gary Allan High School) and 47 Mill St. E., Acton.

President Q: A: What are setbacks and how do they affect my property? 16 Mountainview Rd. S. Suite 101 Halton Hills ON L7G 4K1 info@fiddesclipsham.com 905-877-2211 In last month's topic about Zoning I touched on setbacks and in this month's feature I would like to expand on this topic. Setbacks are defined as the distance between roads, property lines, structures, or significant features where building is prohibited. Setbacks are created by Municipal and Provincial governments through By-laws to protect public safety, privacy, and the environment. When building a structure on your property, such as a garage or even a shed, you should know how far it needs to be located from a setback line prior to construction. Costly mistakes are made by home owners who build within the setback limit. As a licensed Ontario Land Surveyor I'm available to discuss the setback regulations governing your property and help ensure any structure you plan on building meets these regulations. 22 Guelph Street Georgetown 905-873-8729 www.healthspan.ca Q: Is Acupuncture Effective in theTreatment of Pain? A: Acupuncture is well known for its ability to relieve painand to help manage chronic pain disorders. It has been shown to stimulate the production of endorphins (chemicals that block pain), neutralize trigger points, relax muscles, and block the transmission of pain signals to the brain. Chinese Medicine views pain as a result of a blockage of the normally smooth flow of Qi through the body's circulation pathways. Qi is the energy that nourishes every cell, tissue, organ, and system in the body. When its circulation is obstructed due to injury, stress, or disease, it accumulates on one side of the blockage and is deficient on the other side. According to TCM theory, Acupuncture relieves pain by moving the Qi. Acupuncture is an effective therapy for many different types of pain syndromes including neck & back pain, headaches, nerve pain, tendonitis, and sports injuries. It is an excellent way to provide pain relief and at the same time improve local circulation to the affected area, thereby encouraging the body to heal itself. Acupuncture helps resolve acute and chronic pain syndromes. BPHE, RAC, RTCMP By Cory Soal R.H.A.D. . . . Lend MeYour Ears We care about your hearing! Professional Arts Building 99 Sinclair Ave., Suite 210, Georgetown 905-873-6642 Serving the community of Halton Hills and surrounding areas since 1992 distractions while driving The Georgetown You have probably heard recently, that legislation has been passed that will target drivers using cell phones while operating a motor vehicle. We all know that distractions are a dangerous combination and common part of driving on today's congested roadways. Any way to lessen the number of distractions faced daily would greatly help one to focus on the task at hand, and get on with their day. At the Georgetown Hearing Clinic, we do not condone the use of cell phones while driving, but when absolutely necessary, a hands free device, such as a speaker phone, Onstar™ or a bluetooth connected earpiece can be very useful and help reduce distraction - not to mention allow the driver the use of both hands. At The Georgetown Hearing Clinic, we provide a wide variety of custom fit and non custom fit bluetooth hands free devices.
