THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2012 New Year GO train? Invasion of "bad" bacteria! Advertorial THE NEW TANNER 3 Naturally Speaking with Louisa McCarley RHN, ROHP/RNCP COMMUTERS CAN'T WAIT: It will be the New Year before the GO Train makes four stops daily at the station being constructed on Town land beside the Hide House. ­ Jack Carpenter photo Metrolinx hopes construction of Acton's new GO Train station will be complete by the end of December, but, "At this time, we don't have a start date for GO Train service to Acton, as we're still finalizing schedules," said Metrolinx Media Relations and Issues Specialist Malon Edwards in a recent update. Crews continue working on the Acton stop which will include three cement pads with heated passenger shelters, a ticket kiosk and parking. In an earlier press release, GO said the Acton location would have platforms, a kiosk/ station building, parking for 110 cars, a bus bay and dropoff area. On a recent Saturday, Phille Bereira with Montana Electric, said he was working overtime be cause, "T.O. (Toronto) was worried about the weather and wanted the platforms done before winter." He said the electrical work would "not be functional" until the next year, but would not be more specific. Initially, GO/Metrolinx said it expected train service in Acton to begin by the end of 2011. Securing the initial GO Train service to Acton, and now its return, has not been easy, including what Mayor Rick Bonnette called "quite a war of words," between former Town Mayor Russ Miller and then Halton Tory MP Otto Jelinek. In 1987, Jelinek wanted the Town to pay $50,000 for a train station so Toronto residents could come to Acton for lunch, and leave mid-afternoon to return home. It was at that point that Bonnette suggested the Town buy track-side land from CNR in hopes that eventually Acton would get commuter service. Both Bonnette and then WORK PROGRESSES: Montana Electric employee Phille Bereira worked overtime recently to complete the electrical work at the under construction Acton GO Train station were service is expected in the New Year. ­ Frances Learment photo Olde Hide House owner Steve Dawkins lobbied the province for a GO train stop and were successful in 1990, when the David Peterson Liberals agreed to add the service. And, while the Liberals lost power to Bob Rae's NDP government, the inaugural Go Train rolled through Acton in October of that year. Just one year into the NDP's term, the government threatened to stop the service ­ citing poor ridership figures, which were hotly disputed by Halton Hills Councillor Rick Bonnette ­ and by 1993, it cancelled the service. Although the schedules for the two daily trains which will run to Union, and points between, have not been released, GO officials said the train times would suit commuters' morning and evening schedules. The new Acton station was approved as part of the Georgetownto-Kitchener Extension Environmental Assessment in 2009. One of delays to service was the talks between the Town and Hide House on its $5,000 a year lease with the Town for non-exclusive use of the parking lot beside the railway tracks for its customers. The public may also use the lot, 24 spaces are allotted for medical centre patients and both the Acton Truck Sale and a service club's charity Christmas trees sales may also use the lot. The first train station in Acton was built near the proposed station in 1908 by the Grand Trunk Railway. The line became part of the Canadian National Railway system, which discontinued regular passenger service to Acton in 1967. Instead of waiting for your body to be invaded by bacteria and dealing with unwanted consequences, you want to be pro-active. As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist I know many ways that can help you. One of those is looking after your gut health, which can be as simple as taking 1 small capsule a day. Acidophilus Plus Dairy Free Unlike other acidophilus on the market, Trophic's Acidophilus Plus Dairy Free contains 6 billion active cells and 6 different strains of culture in each capsule. It has been estimated that well over 400 species of bacteria inhabit our digestive tracts. Some of these bacteria are "friendly" and have unique roles and benefits in our bodies that extend much further than just healthy digestion. Conversely, some bacteria in our gut are less desirable, because they are typically pathogens (can cause disease) and can be harmful to our bodies. The friendly bacteria lower the PH levels in the large intestine and are natural antibiotic substances. As a result, these bacteria are capable of inhibiting the growth of undesirable bacteria and the colonization of pathogens and yeast. Antibiotics often upset the balance of flora in our intestines by killing both harmful and friendly bacterial types. This creates an environment where pathogens can move in and cause infection. In these cases it is important to recolonize our digestive tract with friendly, desirable bacteria before the harmful ones move in and dominate the site. Trophic's acidophilus enhances our bodies nutritional condition by helping to digest food and to manufacture essential vitamins. They also play specific therapeutic roles, such as lowering cholesterol and resisting infection. Trophic's Acidophilus Plus Dairy Free is ideal for those individuals choosing dairy free diets or for those with lactose intolerance.
