Eden Mills bridge woes continue with second span By FRANCES NIBLOCK The Rockwood Miller Bridge replacement talk has not ended in Eden Mills despite the recent opening of the new Bowstring Bridge across. the Eramosa River in the centre of the village. While the decade-long fight by some in the village to save the heritage Bow- string Bridge is over, the mill pond bridge on the other side of the river, known to Town- ship officials as Bridge 82, is in rough shape. "Well, you might as well Mohawk to host race series The Hambletonian Soci- ety announced this week that nearby Mohawk Raceway will be one of two tracks to host the Breeders Crown for the next five years. Harness racing's divisional champi- onship series, Mohawk will share it with Meadowlands in New Jersey. _ Mohawk, situated in nearby Campbellville will host the 2- and 3-year-old pacing and trotting races during the final weekend of October in 1999. It's worth $3.9 million. Both events will be back to Mohawk the following year. say replacement when you talk about these bridges be- cause most of the five need replacement and not rehab," said Eramosa Township Su- pervisor of Public Works Fred Pierce in an interview on Tuesday. "T can't say that Bridge 82 is in any worse shape than the other four on that list. We've installed a beam un- derneath the bridge to shore it up and put up a guard-rail to keep cars away from the sidewalk but those are tem- porary measures," Pierce said, adding there's a 14- tonne weight restriction on the bridge. Pierce said the multi-mil- lion dollar, long-range bridge replacement and rehabilita- tion plans is one of the items the new Guelph Eramosa Township council will have to deal with when it takes office in January. There are 20 bridges in the new Guelph Eramosa Township and one- quarter of them are on the immediate replacement list. "It'll take a number of ears before all this work will done. We don't get any money for roads and bridges from the province any more, so it will be taxpayer money that pays for these new bridges," Pierce said.

Herbs for pets The use of household herbs to keep pets healthy and well was the focus of a re- cent seminar at the Royal Botanical Gardens featur- ing local vet, Dr. Karen Kopinak. Dr. Kopinak, a self-employed Acton- Rockwood area veterinar- ian who deals mostly with horses, dogs and cats, said she began treating animals with herbs about 15 years ago. "It (using herbs) adds more tools to what you can use to treat animals," Kopinak said, adding she was wary of saying any more because of Ontario Veterinary Association ad- vertising constraints.
