As the days become shorter, how do we ensure our vitamin D supplies are maintained? You want to receive 400 units to 800 units per day the most reliable way is through multivitamin tablet. Many multivitamins contain 400 units per tablet and if you want more that 400 units, there are tablets containing only vitamin D available in 400 units and 1000 unit strengths. Do you know your blood pressure? Many Canadians are walking around with high blood pressure and dont know it. Take time to take your blood pressure Most Pharmacies had an in-store blood pressure machine to give you your blood pressure numbers. If you are concerned about the results, see your doctor. The jury is still out as to whether taking selenium supplements can help reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Some men are taking 200mcg per day as a supplement just in case. However, keep your consumption below 400mcg daily, Foods like fish, grains and nuts are good natural sources of selenium. Taking too much of a good thing can be a bad idea. Our pharmacists Mary and Maija are always able to advise of how much can be too much. We hope to see you in our pharmacy soon.

By Rebecca Ring On Friday, September 8, several dig- nitaries were on hand to celebrate the Grand Opening of the Wellington O.P.P headquarters in Rockwood. Construction began last winter and rolled along on schedule, hitting all target dates, according to construction manager, Kevin Mulhol- land. It also came in under budget, with a $5 million price tag, according to county treasurer Craig Dyer. The ceremony began with the dignitar- ies being piped in. Rockwood Centennial Public School choir then sang O Canada. Speakers included Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, Monte Kwinter; MP Michael Chong; MPP Liz Sandals; County Wellington Warden, Brad Whitcombe; OPP Deputy Commissioner John Carson; OPP Chief Superintendent Bill Dennis; OPP Detachment Commander Inspector Steve Walsh; and Reverend Pauline Head. All congratulated everyone involved on a job well done and were duly impressed with the new station. Wellington County was the first in the province to sign a countywide contract with the O.P.P for police services. Their station was located in Guelph for the past six years, which is not part of their area. Inspector Walsh said, The O.P.P is ecstatic to be here in the community we serve. We outgrew our digs in Guelph and we want to be part of this community. MPP Sandals said the new building is a huge improvement, not just cosmetically but functionally as well. There are separate areas for separate functions that you dont want thrown together. It will be easier and safer for officers to do their work. Some of the functional improvements are separate holding cells for young offend- ers, male and female offenders, separate witness areas, including a soft interview area for domestic cases, secure evidence systems, with separate areas for seized weapons and drugs. Warden Whitcombe said, The build- ing shows the commitment of the county to policing and ensuring good equipment and facilities for the O.P.P to do their job. Mayor Clint Martin said, This feels fan- tastic. We need to thank those who came before us, both on county and municipal council, for this beautiful building. Public tours were conducted the follow- ing Saturday and Sunday. BUDDING POET: The Eden Mills Writers Fes - tival held literary contests for all ages.
