'resilience' of Huron
County people
Karla King in provincial round
Praising the resilience of
Huron county residents Premier
David Peterson Thursday said his
provincial government can only
work wkh communities to try to
find solutions to the serious struc
tural problems caused by the agri
cultural crisis, not come up with the
solutions for people.
The Premier, in the county for
a whirl-wind tour, said there was an
enormous potential in smaller com
munities. But. he said, he had a
profound belief that “we can’t do it
from Queen’s Park.” He said the
government must work with the
entrepreneurial spirit in the com
munities to make things happen.
Mr. Peterson was speaking to
a full-house for a luncheon in the
Seaforth Community Centre spon
sored by the Seaforth Business Im
provement Association with only
about 10 days notice.
Earlier in the day he had
visited Champion Road Machinery
Company in Goderich where he
switched on the companies first
robotic welder. Just before the
luncheon he met briefly with
1300 people involved
in Huron Horticultural Societies
“National Garden Week” will
be the focal point for promotions
and activities designed to increase
the public’s interest in gardening
and to acquaint them with the
benefits. It will also be used to
encourage those who do not
presently garden to become active
in this worthwhile endeavour.
“National Garden Week’’ will
recognize the efforts of millions of
mayors and reeves from the county
municipalities. Topics under dis
cussion included widening of
Highway 8 in order to help attract
new industry and the cost of
policing by the county’s five towns.
The Premier was followed by
a swarm of reporters from daily
newspapers and television stations.
Following the luncheon they cor
nered Jack Riddell, M.P.P. for
Huron Middlesex and Minister of
Agriculture about his feelings the
timing of an election. Mr. Riddell
said he was in favour of calling a
June election. He said the last
session of the Legislature was “a
waste of time” because of opposi
tion interference. “I would rather
go now, then I have my summer,
when the house isn’t sitting, when I
can sit down with farmers and say
‘What do you want me to do,”’ he
said.
The premier, who later toured
a Seaforth area dairy farm then
took off by helicopter for the Bruce
Energy Centre remained non
committal about when he might go
to the polls.
