Garden project blossoms
By Rob
The seeds sown by thBendye community
garden project now the
Goderidi area have bloom much
more than just an interesting and
economic way to produce fresh,
or anically grown vegetables. The
behind community supported
agriculture involve; social interaction, en-
viron ental awareneens and removing the
barriers which normally exist between
producers and consumers just as much
as it involves carrots, beans and
"There's a liberating concept behind
community supported agriculture," says
im
Dungaon's Pauli Sommer, a patron of
the local conununity garden project. "It's
a concept that takes the stress off the
people who produce our food. Supporters
of the garden are sharing in the risk as
well as the crop thereby assuring that the
fanner is not .exploited .., not a martyr ,
to the cause of supplying us with the
• necessity of food."
Community supported agriculture is a
grassroots movement to revitalize local
agriculture by combining social and
ecological responsibility. It is• a concept
that began in Europe and has rapidly
spread to Japan, the Philippines and. now
North America. The idea arrived in
Huron County last February when David
Parsons, a bio -dynamic gardener and or-
chardist, presented the concept of a com-
munity supported garden to a small
group in interested citizens.
"In this case," explains Sominer, "it
was David who sowed the seeds which
blossomed into the project we're now in-
volved in.''
Through a \ series of :meetings . the
group, which includes twenty local
families in addition to the gardener,
worked out the logistics of the project. A
plot of land that could support the garden
was located; each family,bought a share

Huron's community gardener, David Par-
sons, has Ids boots firmly planted in the
project. • He claims "there are more
benefits than just the, food produced",.
and expects the community garden to
blossom into an ongoing endeavor. .(Rob

BRUCE COUNTY STUDY
The Bruce County Restructuring Study

Council was 'told the first phase of for-
mal public meetings, including additional

The committee decided it cannot sup-
port Southampton's request to
amalgamate with local consent or the
town's request to retain an independent
consultant to review the structure and
operation of the county; said Milton
McIver, committee -chairman.
Southampton's request to have the se-
cond .phase of public meetingsextended
into the summer to allow for input from
seasonal ratepayers was agreed to by the
committee.
The results of the committee's first
review, complete with a thorough
analysis 'of selected restructuring alter-
natives, will be made available to elected
Officials and ratepayers prior to the se-
cond phase of meetings, Mclver said.

As recommended by the Homes • and
Social Services ' Committee, Bruce Coun
ty. Council • will purchase subsidized
spaces for children at Kids Den Day
Care Centre, Wiarton, and Hanover Co-op
Nursery School Inc. These spaces are for
clients of Bruce County Social Services '
who need assistance receiving day care
services.
The recommendation was presented to
council at its Tuesday, May 22 meeting.
By purchasing space at these two cen-
tres the county now has agreements with
"pretty well all private and municipal•
day care centres in -Bruce County," said
Brad Davis, chairman.
Dick Vemps, director of Bruce Coun-
ty Social Services, said the cost for the
two agreements would be in the
neighborhood of $20 per day.
The agreement with Hanover, which is
located in Grey County, is effective June
9, 1990. The agreement was ` made

ton agreement was effective April 9, 1990.;
