Wheels Away faced a loss
but directors are happy with' ARM REPORT
FC
Bruce County OMAF
the outcome of first year '""'�'�" -
No -Till Information Day
by Cameron J. Wood •
, Despite finishing their first full
year of operation in a deficit
position, the board of directors at
Wheels Away couldn't be happier
with 1992.
Fourteen municipalities in the,
northern Huron/south Bruce region
participate in the transportation
program. The majority of these
municipalities have entered a deficit
sharing agreement to help ease the
costs, but with some holding out,
board chairman Gloria Workman
said they have some difficult
decisions to make in 1993.
"Discontinuation of subsidized
service will be a consideration for
municipalities who absolutely refuse
to participate. In order for Wheels
Away to budget and forecast for the
future, it is absolutely necessary for
municipalities to show their support
by signing an agreement with the
North Huron Special Transit Cor-
poration, to ensure continued
uninterrupted service," she said.
Ms. Workman urged users from
the municipalities that refuse to sign-
the
ignthe agreement to make their views
known to their local politicians.
The service has 244 clients
registered, a 33 per cent increase
from 1991. John Mann, project co-
ordinator, said the increase is par-
tially related to the addition of
serving private individuals -- those
who reside in their own homes.
He said the total trips taken in
1992, 1548, averages out to 30 trips,
per week. Drivers last year covered
30,196 kilometres. Three supporting
townships made no use of the ser-
vice and three others came in at
less than 13 total trips.
Guests speaker for the evening
was Wingham and District Hospital
(WDH) CEO Lloyd Koch. Mr.
Koch was just recently hired and
took the ,opportunity to discuss his
background and how -,the health care
system in Africa -where he spent
part, of his career -deals with
transportation.
Un Wednesday, Mar. 31, a very.
informative meeting on no -till will
be held in the Teeswater area. This
meeting is sponsored by the Bruce
County Soil & Crop Improvement
Association and Monsanto Ltd.
' The morning session will start at
9:30 a.m. at the Teeswater` Agri -
Curl Lounge. Guest speakers will
include Wilf Riddell from .Mid-
dlesex County (a longtime no -till
farmer), Keith Reid from OMAF,
and Larry Bartram from Monsanto
Ltd. (weed control in no -till).
After lunch the meeting will
move to Jim Gowland's shed (Lot
26, Conc. 11, Culross) to view and
hear different points of view of
Bruce farmers regarding their e-
quipment and their general no -till
farming practices.

50 registrants will be accepted. Cost
is $5.00 per person. Contact the
OMAF office at 881-3301 or 1-800-
