The Summer Experience Wage Assistance Program initiative provides farmers a $3 per hour incentive to employ local youth for at least six weeks and in return allows young people to gain practical experience in the agriculture field. To be eligible for the program, an employer must have a farming operation that had a gross farm production value of at least $7,000 in 1993, create a new .position; and employ youth, for a minimum of six weeks. (30 ' to 40 hours per week) Young people who are between the ages of 15.and' 24-(15 and 29 if the person has a disability) can register at their local Agricultural Employment office. Application forms for interested farm employers. are available from the local Agricultural Employment Office or the Ministry of Agricul- ture, Food and Rural Affairs, 1-800- 265-3023. If interested, apply early, as the funding is limited Learn about safety of your well water at info night All Huron County rural residents who get their drinking water from a private well are invited to attend a Water Testing Information Night being sponsored. by the Health Unit and the Rural Health Co-ordinating Committee. A public, health inspector will, provide information about the dif- ferent types of water supplies, the tests which are available, how to test your supply, how to interpret the test resultsoaand how problems can be corrected. Free testing will be offered for bacteria, nitrates, fluoride, sodium and calcium. Par- ticipants will be asked to take their water samples the next day to designated drop off. sites. These samples will be picked up and delivered to the laboratory. Once the results have been received, they will be mailed to all participants with instructions onhow to interpret the results and how to take remedial action if necessary. All private well users are en- touraged to take part in this program. If anyone . is unable to attend one of the scheduled infor- mation nights they are encouraged to have a neighbor attend on their behalf or call the Huron County Health Unit. Safe drinking water truly is one of the more important necessities of life. Our water supplies in this country have become a precious commodity. If 'you live in rural• setting, chances are the source of your water supply is from' a well. When well water is contaminated, illness may occur, not only in your family, . but may also affect the health of your livestock. One of the requirements of developing an Environmental Farm Plan is to know what the status of the farmer's water quality is for wells which supply both the livestock and residents on the farm. The quantity and quality of your water supply is mostly dependent on whether the source is from a drilled (deep) well or dug (shallow) well. Both types of supplies require • regular sampling to ensure that it remains safe to drink. If it isn't, remedial action is necessary to make it safe. One of the areas identified as a concern in the 1992 Huron County Farm Health Survey was environ- mental hazards and water quality in particular. In ' early 1993 a Rural Health Task Force was .assembled as a focus group to develop an action , plan to address the issues identified. ' -Representatives from county rural and health agencies were invited to• form the Huron County Rural ' Health Co-ordinating Committee to ensure that 'the action plan was implemented. Activities suggested around the issue of water quality include: - Protecting private well supplies is just as important as protecting public supplies. Abuse of a private well may impact neighbors' wells or even the well in the community a few miles away. It is important that owners check the status of water quality on a regular basis. This information is also valuable to the, health unit since they are mandated to know what the quality of the, water sup- plies are in the county, By offering the water ' testing information night, the well owner benefits by having an opportunity to test their supply at no cost. Valuable information is . also provided to the Health . Unit from the results on the status of private water supplies in the county. The dates and locations of the • .information nights are: Hensall ' Arena ' Monday, May 30 - 7 - 9 p,m.; Brussels, Morris & Grey Community Centre Monday, June 6, 7 - 9 p.m.; Benmiller, Forester's Hall, Monday, June 13, 7 9 p.m. Reaction Times You come to the crest of a hill at 80 km/hr. Just 100 metres ahead of you is a farm tractor, doing 25 clicks. You'll have only 6.5 seconds to react and slow down. That's less than one-fifth of the time you would have if a car ahead of you was moving at 70 km/hr! Every driver should be aware of the pos- sibility of coming upon slow- moving farm vehicles, and Must stay alert to avoid a collision. (from the Farm Safety Association),
