Planning
Cathy Armour of Women Today is co-ordinating the third
annual Take Back the Night rally, to be held this
September. A planning meeting is set for tonight (July 21)
in Clinton.
By Bonnie Gropp
"Violence against women affects
all of us. It could happen to your
mother, sister, daughter, best
friend. It could happen to you."—
Women Today newsletter
In support of this belief, Women
Today and Survival Through
Friendship House are beginning
plans for the third annual "Take
Back the Night March" in Huron
County. This march against vio-
lence is a quest for safety for
women, says co-ordinator Cathy
Armour of Women Today. She is
replacing Blanche Savage a sexual
assault counsellor at Survival
Through Friendship House, who
co-ordinated the first two marches.
"We are protesting violence
against women, not just on the
streets, not just at night, but in all
aspects — in the home or sexual
harrassment at work."
Statistics released in the newslet-
ter state that in Canada three
women are killed every week by a
male spouse or boyfriend.
In the last decade 1,230 of the
2,517 women murdered were killed
by the men they lived with.
Studies show that one in five
men admit having used physical
force on a spouse and one out of
four men have engaged in some
sort of non-consensual sex.
Despite these findings, Ms Ar-
mour feels there is a certain apathy
on this issue in Huron because "we
feel safe here".
"But we must realize that our
daughters will one day be going off
to college. It's a bigger world out
there and awareness must start
here."
"Unfortunately, I don't know any
woman who hasn't suffered har-
rassment or abuse to some degree,"
she says.
People interested in helping with
this year's march, scheduled to take
place in September are invited to a
planning meeting at the Women
Today House, 56 Huron St., Clin-
ton on Wednesday (July 21) at 7.
The purpose is to establish commit-
tees. "Hopefully, we will have
enough support to hold the rally.
We need many volunteers to make
the event happen," says Ms Ar-
mour.
Anyone who can't help by serv-
ing on a planning committee could
help in other ways, she says. Safe-
ty monitors, or volunteers to dis-
tribute flyers, entertain at the
celebration, make posters and assist
with the displays are just some of
the areas where help is needed.
Last year "Take Back the Night"
was co-ordinated by Swan (Stop
Women Abuse Now). Despite dis-
mal weather between 70 to 100
people were on hand to march, an
increase over the previous year, Ms
Armour says. "We are hoping for
continued support."

Women Today hosts Take Back
the Night walk in Clinton
For the July meeting of
Londesboro WI and Clinton
Garden Club, members met on
Wednesday afternoon July 14 at the
OMAF office, then travelled to
Don Lobb's 250-acre farm.
Allison Lobb conducted a tour of
the beautiful grounds. It was
interesting to see the research
stations and learn of the testing
being done. Mr. Lobb took
everyone on a tractor wagon ride
for a scenic tour of his property.
There are 160 different trees and
shrubs there. Some varieties are
sycamore, sassafrass, hop willow,
magnolia, flowering dogwood,
tulip and hackberry. Rows of trees
for windbreaks were planted in
1984 and in 1988.
Crops have been planted with no
tilling. Members saw acres of oats,
corn and soybeans. Very little
sprayings are needed, Mr. Lobb
said.
McKillop Township heard
objections to its manure storage by-
law at its July 6 meeting.
Mr. Bruno Braecker and Mr.
John Braecker attended the meeting
to inform council that Bruno
Braecker plans to construct a liquid
manure concrete storage tank.
He said however, he could not
justify the cost of the required
cover. The tank, to be located at
Part Lot 26, Conc. 10, will be 12 ft.
deep, 50 ft. wide and have six ft.
above ground.
Council authorized Eugene
McAdam to consult with legal
counsel concerning the township's
by-law on liquid manure storage
tanks.
Council advised the complainants
that farmers had been complying
with the by-law since 1980 and
they should continue to do so.
Larry McNichol's silo fire of July
1 still has approximately 30 feet of
corn burning, council was advised
by Fire Chief Paul Joshing. The silo
is not salvageable and must be
blasted. Chief Joshing recommend-
ed the fire department attend
because of the burning corn.
He explained a shelter belt area.
Trees were planted as a shelter and
food for wildlife. A dry darn was
built to preserve a creek. Mrs.
Lobb took everyone on a walking
tour in a lovely wooded area, where
they saw a Japanese Garden and
many unusual rocks and flowers.
There was also a huge gravel pit
which will later be made into
ponds.
Lois Elliott thanked the Lobbs
for the interesting and educational
tour.
A bountiful pot luck supper
ended the afternoon.
People
Greeting at church on Sunday
July 18 was Ruth Vincent. Ushers
were Bert Lyon and Bob Trick.
The insurance company will not
pay standby costs for an unsalvage-
able silo so Chief Joshing requested
the costs of $370 to $740 be cov-
ered by council.
Council agreed to the request if a
practice session could be arranged
by Chief Joshing.
McKillop Council received a let-
ter stating their target savings under
the social contract talks should be
$11,708.
Council decided not to support
the specialized transportation for
seniors and disabled because there
were not enough residents requiring
the service in McKillop Township.
The hill at the corner of Lots 20
and 21, Conc. 3 will be cut down at
a cost of $790. Bell cables must be
moved before the work is done.
Tenders were accepted for two
calls: a 55,000 GVW tandem cab
and chassis will be purchased from
Bluewater Truck Centre 1991 Inc.
for a price of $84,530.75, and the
road reconstruction contract for
Conc. 4/5, Lots 20 to 25 and Side
Road 20 between Conc. 3 and 4.
has been awarded to Donegan's
Haulage Ltd. at a cost of $63,
796,25.
