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." THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1993. PAGE 7. 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.
