Reflection for Palm Sunday.
Seeking support for their organiza-
tion, Graeme Craig and George
Townsend attended the April 3 ses-
sion of Huron East council.
Members of the the Huron
Plowmen's Association, Craig told
councillors that Huron East is one of
the few new municipalities from
which support had previously been
granted by all wards.
While Grey had donated $150 in
2000, the other wards had each
donated $100.
Townsend said the focus of the
organization was to involve youth in
agriculture, allowing them an oppor-
tunity to compete provincially in
various competitions as well as earn
scholarships.
There was considerable discus-
sion by Huron East councillors
when the topic of an intensive live-
stock operation interim control
bylaw was tabled.
The intention of the bylaw is to
limit the size of new intensive live-
stock. operations to not more than
300" units.
Tuckersmith already has. one in
place and the new bylaw was
intended for Grey and McKillbp
only.
However, councillors heard that
the bylaws tbr the two different
areas in the municipality were not
the same.
Some believed the animal units on
It's been a long two weeks but I
am back and I hope to get on track
again. I received a phone call from
my younger brother in B.C. March
25, telling me that our mother was
dying.
My other brother is a travel agent
and he had tickets waiting for me at
the London Airport the next morn-
ing.
. Mom was diagnosed with lung
cancer five weeks ago and we were
certain that she had a long time to
"At least eight (young people)
from Huron county have earned
$2,500 scholarships," said
Townsend, "and these were not just
to agricultural colleges."
"The local plowing association is
the grassroots of the Ontario
Plowmen's Association," added
Craig. "There has to be one to host
an international plowing match."
He told of the tremendous eco-
nomic impact of the 1999 1PM in
Dashwood with local agencies and
clubs earning good profits from the
show and businesses benefitting
from the $10 million spent over a
four-year period. There is also the
possibility of another match in the
region in the near future.
the new bylaw should be the same
as Tuckersmith's 250 or
Tuckersmith's should be adjusted.
Clerk-Administrator Jack Mc-
Lachlan explained the higher num-
ber was in keeping with a recom-
mendation from the county and con--
sistent with current building sizes.
He said Tuckersmith's bylaw
could not be repealed and changed
as that could jeopardize its effec-
tiveness if challenged in court.
The new bylaw is to be in effect
only until the Tuckersmith expiry
date of Sept. 19. The matter will -be
reconsidered at that time when the
county has completed a study of the
issue.

seems. She stopped eating on March
25 and died on April 2.
It was hard watching her die a lit-
tle each day. However, I was thank-
ful that all of her family could be
there.
I have never thought of funerals as
being beautiful but hers was. Saying
goodbye is never an easy thing to do
and as much as I wanted her to stay,
I am glad that she no longer has to
suffer.
Consideration for supporting the
Huron " County Plowmen's
Association will discussed during
budget deliberations.
