Briefly
Area native
farms ostriches
in Canadian west
A Seaforth-area native is busy
farming in Oakville,
Manitoba...but he's not growing
wheat or raising cattle. He's
raising ostriches.
Bruce Glanville, son of
Seaforth's Fred and Viola
Glanville, is starting an ostrich
breeding farm with five
ostriches.
The Manitoba trucker, and his
wife Grace, are planning a bam
and fenced running area. They
expect to breed chicks to be sold
to other ostrich farmers.
Ostrich meat is high in protein
and low in cholesterol, according
to the family, and ostrich leather
is also useable.
Bruce Glanville attended No. 9
school in McKillop and later
attended Seaforth and Mitchell
high schools. He has been in
Manitoba for about 22 years.
Local golfers
perform well in
tournament
David Hiltz, who golfs at
Seaforth Golf and Country Club,
shot a score of 81 in the 15-17
age class of the All -Ontario
Optimist District Championships
recently.
It was the third-highest score
in the class. Jason Henderson, of
Seaforth, scored an 88 in the
same class, placing him in the
top half of entries at the tourna-
ment.
Township tenders
for bridge work
Tuckersmith Township is ten-
dering for some reconstruction
of Plumb's Bridge at Lot 11,
Concession 3, London Road
Survey. The township wants
enough road work to enable the
travelling public to safely cross
during the 1994 construction
season. --
Huron 4-H leaders
raised money with
battery campaign
Used car batteries are helping
to fund 4-H programs in Huron
County and area.
The Huron County 4-H
Leader's Association, with the
help of 4-H members, has been
busy collecting old lead/acid
batteries from vehicles and
equipment as a fundraiser.
"We need to raise funds
because the county is cutting
back on grants," said Gerda
Vanden Hoven, chairperson of
the 4-1-1 battery recycling com-
mittee.
The battery recycling project,
called the 'Battery Blitz will
raise funds for such projects as
the 4-1-1 Awards Night.
Old lead/acid batteries are 98
per cent recyclable. As well as
raising money the 'Battery Blitz'
is a project which is "cleaning
up the environment, making the
world a safer place."
Used vehicle and equipment
batteries can be a hazard, said
Vanden Hoven.
"There are a lot of baueries
sitting around in farms ane,
sheds...those arc hazardous."
A program similar to the 'Bat-
tery Blitz' was successful in
Oxford County.
Old lead/acid batteries donated
to 4-11 were left at five drop-off
locations of these local busi-
nesses:
•Vincent Farm Equipment, near
Seaforth.
•McGavin Farm Equipment,
Walton.
•Townsend Tire, Londesboro.
• Becker Farm Equipment,
Exeter.
• Lucknow Co-op, Lucknow.
