Farm groups thank Huron
East for tax deferral `gesture'
Susan Hundertmark
Representatives of several farm groups
thanked Huron East for its plan to defer
property tax on farmland until fall at a
press conference in Seaforth last
Wednesday.
"I want to congratulate you that you
know the importance of agriculture and its
spin-off effects on rural Ontario. This is a
step in the right direction," said Bob
Hallam, president of the Huron County
Corn, Soybean and Wheat Producers: •
"We appreciate this very much and the
fact that you know the difficulties in
agriculture in Huron County, Ontario and
Canada. We hope the provincial and federal
governments become aware of this activity
in Huron East," said Huron County

`blown
away' by
community
generosity
Susan Hundertmark
What could have been the
worst Christmas ever after a fire'
gutted their RR 2 Seaforth home
became a super celebration for
the Roden family.
Donations from the community
of everything from clothing to
furniture and household goods to
toys and a visit from Santa
riding on a Seaforth firetruck
added up to a great Christmas,
says Anne Roden.
"It has been wild,
unbelieveable," she says of the
donations that poured in after
the house fire the family . -
including three adults and two
children - escaped with only the
clothes on their backs.
"It just blows you away. How do
you thank everyone - thank you
doesn't seem enough," adds her
husband Paul.
The Rodens had done a lot of
their Christmas shopping before
the fire destroyed their home and
all the contents inside.
For close to three weeks after
the fire, donations of all kinds
came in to the relief fund at
Desjardins Credit Union in
Seaforth.
"It was overwhelming.
Everytime we went into town, we
came home with a bag of
blankets, food, clothing and
presents. I never expected this
kind of response," says Paul.
Anne says her grandchildren
Cody, 7, and Cailey, 15 months,
were very excited and completely
surprised when a firetruck
arrived on Christmas Day
bearing two large'bags full of
toys.
