Huron County at
Work photo show
coming to Seaforth
Jeff Heuchert
Seaforth area photographer Flo,
Dyck could not be happier with the
public's reception to her latest
pieces of work, which were on dis-
play at the Goderich Co-
op Gallery last month.
One of her two sub-
mitted photos won the
People's Choice Award
for best photograph,
as voted by the 50-100
people who visited the
photo showon its
opening day.
The show, entitled
Business as Usual:
Huron County at
Work, includes 16 pic-
tures, taken by eight
different photogra-
phers.
Theshow is being financed
through the Huron District Labour
Council.
The purpose of the show is to dis-
play all of the interesting work that
people do in Huron County, says one
of the show's curators Carol
McDonnell.
"People should be proud of the
work they do, and the county we
live in," she says.
Dyck says she wanted to partici-
pate to show another side to Huron
County agriculture.
She says she feels that many peo-
ple living in the county are accus-
tomed to seeing the scenery and
landscape and maybe do not appre-
ciate it as much as they should.
When Dyck heard of the photo
show, she says she quickly came up
with some ideas for shots.
"It (the show) really excited me. I
wanted to do something wild and
raw and different looking," she says.
Dyck was able to
photograph a family she
had worked with before
in Varna.
The winning photo,
entitled Huron County
Gold, depicts a combine
and tractor moving
towards the camera.
The shot was taken
in the evening, and has
a cloud of dust rising
from behind the equip-
ment.
Dyck says it was a
wonderful feeling when
she was informed she
had won the award.
"The fact. that other people liked it
is great," she says.
Dyck's other photo depicts a
farmer walking towards a broken
down combine with a wrench in
hand, also taken at sunset.
"It's a dark moody image of what
agriculture can be like for a farmer,"
she says.
Currently, the photo show is on
display at the Wingham library.
The show will come to the Medical
Centre in Seaforth for the month of
March.
McDonnell says the show has been
well received so far, and will consid-
er making the show an annual
event.

Deputy Clerk Brad Knight told
council at a recent meeting that the
e -waste collection at the Walton
Landfill site has been a success so

Over 4,000 pounds of e -waste have
been collected since November.
Knight mentioned that the admin-
istration is thinking of setting up a
two-day e -waste pickup over the
Easter weekend.
E -waste, which includes computer
equipment and household appli-
ances, is picked up from the Walton
landfill site by a Stratford firm
called Stack It and pack It.
