Huron Federation of Agriculture
hearing clawback complaints
Susan H u n d e r t m a r k
The Huron Federation of Agriculture has
only received two phone calls complaining of
clawbacks from the province.
But, the group is collecting information
about how many Huron farmers who received
assistance during the BSE crisis are now get-
ting no assistance during the grain and
oilseed income crisis.
The issue was initially raised in Bruce
County where a number of beef farmers have
been told they were overpaid with "advance
payments" through BSE recovery programs
when they have applied for relief from the
Ontario grain and oilseed program payment.
(See accompanying story on Bruce County
farmer John Gillespie.)
"How has either of these programs - BSE
and the grain and oilseed payment program -
been of any benefit? These farmers had two
disasters and losses in both situations," says
Paul Nairn, of the Huron federation.
"If the government is going to support each
of those -losses, it's my opinion that there
shouldn't be a clawback," he says.
Because Bruce County has a large number
of beef farmers, the federation there is getting
more phone calls from farmers who are get-
ting bank statement -like forms showing the
payments they received under the BSE pro-
gram and how the aid they qualify for under
the grain and oilseed program is absorbed by
their overpayment from the BSE program.
"There's some concern that is wasn't made
clear at the time they were getting advance •
payments," says Nairn.
Huron federation president Nick Whyte
says since all the government programs are
funnelled through CAIS (Canadian
Agricultural Income Stabilization) which
comes up with a yearly calculation of what
farmers are entitled to under various pro-
grams.
"Anything you're entitled to first goes
against your debt and that's not going over
very well with us," he says.
Whyte points out how farmers and both the
provincial and federal governments have been
complaining about how the CAIS program is
flawed but nothing has been done to fix it.
"My recommendation would be to fix the
flaws in. CAIS or get rid of it," he says.
Whyte says his first reaction to hearing
about the clawback was that it is "outra-
geous."
"It can leave a sour taste in your mouth," he
says.
The situation will be discussed at the next
Huron federation meeting, says Whyte.
Seaforth child narrowly
misses being struck by car
A Seaforth child was almost struck by a car
on April 28 after appearing from between two
parked cars on Main Street, reports the
Huron OPP:
The driver slammed on the brakes and was
able to narrowly miss the child, who fell frons
her bike.
The Huron OPP are reminding parents to
speak to their children about the rules of the
road and safety when biking.
Cycling is a fun, healthy and inexpensive
way to get around, whether you cycle to and
from work, or just tour around.
However it can be hazardous, unless - your
bicycle handling and traffic skills are in good
shape.
Safety rules to be followed include wearing
an approved helmet, especially for every
cyclist under age 18, steering clear of debris
and holes in the pavement, scanning the road
ahead, for potential hazards and learning to
anticipate errors by motorists, pedestrians
and other cyclists.
When going straight ahead, use the right-
hand through lane, staying about one metre
from the curb. Ride in a straight line at least
one metre away from parked vehicles to avoid
opening of doors
A bicycle is a vehicle under the
Ontario Highway Traffic Act (HTA),
which means that, as a cyclist, you
have the same rights and responsi-
bilities to obey all traffic laws as
other road users.
