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.
