So many people had lined up
for the H1N1 vaccination last
Monday at the Seaforth arena
that the clinic, scheduled for
3-7 p.m.Pbegan at 2 p.m.
"We had a fantastic turn-
out in S9aforth and we had
to turn away quite a few at
• the end of the clinic because
we ran out of H1N1 vaccina-
tions," said Christina Taylor,
public health manager for the
Huron County Health Unit.
Taylor said 500 H1N1 shots
and 200 seasonal flu shots
were given at the Seaforth
clinic, where a line contin-
ued out the door and into the
parking lot after the vaccina-
tions ran out.

Using the continued increasing demand
at the Seaforth and Area Food Banks as
their guide, this year's Seaforth Christ-
mas Bureau organizers are expecting an
increased demand for help this Christ-
mas.
And, Anne Middegaal and Catherine
Melady are also hoping that the challeng-
es of the recession will not prevent Sea -
forth residents from being as generous as
they usually are.
"It's not a healthy economic climate but
we know the people in Seaforth are very
generous," says Melady.
"Any help will be appreciated," says

Help is there
for
struggling
farmers

Help is available.
That's the message represen-
tatives from Huron County's top
two industries are giving people
who've lost their jobs or are
struggling in the agriculture or
manufacturing business.
Wayne Black, president of
the Huron County Federation
of Agriculture, contacted Chris
Meier, president of the Huron
Manufacturing Association, to
put together a media release
noting that the two industries
are facing similar economic
challenges and both farmers
and manufacturing workers are
feeling stressed.
As the holiday season ap-
proaches, the unemployed are
at risk of becoming depressed,
Black says.
He and Meier sent out the
media release to local newspa-
pers and a Wingham radio sta-
tion, identifying practical ways
of coping with job-related pres-
sures.
"People have to understand
it's not their fault," Black says.
"And with Christmas coming,
some people are getting de-
pressed because they feel the
need to buy gifts and they are
struggling. The banks are pres-
suring them quite hard right
now."
Black says he's heard from
some farmers that their banks
are suggesting foreclosure.
He says others have given up
