Although he was in ill health for some time it came as a shock at the last. He is survived by two sons, five grandson, one granddaughter and nine great grandchildren. Earl farmed on the 4th con. of McGilliv- ray all his lite until 25 years ago when he moved to Centralia. His son Douglas and Mary Lou are now operating the family farm. The sympathy of the community goes out to his family at this time. The funeral service took place on Sunday at Hopper Hockey funeral home, Exeter, conducted, by Rev. Deborah Carter and Rev. Bob De- graw. The White family of Detroit and Windsor spent a few days last week with Mr. Dixon and was with him at the time of his death.

Reminders on spreading manure CLINTON - Spring is here. Grass is growing, birds are singing, it's time to think about spreading man- ure. Here are some reminders for spreading manure - especially liquid manure - that will help reduce odours, make the most of nutrients, and prevent pollution: Wait until the soil is dry enough that you could prepare a seedbed. This is sometimes very hard to do, but it avoids a lot of problems. Work the manure into the soil as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours. Check tile outlets from the field during and after spreading. If you see any evidence of manure in the tile, plug the tile, call Ministry of Environment, pump the polluted water onto the field. If you see manure ponding in a field after it is spread, assume it will get into the tile under the pond (no, it isn't filtered by the soil) and take the steps noted. Apply manure at nutrient appli- cation rates needed for corp produc- tion. Use soil tests to monitor lev- els of P and IC Don't over apply! Ron Fleming, P. Eng.

Jack's Jottings Jack Riddell MPP Huron t From Queen's Park Ottawa recreation centre receives top accessibility award The Amethyst Award, the highest honour in the Premier's Awards for Accessibility was presented last week to the architects and engi- neers who designed the Dovercourt Recreation Centre. Established in 1985, the Premier's Awards for Accessibility are presented for excellence in the design of buildings and environments that provide ease of access and use for everyone, including disabled persons. The Awards are intended to encourage individuals and teams of pro- fessionals to incorporate excellence in the design of barrier -free fea- tures m buildings and environments and to focus public attention on society's requirement for this type of design. Added to this year's presentations is the Minister's Award, a new program for university and college students who have shown sensi- tivity and creativity in the area of barrier -free design. .The Dovercourt Recreation Centre was one of 11 finalists, includ- ing the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill, in the 1988 competition. In announcing their selection, competition judges praised the Centre for the integration of features ranging from floor patterns which provide guidance to visually -impaired users, to accessible counters, drinking fountains, elevator buttons and an accessible kitchen. They com- mented that "there is no feeling of separateness and segregation," in the centre, adding that in this respect it was beuer than anything they had seen. Premier David Peterson described the promotion of buildings ac- cessible_to all as "crucial" for the social and economic integration of persons with disabilities. He praised Ontario architects, landscape ar- chitects, designers and engineers who are making barrier -free features "the rule not -the exception in our buildings and environments." "We know that more than one million Ontario men, women and children have some type of disability. For many of these individuals, barrier -free design isn't some abstract academic concept - it's essential for independent living." Joining Premier Peterson at the awards presentation was Remo 'Mancini, Minister Responsible for Disabled Persons. Mr. Mancini congratulated the 26 recipients of the 1988 Premier's Awards for Ac- cessibility and challenged Ontarians to think about how accessibility relates to the people who use our buildings and environments. "Many of us," the Minister said, "take for granted access to the buildings and facilities in our communities. But until recently, per- sons with disabilities have often been excluded from many of our en- vironments. Grants to riding Nabisco Brands Canada Ltd., Exeter. was recently one of five re- cipients of grants under the Ontario Small Food Processors' Assis- tance Program. The program offers incentive grants to processors of Ontario -produced agricultural products, which is good for the prov- ince's food industry. Nabisco will receive $11,448.67 in capital fund- ing. Vanastra Lions Housing Incorporated has been allocated 36 units for non-profit housing under the Ministry of Housins's "Homes Now" program. The program initially announced in the April 1988 budget is the largest non-profit program ever undertaken by the pro- vincial government. This month a total of over 17,600 allocations were announced across the province. This is in addition to 3,000 al- located to four major non-profit producers this past October. I com- mend Vanastra Lions Housing Incorporated on their initiative in do- ing their part to provide this much needed housing in our area, and for assisting the province in working toward our objective of provid- ing affordable housing.
