with vegetables rather than trees or
flowers.

twice this year." said Robinson.

To peace. Frank McKay's Grade 5/6 class at McCurdy Public School dedicated their garden to
peace last week. The vegetable garden is a pilot project of the Kids Kitchen Table Gardens
program.
also part of the pilot project and are
peace gardens as well.
Kitchen Table Advisor Lynda
Rotteau said the gardens' help stu-
dents learn -about peace and caring
for plants.
"it gives students a place to go
that has a more peaceful at-
mosphere," she said.
During the dedication ceremony,
the students said they learned to
work together. communicate. grow
food and differentiate between
plants and weeds.
"it has been surprising how little
the students knew about growing
food when the project began. They
now have a new awareness of the
work that goes into- producing tool
and a, greater respect for those who
grow it;" Rottcau explained.•
The garden will he part of the
community. A different family will
tend the garden each week the stu-
dents are not in school.
McCurdy's garden wouldn't have
happened if mit for the response of
local businesses and organizations
to the requests of the students: Rot-
tcau pegs the value of the donations
at more than $600.
Exeter's Canadian Tire,
McLean's Home Hardware and the
Do-lt Center contributed tools and
the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation
Authority provided Iumher for the
raised beds.
The Hensall Compost Facility do-
nated compost which Rotteau says
is a factor in making McCurdy's
garden the healthiest of the three in
Huron County.
The Children's Aid Society of
Huron and Rural Response for
Healthy Children obtained a gram
from the Canadian Living Founda-
tion to create the gardens.
"This is all part of a long range
plan to teach students how to grow
food in all schools in the Huron
Perth systems," Rotteau explained.
A grant application has been sub-
mitted to the Federal Environment
Canada Action 21 program.
If successful, the remaining
schools in Huron will he able to
create gardens next ycar and pilot
gardens will be established in
Perth.
"This summer a work hook will
he created for distribution to all
schools containing lesson plans and
garden ideas to enable any school
that wishes to bcgin their own gar-
den should the Action 21 grant be
unsuccessful," Rottcau added.
Correction
Last week in the T -A it was in-
correctly reported that a F- 1 17
Stealth Fighter appeared at the
Grand Bend International Air Expo
on June 3.
As well, in a picture a U.S. CI -30
Hercules was incorrectly identified
as a USAF KC- 135 Stralotankcr.
The T -A regrets any inconvience
these errors may have caused:
