Tuckersmith openstenders
on seventh avenue
By Shelley McPhee
At their September &...
meeting, Tuckersmith Coun-
cil members will be studying
tenders for work on the new
..,,mmercial entrance at
Vanastra.
After years of discussion,
council, at their August
meeting, proceeded with the
initial steps towards the re-
opening of 7th Avenue. The
entranceway, from Highway
4, was in use when Vanastra
was the Canadian Forces
Base. The roadway has been
closed for several years and
council was prompted to re-
open the entrance by
Vanastra residents.
Although council had
originally estimated that the
project would cost approx-
imately $5,000, engineers
have calculated the work to
cost in the range of $13,000,
including engineer's fees.
In other council business
an assessment review court
was held on the Dill
Municipal Drainage Works.
The review court was
chairedby,Cotmcilior Robert
Broadfoot and attended by
Reeve Robert Bell, Bill
Siemon from McKillop
Township and Jack
Kinsmean from Hibbert
Township.
The court heard an appeal
from James Devereaux
regarding the assessment on
his lands (the east half of lot
1, concession 1 and the east
part of lot 16, concession 1 in
McKillop Township).
Engineer Henry Centen
from R.J. Burnside and
Associates was asked to
comment on the issue and
after study by the review
board, Mr. Devereaux's peti-
tion was rejected.
Tuckersmith will be seek-
ing ministry of
transportation and com-
munication approval for a
new stretch of sidewalk in
Egmondville from Victoria
Street to Queen Street on
County Road 12.
After considerable study,
Tuckersmith council . have
approved a site plan on lot
30, concession 1 in neighbor-
ing Stanley Township.
Richard Kootstra is building
a corn drying plant on that
property.
Council approved the site
plan with several stipula-
tions, including that the
structure sit some 150 feet
from the road allowance
between lots 30 and 31 in
Stanley and provided that
the building is 300 feet from
the ministry of the environ-
ment property.
Two tile drain loan ap-
plications were accepted by
council: Frank T.D.L. Nigh,
lot 1, concession 3, $7,200;
Arnold and John Van Milten-
burg, lot 7, concession 7,
$9,600.
R.J. Burnside and
Associates have been asked
to report on a drainage peti-
tion submitted by R. Scott
McGregor. Mr. McGregor
has requested im-
provements to drainage
works at lot 3, concession 10.

About 100 rural women who attended the
third annual Directions conference,
sponsored by Centralia College of
Agricultural Technology (LCAT) were
challenged to learn and work together.
Hilde Morden of Rodney, longtime
Women's Institute activist and member of
Women fo The Support of Agriculture,
opening seaker at the August 26 and 27
conferee asked, "what are you telling
yourself?"
"So you got the vote? What are you doing
with the responsibility? So you married a
farmer? Look at the role expectations and
how to cope with farm lifestyles. So you
want to be assertive? Learn to be selective
in saying yes and comfortable with saying
no."
Her audience saw the National Film
Board film Great Grandmother which
from historic photos, letters and diaries,
re-creates the story of women who helped
settle the prairies. "Women must learn to
network together, respect each other's
views, learn from each other, and just
generally help each other, regardless of
age, interest or relationships. We'll only be
as strong and effective for ourselves, our
families, our communities, our country,
when we are tolerant, confident and
united."
"Live for today, feel challenged for
tomorrow, and yesterday is what provided
your experience and knowledge," she said,
echoing the conference theme Legacy of
the Past; Challenge of the Future.
A welcome from CCAT principal, Doug
Jamieson, and discussion groups were

Agriculture in
schools
On Saturday, the rural women, from
many parts of Ontario, attended their
choice of workshops. From Eloise Calhoun
of Bruce County's Concerned Farm
women they heard how the group moved
from being upset about financial stress on
the farm to developing a book and a study
documenting the problems. Jean Johnson
of Middlesex Women for the Support of
Agriculture explained how the group is
organizing to have agriculture taught in-
telligently in the classroom.
Men aren't born with good money, skills,
they learn them and women must, London
stockbroker Sandra Burns told her
workshop on Financial Concerns of
Women.
Why bother? Money left in a savings ac-
count will not grow enough to fight infla-
tion, she explained. "We've got to make
our money work harder ... we work hard
for it. In dealing with financial advisors,
always ask yourself "who holds the gold?"
and treat them accordingly. Don't be too
loyal to any advisor at your own expense.
If they aren't helpful; don't use them," she
said.
Credit rating
Every woman to establish a credit
rating in her own name, needs a chequing
savings account ("deposit the family
allowance cheque") in her own name. Pay
some bills from it, and pay them on time. A
joint account is often assumed to be the
husband's despite the fact that the wife
does all the bookkeeping and signs the
Plowing match taking shape
The Huron County Plowing Match is
taking shape for the weekend of Sept. 16
and 17 at the farm of Clare Deichert of
Zurich.
The match starts on Friday morning
with coaching and in the afternoon the
junior match will take place. On
Saturday the main part of the program
gets underway with antique tractors,
horse-drawn plows and regular tractors all
plowing furrows.
A highlight of the match is the Queen of
the Furrow competition which starts at 9
a.m. on Saturday, The contestants
demonstrate their plowing ability, plows
are available and are interviewed around
10:30 a.m.
At noon the girls are taken for lunch
compliments of MPP Jack Riddell (Lib.
Huron -Middlesex). Following lunch, the
potential Queens return to the match site
where they deliver their speeches. The
winner is crowned that day and will go on
to compete at the 1984 International
Plowing Match to be held in Wellington
County.
Any young woman interested in entering
the competition should contact Ruth
Townsend of R.R. 3, Seaforth at 527-1629.
The Huron County Plowmen's
Association also offers a plowing class for
women in two categories, those under the
age of 24 and those over the age of 24.
For the non-plowers there are other
competitions to enter. The match offers
log sawing, horseshoe pitching and nail
driving.
A concession booth will be on the site to
feed the hungry plowers and spectators.

Everyone needs to hat all financial
details (account numbers, where they are;
investments; mortgages; insurance etc).
Tell your spouse the information and put a
copy with your lawyer and in your safety
deposit boa, she suggested.
A workshop on Woman and the Law with
lawyer Mary Dionysakupoulos of the
Battered Women's Advisory Clinic in
London heard that whoever gets interim
custody of children when a marriage
breaks up will probably keep them.
"Possession is nine -tenths of the law," she
said and the courts are usually reluctant to
move children back and forth.
Leaving a bad marriage? Don't leave
the children behind, she said
A domestic contract, even for couples
who have been married awhile, can be
used to set out each other's responsibilities
and rights and what happens to the family
assets if there is a separation. Wills, the
lawyer suggests are crucial if you want to
to learn
dispose of your estate rather than having
the courts do it for you. Spouses should do
them separately because they are per-
sonal. "Maybe you want to leave a little
something to your brother."
Other workshops included The Great
Journey of a Life Time Challenge with
Melanie McLaughlin of the Ministry of
Tourism and Recreation; Eating Well;
Being Well, with Deb Campbell of CCAT;
Developing Leadership Skills with Eloise
Calhoun; Time Management with Bev
Brown of The Rural Voice and poultry
farmer. Brenda McIntosh; Community
Development with Beth Slumskle and
Carolyn McDuff of Concerned Farm
Women and Relieving Stress with Sabina
Hubsher, a London therapist.
Exercise breaks to music were con-
ducted by fitness instructor Drusilla
Leitch of Seaforth, who teaches classes at
Vanastra for all ages and in Seaforth for
senior citizens.
The conference was co-ordinated by
Valerie Bolton of the Huron County group,
Women Today.
