Mr. and Mrs. Sam Thompson in Florida: Miss Sheila Anderson of Wilfrid Laurier Residents want to protect Hullett's farm land LONDESBORO - Protection of Hullett Township's agricultural land, from erosion, recreational facilities and the Hullett Wildlife Area, concern local residents. Township ratepayers met to discuss the natural environment, recreation and ex- tractive resources in the township at Feb. 13 meeting, part of a series of discussions on the township's secondary plan. Need for greater erosion work, limitation of any camping recreational facilities and controls on the Hullett Wildlife Area were cited as areas of major concern. Wildlife area Ministry of Natural Resources representative, Doug Puffer noted that the Hullett Wildlife Area is a benefit to people for recreation and as a. wildlife sanctuary. Local farmers, however, saw • the provincially owned marshland as a problem area. Lloyd Dale reported that hunters once shot all his ducks and he has weed problems on his land from the area. Mr. Puffer noted, "The Ministry of Agriculture and Food has a program which. allows for. compensation. But you almost have to catch the hunter in the act." Another Hullett resident, Clayton Riley said that geese eat acres of corn in the spring and Penny Overboe added, "Some farmers complain about ducks • ,and geese destroying-parrt� o-f-ifier`r crops:"�� Mr. Puffer noted that the ministry would be establishinc their own crops to attract the birds. He added, "We will round up the geese and move them if you let us know. You also have the recourse of shooting the predator, although we are obviously not in favor of this." Recreation Several residents agreed that Hullett Township may not be a municipality where cottage, areas, motels, camp and trailer parks should be established. Dave Overboe stated the .,residents' concern, "If agriculture has top priority, it is difficult to justify a motel or Campground. Problems may arise where thereis a campground beside an intensive hog operation." - Wayne Caldwell, from the Huron County Planning Department, said that where there are intensive recreational facilities, close to' intensive livestock operations, the recreational use creates a buffer zone around it, restricting agriculture. Mr. Puffer noted that the ministry is not planning any camping facilities in the Hullett Wildelife Area. Those attending the meeting expressed a need for more recreational facilities for ' local residents. Presently there is a ball diamond in Auburn and the elementary -school park.facilities in l,ondeshoro._-._:. _.- s "Londesboro is the focal point of the township and we really don't have anything belonging to Hullett Township. It would be beneficial to have these facilities," Mr. Overboe said. The Londesboro ball park, located at the school, is owned by the Huron County Board off Education. Hullett Township has in in- vested lights at the diamond and has a 20 - year lease on the ball park. The school board has indicated that they want the land used by the public, but Mr. Overboe emphasized, "The (Hullett) recreation committee wants to establish some facilities, but the school board controls where and how they are located." Mr. Caldwell suggested that the proposed secondary plan. could look at Community Improvement. Policies which allows the municipality to apply for provincial funding under the Ontario Neighborhood Improvement Plan. Erosion control The liveliehood of many Hullett residents, the farmland and its future from erosion, . concern many farmers. • Maitland Valley Conservation Authority representative Phil. Beard reported that because of soil erosion, keeping the drains maintained is a major problem. He noted, "The, south Maitland is one of the dirtiest. rivers in the basin and Hullett and McKillop are.two of the more intensive LithtsTbtzypiay, ound equipment By Dora Shobbrook LON.DESBORO - At their Feb. 16 meeting, the Londesboro Lions agreed to purchase and install $5,300 worth of playground equipment at the village ball diamond: Designed by the Paris Playground Equipment Compnay, this equipment is modular iii concept and can accommodate additions in the future. • At the- same meeting, the Lions agreed to , donate approximately $700 to various district and international Lions supported activities.

Hullett residents agreed that there is an urgent need to protect the water and the soil. Huron Warden Tom Cunningham em- phasized this by noting, "I have heard horror stories from areas to the south, where there are no windbreaks or woodlots." Murray Lyon added, "If woodlots are cleared, we could end up with the prairies. I remember three or four years ago on a windy day near Kinburn the soil was blowing like snow." It was suggested that to encourage further :erosion, there is a need for more incentive and financial assistance from . the govern- ment. Warren Knight; from the Ministry of Natural resources reported that the province is considering removing the tax on wetlands. He added, "The Ministry of Natural Resources is not against drainage, but only against certain types of poor drainage. Proper drainage can help reduce soil erosion." Regarding flood prone areas along the Maitland River, Phil Beard noted that the MVCA would like to preserve the natural river valleys, to help prevent flooding and keep them free of problems. - The Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act -also provides Jggialation to evaluate private dame sites.
