Hill hoping for common sense
VARNA — "In one sense it was
very successful," says Varna area
farmer Bev Hill of the April 12 farm
protest which slowed the delivery of
food at Cambridge, Whitby and
Ottawa terminals.
Hill, who was one of many pro-
testers says although the protest
has not produced results yet, there
was still a sense of accomplishment.
"We intended to demonstrate
what we're prepared to do and
what we can do," says Hill.
Hill was also impressed with how
many protesters came out, which
was close to 200 and the different
areas in which the farmers came
from, including several from Huron
County.
"It far exceeded my expectations.
We didn't start to organize this until
Monday (April 10)," says Hill.
The decision wasn't made until
the Sunday prior, leaving little time
for details to be planned, but
according to Hill this is a "sign of
the times and where the times are
not" in the agriculture industry.
Hill felt the protest in Ottawa in
Gun hunting
motion carried
LUCAN BIDDULPH — A motion
passed at Lucan Biddulph council
Monday night will allow Sunday
gun hunting during the regular
hunting season.
First vice -chairperson Tony
Johnston of the Ontario Federation
of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) for
Lucan and area explained to coun-
cil that 67 municipalities in south-
western Ontario have adopted this
motion.
The OFAH has 81,000 members
in Ontario and 22 members in the
zone, which is Lucan and area.
Johnston says by supporting
Sunday gun hunting, it will assist in
improving the agriculture industry
as well as helping with public safe-
ty.
Council made a decision with no
discussion to support this motion.
particular which began April 12
and ended last Saturday had a sig-
nificant impact during that period
of time.
Protesters allowed only one truck
out every 20 minutes.
"They were in complete control of
the truck traffic," says Hill.
"If anyone became over zealous
they penalized them in minutes,"
adds Hills.
He also says the protests revital-
ized the farming community and
they now know what it's going to
take to get some government sup-
port but quickly adds, "We do not
not want to do that (slowing food
delivery) but that will clearly be the
government's decision."
Hill says he is hopeful to see some
response from the government and
although Federal Minister of
Agriculture and Agri -Food and
Minister for the Canadian Wheat
Board Chuck Strahl announced last
Saturday that the farmers would be
pleased with some of the govern-
ment break-throughs as far as
money is concerned, Hill says,
"We'll believe it when we see it."
"Hopefully common sense will
prevail," adds Hill.

Exeter Public School Council pleased
SOUTH HURON — South Huron council
received a friendly letter at its April 10
meeting.
Mayor Rob Morley read a letter from
Exeter Public School Council member
George Finch, who praised the municipali-
ty's employees for doing "such a tremen-
dous job of maintaining the sidewalks,
walkways from Pryde Subdivision and the
roadways leading to and around the Exeter
Public School."
Finch went on to say that the snow
removal between the sidewalk and road-
way in front of the Relouw Early Childhood
Learning Centre made loading children in
and out of cars safer.
"We look forward to the completion of the
newest safety initiative, which has already
been started, of installing a short cement
pathway at the east end of Victoria Street,
thus linking with the existing one leading to
Pryde Subdivision ... The children arriving
at the school from the east part of town will
be able to avoid cars turning and vehicle
operators will be able to identify with the
lines on the roadway that this is an area for
pedestrians to cross safely."
