Drain legislation
riles rural reeves
Huron County's rural township
reeves continue to be riled over
roadblocks put in the way of farm
drain cleanouts to protect fish habi
tat.
Describing new regulations under
which the Ministry of Environment
calls for studies into the impact of
cleanouts on fish populations,
Goderich Township Reeve Grant
Stirling said "They don't give a
damn about the farmers' tile drain
outlets- they just care about the
fish."
Hullett Reeve Tom Cunningham
said the Rural section of the
Ontario Municipal Association
(ROMA) had met with officials of
the federal Department of Fisheries
and Oceans who, he said, are "the
culprits". He said the provincial
officials are just responding to
pressure from the federal officials.
ROMA is working with provincial
officials, he said. "I have contacted
both local members (MPP Paul
Klopp and MP Murray Cardiff)",
he said. "We have to realize fish
eries is an important aspect of this
county, but agriculture is even
more important," he said. The addi
tional hold-up and the proposals for
changes to the drain are adding
considerably to the cost of drains
for the farmers involved, he said.
Brussels Reeve Gordon Work
man wondered, if the officials were
so worried about fish, why they
didn't do something to stop the peo
ple who regularly string nets along
the Maitland each summer to take
out large numbers of fish.
Going quickly
Buyers were like magicians, quickly making the contents of the bake table disappear at the
Majestic Women's Institute bake sale in Brussels Friday afternoon. By 15 minutes after the
opening of the sale, the table was almost bare.

4H visits
wildlife area
BY JENNIFER SZUSZ
On Friday, October 25 the Lon
desboro 4H Club travelled to the
Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area.
There members met Rob Gibson,
the deputy conservation officer.
From him they learned about how
the different kinds of birds build
their nests. They had to clean these
nests out of the bird boxes. They
also had to record what type of bird
used the box. They had the odd
mouse jump out at them, but they
got used to seeing them as the day
went on. They cleaned out over 100
boxes. The weather didn't seem to
agree with the members. It rained
most of the day.
