Community kitchen underway
BY JACKIE FITTON
Expositor Editor
Having a greater variety of
food for less money; getting
a break, sharing cooking
skills or learn new ones, and
taking home four or five
meals to freeze.
Maybe it seems like a
dream, but the establishment
of a Community Kitchen at
Seaforth's Northside United
Church has become a reali:
ty.
Organizers, Rev. Jane
Kucpfer, Joan Stewart and
Joyce Ribcy are enthusiastic
about the project.
The kitchen facilities for
the project have been donat-
ed by the church on Goderich
Street.
An initial meeting of volun-
teers held in the early part of
January determined there was
a need in the arca for the
establishment of a communi-
ty kitchen.
It is designed to enable peo-
ple who are living on their
own. or on a limited budget,
or having difficulties with
time management, or just
want to learn more about
cooking and smart shopping
tips.
"It's open to everyone who
is interested," Ribey said.
Community kitchens are
also established in Clinton.
and Goderich. Each being
very successful.
Seaforth's community
kitchen opens its doors for
participants Wednesday and
Thursday Feh. 4 and 5, con-
tinuing the first Wednesday
and Thursday of each month.
•
The Wednesday schedule
hegins at 10 a.m.. and
involves planning and shop-
ping. The Thursday session
also begins at 10 a.m. and
involves cooking in hulk.
Instructor Ralph Wood conducted a 40 hour Trappe s course' this weekend at the Seaforth agricul-
ture building. Through the Ministry of Natural Resources the course must be completed in order to
obtain a license, pact of the course instructs trappers on humane trapping methods. (Fitton photo)
Spirited discussion
A representative of the
Ontario Liquor Boards
Employees' Union addressed
Seaforth Council at last
Tuesday night's meeting, and
councillors subsequently
passed a motion endorsing
that trade union's objection to
the provincial government's
plan to privatize the LCBO.
Mike Sullivan, Tavistock
store manager, said our
"quality of life"will he affect-
ed. as will service at "all
small stores within a 30 -mite
radius of Seaforth." Local
LCBO manager Gcrry Allan
was the other half of the two-
man deputation,. although he
did not address council.
Small stores Tike Scalorth's
account for roughly half of
the LCBO's profits, about
$750 -million annually. the
union spokesman said, not to
mention the money the puhli-
cally-owned hoard pays in
taxes. 1t employs about 1.500
full-time staff, and another
3,500 part-time.
Privatization will result in
these small stores being
closed, with the private sector
assuming many of their func-
tions.
SOCIAL, COSTS
Sullivan predicted, among
other changes. this will lead
to less product 'selection and
higher costs for consumers
with individual retailers
charging whatever their par-
ticular markdts will hear.
' It isn't clear whether the
government plans to continue
warehousing and the control
of alcohol distribution.
Sullivan said.
,When Alberta privatized. it
did.
The union spokesman also
predicted a social cost to pri-
vatization too. with less
effective control of alcohol
sales to the underage„and
intoxicated as well as the
downloading of "significant”
regulatory costs.
The OLEBU pitch was
accompanied by a slick infor-
mation pamphlet, distributed
for council's information at
its meeting the week before.
UNANIMOUS SUPPORT
When the deputation Icft,
Reeve Brian Ferguson said
• the union was "lying" and the
material presented didn't talk
about cosi. and the "signifi-
cant savings" that could he
achieved in this arca by the
Increase only half story
It is misleading to say
Scaforth's policing costs will
go up $22,247 this year,
although that's the amount
the OPP Staff Sgt. Brian
Baldwin estimated this
town's contract will increase
for 1998 at a council meeting
last month.
Coun. Lin Stefflcr says that
may he a true fact, but the
figure only tells half the
story.
Actual expenditures have
been under the budget esti-
mates for the past two years,
roughly $17,000 and $25,000
respectively, she pointed out
at Seaforth Council's Jan. 8
meeting.
Coun. Stcfflcr should know.
She remains secretary of
Seaforth's Police Services
Board and was also a repre-
sentative on it before resign-
ing after winning a scat on
council in November's
municipal elections.
"You don't hear about it at
the other end," she said, "at
the end of the year."
Arson suspected
Crime Stoppers of Huron
County says arson is suspect-
ed, and the police investiga-
tion continues, in a fire in
Hensall on Jan. 2.
Hensall firefighters were
called to an apartment build-
ing at 120 King St. at about
7:50 p.m., where "they found
a small fire burning in the
hallway of the apartment and
a second lire completely
engulfing thc kitchen of an
apartment. Extensive damage
was done in that unit, and
"severe smoke damage
throughout all seven apart-
ments.
government through privati-
zation. He worried that by
passing 'a motion of support,
council would he "adopting
the position of a trade union."
Deputy -reeve Bill Teall said
this was begging the ques-
tion, and those costs would
have already been factored
into the LCBO's impressive
profit figures.
What do we do, just sit
hack and let the province shut
Seaforth down - the liquor
store and high school? Coun.
John Ball rhetorically asked.
Coun. Michael Hak figured
Ontario will still get its tax
dollars through privatization.
and pursuing it means a one-
time windfall, and "the gov-
ernment has probably found a
way of making money."
After the spirited discussion
of pros and cons. council
passed the motion endorsing
the liquor hoard union's posi-
tion unanimously.

Seaforth's kitchen is a com-
bined effort of volunteers
with the following objec-
tives: to increase families
awareness of inexpensive
ways to eat well; to encour-
age families to buy healthy,
affordable food and to
encourage families to
increase their fruit and veg-
etable intake white also
learning about safe food han-
dling.
The participants get togeth-
er preparing the meals in
hulk: Each take home enough
for their families for a mini-
mum cost, Joan Stewart said.
The objective is to provide
people with good tasting eco-
nomical meals.
A single -person may not be
interested in cooking a large
casserole for themselves. A
single working parent may
not have enough time to
make nutritious meals for
her/his children. A senior cit-
izen may not have the interest
in cooking
"But it's also a social time,
a time for friendship," Ribey
said.
With thc backing of Rural
Response to Healthy
Children and the Huron
County Health, the group
will meet once a month plan
and prepare main course
dishes when they can take
home to freeze and use
throughout the remainder of
the month .
A single person with two or
three children would receive
four servings and about four
or five different meals.
Volunteer organizers will
have the whole program
down pat by the time the
kitchen _opens. They are tak-
ing a dry run and will iron
out the kinks so the commu-
nity kitchen will. run smooth-
ly.
