The generous donation will provide Lamont with a Spinoza bear, a tool used by the CNIB over the past four years, which `speaks from the heart' with the aid of a high quality four -track cassette player tucked in the bear's belly. "The CNIB receives no government funding for these ($250) bears so we really rely on companies like Southwestern to buy them," said Lee -Anne Cross, CNIB Early Intervention Specialist. "We really want to thank Southwestern for their generosity." With Spinoza's help, blind and visually impaired children like Lamont can access the CNIB library of books and magazines on tape and get an early start on the road to literacy. Lamont was born premature and as a result has been blind all of his life. his mother Tracy says this gift means a lot since music plays a big part in Jason's. Iife.

The bear costs $250 and comes to Jason as the result of a donation from Southwestern Equipment. Bob Ward, one of Southwestern Equipment's owners holds Spinoza, Ray Lamont ('an employee of Southwestern's) and his wife Tracy Lamont (far right), are thrilled to receive this gift. photo that Jason had the opportunity to get one of these bears because they are very expensive and have to be donated (rather than purchased)," Tracy said. Tracy says because Jason can't see, he loves music and really tunes into it and she also says he has taken a special liking to both the Dixie Chicks and Bon Jovi. Although Jason was a little hesitant upon receiving the large talking bear, Tracy is confident he will warm up to it and she says it is nice to have books on tape so he will be able to keep up with other kids once he is in school. "It takes him a while to get 38. Auction Sale used to things because he can't see it he does not know how big it is (or) if it can hurt him," she explained. Another Spinoza bear was also made available to a young child in Stratford which will also allow him to enjoy the comfort and fun it can provide, thanks to the generosity of Southwestern. Bob Ward, one of the owners of Southwestern Equipment, says the money was raised through a Yamaha motorcycle ride held on a Friday the 13th, to Port Dover, and Ward said the company will do this same ride every year to help out the CNIB. 38.

Farm Hiker Tour features Brussels The bounty of the Huron County farmers in the Bluevale, Belgrave and Brussels arca will be on display for all to see as the Brussels Agricultural Society hosts the sixth annual Huron Farm Hiker Tour on Sunday, Sept. 30 from 12-5 p.m. to kick off Ontario Agriculture Week. Every year the tour features a different location of Huron County and was held in Seaforth in 1998. Following the tour, there is a Harvest Supper at 5 p.m at the Brussels Community Centre featuring only Huron County produce and meats. "It is an excellent opportunity for farmers and non -farmers to see what's out there and to educate themselves as well as their children," said Jacquie Bishop, tour committee member and co-owner of Shayrina Sheep Farm, Bluevale. Thcrc are a total of six stops on the tour. Farms include Shayrina Sheep Farm, which has 200 ewes, shearing demonstrations, wool processing information, a corn maze, horse-drawn wagon rides and many different animals including rabbits, ducks, pigs, laying hens, a pot- bellied pig, llama, chickens, pony and a sheep dog. Also featured on thc tour are horse stables. Young piglets and sows will be on display in Walton. Thcrc is no charge for the tour. Participants in the tour start the route at thc Brussels Community Centre to pick up their maps of the tour route. There's also a fun questionnaire to fill out to receive prizes. "People arc getting further and further away from primary agriculture and don't realize what goes into a litre of milk or a pound of bacon. It's an excellent opportunity to sec what's happening in the local industry," • said Bishop. For Harvest Supper tickets, call Dorothy Cummings at 887-9393.
