strategies that make good economic sense to the industry.
It is also critical that the people elected in this upcoming
election understand that when environmental improvements
farmers make contribute to the overall good of society, all of
society 'should share the cost.
With these things in mind, the OFA will continue to work
tirelessly to help residents of rural Ontario get the information
needed to elect the best people to represent their concerns and
interests.
We will also stay involved with the successful candidates to
ensure they remember their campaign commitments to
farmers, their families, and the
agriculture industry.
Having these thoughts clearly understood and accepted by
election candidates is a major task for all Ontario farmers.
OFA is prepared to play its role in this campaign.... arc you
with us?
Letter
Arguments about cost, not safety,
more likely to sway politicians
From Page 4
move on in life.
Those victims are but the tip of the iceberg. 1 fail to
understand how our government can continue to vote
against proposed legislation that would have a profound
effect in the decrease of the number of deaths and injuries
that occur on our roads every year.
It is, in fact, a vote for drunk drivers to continue to murder
and maim innocent victims and to leave families across this
country devastated.
Perhaps we should be tackling this from a different
perspective.
Rather than pleading for the safety of all Canadians, we
should be pointing out the yearly costs involved with
policing, health care, court expensive (not to mention the
time factor involved), insurance settlements that drive up
our insurance premiums, etc.
I'm sure the list goes on and billions of dollars are wasted
each year. Money seems to be the only thing that gets the
attention of our current government that has been entrusted
with the task of making this a better country. Apparently,
lives are secondary.
Sincerely.

Hullett interpretive centre gives kids
hands-on lessons about local wildlife
By Susan Hundertmark
Expositor Editor
With 14 experiment
stations and a hands-on
display that allows students
to handle the pelts and nests
of the animals that can be
found in the Hullett Wildlife
Area, a new interpretive
centre is open and ready to
educate about local wildlife.
"The community at large
doesn't know what we have
to offer here," says
environmental education
and volunteer coordinator
Sandra Johnstone.
"We're promoting the
interpretive centre through
the local school boards but
we're really just beginning,"
she says.
While the Friends of the
Hullett started talking about
creating an interpretive
centre about three years ago,
a Trillium grant allowed the
centre to he built over the
past six months at the
Hullett's main building. An
official opening was held
recently to celebrate the
new centre.
The interpretive centre
includes all the resources a
teacher would need to study
the plant, animal and insect
life at the Hullett, along
with hands-on examples.
A large glass display case
is designed to be opened up
and explored, with a map of
where you can find what's
displayed within the 1200
hectares of land contained

in the wildlife area.
As well, a diorama below
shows the natural habitat of
the animal displayed. along
with the other animals likely
to be found in thc same
location.
"We want you to pick up
the lids of the display case
and have a look at thc tree
rings or beaver pelts and
figure out how they fit in
context with the rest of the
wildlife here so yott could
go out into the marsh and
find them." says media and
information officer David
Blaney.
Also displayed on the
walls arc the various
habitats found throughout
the 35-40 kilometres of trail
at Hullett including
meadow, swamp. marsh,
floodplain. upland
deciduous and upland
conifer.
Blaney says one of thc
most important habitats at
the Hullett is thc native
Vick meets Rick Hansen
through spinal cord fundraiser
From Page 1
conversation with him."
Vick says Hansen's WIM
event will raise awareness
about the quality of life of
people living in wheelchairs,
help to improve accessibility
for wheelchairs and possibly
lead to a cure.
"He's done a lot for the
cause. It's just the beginning
of something great," says
Vick.
The "Roll for Hope"
Sunday invites participants to
wheel, bike, skate, run or
walk to support spinal cord
research and quality of life
programs.
Vick just finished
paiiicipating in a spinal cord
research project at McMaster
University which involved
walking on a treadmill, with
the help of two people
moving his legs.
"It went really well. It felt
good to be exercising and
nice to get walking again with
some help," he says.
The study stimulated his
legs with electrodes and
measured the blood flow and
spasms in his le,Fs with the
aim of determining how to
mend the damage to his
y -:spinal cord.
"It was just like going to
the gym and exercising but it
was a four-hour drive for 45
minutes of walking." says
Vick.
While he hopes to continue
the treadmill training as part
of his regular exercise
regime, Vick is also planning
to return to school at the
University of Western
Ontario this fall now that he
has a truck with hand controls
as transportation.
His duties as ambassador
Sunday include showing off
his converted truck, judging a
ribfest competition and giving
a speech before the festivities
begin.
Vick says he hopes thc
event will improve
accessibility for wheelchairs
around Stratford and
Seaforth.
Half of the money from the
event will remain in Stratford
to improve accessiblity to thc
Stratford arena where thc
Cullitons play.
"Whenever i played, the
wheelchair section was full
with about 12 people so they
could use more accessibility,"
he says.
As well, he says getting
around Seaforth can be tough
in a wheelchair.
"i can get into one hank,
the post office and my
hairdresser but not enough of
downtown is accessible." he
says.
Sunday's Wheels in Motion
event begins at 10 a.m. at
Lower Queen's Park on
Lakeside Drive in Stratford.
