of a dear husband George, who

When the links of life are broken,

Along the road I trod,

And leave the rest with God.

We will always remember the way

And the way you spoke and smiled
The little things you said and did,
Are with us all the while.
You meant so very much to us,
That nothing we can say,
Can tell the sadness in our hearts,
As we think of you each day.
It doesn't matter the day or year,
There is always a heartache,
always a tear,
Memories don't fade, they just grow
deep
For the Dad and Papa we loved
But could not keep.

But it will never be the same without
you.

There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always precious memories,
Of the days when you were here.
We hold you close within our

Until we meet again.

News
Cut in dram funding
has farmers fuming
By Brian Shypula
Beacon -Herald
Critics vented anger
recently over the McGuinty
government's decision to cut
back funding of a
longstanding agricultural
program.
Speakers ripped apart the
government's July 28
announcement that the
Municipal Drain Outlet grant
program was being phased
out by 2006-07 during an
information session with
Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food staff in
Stratford attended by about 40
farmers and rural municipal
leaders.
Paul Mistele of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture
sarcastically offered the
OMAF employees jobs as
herdspeople on his farm.
"You probably wouldn't
have to handle as much
manure as you do with the
organization you're working
with right now," said the
farmer from RR 3 Rodney.
"There's a whole
cacophony of voices out there
that are saying this is really
crap what you're doing to us,"
he added.
The program helped
farmers and municipalities
pay for new drains or
improvements to old drains
by covering one-third of the
cost, anywhere from several
hundred to several thousand
dollars to individual farmers.
Farmers paid for the other
two-thirds based on their farm
acreage.
The province paid out
about $5.5 million in drainage
grants last year.
"I think they've
(government) got their
priorities all messed up. The
amount of money they're
saving isn't that significant,"
john Kuntze, president of a
Kitchener engineering
company that specializes in
rural drainage work, said
afterward.
The controversial end to the
program came on thc heels of
the McGuinty government's
pledge to spend $9(X) million
rebuilding Ontario's
infrastructure.
"You should be pushing to
have part of that infrastructure
grant designated to
agriculture." urged Bruce
Whale, a fanner and
municipal councillor in
Mapleton Township.
Huron -Bruce MPP Carol
Mitchell said how thc
infrastructure money will be
spent is still being negotiated
with David Caplan, Ontario
minister of infrastructure
renewal.
"Right now you cannot get
a yes or a no answer because
it is up for negotiations with
the minister," she said.
Ms. Mitchell. who is the
parliamentary assistant to
Steve Peters, Ontario minister
of agriculture and food.
encouraged municipalities to
take up thc drainage program
fight for farmers with Mr.
Peters at a meeting of the
Association of Municipalities
of Ontario next week.
"1 know that the minister is
out there working very hard to
promote agriculture and he
has heard your concerns," she
said.
The drainage grants are also
being discussed at roundtable
talks this week between the
agriculture minister and farm
leaders.
Her comments gave hope
the program could he renewed
but appeared to contradict
statements by Premier Dalton
McGuinty.
The premier said he will
not reconsider his
government's decision to
eliminate the grant money,
Ontario Farmer reported
recently.
He made the comment
more than a week ago at a
gathering on a farm near
Dresden.
OMAF employees David
Cooper and Sid Vander Veen
provided details about the
phase-out of the program,
including deadlines for
eligibility.
The province will pay the
grants for projects that were
completed. under way or
contracted as of July 28.
Provincial funding for
municipal drainage
superintendents continues but
will be capped at $1.5 million,
about $100,000 less than what
was spent last year.
The province also upped
the limit for private tile drain
loans from $20.000 to
$50,000 and promised to
reduce the interest rate from
the current eight per cent,
where its been since the early
1980s. The new interest rate
will he announced in
September.
Vander Veen said the
province averages about 500
tile loads a year with roughly
one-third of them reaching the
$20,000 limit.
Municipal drains have been
a fixture of rural Ontario's
landscape since the 1800s.
They were built to improve
drainage of agricultural land
by carrying away water from
private tile drain systems.
They also remove excess
water collected by roadside
ditches from other rural
properties.
"They are a vital
component of the local
infrastructure. Without them.
many areas of the province
would he subjected to regular
flooding, reduced production
from agricultural land and
increased public health risks,"
says an article on OMAF's
website.
Dorothy Kelly, mayor of
Morris-Turnherry, responded
to Cooper's explanation that
one of five criteria thc
government used to decide
budget priorities was bringing
prosperity to people.
"Farmers are people. They
need these drains to help them
have good crops." she said.
Huron -Bruce Mental Health
Association gets funding
increase of two per cent
By J.nnifer Hubbard
Goderich Signol-Star Staff
Lifc will be a little easier
for mentally ill people in
Huron and Bruce Counties,
thanks to a two per cent
increase in funding for the
local branch of the Canadian
Mental Health Association.
Delighted to he receiving
an unexpected cheque from
the provincial Liberals.
Canadian Mental Health
Association Huron -Perth
executive director John
Robertson called last month's
funding announcement
"welcome news."
Huron and Bruce Counties
received a total of $240,994
as part of the initiative to
increase funding for
community mental health
services across the province
by $65 million in 2004-05
bringing this year's total to
$463 million.
"Our government is
reaching out to people with
mental Illness in Huron and
Bruce and expanding services
where they need them, closer
to home," Huron -Bruce MPP
Carol Mitchell said of the
July 15 funding
announcement.
"We arc ending years of
stagnant funding in mental
health by investing in
community services so that
people with mental illness
can find the care they need
and avoid being
hospitalized."
Robertson said his
organization would he
receiving approximately
$28,000 of the announced
figure. That portion will he
divided among service
providers in the two counties,
which include thc Women's
Shelter, Second Stage
Housing and Counseling
Services of Huron, Alexandra
Marine and
General Hospital, Stratford
General Hospital, Exeter's
Watch program and Perth
County's Phoenix Survivors.
And while it won't he
enough to create new
programs, Robertson said the
new funding which translates
to a two per cent increase in
the 2004-05 budget will
allow local mental health
services to continue in their
current state.
A
