Zurich joins battl• against
provincial requirements
ZURICH - Village council has
joined Exeter's opposition to a
new labour law that will force the
village to spend thousands of dol-
lars on a seldom -used piece of
equipment.
Three weeks ago, Exeter coun-
cil began a campaign to protest
the requirement for each munici-
pality to purchase a trench liner.
The liner, which prevents the
walls of dug holes from collaps-
ing, has to be specially engi-
neered to for each municipality,
and cannot be loaned out. Exeter
estimated theirs would cost about
$16,000.
At Zurich's last council meet-
ing, reeve Bob Fisher said he
agreed with Exeter's position that
if the province is going to be
creating such new regulations, it
should be helping to pay the asso-
ciated costs. Council decided to
send a letter to the Ministry of
Labour, and to the local MPP.
"Why should each small munic-
ipality have one, when one larger
[town] would only need one. It
doesn't make any sense," said
councillor Keith Semple.
"I think we should put in [the
letter] that we're not so much
against purchasing one, but that
we can't share one." said Semple.
In a similar development, coun-
cil also decided to express their
feelings about possible changes
to the firefighter helmet require-
ments.
Many local municipalities were
upset by the province's regulation
a few years ago to require fire de-
partments to purchase bunker
suits for each firefighter. With
the suits costing about $1,000
each, many felt the regulation
was a burden to small municipali-
ties with volunteer departments,
and less of a problem for city fire
services.
Fisher asked council if they
wanted to oppose this proposed
legislation, especially if it didn't
include any grant programs to see
it through.
"Definitely, don't waste any
time," said councillor Barb Jef-
frey.
Cigarettes stolen from Hensall Legion
EXETER - The Exeter OPP say the Hensall Legion
was unlawfully entered Sunday night, and unknown
persons made off with about $1,000 worth of cigar-
ettes.
Police also say there was an auempted break-in at
the Three Boys Restaurant, also in Hensall, but the cul-
prits were unable to get into the building.
Anyone with information about these incidents is be-
ing asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-265-
1777.
On May 18, police say a break and enter at the Drift-
wood Trailer Park resulted in the theft of a fur coat,
bedsheets and pillows from a trailer.
The OPP also investigated three traffic accidents in
the past week, including a hit-and-run against a parked
car in Hensall, a collision in Stephen Township on Sat-
urday without injuries, and a boat trailer which became
unhooked from its vehicle on Highway 81 on Saturday.
Bug defense starts with common sense
GUELPH - As millions prepare
for things like the first -of -the -
season camping trip, the annual
cottage christening, or even just
getting back in touch with our own
back yards; summer fantasies
could quickly be replaced by the
buzz of a black fly or the annoying
mosquito looking for lunch.
Battlling the bugs is no small
time concern. In Canada there are
over 74 species of mosquito, not to
mention 110 types of black fly,
�32 deafly and 180 midge.
Dr. Gord Surgeoner of the Uni-
versity of Guelph, well known for
his work in the area of insect repel-
lent research, says "confusion
abounds when it comes to select-
ing products that are right for dif-
ferent outdoor situations. There's a
huge demand for protective prod-
ucts, and that leaves the door wide
open for a lot of misinformation."
New products continue to
emerge which are reputed to offer
repellent qualities but when scien-
tifically tested fail to live up to
marketing claims, according to Dr.
Surgeoner, who has tested every-
thing from orange peels to sonic
repellers.
Basic bug defense starts with
common sense. Avoid fancy co-
lognes, aftershaves, and even high-
ly scented shampoos when head-
ing outside. Likewise, for electric
bug zappers and pocket size sonic
repellers. Dr. Surgeoner's tests
show conclusively that these gad -
Summer begins
gets and gizmos do absolutely
nothing to keep the bugs away.
To be assured of a safe and long
lasting product it is best to stick to
well-known brand name repellents
- those with a registered PCP num-
ber on the label. According to Dr.
Surgeoner who regularly conducts
efficacy evaluations on repellents
for the Federal Government, "if
the product isn't registered as a re-
pellent, people are not assured of
proper protection. The label must
have a PCP registration 'number to
be considered authentic."
Proper application is also a must.
Spraying insect repellent in the air
offers no protection at all. The key
to maximum protection is a thor-
ough - but not heavy - coverage on
all exposed skin.
When it comes to clothing it's
good advice to dress for the bugs,
not the weather, especially in
wooded or wilderness areas. High
necklines are best, complemented
by long shirt sleeves and pants
tucked into socks.
Stay away from sandals and nev-
er go barefoot in the bush. Where
possible, avoid shiny jewellery as
well as bright and dark colours.
Choosing the best product for each
outdoor situation is easy. Generaly,
the higher the strength, the longer
lasting the repellent.
MRIP support
rates
announced
Friday
TORONTO - Premium rates and
support levels under the Market
Revenue Insurance Program have
been determined for the 1993-94
crop year, Federal Agriculture Min-
ister Charles Mayer and Ontario
Minister of Agriculture and Food
Elmer Buchanan announced Friday,
May 21.
"This information will be useful
to producers as they determine their
minimum expected revenue for the
coming year," said Buchanan.
"The program is an important one
for producers and the quicker they
have an indication of what kind of .
support it will provide for the com-
ing year, the better," said Mayer.
The Market Revenue Insurance
Program provides support to fann-
ers when the market price for crops
enroled is lower than the target
price calculated under the program.
Buchanan indicated that the exist-
ing program will be maintained.
Producers will receive payments
equal to 80 percent of their long-
term average farm yield multiplied
by the difference between the mar-
ket price and 80 percent of the
IMAP (Indexed Moving Average
Price).
The Market Revenue Program is
funded by the federal and provin-
cial govemmcnts, and Ontario pro -
