letters to the editor
Thank you
Dear Editor:
I would like to express my sincere appreci-
ation to the Lucknow Fire Department and
their fire chief Peter Steer for coming to our
rescue Monday night. They generously
offered to open their doors to us after the
power outage at the Lucknow Legion during
our Passport Clinic.
I would also like to thank everyone who
Reader finds Humour
Dear Editor:
To me it came as a complete surprise, but
also a very enjoyable read, that you have
included a "HUMOUR" section in your
March 4 paper.
The author(s) should be complimented, as
the humour was both obvious and in some
cases, quite subtle!
came out to the clinic. We helped over 165
people process their passports that evening.
We sincerely appreciate your patience.
We are very grateful for your kindness!
Thank you!!
Sincerely,
Ben Lobb
Member of Parliament

After a long cold February and our winter
doldrums, the write-up was most welcome. I
can only hope that in some way, it will be
repeated and keep us in stitches.
I also compliment the author(s) on the
hilarious "PRO" turbine article.
Laurel and Hardy are long since gone, but
this may be the next best thing!

Huron County Food Charter and Huron Seed Library
Huron Food Action Nework Spring
Launch
Submitted
A winter of concentrated
activity has resulted in a
number of exciting projects
for the Huron Food Action
Network (HFAN). The Net-
work, which is comprised of
a broad base of food system
stakeholders from a diverse
range of backgrounds and
community involvement,
was established in 2013 to
provide a forum for net-
working, action and food
systems development. The
HFAN Community Food
Education Working Group
has in partnership with the
Huron County Library
developed a Huron Seed
Library to promote seed
saving and stocking. The
HFAN Huron Food Policy
Council has facilitated a
community based process
which has resulted in a
Food Charter for Huron
County. Both these initia-
tives and a new logo and
website will be launched at
the Huron Food Action Net-
work meeting to be held
March 26, 6:30-9pm at the
Huron County Health Unit.
A seed library is a deposi-
tory of seeds held in trust for
the members of that library.
Members come to the library
and borrow seed for their
garden. They grow the plants
in their garden and at the
end of the season; they let a
few plants 'go to seed.' From
those plants, they collect
seeds and return the same
amount of seed (or more) as
they borrowed at the begin-
ning of the growing season.
Seeds are free to members.
The library is both a collec-
tion of seeds and a commu-
nity of gardeners. The goals

of a seed library is to prevent
the loss of seed diversity,
protecting varieties from
extinction and developing
seeds that have adapted to
regional conditions and
challenges as well as encour-
aging the community to
grow their own fresh food.
Currently seeds can be bor-
rowed at the Exeter and
Wingham branches of the
Huron County Library.
A food charter is a vision
and often the first step in
planning for change as it vis-
ualizes what a positive food
future could look like. It out-
lines the goals and objec-
tives of the community and
becomes a tool to affect and
inform policy. The Huron
County's Food Charter
development process, a year
in length, involved engaging
community members and
seeking their input into what
values were important when
considering food in Huron
County. The resulting feed-
back was gathered and a
draft Charter was pro-
duced. The Draft Charter
was then brought back to the
community for refinement
and approval. The final
Huron County Food Charter
will be launched and meet-
ing attendees will be asked
to sign on or endorse the
vision to help make it a real-
ity in Huron County.
The meeting is open to
the public and anyone who
has an interest in the vision,
mission and strategic direc-
tion of the HFAN join as a
member, participate in a
working group or receive
HFAN mailings.
