"US. pork producers are affect- ed as much as we are. "What we're dealing with is a crisis that has the potential to have a long-term debilitating effect on the pork indus- try." : Durham MP Alex Shepherd said he expects the government to approve a package for farmers, but warns the money -- it's been estimated $400 mil- lion to $500 million will be earmarked for farmers -- will be in demand across the country. Grain farm- ers on the prairies have also seen their prices bot- toming out, and are in dire straits as well, said Mr. Shepherd. He's hopeful farmers can also get help from the National Income Stabilization Assistance (NISA) program, a fund into which farmers pay, and can draw upon when revenues fall.

Durham Police report that around approxi- mately 5:20 a.m. on Nov. 25, a white male pulled into the Manchester Esso and pumped $21.21 worth of fuel into his older model Chev pickup truck and left without paying. The suspect was last seen turning south- bound on Highway 12. In other news, Durham Police were called to a Queen St. business last week after thieves stole a porch swing from a rear deck. Sometime overnight Nov. 21, thieves made off with a white cedar frame porch swing val- ued at $329 from the rear of the Settlement House building.

It's a voluntary program." Mr. Zekveld responds that while hog farmers do pay into the NISA pro- gram, it's in danger of run- everyone's needs are met. He advises the feds to work quickly on an assistance plan, and provide farmers with details so they can arrange short-term financ- ing with their bankers and storm. "Producers can't sus- tain this for very long," he said. "You don't have the ability to pay the bills; you don't have the ability to pay your mortgage. You pay the feed mill." When farmers are hurt- ing financially, there are consequences for other -- sectors in the community, Mr. Zekveld said. He added that farmers don't tance, but funding now literally means the sur- vival of some operations. "What I would suggest to Mr. Vanclief is to work at some mechanism to allow dollars to flow as ning out of funds before weather the P OO N T NO SECURITY DEPOSIT i '99 Limited Edition GMC Jimmy Descente A Cah B U C SMARTLEASE Buy or lease a 1999 Jimmy Descente and you'll get a his or hers Descente ski jacket and a pair of Rossignol skis and bindings.
