Farmers in Central Ontario af- fected by the May 31 tornado can apply for loans to cover the cost of rebuilding and replacing assets that were damaged by the tornado. The program is intended to make up the difference between the -cost of rebuilding and money available from both insurance and the Disaster Relief Fund. About 200 farmers suffered damage from the tornado, with half of them sustaining losses serious enough to disrupt their day-to-day operations of their farms. Farmers can obtain application forms and assistance in completing he forms from Ministry of Agriculture and Food offices in areas affected by the storm. The affected areas include Wellington, Bruce, Grey, Dufferin, South Simcoe, Vic- toria, Perth, Peterborough and Hastings counties as well as the regional municipalities of Durham and York. Loans from chartered banks, trust companies and the credit unions will be made available at prime lending rates. These loans will be guaranteed by the Province of Ontario. Loans will also be available from the Farm Credit Corporation at its five-year rate. Borrowers pay six percent in- teres! for five years, with an ad- ditional one percent added each subsequent year until the 10-year maximum repayment period ends. The maximum repayment period for inventory loss is three years. Sherk damage claim needs a respondent by MURRAY MOORE Don Sherk has to decide who is a fault before thinking about taking steps to cover his losses in connection with his company's contract to do work in the Stollar subdivision, a spokesman said last Friday. Sherk's construction company has a contract with Beamish Construction to do work in the west end Midland subdivision owned by Jack Stollar of Barrie. Town of Midland in August ordered work in the subdivision to stop until Stollar met a requirement of the town. The immediate result was a writ of claim for damages by Stollar against the town. The secondary effect was that while the work was stopped, Sherk Con- struction's resources allocated to that job were idle but unable to go elsewhere. Sherk subsequently told this newspaper that the fault was either the town's or Stollar's. However, before the work resumed, after two stoppages, Sherk notified Beamish Construetion that he was going to submit a bill. During this period Stollar told a reporter that his opinion was that Sherk would have a strong claim and 'hat he would not blame Sherk for asking for compensation. Sherk played a role in the negotiation that led to the town council lifting the stop work order, by carrying a message from Stollar to the town that the town would get what it demanded, a letter of credit, once the stop work order was lifted. Stollar explained that he gave the letter of credit, which he had in his possession for some time, to Beamish Construction's manager, as a favour, after Beamish was notified that a claim' would be forthcoming from Sherk Construction. Beamish Con- struction delivered the letter to the town's commissioner of works. Although a Midland alderman, Sherk maintains that he has been acting as a businessman protecting his company. As a councillor he has not taken part in council discussion of, or voting related to, he dispute with Stollar. As a councillor he has declared a conflic! of interest whenever the matter arose.
