(Jim Brown photo) Continued from page 1 global markets allowing them to make enough money to overcome the financial hardships facing the agricultural sector. “The system is broken,” he said. “Farmers shouldn’t have to work off the farm to make ends meet.” Aside from labeling and equal regulations, the assembled agricultural interests stated that the major issues included the possibility of a working risk management plan, the long gun registry, and Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). Lorne Underwood, a representative of the Bruce Federation of Agriculture, for example, stated that the proposed long gun registry plan should be scrapped, and that the current system be revamped to address the needs that are being brought forward by law enforcement individuals. Marston, who was taking notes to bring the desires and concerns of the group to Layton, answered by saying that he himself would support the long gun registry, but in a different form than it is currently being proposed in its legislature. “We need to have a balanced curriculum between rural and urban needs,” he said. “Why criminalize a farmer for protecting his livelihood, it doesn’t make sense?” Gordon Hill, a former NDP candidate from Huron-Bruce, spoke to both Marston and Robertson, stating that he was unhappy with the direction that the party was taking. “The long gun registry plan is going to survive thanks to the NDP,” he said. “It’s going to survive and it disturbs me that [anyone who would stand against it will have] their hands tied thanks to the way it is being handled.” Hill went on to say that the NDP was not serving hunters and farmers with the decision, and that any support from law agencies comes from administration, not from the actual officers. “This useless, expensive piece of legislation is going to survive thanks to the NDP,” he said. “Officers are not in favour of it, chiefs of police endorse it, and it bothers me that [the NDP is] going to save it to the detriment of hunters and farmers.” Marston responded by saying that, while the long gun registry does have support, it needs to be altered before it should be implemented. “It shouldn’t cost Canadians anything to register their long rifles, and it shouldn’t criminzalize Canadians,” he said. The assembled agricultural representatives were also nearly uniformly concerned about wind turbines. Worries ranged from health concerns that are reportedly associated with wind turbines to the loss of valuable agricultural land for the industrial turbines being constructed across Canada. Marston stated that in his home riding they have “The Greenbelt,” a tract of protected land that is home to large parcels of agricultural land and wineries, and that same protection should be extended to agriculture lands. “Turbines should not be placed on productive agricultural lands,” he stated.” Farmer Paul Klopp broached a new subject late in the meeting — legislature to help smaller farmers stay in the race against large corporation-owned farms. “We can talk about protecting the lands and making our products worth more, but why? So the multinationals can have it after we’ve cared for it?” Klopp asked. “We need real caps placed on real acreage against real costs.” Robertson ended the meeting stating that food is something that he plans on focusing on in his campaign. “Food is the universal issue,” he said. “Our current food system makes nutritious food hard to get, expensive and out of reach and makes junk food cheap and accessible, and we need to change that.” Layton absent for roundtable Thirteen members and three guests were present at the Auburn Community Hall for the Sept. 16 meeting. President Erma Cartwright opened the meeting with the Ode, Mary Stewart Collect and O Canada. Following this she gave a reading, “The Radio”. Information regarding the 96th London Area Women’s Institute Convention on Oct. 14 at the Holmesville Community Centre was dealt with as well as the Huron Perth County Rally on Oct. 4 at Gorrie United Church on Albert St. Donations to the Hospital Radiothon Fundraiser on Oct. 16 were approved to Clinton, Goderich, Seaforth and Wingham Hospitals. Six members from Auburn attended the installation of officers of the new Women’s Institute Branch at the home of Sandy McCullen, north of Goderich on Sept. 14. Phyllis Durst introduced guest speaker, Sandra Billson of Goderich. “Relationships and our Habits” was well received. She stated people are driven by their genes to satisfy five basic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom and fun. In practice, the most important need is love and belonging. Seven Caring Habits are supporting, encouraging, listening, accepting, trusting, respecting, and negotiating differences. The only person whose behaviour we can control is ourself, she said. A delicious lunch of cheesecakes were served by hostesses Marita and Erma. Auburn WI meets The Sept. meeting of the Melville Guild and Women’s Missionary Society was held at the home of Jeanne Kirkby on Tuesday, Sept. 15 with nine members and two guests present.
