rnehts recently eonc,luded neW
agreements on farm -safety nets setting
aside at least.$A million a. year for
research and development.
This new erain farmsafety nets is
being welcomed by Ontari +} farmers,
and farm .organizations alike who stand
to gain greater control over how funds
for adaptation are distributed.
"Ontario's Agricultural Adaptation
Council (AAC) is pleased that its mem-
ber cornmodity groups have agreed in
principle' that the existing council is the.
most efficient vehicle for distribution
of the funds earmarked for research and
development," AAC chair Boger
George said in' a recent phone inter-
view. The funds Will be administered
by the AAC, but project selection will
be determined by the, various commodi-
ty groups.
The AAC was .officially formed in
January 1996. to _Dandle the ,$28 million
allotted to Ontario's agriculture and
agri-food sector over four years from
the Canadian Adaptation and Rural
Development Fund. The non-profit
coalition brings together 47 Ontario
faun and rural organizations, including
the Christian Farmers Federation of
Ontario and the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture, the provinces largest gen-
eral
eneral farm organization.
q'Agriculture and Agri ,Food Canada
and Ontario faun groups have reached
a unique agreement based on the belief
that the province's farm and rural orga-
nizations have the knowledge and abili-
ty to helpdetermine the most effective
allocation of government funds," said
George when Minister of Agriculture
Ralph Goodale. presented the first $7-
million installment.
The council will administer funding
for innovative projects designed to fos-
ter increased long term growth, self
reliance, employment and competitive-
ness for Ontario's agriculture, food and
rural communities.
George says the council is well
placed to handle the research and
development funds and ensure worth-
while projects are directed to the proper
sources of funding so that the sectors
adaptationefforts are not being dupli-
sated. "This is clearly the most efficient
way of doing business," George said.
Ken Bohill, of
Abigail's Folk Art
and Bird Houses,
reported °business
as `good" during.
his partk ipation in . .
the Craft Festival
this past weekend..
Bohill and his wife
Gail, of Fisher-
men's Cove, came.
up with the idea' of
Custom °designed
birdhouses because
"it was unique". His
granddaughter, Lisa

ton was lending, a

from page 5
"It is our job to try and
give our guests the
opportunity to try new
things," said Dimoff.
"They are the boss. It is a
bit startling for some
when they come here and
are faced with choices
because previously they
were pused to being told
what to do and when to
do it." ,
Lynda conveyed .one
last message: "I like
making choices and
being independent. I love
being ,out in nature: At
least 'here it is so peaceful
and beautiful so t just try
to be grateful and try to
cope with What the lard
has given."
