Questions .value of bylaws
for building permits:.
Dear editor:.
RE Value of bylaws
for building permits tin
Ashfield and other town
ships
There is a move in
Ontario to limit livestock
production by having
townships pass bylaws to
put restrictions onbuild
ing permits. There are
numerous opinions to why
these bylaws are being
proposed, •One'. suggestion
is, - insure wise' use of
manure, and to prevent
problems from happening
as occurred In ,parts of the
Y.J.S. Some ..believe it is
jealousy among 'neigh-
bors. Others feel it is rival-
ry between livestock pro-
ducers' and cash croppers
for land. .'
As a lifelong extension
person, I': believe we will
have wiser : manureuse
and. a stronger Ontario,,
agriculture through educa-
tion than through legisla-
-tion
I feel uneasy about
these bylaws because they
pit fanner against .farmer •
Ontario agriculture has a
history.. of farmers .work-
ing ' together to achieve
common goals The pre
sent bylaws are certainly:
• not doing anything to
bring farmerstogether in
anyway.
Ontario's agriculture' is
very very :much, based on
livestock industry: We
cannot compete, with;
Western Canada' or -the
-U.S. corn belt for grain
production. But the
Ontario cash croppers can
help support the Ontario
livestock industry:'
Currently about 60 per
cent of Ontario's corn goes
td the livestock . industry.
As 'does much of our soy
bean production.
This still brings 'the,
issue of manure: It can be
valuable resource. It can
be used on cash crop .
farms. There are many
farmers doing a tremen
dous job . 'of applying
manure Ii,!'a wise and envi
ronmental manner.
From a personal point,
I have worked with a num-
ber of farmers in the past
few years developing and -----
implementing manure
management programs. In
fact 1 know where, there is
co-operation- between
livestock and cash 'crop
farms for manure use on.

•uestion time•change
of hospital board meet.mg
To the editor and citizens of Wingham and
District Hospital community:
We attended the regular scheduled 8
• p.m. open board meeting of the Winghani-
and District Hospital oiriVlay 1, 1997.
Unfortunately the open meeting started at
7:30 p.m. with no prior notice to the pub-
lic.
Who was responsible for the change of
time without advance notice to the gener-
al public? The`Board's actions should be a
concern to the general public of the hospi-
tal area:
At 8:10 .p.m: we 'realized the board
meeting was in progress and .not the 7;30
p.m: education meeting.. By this time the
CEO's report had been given.. Needless to
say we were disgusted by the decision to •
. , .
havethe meeting start early.
In an editorial: in the Kitchener Record
on Saturday, May 5, 1997.it stated, "The
hospitals in . Kitchener, are not just facing
financial problems,' they, arealso facing
leadership problems.
We urge: you to attend the annual 'hos-
pital meeting on Thursday, June 19; 1997
at 8 . p.m: and buy a $5 membership. by
June 4,, 1997 in order to vote for new
board members that will represent you in
:making good sound _decisions in the man-
agement of our hospital. Let us remember
the patient should ' come first. Without
patients we would not need a hospital!
Yours truly,
Lorna Cook, Mary,rocter,
Margaret Black, Janet Reid:
