Chairperson Hugh Hicks
said he met Mounsey on the
second day of the event when
he came on site to see if he
could set up a display to raise
funds for his marathon. As a
firefighter he was also present
for the Sunday night 'noise
parade' and brought the
cruiser in for the youth to see.
"He was an excellent example
of an officer for our youth."
Having raised $700 at
Campvention, Mounsey
attended one of the evening
events to extend his thanks.
"We all enjoyed. every visit
and he made our members
feel very welcome in Blyth."
Hicks said Mounsey even
took a "few lucky people for a
short drive around the site on
his prized motorcycle".
While first thoughts of the
officer may swing towards his
love of life and sense of
humour, there was also
another side. that Dinning

tax system could be another
source of benefit to farmers.
Ontario farmers need the
same tax treatment as
competitors in other
jurisdictions. In the past, our
farmers have been
disadvantaged by such things
as the provincial retail sales
tax; land transfer tax and
property taxes.
This government frequently
expresses its wishes for
strong and sustainable rural
communities — one of the
surest ways of achieving this
will be consistent support for
the 'province's agriculture
sector. Agriculture is an
investment that will
constantly return dividends to
Ontario's economy.
We will also, be asking the

The Christmas list for the
baskets was left for later but a
motion was made to order 15
calendars.
A motion was passed to
give the stewards the balance
of the UCW's allocation.
Joan Bernard was going to
check on the Daily Bread, to
see if there was a balance
owing. Members have made
two donations so far this
year.
Mrs. Bernard read the
minutes and Mrs. Scott read

Afghanistan earlier this year,
Dinning said it was Mounsey
who knocked on his door
with the news. "It had to have
been the worst day of his life
to that point to give me the
news, but he was there to
answer the calls, to support
us. Now it's my turn to return
the favour for Brenda."
Family member Kerri
Nesbitt said that the family
has been sustained by the
support they have received in
these difficult weeks. "You
can tell the type of person
Dave was by the outpouring
of support that has come to
the family."
"Dave was rarely without a
smile. He was always
thinking of others. He will be
greatly missed but there are
memories and he left
everyone with some great
ones," said Nesbitt.

If we are to maximize farm
returns, we must invest in
scientific research that creates
better plants, new
technologies and new
techniques.
We also need to look at
research that identifies ways
for farmers to earn a fair
share of the profits in all of -
the products we produce.
We need assurances that an
adequate income will come
from farming in Ontario
through public investment at
least equivalent to that of our
competitors. The industry
will not attract the people
needed to maintain Ontario's
position as the top producing
agricultural province in
Canada.
To demonstrate a serious
commitment to agriculture in
Ontario, OFA will be looking
for a positive response to the
brief it is presenting later this
month.
The meeting was then
turned over to Connie
Goodall from the Wingham
and District Community
Living Association. She
presented a Power Point
program showing many facets
of community living. She
covered the different areas
and residencies and explained
how important it was to have
people with different needs
living in their own
communities whenever
possible.
In regards to the letter
members received, she was
interested to find any other
organizations from the
community that they might be
interested in knowing about
and circulated forms to be
completed and returned to her
office.
As lunch was being
prepared members discussed
the results of the business
meeting for those not
attending. They also held a
