County
council puts
little value
on people's
lives
The, decision to pursue amalgamating
'Seoforth and Clinton's ambulance stations
Shows how tittle our county politicians value
The .county assumes control of ambulance
•services following provinciol downloading that
takes effect this sanuory. -
As a result: the county hired consultants to
come up with several optionsfor how to
hQndle.the ombulance service and despite a
strong case mode by the . medical community
octossThe.coun1y., voted to proceed with o.
costing on one that sees .the service moved out
of o populated area too rural iocot-ion'
-tie medical community and Seaforth council
hove argued that this generally increases
response tirnes because most cads come from
within the more'' densely populated area or
.involve the hospital
greater number of lives will now face an
even greater risk vrith longer response times
when heart attacks or=other emergencies
occur,
it's sad 10. think how little value is being
placed on our. fives in this decision with Brite
discussion about that issue even taking pace.
Only Seoforth reeve lin Steffler and
Tuckersmith Township reeve Bob Broodfoot
opposed county councils decision.
And the total hospital is willing to remove the
finvnciol burden of building a new station by
paying for the construction if it was built at the
Seaforth Community Hospital
"''he arnbulonce service has not been moved
out of town yet and there's stip time to protest
People need to send o strong message to.
-Coon y c oricit that our lives -are worth more

Ed McLean
Action needed to attraf `young to farming
By Lisa Alderman.
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture Executive
Committee Member
As the average age of
farmers craps- higher and
higher. a need for action to
attract younger people
into the •business of
farming has been
recognized and acted upon
by the Junior . Farmer
Association of Ontario
through their new
program. The Ontario
Young Farmers' Forum:
Earlier this year five
Young Farmer Forums
province. co-sponsored*
were held across -
the Junior Farmers. local
Federations • of
Agriculture. and other
farm organizations. As co-
ordinator of the forums. I
was encouraged to see the
high level of interest by
both participants
and sponsors. •
More than 200 young
people, many of them
already in the farming
business with parents or
otherpartners,
participated in the day-
long programs where
everything from
agricultural technical
information tothe role
-farm organisations have to
pisy w the industry were
discussed.
Workshops"were a key
part of each forum.
following the
presentations by guest
speakers like OFA's
General Manager. Neil
Currie. andOMAFRA's
Bob Seguin. During Me
workshops, participants
were encouraged to
examine their potential
roles not only as farmers.
but as leaders in
agriculture's political
world.
Other topics- at the
forums included
succession planning. the
environment. and the
long-term sustainability of
the agricultural industry. ,.
The forums also
provided the young
farmers attending an
opportunity to establish
networks of
communication for
information sharing. not
only as farmers. but as
potential future leaders in
the agricultural
community.
The Ontario Federation
of Agriculture recognized
the importance of
including tomorrows
farmers and farm leaders
several years ago when a
special session was pan of
ival convention.
directors saw. some
me results of this year's
forums at their June board
meeting when four
resolutions • were
submitted by the' Junior
Farmer's Association of
Ontario.
As the Junior Farmer
representative on the OFA
Board. I was -delighted to
-find strong support for the
resolutions coming from
the Young
Farmer forums. -
.The resolutions called
on OFA to lobby for the
establishment of programs
aimed at helping young-
farmers enter the farming
business: help with
financing in a capital
intensive industry.
OFA was also asked to
-make the issues of
succession planning and,
establishment programs
for beginning farmers a
high priority within the
organization.
Another resolution
asked OFA to lobby
provincial and federal
governments to enact a
comprehensive agriculture
policy that emphasizes a
commitment to a viable -
agriculture industry.
Recognizing the wide
variation .in regulation's
pertaining to agriculture
and the environment, the
Young Farmers also called
on OFA to lobby the
provincial government to
develop and enforce
province -wide regulations
for such things as nutrient
management and livestock
operations with regards to
location and size. -
OFA's Board of
Directors approved the
resolutions and now the
organization will start to
incorporate the priorities
of Young Farmers into
OFA policy, and to meet
the objectives identified.
As a member of the
OFA executive committee.
1 am encouraged to see the
support this organization
is prepared to provide to
the next generation of
farmers. Working together
with an inter -generational
approach to agricultural
"issues will enable the OFA
to meet the needs of all its
members: now an into the
future.
Young people with new
ideas and enthusiasm are
essential for a farming
industry that's going.to
survive and thrive.
