GUELPH - The Junior Farmers' Association of Ontario (JFAO) have selected the Advanced Agri- cultural Leadership Program (AALP) as their designated charity for their 1990 annual March Con- ference. Within the JFAO motto of "Self Help and Community Betterment" the membership recognizes the im- portance of training and develop- ment of rural leaders. This coin- cides with the aim of the AALP to - develop knowledgeable, capable, confident people to serve Ontario agricultural communities. AALP members learn skills in group de- velopment, communication, moti- vation and volunteer management. CO.OP It is a two-ycar program that in- cludes nine three-day seminars in various locations across Ontario, a North American Study Tour and an International Travel Experience. The annual JFAO conference is to be held this year at the Continen- tal Inn in Barrie and features their annual meeting, leadership sessions and the conference charity wrap- up. The junior farmers have had a tradition of successfully raising money for many worthwhile chari- ties with the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind receiving S30,000 last year. Members at the local level will be asking for the public's sup- port of this project in the next few months.

This seminar was sponsored by the Mid -Western Regional Council of the Ontario Association for Community Living (OACL) and the P.A.C.E. Group (Parents in Ac- tion in the County of Elgin) of St. -Thomas-Elgin A.C.L., in coopera- tion with the Ministry of Communi- ty and Social Services. The day began with sessions at 9 a.m., with facilitator Bruce Kappel and OACL president Nancy Stone. About 40 parents took part, discuss= ing the need for specific goals for their children, to be met by a com- bination of support workers, schools, health care workers, gov- ernment agencies and the commu- nity itself. Parents have been involved in most of the changes in care of the handicapped over the years - they are usually the motivating force, to which government planning bodies must respond. There must be clear- cut alternatives to the sheltered workshop system for the handi- capped children of today, even as we acknowledge the need for work- shop for the handicapped adults who spent most of the lives segre- gated. The Ontario Association for Community Living is a lobbying force for those parents. The three afternoon sessions dealt with bal- ancing family life, family network- ing and education - a lifetime of learning. Initial assessments can often be' inaccurate; and it is important to get another opinion. Parents can be an enormous asset in drawing up the case history, so careful records should be kept of the child's growth -and development. Government cutbacks in funding are becoming a reality, in some are- as, so parents will have to become Quiet week for OPP LUCAN - The Ontario Provincial Police at Lucan Detachment had a relatively quiet week with 38 gener- al investigations and only three mo- tor vehicle accidents. Most of the notable incidents occurred over the past weekend. Sometime overnight on Friday, November 24, three mailboxes were damaged in West Nissouri Town- ship. The mailboxes were smashed by being repeatedly struck. Police have no suspects at this time. There were seven alcohol-related incidents during the week, which re- sulted in eight charges being laid. Six persons were charged with Liq- uor Licence Act violations and two persons were charged for impaired driving. - There have been several tool thefts reported on Lucan OPP in the past few weeks. Most thefts have. occurred on farms where unknown persons have entered unlocked barns and/or sheds and -removed the tools. One such theft happened in London. Township on November 20. To date, scleral hundred dollars worth of .various types of tools have been stolen. ' - Police are continuing their inves- tigations in these matters and are seeking help from the public for in- formation. The month of November was Wife Assault Prevention Month in Ontario. The emphasis of this month was to make the community aware of the violence that women in the home often face and of the help which is available to them. Last week, officers from Lucan OPP investigated two domestic vio- lence complaints. This is a crime which everyone can help prevent and stop. Of the three accidents investigat- ed, only one involved injury. On Saturday, November 25 at approxi- mately 11:25 a.m., a car south- bound on Concession Road 4-5 in Biddulph twp. just north of County Road 47 driven by Tracey Johnson, 31, of RR3 Lucan, left the roadway and struck a tree. Johnson was tak- en to University Hospital and treat- ed for major injuries. increasingly innovative at develop- ing community support networks.
