Brinsley 4H meeting
By Jennifer Hodgson
BRINSLEY - On Tuesday, Feb-
ruary 25, the Brinsley 4-H club
held their third meeting at the Brin-
sley United Church, beginning the
meeting with the 4-H pledge.
President Julie Jones then talked
about the roll call which was
"When was your house built and
what do you heat it with". They
then talked about their homework
which was to test if your house has
drafts and leaks.
Junior leader Tara Conlin then
talked to us about "Saving Energy".
A guest speaker, Iva Amos, came
to talk to us about recycling and
what it has done to our community.
She told the club that "every little
bit helps" and all should work to-
gether to ensure our future. The
group then had a snack which was
prepared by Tara and Anne Conlin
and a drink prepared by Ten Press.
Angela and Jennifer Hodgson
and Jennifer Dright are to bring the
snack and drink to next week's
meeting. The meeting ended at
7:00.
Buchanan welcomes
federal ethanol initiative
TORONTO - Ontario Agriculture
and Food Minister, Elmer Bucha-
nan, last week expressed support
for the federal government's budget
initiative to remove the excise tax
on fuel ethanol. "The removal of
the excise tax on fuel ethanol is a
boost to the ethanol industry and
the producers of raw materials used
in its production," said Buchanan.
"I have been encouraging the fed-
eral government to provide this ex-
emption since becoming Minister
of Agriculture and Food, and I was
pleased to see it in the federal bud-
get."
Buchanan also re-inforced his
commitment to co-operate with the
T
ethanol industry to explore ways of
developing an ethanol system that
provides enhanced markets for
farmers' crops, supports rural devel-
opment and offers a renewable en-
ergy source.
"We want to bring all parties to-
gether to create a viable ethanol
system in Ontario. We hope to
work with the private sector to
achieve this through innovative
production, distribution and mar-
keting," Buchanan said. "The Min-
istry of Agriculture and Food is
moving ahead in examining pilot
demonstration projects on these in-
novative strategies.*
