Most of these savings will be re- alized in 1996-97. As a temporary mcasurc, to meet this fiscal year's target. the ministry identified $4.8 million in underspending in the farm tax rebate program resulting from lower-than-expected mill rates. This will not affect the com- mitment to maintain the 75 per cent farm tax rebate level for 1995. In addition. S5 million was saved from the NISA program because of lower -than -projected take-up. Included in the $13 million per- manent reductions is the cancella- tion of the $2.5 Niagara Tender Fruit Lands Program (announced last July) and the $1.5 Private Mortgage Guarantee component of the Agricultural Investment Strate- gy. In addition, $1.5 million is be- ing reduced in the Tile Drainage Loan Program, as a result of lower interest rates. The Brighton Veterinary Labora- tory will be closed, providing a sav- ings of 5300.000. The $600,000 Milk Utilization Audit program will be cancelled. The Food Service component of the Foodland Ontario program will be reduced and re- structured, saving SI million. A to- tal of 19 staff will be affected by these three reductions. the remaining $5.4 million in sav- ings will come from: • ministry administration; • field services; • reductions to financial assis- tance programs; • research administration. In addition to these operating re- ductions, approximately $1 million of savings are being achieved this fiscal year through reductions in the maintenance and repair of min- istry buildings. Nominations Invited for Conservation Awards Kate Monk Information and Education Manager EXETER - People in our com- munities do a lot for the environ- ment by taking care of their lands or by being advocates of the envi- ronment. Stewardship is part of their ethics and their every- day decisions. Each year, the Ausa- ble-Bayfield Conser- vation Authority rec- ognizes some of these conservation- ists by presenting • them with Conserva- tion Awards. If you • 1 know of an individual, family, group or organization who fits this description, you can nomi- nate them for an award. "The Conservation Awards were established in 1984 to give recog- nition to people who had done sig- nificant environmental work over a number of years. These range from individuals who have devot- ed years to such activities as con- servation farming, tree planting and improving wildlife habitat on their property to individuals or groups - not necessarily landown- ers - who have contributed time and effort to improving the envi- ronment in some meaningful way," said Kate Monk of the ABCA. Any person or organization may nominate an individual or group for a Conservation Award. A brochure describing the categories and nomination details can be obtained from the Conservation Authority Administration Office at Morrison Dam Conservation Area or by phoning 519-235-2610. The deadline for the 1995 awards nominations is November 1. The list of nominees will be reviewed by ABCA staff, after which time the Board of Directors will decide on this year's recipients. An awards presentation will take place at an ABCA meeting in early 1996. "We all benefit by what these people do for our watersheds - our communities are better places to live because of their efforts," con- cluded Monk. "By recognizing these people, we are also acknowl- edging them as good examples for other people to follow." Co-op week celebrated MISSISSAUGA - Ontario's Agricultural Cooperatives will celebrate Co-op Week from October 15-20 recognizing the important role Co-ops have played in their long history of providing quality products, re- sponsive service and a demon-' strated commitment to the community. This year's Co-op week also marks the first anniversary of Ontario Agricultural Co- operatives deciding to become part of the larger Growmark system. Today, 37 of Ontario's agricultural supply cooperative working for cooperatives in Ontario, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa. Together. these local cooperatives serve a quarter million farmers. It has been a year of financial success; the Growmark System will post sales in 1995 of ap- proximately $1.1 billion USD and Ontario Member Co-ops will share in patronage refunds of over $27 million USD on in- come of approximately $43 million USD. Membership of Ontario's cooperatives in the system gives them a strong regional supplier that is known for pro- viding high-quality products on an economical basis. It has also allowed them to enhance their tradition of exceptional service to the Province's farmers, now giving them access to a wide range of farm supplies under the FS as well as the Co-op trademarks. Ontario Growmark member cooperatives also work with UPI, a joint venture petroleum company of Growmark and Su- noco Inc., to distribute petrole- um and propane products. UPI is Ontario's premier marketer of ethanol -blended gasoline which is made using Ontario - grown corn.
