thanufactur1i,
GUELPH - The Ontario Corn
Producers' Association congratu-
lates the Government of Ontario
and the Minister of Agriculture,
Food and Rural Affairs, Noble
Villeneuve, for reaching a mutual-
ly beneficial $5 million financial
support agreement with Commer-
cial Alcohols Inc., delivering on a
congnitment to support ethanol
manufacturing in Ontario and se-
curing a new value-added market
for farmers.
"The agreement, supporting agri-
cultural market development and
the environment, will bring a do-
mestic ethanol industry closer to
reality, and will provide a market
for' up to 30 million bushels of On-
tario corn," said Jim Johnson, pres-
ident of the Ontario Corn Produc-
ers' Association. "Not only will
farmers, and the communities
around them, benefit from ethanol
manufacturing, but we will contin-
ue to work towards improved air
quality as part of a sustainable en-
vironment."
The agreement reached, follow-
ing an investigation of the;devel-
oping ethanol industry by former
deputy agriculture minister Dr.
Clay Switzer, requires a significant
financial contribution from the
manufacturer to research and an
ethanol environmental awareness
centre over the next ten years. Re-
tailing of ethanol -blended fuels is
continuing to grow in Ontario with
over 2.50 retail outlets now selling
the renewable fuel.
"We appreciate the strong sup-
port expressed for ethanol by
MPPs from all political Parties and
in particular the MPP for Chatham
Kent, Jack Carroll, who has
worked hard to develop this agree-
ment and fulfill the Mike Harris
commitment to the developing
ethanol industry," said Johnson.
A Sacred Trust
365 days of the year
On the farm there must be someone
here
To do the chores, feed the chop and
hay
With no exceptions even Christmas
day
We've cleaned the pens
Prepared feeds ahead
To have time to spend
With our family instead
Anxiety grows since
S Ina's been- here
We thank God for his blessings
Of health, food and good cheer.

Christmas Day
By Nicky DeBont
Grade 4, St. Boniface School
To me the most important things
about Christmas are the taste of hot
chocolate, the joy, the laughter and
Christmas carols.
Christmas is special to me be-
cause I get to spend time with my
fatuity. We give each other presents
and share presents.
Christmas is the birth of Jesus, a
time of hope and a time of joy.
