The Premier's Council report of last year identified the food processing industry as a core in- dustry with growth potential. This strategy will help ensure a growing market for Ontario's raw agricultur- al prodOcts. In making the announcement re- cently with my colleague, Industry and Trade Minister Monte Kwinter, I also announced the creation of a food industry advisory committee •-which will evaluate proposed strategic initiatives. The committee, which I will co- cliair with Mr. Kwinter, will be composed of senior members of Ontario's food industry,, producers and government representatives. - One of the first initiatives to be considered by the committee is a proposal to form an Ontario food processing technical institute to offer college education, skills training, continuing education and advisory services for the food processing industry. This program would be delivered by the Ridgetown College of Agriculture Technology, possibly in co-operation with other educational institutions. It would continue some *services offered by the Ontario Centre for Farm Machinery and Food Processing Technology, such as continuing education and ad- visory services to food processors. Other strategic initiatives to be evaluated by the committee include quality products, efficient plants and processes, technological adoption and awareness. In ad- dition, skilled labor management, marketing and business planning, skilled labor, research and development, competitively priced raw products and other input costs will be considered. The creation of the food industry advisory committee is one of the most important aspects of the new strategy. It emphasizes the partner- ship between the food and beverage processing industry and government to develop programs addressing in- dustry concerns, particularly in 4 • adjusting to a changing.. trade en- Vireninent. The food and beverage prOoesSing inchiStry em -ploys 90,000 people in 1,200'establishments in the province. Sales of $1 biUion make it On.' Second largest industry, nod to transportation. The industry pur- chases raw materials, supplies and services from the farm sector and from ingredient and packaging manufacturers. Approximately $7 billion of that total is raw agricultural product. 7 Health Innovation The Ontario government, through the Profiler's Council on Health Strategy, has set up a $100 million health innovation hind to support and evaluate new ways of providing cost-effective health services and programs. The health ministry's $12 billion annual budget represents 50 per cent of the province's total expenditures. ,The government's task is to -ensure )ntarians receive a maximum value for each tax dollar spent on health services. Established in December 1987, the Premier's Council on Health Strategy draws together leading representatives of government, the medical and academic com,- munities, labor, business and con- sumers to develop a long-terrn blueprint for health and health care in this province. As part of its mandate, the 24 - member council chaired by Premier David Peterson has been asked to: - -Select health goals for Ontario and establish targets to measure progress. - -Recommend public policy initia- tives to improve the health of On- tarians, --Recommend ways to improve co- ordination and co-operation among health and health-related services. --Identify alternatives to in- stitutional care with emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention. --Encourage public participation in health planning and policy development. --Assist with planning and operation of the health innovation fund. This nibbling reflects back in higher costs Dear Editor: As a concerned citizen, I am deeply disturbed about the modern way in which the food stores are dis- playing their bulk nuts, candies and such. Over the last six weeks, I have seen children — ages from about six to 12 — filling their pocket with candies each time I have been shopping. One time I mentioned the behavior to a clerk and she reported the incident to the manager. Today, I talked to a child (about eight) and tried to explain that the candy is not to be taken without being paid for. Could plexiglass not be used along the aisles to discourage some of this? As yotiknow, the merchandise is at the ideal level for children. Yes, I see adults tasting the goodies too, and this whole thing reflects back in higher prices to cover losses. However, my biggest concern is the temptation to our young folks. They are the generation of tomorrow and it is our responsibility to guide them on a proper course. Please give this situation some action. Sincerely One who cares W. Graham Correction A story in last week's edition of The Advance -Times reports that $150 of Turnberry's new rezoning fee will be returned to the applicant if there are no challenges to the rezoning. However, $125 is the correct amount of the refund. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. DISASTROUS FIRE A disastrous fire in May of 1949 completely destroyed the H. E. Ratz Sawmill, causing an estimated damage of $15,000. Cause of the fire was unknown. About 35 years earlier the mill had also been destroyed by fire. It had been rebuilt by J. A. MacLean. Mr. Ratz had purchased it in the mid -'30s. • ••, .4 „ • . • . .
