EXETER - 235-2420 GRAND BEND - 238-8484 CLINTON - 482-3401 TIMES -ADVOCATE OFA elects leaders TORONTO - The annual convention of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) wrapped up last week after going through everything from restruc- turing the governance structure to electing leadership for the com- ing year. Geri Kamenz was acclaimed president of the OFA for a second term and vice-presidents Bette Jean Crews of Northumberland County and Don McCabe of Lambton County were elected. The inaugural meeting of the OFA board of directors on Nov. 21 also elected four executive committee members - Wendy Omvlee of Haldimand County; Debra Pretty-Straathof of Arnprior Region; Terry Otto of Ottawa Region; and Mark Wales of Elgin County, the newest executive mem- ber. Kevin Stewart, host of television's AgVision, outlined details of an Agriculture Awareness program he is develop- ing, intended to help consumers understand the benefits of modern agriculture. Ontario's Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Hon. Leona Dombrowsky, told the convention's 450 del- egates and guests her government "intends to continue to work closely with this industry (agri- culture)." Speaking on a panel, former Ontario Premier Bob Rae told delegates "In order for the farm lobby to succeed in Canada, it has to make a common cause with oth- ers who are concerned about what is going on." Former OMAFRA Minister Helen Johns, on the same panel, said "We need to have our own food production; we need to have our own farmers, and we need to have our own rural com- munities." Bob Friesen, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, discussing food labeling issues, said "consumers deserve to have the information they need to make choic- es."
