259 Cards of Thanks
WEBB - Thank you to all our
family, friends, neighbours and
former patients who have
helped us in some way since
the unexpected loss of Dr.
Gerald A. Webb. We have had
confirmed how very special
our husband, dad and grandpa
really was. The support
shown, memories shared,
phone calls, cards, e-mails, flo-
ral tributes, food, memorial
donations and many acts of
kindness have truly assisted us
in moving through this difficult
time. A special thank you to
Hoffman's Funeral Home in
assisting us in all the difficult
decisions and details of bring-
ing Gerald home. Thank you
is not enough to Debby Fraser
and Shawn McFalls for their
memories and to the pallbear-
ers for their support. Thank
you as well to Rev. Paul Ross
for the service and the ladies of
the Exeter United Church for a
special luncheon. Lois, Jim,

2007 tax deferrals available
OWEN SOUND — Owners of
breeding livestock in certain areas
of southern, eastern and northwest
Ontario who were forced to sell all
or part of their herd in 2007 due to
drought conditions will be eligible
for a one-year tax
deferral on 2007
income from these
sales.
The announcement
was made by Guy
Lauzon,
Parliamentary
Secretary to the
Minister of
Agriculture and Agri -
Food and Minister for
the Federal Economic Development
Initiative for Northern Ontario, who
made the announcement on behalf
of Minister of Agriculture and Agri -
Food and Minister for the Canadian
Wheat Board Gerry Ritz.
The deferral
made after
reviewing fo
yield, precipi
soil moistur
water suppl
for the 200
growing sea
"This government understands
the ongoing impact drought has on
farmers, which is why Ontario
farmers struggling with drought
will continue to receive support
from the government of Canada
through our tax deferral pro-
gram," said Lauzon. "Tax
provisions offered by this
program will allow farmers
to restock their herds in the
spring."
The deferral was made
after reviewing forage yield,
precipitation, soil moisture
and water supply data for
the 2007 growing season. In
the case of consecutive years
of drought designation, producers
may defer sales income to the first
year in which the area is no longer
designated.
"Over the years farmers in
Ontario and across Canada have

son.
shown their continued resilience in
facing bad weather challenges,"
said Minister of Finance Jim
Flaherty.
Thirty per cent of income from net
sales can be deferred if the breed-
ing herd has been reduced by at
least 15 per cent, but less than 30
per cent. Where the herd has been
reduced by 30 per cent or more, 90
per cent of income from net sales
can be deferred. This will help
replenish breeding stock in the
coming year.
Eligible producers will be able to
request this deferral when filing
their 2007 income tax returns.
Livestock producers are advised to
contact their local Canada Revenue
Agency Tax Services Office for
details on the income tax provi-
sions.
Seven steps to personal success
How do successful peo-
ple get that way?
Whether it is in their
working careers or per-
sonal pursuits, people who
achieve success have cer-
tain characteristics in
common. It starts with
self-esteem and confi-
dence in your ability.
Learn the habit of success
step-by-step:
Step I
Expect success. A posi-
tive mental attitude pro-
duces positive results. By
contrast, if you believe you
will fail you probably will.
Step 2
Have a plan. See your
goal clearly and chart a
course for reaching
it–whether it's something
you want to gain in six
months or six years. By
staying focused on that
target your priorities
along the way should
become obvious.
Step 3
Go the extra mile.
When you do your best
and give more than is
asked of you, you will usu-
ally benefit in return.
Step 4
Profit from defeat. You
won't master your under-
takings without making a
few mistakes along the
way. Coping with failure
builds strength, confi-
dence and wisdom. If you
learn from it and refuse to
give up, every defeat can
be a step toward success.
Step 5
Accept responsibility.
Only you are accountable
for your actions and your
future. Welcoming
responsibility and chal-
lenge is an indication of
your ability and self-
esteem.
Step 6
Welcome new ideas.
Change is a certainty and
new ideas are the seeds of
progress. By accepting
change and respecting the
opinions of others you
can't help but grow and
succeed.
Step 7
Keep physically fit. It
takes energy to succeed.
Don't underestimate the
power of exercise, good
nutrition and relaxation to
maintain your strength
and enjoy the journey to
success.
