TIMES—ADVOCATE

CLASSIFIE CLASSIFIE. CLASSIFIE^
Prospects good, says OFA president
By Pat Bolen
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
SEAFORTH — "We're lucky we are
farmers and you couldn't always say
that," said Ontario Federation Of
Agriculture (OFA) president Geri
Kamenz at the annual Huron County
Federation of Agriculture (HCFA)
meeting in Seaforth Oct. 23.
Kamenz told those in attendance
that while he knows the realities they
are facing, "the prospects look good,"
for farmers and "the glass is half
full."
Kamenz said the size and scope of
Huron County is never lost on him.
Some of the issues Kamenz talked
about included the OFA lobbying for
an agriculture minister to be appoint-
ed from Ontario since there are
provinces that pale compared to
Huron County.
Kamenz emphasized that producers
"better know what their cost of pro-
duction is, otherwise you won't know
when to pull the trigger and you
won't know if you did a better job
than last year."
He compared the situation for farm-
ers to the manufacturing sector and
said farm values are up and the num-
ber of tractors sold in Huron County
rose by more than 50 per cent this
year.
"Look at the plants closing in every
direction," said Kamenz.
While farm income is always an
issue, Kamenz said, "to approach (the
government) for money is a tough sell
when your neighbours don't have a
job."
While the agricultural sector may
not get financial security, said
Kamenz, it may be more effective in
pushing environmental issues.
Kamenz said the question has been
asked of Ontario Premier Dalton
McGuinty as to whether farmers will
have to pay for environmental legisla-
tion and that "his intention is that the
public will pay."
Kamenz said the last round of clean
water legislation had 200 pages and
that there are "always unforeseen
consequences...we can't pay the
freight. I think he's there."
Kamenz added that he feels Ontario
and Quebec farmers are similar and if
they can work together, "we can
determine agricultural policy in this
country. Collectively we'll be better
off."
Also speaking at the meeting was
Grade 10 student Megan Schlorff
from Walkerton on her gold medal
winning presentation from the
Canada Science Fair.
Schlorff described her "Let the River
Flow" project that tested water quali-
ty around Hanover and said she
became interested in the topic
because of the Walkerton water cri-
sis.
Schlorff tested 50 water wells as
well as 30 sites in the Saugeen and
Pine Rivers for nitrates and E.coli
bacteria.
She also sent surveys to 1,000 resi-
dents on their use of pharmaceuticals
and personal care products and how
they dispose of them.
Schlorff said all her river tests
showed some forms of contamination
but the well testing showed results
below the standards.
SHDHS junior girls basketball team playing strongly
EXETER — The South Huron District High School
Panthers Junior Girls basketball team had another
great day on Oct. 22 when they traveled to
Wingham for two league games against the
Central Huron Redmen and the F.E. Madill
Mustangs.
The Central Huron game was close as the
Redmen would not go quietly staying within
two points of the Panthers until the last
minute of the 38 - 33 Panther win.
Panther's coach Russ Watson believes the
long wait before their game contributed to the
Panthers' slow start offensively as they could only
muster 16 points in the first half.
The defense continued to play strong however as several
of the ladies combined to limit the Reclmen's best top scor-
ers.
The Panthers came out much stronger against Madill
notching a convincing 48 to 19 win.
The defense continued to be the difference
as every Panther fought tenaciously for
possession of the ball, throwing the
Mustang's top three scorers completely
off their game.
Offensively the leading Panther scorers
on the day were Taelor Douglas with 26,
Chelsea Brintnell with 18, Jaemi Douglas
with 14 and Gina Phouttharath with 10
points.
The Panthers, whose record is now 7-3 can
guarantee themselves a fourth place finish and
have an outside shot at third place in the Huron Perth
standings with a win in their final regular season game
against Listowel next Wednesday.
