Farmers Helpline moves
to county & district offices
The Farmers Helpline service,
provided by Ontario’s Ministry of
Agriculture and Food, is now
available at the ministry’s local
county and district offices through
out the province.
Since 1985, the Farmers Help
line has provided assistance and
referral services to many clients
through a central office and a
helpline telephone number. Farm
ers may now contact their local
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and
Food office directly for the helpline
service.
Along with this service, the
ministry also provides the Farm

thought the schools had never been
in better shape. “I am proud of our
schools and I would not see them
fall down around me. But, they’re
not going to,” he said.
Mr. Wilson said, “We are
talking about priorities. The roofs
are not going to fall down. We can
cut back and maintain our priori
ties. If I can’t afford to paint my
house I put it off until next year.”
Trustee Jim Chapman of Exeter
made an amendment to the motion
saying that it should be targeted for
10 per cent or moving towards that
amount.
Chair Joan Van den Broeck also
voiced her opposition to the
motion, saying that in view of the
provincial government costs and
the Board’s “laudable attempts”
to build several additions last year
she feels the drop in expenditures
would be a detriment. “I, as a
parent and trustee don’t want an
increase, but we have to face
reality,” Mrs. Van den Broeck
stated. “Can we retaliate against
the province by hurting our schools
and our students? I’m asking you to
reconsider the motion and make
another in keeping with the goals
that have been established by this
board and not one that will work to
our detriment.”
“I am against it in the sense that
it leaves the administration with
the task of cutting,” said Morris-
Turnberry Trustee Brian Jeffray.
“I would prefer the committees
look at how to cut spending so
everyone can participate.”
Goderich Trustee Norm Pickell
however, felt that the work should
be left to the administration as they
are “the experts and can do the

Advisors are knowledgeable and

peer counselling. On request, ad

farmers identify problems and
develop action plans to help solve
them. Farm Family Advisors also
have access to other professional

confidentiality, advisors are ap

“Everyone here would like to
pass everything in this budget,”
said Graeme Craig, Trustee for
Seaforth and McKillop, “but there
comes a time when we have to say
no.”
The amended motion was passed
13-3.
Mr. Allan then informed the
trustees that they did have a legal
requirement to have the budget in
place by May 4.
“We should not have allowed
ourselves to get in this situation,”
stated Mr. Jewitt. “We’ve got a
gun to our head”.
Mr. Allan then said they would
see about getting an indulgence so
that the trustees could look at the
new budget at the regular meeting
on Monday.
