Teens debate family farm financing
A great debate raged at F. E.
Madill Secondary School in Wing
ham last Thursday as students
from 11 secondary schools com
peted in the Snowbelt Regional
debating finals.
Judging representatives from
the farm community, Centralia
College, the field of education and
the media, adjudicated as about 40
young people offered data and
sound reasoning to support their
arguments on whether or not
government policy should favour
the family farm. In the first two
rounds of debate each student has
appeared before six different
judges so when the ratings are
evaluated a good assessment of the
debater’s abilities has been reach
ed.
This year’s participants were
from: Central Huron Secondary
School in Clinton, John Diefen
baker Secondary School in Han
over, Goderich District Collegiate
Institute, F. E. Madill Secondary
School, Mitchell District Secondary
School, Sacred Heart High School
in Walkerton, St. Michael’s Secon
dary School in Stratford, Seaforth
District High School, South Huron
Secondary School in Exeter, and
Stratford Central Secondary School
and Stratford Northwestern Secon
dary School.
Just after lunch, students regis
tered and were told who their
partner would be for the debate
and what side they would be
debating. They were then given
brief time to prepare and the
cross-examination round began at
1:30. The results were tallied and
pairing and preparation was com
pleted for the parliamentary round.
Eight finalists were then selected
to compete in the impromptu
debates.
From these five students were
chosen to compete in the Provincial
finals in Hamilton in April. The
issues for the cross-exam and
partliamentary rounds are:
“Should the chief executive offi
cers of Canadian industry that
pollute the Great Lakes be subject
to mandatory imprisonment?” and
“Should the onus for cleaning up
the Great Lakes be on industry
rather than government.” The five
students to participate in this
competition are: Ben Barnes, F. E.
Madill; Sarah Brophy, F. E.
Madill; Chris Veysey, CHSS; Lilian
Shaer, JDSS; and Laura Cook,
SHDSS.
The top school of the day was F.
