Page 18 - Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, March 4, 2009 2008, a not -so -bad year according to reports BY CHERYL HEATH Clinton News -Record Staff It was a not -so -bad year. That was the news delivered to Huron - Bruce MP Ben Lobb and Huron -Bruce MPP Carol Mitchell, Saturday, during the Huron County Federation of Agriculture's annual MP/MPP luncheon held at the Betty Cardno Centre in Clinton. While giving praise to both members of parliament for government programs, like the province's investment in Buy Local strategies and the federal govern- ment's replacement of the unpopular Canadian Agriculture Income Stabilization (CAIS) program, there proved to be still a number of issues on the hotplate for both levels of government. Winter can be stressful for seniors For many, winter conjures up images of sleigh rides over fields of sparkling snow, skating on a glittering outdoor ice rink on a sunny afternoon or simply enjoying a walk on a crisp, clear night t to savour the fresh air and winter quiet. But for some people, slippery walkways and roads, hazardous driving conditions, hypothermia from the cold and social isolation can turn winter into a stressful time of year. Reducing your vulnerability- will help you to have a happier and healthier win- ter. To reduce the risk of falls due to Win- ter conditions, be sure to wear winter clothing and boots that are both light weight and properly fit- ting. Be sure your vision and freedom. of movement are not ham- pered. If you use a cane or a walker, a spe- cial spiked device is available to put at the base, in order to give a better footing and reduce slipping. Also consider using a taxi, pub- lic transportation �r car pools. Maintain a comfortable temperature in your home (minimum of 20°C). Enlist the help of family member, friend or student to help keep your out- side steps and sidewalks clear of ice and snow. Offer the use of your home for a meet- ing of your clubs or groups during the winter months.

While Lobb had to leave the meeting early for a family funeral, Mitchell found company in other politicians including Huron County Warden Ken Oke, Bluewater Mayor 13ill Dowson, Ashfield- Colborne-Wawanosh Reeve Ben Van Diepenbeek and Huron East Mayor Joe Seili, Howick Reeve Max Dema.rry and Morris Turnberry Mayor Dorothy Kelly, among others. In addressing the roundtable, Huron Bruce's MP notes he has had the opportu- nity to meet with both farmers and ag groups since being elected in late 2008. In praising the Conservatives' Jan. 27 budget announcement, Lobb says, there is now an "economic -action plan" in place that will benefit all engines driving the economy. Lobb points to the federal .govern- ment's recent changes to the navigable waters act as an example of his govern- ment's commitment to removing barriers to development. Lobb notes the ruling will aid a lot of farmers who have had to grapple with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, along with the Ministry of Natural Resources, while undertaking simple projects along drains, culverts and streams. As it stood, if an area held water for 10 days, it fell under the feds' juris- diction. "This isn't to cut corners environmen- tally. This is a common-sense solution to a problem," says Lobb.. Lobb also points to the government's $50 -million investment J in increasing slaughter -house capacity and funding for AgriFlex as two positive moves for agri- culture. "These are difficult times but there is definitely some silver lining in the clouds," he says. Farmers needed HCFA president Wayne Black says one pressing question facing farmers is how best to draw new faces into the fields. Black, citing statistics that reveal the average farmer is 52, urged the govern- ments to look at strategies that will allow young people to take up the vocation. Part of .the problem, says Black, is the banks refuse to lend money to upstarts since they lack a history and ag-support programs don't help them either because they lack a record of yields. Other barriers, notes Black, include high capital costs and increasing "attacks from various Network Classifieds.: Advertise Across Ontario or Across the Cowntryt. 1111.111111111111111111 AZ TEAM NEEDED! $0.52 per file benefits, limited dedicated Canada and US runs based out of Kitchener & Blenheim.
