These funds were payment for the recreation property (baseball and soccer) located beside the Legion. , By MPP Jack Riddell In a move to protect farmers and the environment, my colleague On- tario Environment Minister Jim Bradley and I, as Minister of Agriculture and Food, plan to in- troduce a five-year pesticide educa- tion program. The $692,000 program is aimed at improved care and handling of pesticides used in agricultural production. The first part of the program, to begin early next year, is an education program for vendors of agricultural pesticides at the wholesale and retail level. With this announcement we have the structure to develop education programs for the future. The govern- ment wants to ensure that those who handle the chemicals on a regular basis can do so with confidence and /safety. We are also concerned that the products will be used in the manner intended without posing any undue risks- to the individual or the environment. s. Defends rights Ontario was the only province at the First Ministers' Conference to take a tough stand to protect Canadian natural resources.. Premier David Peterson said the federal government and the other provinces are setting a dangerous precedent by trying to strike a deal on U.S. softwood lumber tariffs instead of fighting the protec- Educate tionist U.S. action through the courts. Premier Peterson said the suppos- ed deal with the U.S. as an attempt to pacify the Americans is likely to backfire. If we let the Americans dic- tate our policy on softwood lumber, we leave ourselves open to the same kind of tactic on minerals, hydro, and possibly oil and gas. "What's at stake in the softwood lumber issue," said Premier Peter- son, "is nothing less than whether Canadian resource policies should be dictated by U.S. interests, or decided by the Canadian people." Genealogical grant The Huron County Genealogical Society has just been given a $2,000 grant from Citizenship and Culture to assist in publishing a history book of the genealogy of Goderich Township families. The announcement was made by my colleague, the Honourable Lily Munroe. • Order of Ontario As announced in the Speech from the Throne last April, a new award known as the Order of bntario has been established for the purpose of recognizing excellence and achieve- ment of the highest degree in com- munity leadership, volunteer service, business, industry and labour, the professions and other occupations, research, culture, the arts and other fields of endeavour. You undoubedly have seen notices in newspapers about this award, and I would urge any person or organiza- tion who wishes to nominate a resi- dent of the province of Ontario to con- tact my riding office for further infor- mation and for nomination forms. Health review panel On October' 24, Premier Peterson announced the formation of the On- tario Health Review Panel, the first phase of which has begun and which will' be an overview to identify key issues in health care, set priorities and recommend a process for developing solutions.

The Soviet air force is flying lon range bombers, armed with ail launched, nuclear cruise missiles, 125 miles off Canada's coast. Meanwhile, the Liberal Party of Canada has passed resolutions to ban the testing of US unarmed- air - launched cruise missiles in Canada and declaring our country a "nuclear weapons free zone". (This, incidental- ly, would force Canada to withdraw from NATO and desert our traditional allies if it were ever adopted as policy. it's a pity the Afghans didn't think of declaring their country a "Soviet Red Army -free zone". What can one say about the Liberals' - and the NDP's - foreign and defence policies? Those whom gods would destroy, they first make mad.

Times -Advocate, December 10, 1986 Page 11A Seek views on farina After consultations with the farm community, Agriculture Minister John Wise has -released a document seeking the views of farm families on the social and economic issues affec- ting the future of the family farm. In releasing the document -- called Agenda for Discussion -- Wise said that more than 300 farm families, farm organizations and others were approached for their views during the past year. The process ensures the agenda reflects the real concerns and priorities of the farming community The agenda marks phase one of Family Farm Focus, an initiative outlined June 4, 1986. "While the discussions we had with the farm community took time, the result is a document that will survey the broad range.of issues farmers themselves have idegtified," the Minister said. Family Farm Forum grew out of discussions Mr. Wise had a year ago at the second National Farm Women's Conference in Charlot- tetown. Delegates stressed the need for more effective partnerships bet- ween government and the farming community. "From our discussions so far, general agreement has been reached that Family Farm Forum has to take into consideration the financial crisis facing many farm families today. Farm women's organizations told us that rising debt, interest rates and fluctuations in commodity prices are central 'social' issues."
