Junior Farmers to celebrate 50th anniversar next week Sheldon loses bid for rural review A request for a local com to look into the region Rural Development Policy Review on an ongoing basis turned into a volley of verbal innuendoes and accusations at Hills council last week Ward Two councillor Sheldon said she would like to see a committee set up to look into the regional paper She told her colleagues she felt the region was not getting back to the local tier of government as efficiently as they could be and a committee would help councillors get the feedback they need regarding issue She suggested the two councillors and staff on the Regional Councillor Dave Whiting said another committee was fine if the rural councillors had nothing better do How ever he felt they were being to death and did not feel another committee of council to study rural needs was necessary Whiting staff has no time to be always sitting in on committee meetings with councillors and felt anything to be discussed could be done around the council table Councillor Mike Armstrong pointed out that new regional councillor Jake Kuiken was there to keep Hills In formed of regional matters Kuiken also noted the policy is being handled at the regional four times before it is passed and contended we know what Is happening Sheldon retorted she is get ting a bit tired of staff doing everything that is extremely important and feels a lot of stuff does not come out when sitting around the council table If Councillors Whiting and Armstrong do not feel the policy review is important enough that s fine I do If the regional councillors are not interested in a committee then III do it Whiting look Sheldon s remarks as a personal slight and like insinuations that regional councillors were not doing their Jobs Armstrong argued back that it wasn fair that Sheldon could take shots at the regional and town staff and regional councillors Major Russ Miller said he resented begin told he does not deal with the policy especially alter he spends three hours at a meeting about that very issue Local councillor Ross interjected that whether Sheldon is right or not it is the closest person to the taxpayers who takes the flak whether ft his or her juris diction or not Sheldon resolution for the committee was defeated Junior Farmers has become a misleading name for an organization celebrating

Pat refers to it as more of a social club with a commit ment to community betterment Monthly dances and a food booth at Milton Fall Fair and the Steam Era reuinion are the groups major money makers
