February 19,1986 Pontiac Milk Producers reject skim-off levy increase I included the acceptance to raise the joint plan levy by $0.05 per hectolitre on June 1, 1986; the presentation of the new national dairy policy; the explanation of the up-to-date production figures and the 1985-86 final adjustments; the agreement to increase the promotion and advertising levy from $0.57 per hectolitre to $0.59 per hectolitre on June 1, 1986; and the explanation of quota by-laws and the quota loan.The motion to take off the quota loan was passed.In 1985, 111 loans, or 1.2% of the total quota, were given out in Quebec.The advantage given for taking off the quota loan were the avoidance of having to look for lender and paying for the loan and the possibility that the Quebec Milk Producers Federation would allow all the producers to produce that 1.2% in adjusting the quota of everybody during the last four months.Elected President of the Milk Producers in the Pontiac was Bruno Alarie.William Smiley was elected Vice-president.Named as directors were Chris Judd, Denzil Brownlee, David Rusenstrom, and Ronald MacKechnie.The Quebec Milk Producers Federation will hold its annual general meeting on April 16 and 17, 1986 in Quebec City.There the delegates will vote on a modification to the joint plan levy, a modification to the in quota levy, and a modification to the advertising and promotion levy.The Pontiac Milk Producers voted against a proposal to raise the skim-off levy at their general meeting, Wednesday, February 12.Skim-off is defined as \"the amount of fat which comes from the \u2018standardization\u2019 of fluid milk products and is used for industrial milk products.\u201d The 1984-85 skim-off was 1,492,042 kg of butterfat.It was proposed to increase the skim-off levy on Class I milk from $0.3015 per hectolitre to $0.98 per hectolitre.If accepted, there would be a decrease of the levy of the industrial milk quota of 20 cents per hectolitre.The levy would go towards the cost of marketing by-from February 27 to March 2.The Queen will products or surplus.Pool II, or the industrial milk market, pay Photo by Studio Andrée for the marketing of the byproduct of the butter and of its surplus of butter and powder.Pool I, or Class I milk producers, must pay for the marketing of its by-product that affect the industrial milk market.The quota would come from an extra 5% hold back on the quota offered for sale.In the province of Quebec, that would total 2,500 litres of Class I per year and 82,500 kilograms of butterfat per year.If 500 young farmers were to be eligible, they would each receive 5 litres of Class I milk and 185 kilograms of butterfat.The additional income provided by that quota to pay for the cost of living and the debt would come to a total of $787 per year.The eligibility criteria would be as follows: at the farm level only one sleeve of Class I and Industrial milk would be given by farm and no complete transfer of the quota could have been made during the last 10 years.At the young producer level, the demand must be done when the quota is transferred or during the year of establishment and it must be the first time the person establishes in production.The young farmer must be 35 years old or less, must have worked on a dairy farm for at least 2 years, must have a minimum of 20% shares of the farm, farming must be the main occupation and source of income, and the farmer must go five years without selling the quota.N wm muâ K» WU x.I y rc X > ?™ v Al : .lül*lT Shawville Postmaster

November in 1985 as in 1984 at 2659.However, when the month of December is included, there is a decrease from 2981 in 1984 to 2954 in 1985.Mr Holtman stated there was an \u201cuntapped potential of

We heard after that the Dube Orchestra gang got snowed in at Costellos across the river near the entrance to old highway 17 in Ontario.With $10.00 in those days we had enough incentive to promote other dances at the old town hall during the early thirties and they all were successful without most points.Risks and rules of ice travel Germain transformed their farm house and barn into a hotel

starts its descent the passenger compartment will be flooded by an onrush of water and ice through the windows.This ice and water could easily knock the occupants unconscious and-or block the expected exit points.The vehicle will follow the engine down as the engine is usually the heaviest part of the vehicle.Once the vehicle strikes the mud bottom it will likely \u201cturtle\" or come to a stop in an upside-down position.The displacement of the thick mud which normally rests at the bottom of most Canadian lakes will create a condition of blackout which reduces visibility to zero.As the vehicle settles into the mud, any attempt to exit through the windows and doors may become impossible.If the windows are open or if they break on descent, the passenger compartment will fill with mud.venue

Medical intervention required by an incapable person One of the duties of the Public Curator is to act on behalf of an incapable person when consent is needed for any medical or dental intervention.However well-founded the proposed treatment, the law requires that prior to any intervention, a practitioner must obtain informed consent from his patient and must take into account his capacity to give such consent.This consent musfrbe given freely and willingly.In the case of incapable persons, it is the Public Curator who must give or refuse consent to treatment for these persons.Upon receipt of a request for such consent, the Public Curator compiles all information relating to the proposed medical or dental intervention and seeks a detailed explanation of all of its implications: the necessity of the intervention, the consequences and possible alternative treatment, all of which he discusses with his medical advisors.Once a decision has been made, he informs the practitioner who then acts accordingly.These decisions are generally reached rapidly because the Public Curator gives priority to any request for consent that is submitted to him.In certain cases, a delay, no matter how brief, is not possible.In a case of extreme urgency, surgery may be performed without prior consent.This decision may be taken if the physician judges that surgery is imperative to save the patient\u2019s life.In all other cases, the physician must always obtain the consent of the Public Curator before proceeding with a medical intervention.Next week, we will expand on the same subject.The Public Curator encourages any requests for information to be addressed to A MESSAGE FROM THE PUBLIC CURATOR\u201d, Le Curateur public du Québec, P.O.Box 51, Montreal (Quebec) H4Z
