By Peter Parrott It was just over 12 years ago that Rod Stork and his wife, Marlene, moved to Bowman- ville. They came here from Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan, where Rod had just completed four years of studies in agriculture at the University of Saskatoon. At that time, Rod was just beginning his career with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Agriculture and Food. Next year, the Storks will be moving again to another challenge, challenge, although this time, the move won't be quite so far. Rod Stork has been appointed appointed agricultural representative for Niagara South effective January 4 and will be commuting commuting weekends from his office in Welland to his home in Bowmanville. Later in the year, the whole family will be moving to their new community. community. While Rod says he will miss the friends he has made in Bowmanville, he adds that he looks forward to the challenges challenges of his new job and he is also looking forward to meeting meeting new friends. During their stay in Bowmanville, the Storks have found time for a number of community activities. Rod was a member of the Bowmanville Bowmanville Lions Club, the Curling Club and the Rural Bowling League. The Storks have been members of the St. Paul's United Church. They are looking forward to resuming these activities when they move to western Ontario. As an associate agricultural agricultural representative, Rod Stork's main areas of concern in recent years have been farm financial management and the dairy industry. Rod began his career by working in the 4-H program and recalls that this was an excellent way to get to know the farm community. During his time in Bowmanville, Rod also worked for 14 months with the Ministry of Agriculture Agriculture and Food in Toronto where he served as supervisor of youth extension. When he moves to Western Ontario, Rod will take charge of the administrative duties for the Ministry of Agriculture Agriculture and Food's office in Niagara Niagara South. However, he intends to continue to advise and assist the farm community. community. "The real satisfaction of the job to me is the day to day .working with the farmers," Rod explained. Although the office in Welland will be smaller than the one in Bowmanville Rod sees some similarities between between agriculture in this area and the farming operations in Niagara South. Both are general agricultural areas, producing diary products, poultry, and cash crops. There is also some grape and vegetable vegetable production. Rod points out that the one product which the Ministry of Agriculture and Food can offer to the farm community is information. The ministry strives to answer every request, he explained. Some areas of emphasis have included financial financial management, a beef cattle weaning weight program, program, sheep management, cash crop management and heifer management. He noted that even though today's farmers are knowledgeable, knowledgeable, they cannot oper- James Insurance BROKER LTD.

They need outside advice, whether that information comes from their accountant, feed salesman, salesman, agricultural representative representative or various other sources. The complexity of the industry industry has increased to the point where it is not uncommon to talk of a half-million dollar farming operation. He said farmers are taking a closer look at ways of reducing reducing the cost of their business, while maintaining their yields. Another trend in the farming industry is towards farmers who are taking a greater interest in the marketing marketing of their products. "As a whole, I think farmers are becoming more united as a group," said Mr. Stork. He pointed out that Canadian Canadian food costs are among the lowest anywhere. In fact, Canadians Canadians have the world's second lowest percentage of disposable income being spent on food. They are second only to the U.S. Rod noted that farming must be run as a straightforward straightforward business proposition, but he added that the business is also a way of life. The lifestyle lifestyle of farm families is often the envy of non-farm residents. residents. Rod recommends agriculture agriculture as a career for young people. Since there is a tremendous tremendous challenge to feed the people of the world, there are many opportunities for agriculturally-oriented agriculturally-oriented young people. But he adds that the young person must have a real interest interest in agriculture. If someone has that interest, then he believes believes that tiie dollars will look after themselves. Rod Stork was one of three new agricultural representatives representatives named last week by Dr. J. C. Rennie, assistant deputy minister of agriculture. There are now 54 such representatives representatives across the province. Moving to the Bowman- ville's Durham East office as agricultural representative is John Finlay, formerly the associate agricultural representative representative in Durham West. Mr. Finlay, who joined the ministry in 1975, received his bachelor of science degree from the University of Guelph in 1971. He replaces A. O. Dal- rymple, who retired in July of this year.

A technological forerunner, the STE blends functional elegance and quality with classic styling and sophisticated performance. performance. Available as a four-door sedan only, the STE will compete head-to-head with the best import sedans and is Pontiac's entry in the special touring car market. It is designed with specific appeal to buyers who appreciate functional value and good ride and handling. Up front, STE makes a dramatic statement with six separate lamps - quad halogen headlamps with center fog lamps in a specific grille - over a deep, functional front air dam. Wide body side moldings, specific for STE, complement the subtle two-tone paint combinations. Wraparound, neutral-density dual lens tail- lamps with four-cavity illumination are distinctive to STE. Porosity-free aluminum wheels for functional styling and improved durability are specific to STE. It is believed that this type of wheel processing processing is a first for an American- manufactured car. Standard Goodyear Eagle GT195-70R14 steel-belted tires complement the STE's handling handling package which is designed designed for precise roadability without sacrificing driver and passenger comfort. The exterior is complemented complemented by a specifically sculptured interior. It features orthopedi- cally-designed tailored front bucket seats that are fully adjustable and have internationally internationally styled adjustable headrests. A folding center armrest is featured in the back seat. Other standard STE interior features include a four-spoke steering wheel; full instrumentation instrumentation with red lighting; expandable map pockets on the door panels; a GM Delco electronically tuned (ETR) cassette stereo seek and scan radio with digital clock and five-band graphic equalizer, and a programmable Driver Information Center. The Driver Information Center monitors the status of the vehicle and vehicle systems through a computer processor which displays status for the driver's review. Monitored components and systems include: door, hood and deck lid for door ajar function; washer fluid level; radiator coolant level, and exterior lamps, oil pressure, voltage, fuel level, etc. The Service Interval Display is intended to call the driver's attention to a maintenance maintenance service requirement that is programmable by the driver. Standard powertrain is the 130 horsepower high output 2.8 liter two-barrel V-6 engine with a three-speed automatic transaxle. This combination offers responsive acceleration with estimated 0 - 60 performance performance of 11.0 seconds. Approved Approved EPA fuel economy estimates are 22 miles per gallon for city driving ana 34 miles per gallon on the highway. The electronic ride control (ERG), which automatically maintains the high ride quality and vehicle attitude throughout the full range of loading conditions, is standard on STE. ERG allows less rear suspension bottom-out, which results in a more stable ride with better isolation. An on-board air compressor adds pressure to the shocks automatically automatically to maintain height and increase rear spring rate as load is added to the car. An "on-off" switch and a Schraeder valve in the luggage luggage area allow the compressor compressor to be tapped for adding air to any' one of the tires. A one-man boat can be inflated in less than 10 minutes. Also, included as standard equipment is an accessory kit which will include inflation equipment to use with the on-board air compressor, emergency flares, a first aid kit, a rain parka, an ice scraper, moist disposable towlettes and shoo towels. Other standard features on STE's include electrically controlled air conditioning, electrically adjustable outside mirrors, power windows and power door locks. The single door lock system allows the driver to simultaneously unlock unlock all doors when the driver's door is unlocked. A "flash to pass" system allows the driver to activate high beam headlights by pulling the turn signal lever toward him or her; releasing it turns them off. All STE models have the General Motors Continuous Protection Plan for 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.
