PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, July 28, 1976 AY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAA AA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANANAN > AR The Farm Scene The annual Ontario County Holstein Club and Milk Producers' Twilight meeting was held at the farm of William Werry and Son, RR 2 Oshawa, on the evening of Tuesday, July 20th, under very adverse weather conditions. The program started at 7:30 in the evening, with the judging of a class of six Holstein cows from the Werry herd; however, the judging compeition was scarcely completed, when the crowd of more than 500 was driven to cover in the stable, barn and implement shed by a light shower. The weather cleared somewhat and an effort was made to continue with a variety program $ outside, when heavy rain started, which continued throughout the evening. It soon became apparent that all efforts to carry on the program had to be abandoned. In spite of the weather, everyone was in good spirits and, after the announcement of the judging com- petition results and an enjoyable lunch, the meeting $ adjourned. Winners in the judging competition are as follows: Junior and 4-H Section - 1st - Miss Melanie Winter, RR 1 Pickering, 2nd - David Smith, RR 4 Sunderland, 3rd - Stan Smalley, RR 1 Uxbridge. Ladies: 1st - Mrs. Frank Barkey, RR 3 Claremont, 2nd - Mrs. R.J. Smith, RR 4, Sunderland, 3rd - Mrs. Bill Stone, RR 5 Sunderland. Men: 1st - Tom Sutherland, RR 4 Uxbridge, 2nd - John Buckley, 3rd - John Lane. The judging competition was under the direction of Mr. G.E. Nelson, Holstein Association Fieldman, with Mr. Bill Moore, National Director, Cobourg, acting as the official judge. Prizes for the judging competition were donated by Claremont Co-op; Uxbridge Co-op; Joe Snowden, Oshawa; Aubrey Carson, Sunderland; B.& W. Farm Service, Sunderland; Sunderland Co-op; Master Feeds Port Perry and T.L. Wilson & Sons, Whitevale. MILK QUALITY CERTIFICATES Each year, the Ontario County Milk Committee recognizes twelve producers who have the highest number of points in the area, based on milk quality and farm score. Certificates are usually presented to these dairymen at the time of the Milk Producers' annual meeting in January. Because of a very stormy evening at the time of the annual meeting, the presentation of the certificates was held over until a later date. This was to have taken place at the annual Twilight Meeting, and again, weather prevented the recognition of the' winners. For this reason, it has been decided to release the names of the winners at this time, and they can be assured that they will receive their framed certificates in the near future. The winners, based on their 1975 milk production and farm score are as follows: Gerrit Kroekenstoel, RR 1 Whitby; Mac Mustard, RR 2, Uxbridge; J.L. Harbron, RK 1 Ashburn; Walker Kydd, RR 2 Sunderland; Ross Smalley, RR 1 Uxbridge; Roybrook Farms, RR 1 Brooklin; Edward Gordon, RR 1 Cannington; Alan Ball, RR 2 Uxbridge; Norman Meek, Sandford; Parbro Harms, RR 3 Uxbridge; Ivan Cox, RR 2 Uxbridge; Murray Holtby, RR 4 Port Perry. Mr. Gerrit Kroekenstoel is also the winner of the H.L. Fair Trophy for milk quality and farm score, for the fourth year in succession. Another group, that was to have been recognized at the Twilight Meeting, were the first year 4-H Calf Club members in Ontario County, who have undertaken a calf club project with a Holstein calf. This group was to receive a show halter as a special award from the Ontario County Holstein Club.

Pollution, water control, boating speed, wake control and a Lake Simcoe Conser- vation Authority were major issues discussed at a public meeting of the Canada- Ontario Rideau-Trent-Sev- ern (CORTS) Advisory committee held recently at Beaverton. Property owners, from Beaverton, cottagers on the Talbot River at Gamebridge and residents along the shore of Lake Simcoe all complain- ed of pollution and changes in the environmental quality in their immediate areas. One person asked if the water in the Talbot River, was safe for swimming. Mr. Howard Shillington, a councillor from Georgina Township announced that a small group representing different municipalities around Lake Simcoe was working towards ways of improving environmental quality of the Lake. Mr. AE. (Bert) Hick, the Vice-chairman of the Advisory Committee, who chaired the meeting, said, after the meeting: "We will have to consider the con- cerns of the public on water pollution of prime import- ance in our work. . This concern has been expressed repeatedly at meetings like the one to-day." Discussion on water control and, more particu- larly, spring flooding was wide ranging with concerns heard from residents on the Six Mile Channel in Glou- cester Pool, Black River, Lake St.John and the Talbot River. Seyeral people took the opportunity to discuss their problem with the Trent- Severn Waterway officials in attendance after the meet- ing. Mrs. A. Slater, a councillor for Rama Town- ship, indicated that a public meeting was to be held August 7th in the Rama School to discuss the Lake St.John problems of flooding and pollution. Some of the audience felt a conservation authority may be the answer to several of these problems on water control and environmental quality. A representative of the South Lake Simcoe Con- servation Authority indicat- ed they were already study- ing the environmental problems of the Holland Mapsh area and its impact on Lake Simcoe. Studies of a similar nature could be carried out anywhere within an authority. Boat use was. a popular topic with concerns express- ed on the boat speed zones, enforcement, boat wake, boat licencing and boat operator licencing. The inter-relationship between- boat speed and wash was pointed out to the Committee when several persons stated that, with the new speed zones, the small boats were creating more wake than in the past. This was increas- ing the shore erosion prob- lem. Mr. Hick stated: 'We have been told in certain States they use a bell warn- ing system on buoys, which rings in high wake. I think this may be looked into for wake control." Boat licencing and operat- or licencing, were warmly discussed with several people and organizations for or against this form of added control. On boat licencing, the concerns expressed were: how to handle out-of-- province or country boaters using Ontario waters; that the cost of collection would be as much as the licence fee; would the licence be set by length of boat or horse- power 'of motor; and the need for a central registry of boats in Ontario. It was indicated that New York State and Florida have lic- encing systems that appear to work successfully. The key to several people was how to achieve boating, safety. 'The Power Squad- ron boater safety course or something similar could be mandatory for anyone oper- ating a boat of a certain size," suggested Mr. Larry Hartmier, the Advisory Committee member from Beaverton. "But these things cost money and polic- ing costs money, which could come from licencing." The Chairman indicated the next public meeting would be on the Rideau waterway at the Hotel Kenney, Jones Falls in the afternoon of August 11th.
