/ 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September l, 1982 Some Donkeys Show No Respect Once I developed a feel for it the situation came on stream quickly. I squeezed my way to victory Saturday winning the Blackstock Fair media milking contest. And nobody was more surprised than myself. Petting a cow gingerly on the forehead was the closest I had ever come to one prior to the competition. My work, as you can appreciate, was to take place at the other end of the beast. Three male members of the area media and myself were pitted against one another. Armed with a milk bottle, handmade milking stool and our dubiously deft hands, we were allowed two minutes to extract as much milk as possible from the four legged ladies. Looking for tips prior to the contest, 1 asked a gentleman from the agricultural community how best to attack the task. He said (straight faced) that the secret was to squeeze, pull and then let go briskly subsequently regrabbing the spigot on the rebound. I soon discovered he had been putting me on. Another man facetiously told me I should pump the animal's tail vigorously to commence the juices flowing. I could plainly see I was on my own. The announcer gave the command to start pulling. It took me a good ten seconds to conquer the yuk-yuks of putting my hands on the cow's spigots. They aren't soft and supple as I had erroneously imagined. Rather, they are rough and leathery, however, the stimulation of milking softens them rapidly. There I was with my head buried under the cow's belly pulling for all I was worth. The drops came slowly from the first milk fountain of my choice. My long nailed fingers were blue with the cold and I feared the unlikely combination might inspire the Holstein to kick me sprawling off my milk stool. However, the docile beast really seemed to be enjoying it despite my ineptness. The poor thing stood contentedly letting me clumsily maul her dairy bar. While I pulled at the cow an amused crowd seemed to be pulling for me. It was apparent I was the underdog. I had chosen the cow with the largest udder hoping that, in this case, good things didn't come in small packages. The fellow from CHAR radio who was attacking the Three Gold Medals for Hampton Girl Daphne Haagmans, 18, of Hampton is shown above with some of the spoils she earned last weekend at the Ontario Junior Dressage Championships in Thornhill. Riding a horse called Sinners Choice, Daphne placed first overall winning a gold medal. She also placed first in her individual classes, giving her a total of three gold medals. Pigeon Racing Results DURHAM THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM CLOSURE OF SANITARY LANDFILL SITE The DARLINGTON WASTE DISPOSAL SITE will be closed Monday, September 6,1982, due to the Labour Day Holiday. Normal operations will continue on Tuesday, September 7,1982. W.A. TWELVETREES, P. ENG COMMISSIONER OF WORKS On Saturday, August 28th, the Bowmanville Invitational Racing Pigeon Club held its annual young bird open race from Cornwall, an average air distance of 335 km. The 233 birds shipped by the club were released at 6:30 a.m. under clear skies with no wind. By 9:30 a.m. a strong and gusty west wind had come up slowing slowing down air speeds somewhat and effectively separating the returning pigeons. Still, .when the race calculations were completed the velocities of the first few pigeons clocked were uncomfortably close. This week's race winner was C. Barr who won the Vanstone Mill trophy and also placed tenth. The air speed of the winning pigeon was over 1049 metres per min, Triple V Loft took the second, Headquarters for your Salt Requirements Come to our store and see our samples of Water Softener Salt and COMPARE OUR UNBEATABLE PRICES! Vanstone Flour and Feed Mill DIVISION of PVPKLO LNURPHISliS UMlTUp 116 King Street West 623-5777 Bowmanville Holstein next to me put on a dedicated spurt to win. The dribble, dribble, dribble in my bottle continued. My strategy had to be altered if I were to make even a decent showing. The second spigot I tried to wring out was equally as unco-operative as the first. A few reluctant drops ran up my arm. As desperation began setting in, I noticed one of the cow's rear taps was dripping and I hadn't even touched it. Although my knowledge of animal husbandry is nil, I figured this had to be a good sign. I grabbed the one with the leak in it and straight away found I had hit a gusher. The milk came out in a strong steady stream. Presto! It was like a log had been removed from the dam. Aaha! I knew there was milk in there. It was just a matter of finding the key which would open the flood gates. Establishing a feverish pace I was encouraged to see the contents of the milk jug rising beyond my wildest expectations. The crowd was yelling. Somehow I knew the guy next to me and myself were in a neck-and-neck race. He was last year's champ and lives in the rural community of Blackstock. The young man holding my Holstein peppered me with encouraging words. The announcer cautioned that we were near the finish. Ten seconds, nine, eight, seven, he chanted. I put on a last and final spurt for the home stretch. Halt, yelled the announcer. Shucks! I was just getting into the milk maid syndrome when it was all over. And what a photo finish it was. I defeated last year's reigning champ Jerry Brett of CKAR by a mere few drops. The organizers presented me with an official ribbon for first place and a block of cheese. Incidentally, media milkers were entitled to take home their milking stools. I think I've really got the bug for this thing. With the price of milk and the discovery of my latent talent for extracting it, I may just head for the pastures north of town to rustle me some moo juice. I am loathe to rub salt in Jerry's wound but I'm compelled nonetheless to make a disclosure. It later occurred to me that in my excitement I had milked my way to victory with my left hand. I'm right handed. RCMP Officer Wins Gold Medal in Texas For J avelin Throwing An Oshawa detachment RCMP officer, who lives in Pontypool, recently returned from the International Police Olympics in Austin, Texas with a gold médal for javelin throwing. Constable Jerry Gault rose above more than 3000 world competitors to place first in the javelin throwing competition competition with a distance of 174 feet.
