What is especially charming is getting a glimpse of the old buildings that used to stand in the town. They were there since the beginning, beginning, and as they must have been a source of pride to Bowmanville residents then, so should they have been to today's residents. Fortunately, Fortunately, though many of these buildings are gone forever, their images have been caught forever on film or are contained contained in local history books and newspapers. But even though we have pictures of the old Bank of Montreal, Post Office, and Royal Bank, to have a sense of pride we need something something tangible, to remind us of our past. Think of it: people in about 1903 used to pass by the Town Hall every day, just like residents residents do today. They used to attend plays at the theatre upstairs. The street looked a lot different then: the roads weren't paved, wagons passed by instead of cars, and people wore britches, bonnets and long skirts. It conjures up a rather charming picture, doesn't it? So, how can we protect the buildings that are left? The answer is the Local Architectural Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee, LACAC for short. LACAC is an advisory committee committee to the local Council, made possible by the Heritage Act of 1974. They are a group of local residents interested in heritage conservation. They advise the Council of properties properties they feel are worthy of 'heritage designation'. LACAC researches a local property, the Town Hall for example, and determines whether it is of architectural and or historical importance. If so, this property may be designated as a 'heritage site. ' A plaque is placed on the building. The old building will be protected against demoli tion or severe alteration. The preservation of old homes and other buildings adds to the overall character of the town. These buildings are pieces of living history in our midst. With designation, also comes a sense of local pride. After all, what is a town if we have no sense of where it all started? The past is important and fascinating. Like somebody somebody said: 'If these walls could talk...' Hopefully, buildings like the Town Hall will soon be designated. designated. The following buildings have been designated: the Bowmanville Museum, the Northcutt Elliot Funeral Home, the 'Octagon' on Division Division Street, the Visual Arts Centre, and the Kirby School- house Museum. 'Waltham Cottage' on Division Street may soon be designated. If you would like to know more about LACAC and what is does, contact LACAC Chairperson Chairperson Cathie Humber or summer research student Sherry Greengrass.

Finlay, Agricultural Representative Fall Forage Management: We are approaching a very critical time of year relative to good forage management. How you manage your forage crops over the next six weeks will go a long ways toward determining next year's yield. The "Critical Harvest" period for alfalfa varies across Durham County. The Critical Harvest period is the rest time, that we must give alfalfa, in order to build up food reserves in the root system. These food reserves are used to provide resistance to winterkill, and to initiate new growth in the spring. Grazing or cutting during the Critical Harvest period will weaken plants thus making them susceptible susceptible to winterkill or reducing reducing yield. The critical harvest period for alfalfa in the south part of Durham is September 1st to October 10th. In the north half of the county, it is August 20th to October 1st. Good top growth will help to hold snow over the winter, thus providing an insulating effect for the crowns of the plants. Alfalfa winterkill is usually not caused by smothering, but rather by cold temperatures. Now is, also, the time for farmers to fertilize, forage crops, if it has not already been done. Hopefully, a soil sample has been taken in order to determine fertility requirements. A general recommendation recommendation for an established established stand is 150 Kg-ha or 135 lbs per acre of 0-20-20. In summary, don't cut or graze alfalfa during the critical critical harvest period; leave adequate adequate top growth (8 -12") for snow-holding and fertilize your forage crops according to a soil test. HOME ECONOMICS FOOTNOTES By Barbara McNinch, R.O.S. Specialist (HomeEc.) Peach Pointers: Ontario's peach season begins in late July, when several early varieties of semi-freestone peaches go to market. These juicy peaches are generally small-sized, with flesh that clings to the pit. Semi-freestones are best when eaten fresh, out-of-hand. By August, Ontario's freestone freestone varieties become available available and they usually last until late September. The name 'freestone' signifies that the flesR separates freely from the pit. Because of this, as well as their larger size and greater greater availability, the freestone varieties of peaches are ideal for cooking and preserving. Ontario peaches are handpicked handpicked and carefully rushed to markets and stores within just a few days of harvesting. At home, care should be taken when storing peaches. Keep unripe peaches at room tem perature, away from direct sunlight. Occasionally, check for ripeness by looking at the background colour. Don't pinch; just look for a creamy- yellow colour with no green tinges. Once ripened, store Ontario peaches, uncovered, in the refrigerator for up to five days. For easier peeling of peaches, plunge them into boiling water for 30 seconds and skins will slip off. To present browning of sliced peaches, dip in ascorbic acid or lemon juice. Be sure to enjoy the fresh, juicy sweet flavour of Ontario's famous peaches. Let's run around together. _ venon^m nmamnont m T'uCcMwnwNMlHHnMk GRAIN AND LIVESTOCK FUTURES CHICAGO (U.S.S) AUGUST 15, SOYBEANS Sept. 8.87 CORN LIVE HOGS LIVE CATTLE FEEDER CATTLE Sept. 3.661/2 Aug. 50.40 Aug. 64.05 Aug. 63.17 1983 Nov. 9.05 Dec. 3.66 Oct. 44.00 Oct. 60.80 Sept. 62.75 Jan9.16 Mar. 3.72 3/4 Dec. 45.65 Dec. 61.75 Nov. 63.15 WEEKLY TRENDS I GRAIN AND LIVESTOCK FUTURES i.$) 25th Aug. 1st 8th 15 7.361/2 7.55 8.14 9.05 3.263/4 3.353/4 3.481/2 3.66 39.67 41.60 42.77 44.00 60.60 60.52 60.92 60.80 62.45 62.02 62.40 62.75 CHICAGO (U.S.$) Date:July SOYBEANS Nov.
