i 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, August 31,1983 <r O SMALL TALK By Donna Fairey *300,000 Fire Station To Be Built in Orono The diabolical plot to dethrone me was successful. successful. I'm now the deposed deposed queen of Blackstock Fair's annual annual media milking contest. A highly tuned conspiracy to unseat me resulted in the loss of my championship status Saturday to former title holder, Gerry Brett of CHAR radio. I've got to hand it to the new champ for he truly outsmarted me and in the process of his plan to oust me from the throne, outmilked me. Gerry breezed in scarcely moments before before the competition was to commence. He was panting and out of breath and not at all secretive about his whereabouts. There was nothing in the rules, he bragged, prohibiting prohibiting him from a precontest precontest warm-up. The former title holder holder admitted he had spent the better part of the day practicing, limbering limbering up his fingers and refining his technique on every Holstein in the Fair grounds that would tolerate tolerate Gerry's crazed mania to improve his hand at milking. In fact, I have reason to believe that he purposely purposely milked dry my allotted cow before she was ever led to the con test area. Some people will go to any lengths to win. The reason for my mistrust is this. There were only two cows and four media milkers meaning two of us were assigned to one animal - two taps apiece. I didn't object to that. After all, one only has two hands. Slyly and out of the side of his mouth, old smoothy Gerry tells me he wants to share my cow. Gullible me says, "Sure, why not.?" We selected the animal with the biggest udder considering the same rationale had worked for me the previous year. In the last moments of confusion before the start of the milking contest, contest, good old Gerry skedaddles over to the other cow. Is he crazy, I thought, switching to an animal with a midget udder when he could have shared a generously generously endowed Guernsey with me. Had I been on the bit and a little less naive, iiis tactical manoeuvre should have lent a clue to something amiss. The timer gave the shout to start milking. After 60 seconds of fruitless pulling it became became apparent my Miss Moo was dry as a bone. At the conclusion of the [ sport-talk 623-330?

And it wasn't just me for the contestant on the other side of my cow wasn't able to wring a drop from her either. Moreover, I don't think our Guernsey appreciated appreciated being milked twice within a short span of time having been, I suspect, drained earlier by Gerry. To show her displeasure displeasure the animal sashayed her butt around knocking me off my milking stool. Indeed, Indeed, it was a no win situation. On the other hand, Gerry tapped into a real gusher. In two minutes flat he filled his bottle half full and recaptured recaptured the crown he had relinquished to me the year before. Never let it be said, however, that I was a sore loser. I raised his weary arm in victory considering it had likely milked an entire herd before he ever set foot in the contest contest area. It's over now and there's no use crying over spilled milk. There will be other contests. contests. Wear your crown while you can, Gerry, for I intend to come out again next year -this time with all guns blazing. blazing. From Page One tion of Orono.
