f I I 8 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville, March 7,1984 Section Two I": Correspondent's Niece Hits Toronto Headlines YELVERTON NEWS (Intended for last week) Several items of special interest to this correspondent were stumbled upon this week in various newspapers - including the "Newcastle Independent," the Lindsay Post Vision and of all places - the Toronto Sun. Starting in reverse order, as we were scanning the Toronto Sun, Wednesday's edition, which we did not purchase as the little woman suggests strictly for the Sunshine girl, although must admit she wasn't bad - about 81/ 2 on a scale of 10. Anyhow, in the Sun each edition they ask about five people to answer a seasonal or timely question in a column with photos, "You Said It" by Linda Barnard. On Wednesday, they asked the same question we posed in last week's column - "Do you think spring is just around the corner?" One of those they asked by strange coincidence turned out to be our niece Cyndy (Malcolm) De Guistic of Toronto. Oh yes, they all thought (or hoped) that spring was here. Number two, we were C leased to see a short iography of a former Victoria County Warden Doris Winchester, and former County Council colleague, appear in the Lindsay Post vision - a well deserved tribute to a fine lady. Number three on the list we happened to notice in the Newcastle Independent, an item taken from the front page of an edition of February 19, 1959 vintage (25 years ago in case you're slow with figures), Bits and Pieces which quoted an excerpt from ' the Yelverton correspondents column in that edition commenting on the sleet storm that hit the district that week. Although we were pleased to see it, it makes us feel like the "Ancient Mariner" of correspondents. Never dreamt our grammatical grammatical imperfections would have lasted this long. A note to Dean Joncas, who by his comments in his sports column in the Newcastle Independent, was concerned about unjust criticism he received for his column. We say Dean - "Ignore them!" Just ask them who they asked to read your column to them. Jealousy will get them nowhere. Personally, we always read your column and enjoy it. There are always a few who dedicate their lives to nit-picking - and they are usually the ones who sign their name with an "X." It's funny about human nature - some folks love to pass out criticism but are stingy with their compliments. Belated congratulations to Yelverton's two participants in the recent annual figure skating competition for south Victoria County to Tara Malcolm for winning a bronze in Beginner I Ladies; to Denyse Glasbergen who won three awards either in Solos or in Pairs with Janet Trull -a silver, a gold and a silver in all. Well done girls. On Friday evening, Lindsay -Muskies bowed out of the semi-finals to the Little Britain Merchants by a score of 5-3. The super effort put on by the Merchants with super duper goaltending demonstrated by Pontypool's Jeff Mitchell (yes, he's the kid brother of one of Muskies top goal tenders Danny Mitchell) left little doubt as to the final conclusion of the game. Occasionally, the Muskies got Police Briefs When a local garage owner refused to release release a car before repair repair costs were settled, the customer took matters matters into his own hands. The suspect, later apprehended apprehended by the Durham Regional Police, waited until the service station closed Saturday night before embarking on a plan of attack. Police report that a lone male broke into Brooks BP station at 195 King East, Bowmanville, Bowmanville, by smashing a window. The object of the dispute, a 1984 Cadillac, was then driven driven through the bay door. The driver was app- rently injured in the break-out and consequently consequently wheeled around the corner to Memorial Hospital where he sought medical medical attention. It was in the hospital's hospital's emergency department department that police arrested arrested a 67-year-old suspect from Nepean, Ontario, charging him with break, enter, theft and mischief. into high gear, particularly in the third period, but their efforts were to say the least sporadic and appeared more of individual efforts than a strong team effort. Gordie Corneil scored all the Muskie goals. Congratulations to the winners. The finals should be interesting. Little Britain arena auditorium was filled to capacity on Saturday evening to hear Dr. Clayton Switzer provide an interesting and informative address in his capacity as after dinner speaker. Approximately 300 members and friends of the Victoria County Federation of Agriculture congregated in the spacious auditorium to enjoy a delicious roast beef dinner served by the local ladies. Mrs. Mary Wicks introduced the head table and other guests and Mrs. Seldon Parker introduced the guest speaker. Mr. Oscar Carew, President of the Victoria Federation welcomed the guests and acted as M.C. for the evening. Mr. Philip Payne, Warden of Victoria County and Mr. Carm Hamilton, Ag. Rep. for Victoria County, each brought greetings, in turn from their special area of concern and interest. The guest speaker, Dr. Clayton Switzer, has a background background in Agriculture going back 28 years of association with University of Guelph -11 years as Dean. He was appointed appointed on January 3, 1984 as Deputy Minister of Agriculture to fill the vacancy created by the transfer of Duncan Allen to another department. Dr. Switzer expressed the same concerns as did Warden Payne in the loss of quality land to development and quantity in failure to control erosion. Other concerns were the need of revision of the Lines Fence Act, improved Weed Control in Ontario. The prospective Red Meat program was discussed and he suggested that due to changing age pattern of the population, the eating habits are reflected in this change. Per capita' annual consumption of beef has dropped by 20% from 113 lbs. to 91 lbs. per capita. Vital statistics of Victoria County were stated as follows: there are 1485 farms in Victoria County, 1212 involved in beef cattle, 258 in dairy, 268 in hogs. Victoria has also the fourth largest cow-calf operation in Ontario. A number of draws were made during the evening for prizes donated by various commercial businesses. D.C. Steve Quibell, of Dunsford, of "MC-QU Music" provided excellent music for dancing - music to suit the taste of all ages - from the cradle to the grave as it were. Mr. Carl Johnson is nursing a couple of broken ribs and a couple more cracked ones as a result of taking the last four steps in a stairway in one step - accidentally of course. Carl has been off work for a week and expects to be off for another week. Mrs. Myra Page and Mr. Bert Thurd have each recently undergone surgical operations to correct pinched nerve problems in their hands. Mr. Jimmy Spenceley, son of Janet and Ted Spencely, recently flew home from Edmonton, Alberta, for surgery at the Shouldice Clinic in Toronto. For the lovers of religious music, an evening of sacred music is being planned in the Academy Theatre on March 3rd with many guest artist musicians scheduled to be present. Marti, Jane and Dionne Malcolm of Omemee were Saturday evening overnight visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Doug Sinclair and family in Oshawa. Mrs. Brenda (Terry) Malcolm and Mrs. Mary Ellen (Bob) McCamus of Cavan area are scheduled to attend a Farm Management Seminar for farm women in Chicago, U.S.A. this weekend and are planning to return by Tuesday. By the time this appears in print, Mrs, Audrie Brown and Mrs. Hazel Gray should have completed their two week sojourn in Hawaii and be home again, all browned off - tanned that is. Ronnie Sharman was honored on Sunday evening at Malconia with a birthday dinner on the special occasion of his 21st birthday. Guess you'll have to put away your teddy bear, Ronnie, now you've become a man. At the exhibition game between the Novice Manvcrs Team (Foodtown) and the Millbrook Novice Team, on i Sunday, a very close game I was enjoyed by the zealous fans present. A 1-1 tie, both teams scored in the first period and held throughout the game. The Millbrook team outshot the locals by a large margin • almost 10 to l. Dwayne Glasbergen kept the locals In contention with excellent goaltending. Todd Malcolm scored the only goal for Manvcrs. Stephen Hogg scored the only goal for Millbrook. , II !k Oshawa'Durham "Food Terminal" Only!
