Librarian of the Year
The following article is repduted
from the Parry Sound Bion Star
for the interest of our readers.
Laurine Tremaine is- the daughter of
Gordon and Phyllis Morrison, of R.
Ice 'et5:iis1ons,
Parry Sound - The Ontario. Library
Trustee's A..Mociatkm (OLTA) has
verified something most of the
people in Parry Souud have known
for some heti n hely that our
Chief Librarian Laurine Tremaine is
one of the best in the business. °
Nominated by Board Chairman
John Boyd and the rest of the
Library Board, Mrs. Tremaine beat
out chief librarians from across
Ontario to earn the 1990 OLTA
Award of Merit - the W.J.
Robertson Medal, the Librarian of
the Year.
"Other than Texas, Ontario has
the largest library system in North
America (state or province) with
1,500 service points. That means
there are 1,500 chief librarians and
Laurine has been chosen as the one
that best typifies the ideal librarian.
It's really a staggering honour."
The criteria that probably earned
her the award, according to Mr.
Boyd, was the 'model' criteria:
Candidates are exp,ted to have
served as models for their col-
league, to be examples of
dedication, consistent in high ser-
vice standards and innovative in
approach to library problems.' Her

work in developing aud *elphig to
create the Optimist Club
Children's/Young Adult Library and
aaintaining excellent service while
facia staff reductions fit the bill
a"Mri.-soTrenai rte has an excellent
reptotion h the coMillu ky as a
competent and helpful chief
librarian. This edibility was essen-
tial to 'the icy Sound Optimist
Club becoming' . partner in the
project.
"The unique features and dramatic
presentation of the Optimist Club
Children's/Young Adult Librery nre
mainly due to Mrs. Tremaine's
originality and ability to work long,
unpaid overtime hours during the
research and design phase of the
project.
Her thoroughness and attention
to detail during the implementation
phase of the project yielded a
finished product which delights and
teaches young library user.
"The consequences of Mrs.
Tremaine's dedication to excellence
are a 20 per cent circulation
increase in the .children's section,
greatly increased in -library use of
the children's lnbry resources, and
a much enhanced public image of
the entire library in the community.
lie addition, the p oject demonstrates
that all libraries can form partner-
ships to obtain whatever benefits
individual libraries seek.
The Board kept Mrs.. Tremaine's
ni .once** bort a e. ret so she rasn't,
aware of it until she heard the gni
trews. .
I was totally surid," she said,
"as well .as thrilled. Mid_ w' I m
feel that I have to shy it with the
members of the ./.)44 nilly staff
project designer Stephen Wohieber
'and the Parry Sound Optimist Chub.
',couldn't have won it without ilii
their help,"
While she feels that the award
adds extra pressure to keej the
library service up to its standard,
she doesn't mind. In fact she said
they have future projects under
development that will keep things
hopping at the library.
As successful as the Optimist
addition has been, it isn't the only
reason the Board put Mrs.
Tremaine's name forth in
i1OiTiiikdu r.v mire she -spent long
hours both at work and on her own
time developing the children's
library project, she also had to
perform as chief librarian. '
"It is a tribute to ' her ad-
ministrative skill and ability to
work effectively and efficiently that
the library continued to function
smoothly."
Mrs. Tremain has an Hon. BA
and an i'tfoS fir:he University .of
Western Ontario, and has taught
courses for the library Tecbniciar-i
Program for Georgians College. She
first came to the Parry Sound
Library back in 1976-81 and them
returned again as Chief Librarian in
1988.
Midgets unsuccessful A hearty
in last two games
The Lucknow Midgets suffered
two losses over the last week of
holidays. They fell to Mildmay 5 -
3 and added one more loss to their
list against Drayton.
Lucknow appeared to be in com-
mand in the fist period against
/---.Mildmay when the opened the
scoring on a gaol from Warren
Andrew at 12:06, assisted by Don-
nie Cuillerier. They were however
backed into their own end for the
rest of the period with Mildmay
netting three goals, making it a 3 -
1 game.
Mildmay scored early in the
second and Lucknow went to the
dressing room for the time out
down 4 - 2, with a goal from
Andrewonce more, assisted by
Terry Livingston.
Mildmay scored in the third for
their fifth and Lucknow put their
third away on a , goal from Vince

Sticklend scored the only goals of
the game for Lucknow. The first

by Donnie Cuillerier and the second

most of the game and any chances
Lucknow had were turned away by
Drayton's net minder.
Prepare now for National
Soil Conservation program
Ontario farmers will have the
opportunity this winter to submit
bid proposals for retiring fragile
farmland under the Permanent
Cover portion of the National Soil
Conservation Program. Landowners
may submit a proposal which es-
tablishes their own level of comp-
ensation for eligible projects to a
maximum of $10,000 per applicant.
Each project will be treated on a
tendering basis where a local com-
mittee of the Ontario Soil and Crop
Improvement Association (OSCIA)
will review, compare and recom-
mend approval or rejection.
Decisions will be based on the
quality of the projects and the value
per acre requested by the landowne-
r. The level of compensation may
be determined by taking into con-
sideration
onsideration the costs of establishing
the permanent cover and a one-time
payment to the landowner as an
incentive to remove that fragile land
from agricultural production and
provide adequate ,maintenance. The
applicant's objective in determining
the bid value is to calculate the
lowest acceptable compensation
value per acre. The $8.6 million in
assistance funds has been allocated
across each county and district
based oly rocv crop acreage&
