Complaints about chemical lawn treatment at school yards in Mildmay and Formosa have the separate school board reconsidering its yard maintenance program. The board has had several complaints about children with allergic reactions to chemical weed killers and fertilizers applied to school playgrounds. Spraying on weekends and pos- ting signs were considered, but trustee Christine Zettel said that still leaves children playing in chemical residue. "Definitely that's the concern," Zettel said. "I don't think that we have looked into it thoroughly enough to say that no, there isn't a residue. I don't think even as a society we know the effects of all those 'chemicals onus." Zettel also said posting signs is "admitting there could be a Problem". "Maybe thi's is a warning sign that we should be .looking at an alter- native to this kind of weed control," - she Aoted. • Trusteee Tom O'Dwyer said he contacted lawn care spokespeople and was told there is no residue after 24 hours if there is a dew or rain after application. "It's sold everywhere. You have to be licenced to apply it commer- cially. Almost every home owner uses it at one time or another," O'Dwyer. said in defence of the chemical treatment plan. "I don't know why we're only getting complaints from two areas of the county." Trustee Ken Waechter said there have been complaints in the Walkerton area as well. He noted a woman was taken to hospital with an allergic reaction after entering a school where the grounds had been treated.. But Chair Bill Zettel said there was no proof .chemicals at the school caused the attack. "This person is so sensitive it could have come •from a whiff when she was driving along the road," Zettel said. • • Zettel also said the board is "be- tween a rock and a hard place" because it will get complaints if its school yards aren't well maintained. Christine Zettel argued that allergies may be just the first •symptom of the harm that lawn chemicals can cause, "Years ago we didn't • think second hand smoke was bad. Now smoking is banned in all our • schools," she said. Zettel offered to help board main- tenance staff find an alternative to chemical lawn care., . Bill Zettel accepted the offer and suggested using the Mildmay or Formosa schools as a pilot project.. "No one is opposed .to looking at alternatives. I just, don't know what it is," Bill Zettel said.

(Marg Burkhart photo) Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, July 6, 1994 – Page 5 Time on the clock doesn't matter; she's always golfing in the `dark' I'm one of those golfers who always believes she's playing in the `dark'. There are so many different theories to remember while pursuing this sport, that I liken it to my aforementioned statement. However, on the weekend, I truly was playing in the dark. It's a new pursuit in the area - night golf. Some genius came up with the idea and is probably nicking a mint off it. The balls are sort of a clear rubber with a hole through the middle of it, where you put in a little stick that through some process is illuminated. It was a social evening and the golfing was "just for fun", however some of those more expert than I were just as,serious as if it was a daytime match. The sky was full of millions of stars, tint no moon was in sight as we started out at 10 p.m. Walking around in the dark was a chore in itself. Thanks to a couple of flash- lights we managed not to fall in any creeks, roll down any hills or walk into trees, although Sue, the other female in our group; came close to being a permanent fixture on one of the hundreds of trees on the course. • The men in our group decided the•women should tee off first, because they weren't too sure of what club to use on these rub - Purchasing a vehicle is a big decision!

For some unknown reason the poorest golfer in the group - myself - was elected to have the honors. I hate being the first off the tee - I still get embar- rassed when I screw up, even though I've had lots of practice - at screwing up that is. Lady luck was with me, as I teed• up on the first hole. Hubby waspointing the flashlight at the ground where my ball was sitting, in an effort to help me get my bearings. That little green il- luminated ball flew through the air, missed the creek and landed in a perfect location for me to get a nice chip onto the green (it was a short hole). I was rather proud of myself, but that feeling didn't last long. It was downhill from there on in. The golf course was quite_a sight, as the various groups' green illuminated balls flew the air and landed. It was like a scene from • an outer space movie. There's always a comedian or two in any group. On, our second hole, one of the foursomein front of us decided to re -locate the pin, which had affixed to it two glowing green lights to let you know where it was located. Now the other three in our group, being very familiar with the course, couldn't quite understand what the pin was doing in that location. The two males had quite a bit to say about Leroy, the greenskeeper. I won't repeat their comments; suffice it to say, they were eating their words about his lack of com- petence when on the next hole the comedian cracked up laughing as the men chipped towards the pin that was no where near the hole. It took close to two hours to play the five designated holes.=It was a fun night, not one to be taken seriously, but one that resulted in many stories to be shared at the 19th hole, which thankfully was closed. My stories wouldn't have sounded any dif- ferent as I said, I'm• always playing in the `dark'. 'kelton Q"emorials MEMORIAL DESIGNING.... OUR 'SPECIALTY ...
