Funding will be available in 1993 to clean up water quality problems in the Maitland River watershed. Under the CURB Program (Clean Up Rural Beaches), farmers and homeowners can receive grants to construct manure storages, fence livestock out of watercourses, install milkhouse washwater disposal systems, and repair private septic systems. The CURB Program is delivered by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA). The Ontario Ministry of the Environment provides grants. This voluntary program is designed to help clean up rural sources of bacteria and phosphorus pollution. These pollutants degrade water quality at swimming beaches on Lake Huron and throughout the Maitland watershed. According to a press release from MVCA, in 1992 over 200 projects to improve water quality were completed in the Maitland River watershed. Over $1 million worth of grants will be issued to local farmers and homeowners for the completion of these projects. "Farmers and homeowners who are interested in taking advantage of grant assistance in 1993 should be contacting our office now" said Anne Loeffler, MVCA water quality technician. Application forms are available from the MVCA by calling 335-3557. Financial assistance is limited to those applicants who are presently polluting surface waters. Proposed projects with the greatest potential for improving water quality will be considered first for funding. The CURB program offers 50 per cent grants up to $2,000 to repair or replace a septic system that is polluting a nearby wateicourse. Farmers can receive a 75 per cent grant up to a total of $10,000 to pay for costs incurred in fencing livestock out of watercourses. Grants are also available for the construction of a crossing and alternate water source as part of a fencing project. Manure storages are eligible for a 50 per cent grant up to $12,000. The grant for milkhouse washwater disposal systems is 50 per cent,:with a maximum grant of $5,000.

Cattle watering in the river can also be infected with disease-causing organisms from upstream herds. notching his third of the game after splitting the Goderich defence pairing and surprising the unprotected goalie. Craig Marks, deciding he might as well have a hat trick too, responded by shaking off a check along the boards and drilling a hard shot into the Goderich net from the left wing. Belgrave defenceman Paul Walker helped his teammate get his third with a nifty setup in the slot for Marks after moving up from the left point to nullify a Goderich clearing attempt. However, the nicest goal of the afternoon belonged to Chad Cook who outraced a defenceman for a loose puck at centre ice and, with a Goderich checker hanging on his back, raced in and scored with a hard shot off the goalie's catching mitt that just managed to dribble over the goal line. This 3-1 win gave Blyth their round robin group title which advanced them to the semi-finals against Ripley. Once again Blyth outplayed their opposition, but had trouble putting the puck past the brilliant Ripley puck stopper. The game remained scoreless until a Blyth outburst midway through the third. Chris Stewart broke the deadlock with 6:45 remaining as he stuffed in a rebound from Jonathan Collins' shot. Christopher Howson and Brad Anderson assisted on Ryan Chamney's insurance goal 30 seconds later as Chamney backhanded the puck over the Ripley netminder in a wild goalmouth scramble.
