Simmer soup
for IPM '99
One of the advance features for
the 1999 International Plowing
Match to be held at Dashwood is a
soup competition taking place at
the annual fairs throughout the
county. The competition promotes
the use of Huron County products
and features individual creativity.
Rules are available from local
Agricultural Societies, either in the
prize book or through the secretary
of the Association. If you have
access to the inter-net, tune in to the
IPM '99 web page as well.
Each fair will have a local winner
which will then go to the "Best of
Fair" competition in October,
taking place in Exeter. The overall
champion soup will become the
"SOUP OF THE MATCH". It will
be featured in plowing match
menus and could be available as a
promotional product as well.

Although the Wingham 543 and
Listowel 769 Royal Canadian Air
Cadet Squadrons have a successful
program, they face the possibility
of disbanding due to a lack of
officers.
Regional Cadet Advisor Lt. Col
William Smith told those in
attendance at the annual inspection
of the air cadet squadrons from
Wingham and Listowel he was
impressed both with the number of
cadets in the squadrons and with
parents' support. He adds belonging
to cadets helps young people
achieve their goals.
However, he says a couple of
squadrons in the area were facing
the possibility of disbanding.
"It's not due to the lack of cadets
or to the lack of support, but it's
due to the lack of officers," says
Smith.
Although the situation was
resolved at the 'llth hour' when
officers were found to volunteer
their time for these squadrons, it
does not mean the successful
programs in Wingham and
Listowel are totally secure.
Capt. C. E. Mino is the only
officer for the 543 squadron and
Capt. D. Campbell is the sole
officer for the 769 squadron.
"Is Wingham about to lose its air
cadet squadron?" Smith asks. "If
Capt. Mino decides to retire, the
543 squadron is gone."
Smith adds this also applies to
the 769 squadron.
But being a commanding officer
of an air cadet squadron is not a
simple or easy task. He says there
is a long training process involved
as well as the need to take on
responsibility at the same time.
There's more to the International
Plowing Match (IPM) than
plowing.
When the event comes to Huron
County from Sept. 21 - 25 in 1999,
there will be music, bands, parades
and lots of entertainment.
The Bands and Parades Commit-
tee for the IPM '99 is seeking all
interested musical groups who
would like to participate in the
Because the position demands hard
work, low pay does not make it
appealing.
But Smith adds being a
commanding officer is rewarding
due to the knowledge gained in
working with young people.
Because the ice remains in the
Listowel Memorial Arena until
July, inspection of the 543 and 769
Air Cadet Squadrons was combined
on Wednesday at the Lockridge
Memorial Arena in Wingham.
Inspecting the cadets was Lt. Col
Smith. He says a great effort went
into the evening's inspection.
"It was difficult to work together,
as Listowel had to come in from
out of town," he explains.
The cadet advisor inspects the
squadrons twice a year, before
Christmas and towards the end of
the season.
Following the inspection, a
number of awards were presented
to 543 squadron cadets.
Warrant Officer 2 Jennifer
Benninger was presented the cadet
medal of excellence by Royal
Canadian Legion Zone 'C'
commander June Pyette.
Benninger was also the recipient
of the most proficient senior NCO
award. Cpl. Adam Potter received
the most proficient junior NCO
award.
Sgt. Devon MacDonald received
the most improved cadet award.
Warrant Officer 1 Craig Empey
received the leadership and
citizenship award.
Sgt. Brian Sanders was presented
the special activities award and
Cpl. Chris Harper received the
sportsman award. .
The Esprit de Corps award went
to Cpl. Steven Empey.
Flight Sgt. Patrick Nolan
received a flying scholarship for a
glider and a cheque.
