At a time when all of Ontario is
beginning to understand the
importance of clean water, the
Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority continues to lead the way
in conserving natural resources
throughout its 3,260-square-
kilometre territory, which includeg
North Perth and 14 other
municipalities, from Huron-Kinloss,
Perth East and Minto all the way to
Goderich, where the Maitland River
empties into Lake Huron.
"Our mission is to provide
leadership to protect and enhance
watershed rivers, forests and soil,"
said general-manager Phil Beard at
the MVCA annual meeting on Feb.
20. He explained the authority
cannot do everything itself but
"works in partnership -with
community groups, landowners and
municipalities".
The MVCA's main objective in
2001 was to help Huron, Perth and
Wellington Counties develop and
implement rural water-quality-
improvement projects under the
Healthy Futures for Ontario
Agriculture program, such as
fencing livestock out of water
courses and capping wells.
This year the main focus is to
help landowners and municipalities
to protect and improve water quality.
In the North Perth area, the MVCA
supports the Middle Maitland
Rejuvenation Committee in its work
to reduce levels of contaminants in
the river and to stabilize the flow
throughout the year.
The authority is selling trees and
shrubs at cost for buffer strips that
reduce both agricultural run-off and
erosion. It makes funding available
to farmers to retire buffer strips
along watercourses. Under the
Healthy Futures program this year
farmers and rural landowners are
receiving partial funding for many
types of projects to protect water
courses, such as retiring old wells,
upgrading septic systems,
stabilizing streambanks and retiring
fragile lands.
TWO MILLION TREES
This year the MVCA's
reforestation service will order
53,000 seedlings for spring planting,
World Day of Prayer services
were held in the Knox Presbyterian
Church, Belgrave, Friday, March 1
at 2 p.m.
The theme, Challenged to
Reconcile was carried out
throughout the service as those who
entered were offered bread and
salt.
Guests were welcomed by Alice
Nicholson, of - the Presbyterian
church, and the introduction was
given by Ivy Cloakey, Alice
Nicholson, Gloria Dow and
Margaret Siertsema.
Muriel Coultes conducted the
early part of the service with
assistance from Deanne Nethery and
Donna Shaw.
Joan Pederson gave a brief
background and read the scripture
from First Samuel, the story of
Abigail.
Freda Scott conducted the latter
part of the service after the showing
of the video, Challenged to
Reconcile.
As baskets of bread, raisins,
as well as sell at cost 5,100 large-
stock trees to landowners,
community groups and
municipalities. Last year the totals
were 40,000 seedlings and 3,900
large-stock trees.
Beard explained main planting
areas are along water courses, on
flood plains and on marginal
farmland.
And last year, on the property of
Marion Hindmarsh south of
Goderich, MVCA Chairman Alison
Lobb planted the two-millionth tree
the authority had provided in its 50-
year history.
GROUNDWATER
Because of the contamination of
Walkerton's water supply, people in
the Maitland Valley watershed who
have taken pure water for granted
are now more interested in how to
ensure the supply continues.
The MVCA is entering into a six-
year agreement with the Ministry of
the Environment to monitor
groundwater levels and quality
throughout the watershed. The
Ministry of the Environment will
monitor wells in each of the major
aquifers to see if levels are going up
or down over the long term and to
see if pollution is getting into those
aquifers.
Although the MVCA does not
yet know the testing locations,
Beard said they will be in places
without outside influences, such as
surface-water - contamination.
MVCA personnel will monitor
mostly Huron County locations; the
Upper Thames Conservation
Authority will help with Perth
County monitoring.
MVCA will help Huron and
Perth counties with their
groundwater-mapping project,
which the counties are undertaking
with funding from the Ministry of
the Environment. The study, which
must be completed this year, is to
discover where groundwater
supplies are" recharged and where
aquifers are vulnerable to
contamination.
SURFACE WATER
The MVCA has created a Water
Action, Team that has developed a
strategic plan involving many
organizations working on local
solutions to water-resource issues,

mixed grains, and grapes were
presented, the offering was taken by
Barbara Anderson and Deanne
Nethery. It will be given to the
Women's Inter-Church Council of .
Canada.
The offertory prayer and
benediction were given by Rev.
Cathrine Campbell.
A social time was held following
the service and the women enjoyed
the doughnuts and Mazurka's,
Romanian treats and the fruit from
the baskets.
Mabel's Moms met at their
regular time on Wednesday, Feb. 27.
Those who attended were Linda
Hess and Judith; Kim Higgins and
Shelby; Donna Raynard, Curtis and
Craig; Crystal Agombar, Nicholas
and Gage.
Their topic was Being Over-
invofved.
Sincere sympathy is extended to
Wilma and Ross Higgins from
Belgrave community of friends in
the sudden loss of Wilma's brother,
John Johnston.
May your thoughts and prayers be
with the families in their time of
sorrow.
Sincere sympathy is extended
from the community to Alice and
Klaas Storteboom in the recent loss
of Klaas's mother.
