He even received an invitation to judge Clydesdales in Edinburgh. Scotland, the home of the Clydesdales. For this trip, he arranged for his wife Marie to join him. Marie organized the many details of their life together on the farm and in their travels together. For instance, Marie made hun­ dreds of crepe paper mane flowers and washed the mane rolls. The rest of the family, Cheryl, Vaughn. Kerry and Avon, helped by washing the horses’ legs, polishing the harness, and often showed their own mare or gelding. One memory of the trip to Scotland that recurs to Aubrey, is that he was not appropriately dressed for judging. He remembers combing his hair to look neat, and then going to judge the show with­ out a cap. He was too casual. Too Canadian. All the other judges were wearing their heavy woolen tartan caps and tweed jackets. They did not seem ampsed. FAMILY Aubrey was raised on his father's farm near Auburn. He married Marie MacCrostie, an elementary school teacher in 1944. They raised four children, Cheryl, Vaughn, Kerry, and Avon. In Blyth, the family attended the Blyth United Church where Aubrey sang in the choir. “I love to sing,” he said. The musical talents have been passed on to all his children. Cheryl has taught music in her role as teacher, and Cheryl and Avon con­ tinue to sing in the church choir. A grandson, Dane, has studied classi­ cal singing. Aubrey is as fond of his family as they are of him. “They still ask me for advice,” he said to me. “That’s not bad. I'm 85 years old.” Aubrey showed his first Clydesdale at the Blyth Fall Fair in 1927 when he was only seven. Seven decades later, his love for the Scottish breed had not waned. “Showing horses was to him like acting is to an actor. It took on a life of its own,” his daughter Avon noted.

OPP ask farmers to be on the lookout The Ontario Provincial Police are asking farmers throughout Ontario to assist in the apprehension and detection of illegal, outdoor marijua­ na growing operations. The illegal marijuana will be ready to harvest by late August, early September. The OPP are ask­ ing farmers to report any suspicious activities they may sec around the I j rm I here are several areas where the growers will plant their seedlings during the spring months. One tech­ nique that is commonly used is uprooting a corn plant and replacing it with marijuana seedlings. This process is continued along a row of corn, planting the marijuana every five to 10 feet. They may also remove an entire plot of corn and replace it with the seedlings. The corn gives the mari­ juana plant excellent cover and makes detection very difficult. Other areas where plants have been located are along fences, creek beds, streams, and rivers and in areas of bushy trees. The marijuana plant can grow to a height of six feet, requires a moist environment and is usually planted on the south side of the field. Once seedlings are planted they require maintenance and water on a regular basis. This is the time when the ille­ gal growers will frequently trespass on the farm property. Once the plants are stable the offender may not return until they are harvested. Provincial Const. Don Shropshall of the Huron Detachment recom­ mends that, “at no point should the farmer approach the individual. Our main concern is the public’s safety - then the marijuana.” If something is noticed call the police or call Crime Stoppers at 1- 800-222-8477(TIPS). Look for foot­ prints along the edges of your crops, vehicles parked unattended in the morning and evening hours, discard­ ed seed trays, fertilizer bags and hid­ den maintenance tools. Huron OPP received their first call last week June 13 when a citizen found over 20 plants off Cardiff Road in Morris-Turnberry near a river. The plants were destroyed.
