Could you repeat that?
Next to eyesight, hearing is our
most important sense. Loss of
hearing means that a vital warning
device is impaired. Employees who
constantly work in a noisy environ-
ment without wearing hearing
protection will experience hearing
loss.
The intensity of sound --or noise
level --is measured in a unit called a
decibel. Normal conversation
measures about 65 decibels. A
noise level of 85 decibels is con-
sidered the maximum for eight
hours of maximum exposure. Even
brief exposure to noise measured at
120 decibels can contribute to
hearing loss.
Over time, repeated exposure to
sounds that cause a temporary
hearing loss can gradually lead to
permanent, noise -induced hearing
loss. Repeated exposure to noise
from lawnmowers, chainsaws and
other loud equipment will do
damage to your hearing. To prevent
this from happening, or to stop
further hearing loss, you must wear
proper hearing protection in all
noisy environments.
Regardless of the type of protec-
tion which you choose, ear plugs or
muffs, make sure that it is correct
for the job. It should be comfor-

noise and never be modified in any
way. You should keep the protec-

replacing ear cushions or plugs that
are no longer pliable. Check
regularly for wear and tear and

Great sport for
spectators too

the action isn't only for the teams.
Spectators couldn't help but en-
courage the top five teams in On-
tario as they demonstrated their
skills in rounding up the numbered
cattle.
Team penning works like this.
Although there is no standard
arena size, an ideal course is about
300 feet by 160 feet.
A team of three riders is given
two minutes to cut three designated
steers out of between 15 and 30
head, then move them to the op-
posite end of the arena and haze
them into a small pen. If more than
four steers cross a foul line, drawn
at 40 or 60 per cent away from the
area the cattle are located, the team
in eliminated.
The sport originated in California
around 1948 and relies on the
quarter horse, an old breed founded
in Texas, to get the job done.
A quarter horse stud book was
started in 1940 and today it's the
largest equine registry in the world
with an excess of three million
entries, said Holm.
Gaining in popularity, the sport
has seen large sponsors eager to see
the best compete against the best.
One of the largest winnings to date
in team penning was for $100,000.
