Varna by Joan Beierling VARNA - A few Varna area girls, Julie Healy, Julie Kalbfleisch, Trish McAsh, and Heather Beier - ling, members of the Seaforth and District High School All Girls Marching Band on Sunday, July 21 performed at the Toronto Skydome at field level. The Band left Seaforth at 2 p.m. with their bus and truck for the long drive to Toronto. They arrived at 4:30 and drove down into the bowels of the Sky Dome right down to their dressing room which fronted on the field level. They were given the dressing room for I the visiting teams. The lush change- !, rooms still had the names of the Hamilton Tiger Cats above the cu- bicles. The Band Director and Drum Major were taken out in the field t by the Michael Caplan Entertain- ment Inc. field workers who had hired them to entertain the Tual ' Lawyers of America Convention. 1 They were to entertain along with the Agro Cheerleaders and the Keith Burton Band. The band played three times for a total of about 35 minutes using their pin wheel and straight line field drills. The band was hired be- cause of unique selection of music and their tartan uniforms and the i tf►ct they are an all girls band. Their ?presentations were met with cnthu- siaSm and applause. They were paid $1070 for 35 minute which the band considered the opportunity of a life time. How Many entertainment groups from a small time get the opportunity to travel to Toronto to entertain at the Sky Dome? Dennis Mount went down and played a solo with the band. Charles Kalbfleisch is the leader of this band. Personals A Varna -Goshen Community Bridal Shower was held for Myra Postill, daughter of Linda and Pete, last Tuesday evening at the Varna United Church. Willie Laurie gave the opening remarks followed by Valerie Laurie with Sword Dance, A Recitation by Carol Simons, Piano Solo "Memo- ry" by Kim Taylor and a Scottish li.tlt by Heather Laurie. The most hilarious skit was enti- tled "Making Up With Myra" by Lorraine Taylor as the commenta- tor, Shirley Hill acting as Myra and Willi Laurie was undercover as Myra's magical hands. This skit stole the show! Willi Laurie read the address ands Myra opened many lovely gifts. Myra and her fiance Larry Parsons from the Staffa arca will be married on August 10 and wished a wonder- ful day. -- Lakeside service The Annual Varna -Goshen Lake- side Service held last Sunday at the Stanley Township Park, despite the weather brought a large congrega- tion and service was held under the pavilion while the wind blew and it rained. The sermon "Calming the Storm" was very appropriate. Spe- cial music was by Dennis and Ke- vin Mount and Julie with Charles Kalbfleisch directing them. A delicious "Pot Blessing" meal followed by games. Family teams gathered a number of articles for a scavenger hunt and had a memory test on a tray of all sorts. Points were gathered and accumulated on both games. The George Phillips family won first prize and second went to the Everet Van Slighten- horst family. The_ children cnjoyed_water bal- loon races, egg and spoon relay, wet sponge and bottle relay, 3 - legged races, bean bag throw and a candy scramble for the finale. Prizes were given on Guess the number of candies in a jar to the adult Carol Finlay guessing 122 ex- actly right. Leanne Keys guessing 120 being the closest child. The Laurie family (7 members) were the largest family present. The old- est person present was Elmer Hayter. George and Olive Phillips had the closest Anniversary which was July 22. Olive Phillips and her grandson Joey Phillips had the clos- est birthday which was July 30. Each adult was to take an amount of string but not told for what pur- pose. They were later told to meas- ure their waist with it. Doris Wil- son won the prize as she took the exact amount needed. Next Sunday the Combined Var-1 na Goshen Church Service will be held rill Goshen United Church at 10:30 a.m., the following service August 18 will be held in Varna Church at 10:30 a.m. Milk quota refunds are likely MISSISSAUGA - Total milk marketings to the Milk Marketing Board declined by 4.1 percent in June of 1991 compared to June of 1990. This is the fifth consecutive month of declines in total market- ings. Compared to the same month a year ago decreases were 1.2, 1.4, and 1.8 percent in March, April, and May respectively. These decreases were certainly - not unexpected. If anything, one might have expected larger drops as the adjustment to the six percent reduction in quota took place. Since the adjustments didn't oc- cur, Ontario will end up in an over - quota situation. The early indications are that July marketings will show a marginally bigger drop than in June, around five percent. On a more positive note, the fall supply situation is better than other- wise might have been the case. Part of the explanation relates to pro- ducers wanting to maintain produc- tion potential to ensure they meet the new fall production mainenance requirements in place for the 1991- 92 dairy year. To qualify for over -quota levy re- funds, during the 1990-91 dairy year, producers had to ship more than 26 percent of their annual mar- ket sharing quota (MSQ) during the months.of September, October, and November 1990 and have over - quota production at the end of the dairy year. Refunds are limited to qualifying shipments. That means a producer who shipped 28 percent of his or her MSQ in the fall cannot receive over -quota levy refunds on shipments over 102 percent under this program. From a marketing perspective, the fall milk supply situation looks good says the Milk Board. Produc- ers have been advised that a quota reduction on August 1, 1991, is a virtual certainty. The magnitude is unknown at this stage and will be determined at the end -of -July Cana- dian Milk Supply Management Committee meeting in Ottawa. However, based on recent con- sumption trends, it appears as though the cut will be of the same magnitude as last year.
