To Register Please Call 524-9635 Heather Redick, Playhouse general manager, leaving after eight years GRAND BEND - Heather Redick, General Manager of the Huron Country Playhouse is moving on after eight years of service. Heather first joined the Huron Country Playhouse staff in 1980 with the objective of increasing both subscription and individual ticket sales. Her marketing plan was the first of its kind at the Playhouse and in- dividual ticket sales increased by nearly 30 pier cent over prior seasons, subscription sales also gained substantially. Heather was also responsible for establishing good work- ing relations with the media, other perform- ing arts groups and surrounding communities. As a result of her success in marketing, Heather was promoted to director of fund raising. Under her co-ordination, both private and corporate fund raising were in- creased, and new, more varied and more challenging events were added to the roster of fund raising events at Huron Country Playhouse. Heather also initiated the Huron Country Playhouse involvement in the Win- tario Arts Challenge Fund, a successful three year fund raising drive, as well as Playhouse participation in the Investment In The Arts Program in 1986. In early 1981, Heather was promoted to the position of general manager. Under her management Huron Country Playhouse has become one of the largest and most suc- cessful summer theatres — not only in On- tario but also in'Canada. Heather initiated the development of Playhouse II, along with handicap facilities, renovated public washrooms, the new work shop, breezeway TO YOUR NEAREST HENSAL.L CO-OP RECEIVING ELEVATOR Now 2 locations to receive soybeans and corn Help increase the market share of the only Farmer - Owned Comprehensive soybean and corn dealer in the industry a and the addition of a balcony to the main theatre. In 1984, Heather was the recipient of the Victor Polley Award for Arts Administra- tion/Arts Facilities Management. Heather hasn't made any final decisions about her future but in the few short days she's been away from the Playhouse, she says she has missed it already. Heather leaves the playhouse in a stable and secure financial position. David Bannister, Presi- dent of the, Board of Directors for Huron Country Playhouse says of Heather's move, "We'll certainly miss Heather's talent and expertise. She was a real asset to our Com- pany. The fact that the Playhouse is in good shape from both a financial and manage- ment point of view, is a great credit to her ability. We are also fortunate to have an ex- cellent administrative staff in place at the theatre to keep the Playhouse on a smooth course." - Crop consulting franchise opens CROPCO, a crop consulting franchise company, opened its new headquarters in Centralia on Thursday, September 3rd. The Minister of Agriculture and Food for Ontario, the Honourable Jack Riddell was on hand, along with Gary Baker, a representative of the municipal govern- ment, to cut the ribbon unveiling the new sign. The services provided by crop con- sultants were explained by the staff. One of the services is the Soil Management Program. A farm is divided into sampling areas based on soil type, previous cropp- ing patterns, and client's requirements. A minimum of four samples per 100 acres and an average of 40-60 soil cores per sam- ple are taken. • "A soil test is only as good as the sam- ple", said Dave Wheeler, a company representative who does the soil sampling out of his home in the Brussels area. Farmers on the program get soil analysis for: ..macronutrientssu_Cli,as..Phosphorus &_ _ Potassium, vital micronutrients such as Zinc and Manganese as well as soil proper- ties such as pH and organic matter. The soil inventory, book becomes a permanent record and there is space to add field notes throughout the growing season. On the basis of soil inventory fertilizer recom- mendations are made by Cropco agronomists to suit the individual farmer. Crop Scouting is another innovative ser- vice offered by CROPCO consultants. Fields are walked, once crops have emerg- ed, to record plant stands, soil condition, and to identify weeds, insects, and diseases. Reports are written and any pro- blems are brought to the farmer's atten- tion. In many cases this is crucial in being, able to solve the problem before it causes yield losses. The new company has had software written to generate crop budgets and reports on their computers. Using a farmer's expected costs and yields a budget is prepared in spring. After harvest information is completed, a final year summary report can be printed to help pin- point areas for cost saving in future crop production. "Crop consulting is going to become more important in the future as Canadian farmers compete with other countries for markets", said agronomist Anne Verhallen in her comments on future development in crop consulting. "Farmers need to take advantage of everything they can to improve their situation". CROPCO employs five people and has already opened two franchise offices. One in Tiverton, serving Bruce County, owned and operated by Friedrich Suhr. The other is run by Eric Devlaeminck from his Cen- tralia area farmhouse, serving clients in South Huron and North Middlesex.
