she waits to show off her dog, Fluff, in the pet show
at Judith Gooderham Park, Monday. The pet show,
sponsored by the Summer Special Events
Program, attracted a large number of entries in-

Vandalism worse...
-*from page 1
incidents. Most trustees indicated vandalism is
something that just has to be lived with and
nothing can be done. about. Board chairman
John Elliott went so far as to indicate the less
said about vandalism the better.
Elliott said a police chief in the county told
some trustees that media publicity of van-
dalism encourages vandals.
Lucknow trustee Marion Zinn was in obvious
agreement with the chief and suggested that
reporters at the board of education meeting
play down vandalism.
Trustees were also at a loss to explain why
Clinton was so much harder hit than any other.
school. Not only do vandals do'more damage at
Central Huron they are far more consistent.
From April to June vandals in Clinton cost the
board $1,275.25 in 41 incidents of vandalism.
South Huron was another favorite spot for
vandals who, in' 15 incidents, caused $789.12
worth of damage. Third in line was Clinton
Public School with 14 incidents that cost $179.04.
Bluemold in
20 per cent
of tobacco farms
Blue mold can be found
on up to 20 per cent of the
tobacco farms in Ontario
to some degree. The main
area of concentration of
the disease is presently
from. Tillsonburg to
Simcoe, in Oxford,
Norfolk-, - and -Brant
counties.
At this time, there are
no effective chemicals
registered .for use in
Canada available to
tobacco growers. A
change in warmer, drier
weather conditions is the
best hope to stop the
spread of this disease.
Most of the tobacco
acreage is insured with
the Ontario Crop
Insurance Commission
and some of the rest is
covered by private
companies. The Crop
Insurance Commisrsion
has stated that blue mold
will be treated as an
insured peril under the
policy and steps are now
taken to inspect crop Toss
claims.
The fungus spreads by
spores and the severity of
the disease increases
under humid or wet
condiations at tem-
peratures below 16
degrees C. The infection
first appears as yellowish
spots on the upper sur-
face of the leaves of the
plant. As the disease
develops, a bluish -grey
growth appears on the
underside of the leaf and
'spores are produced and
disseminated' from this
growth.
While vegetable crops
like tomatoes, peppers,
and eggplant are listed as
hosts of the blue mold
fungus, the particular
strain of the fungus that
usually attacks tobacco is
not likely to infect these
.other crops. There are a
number of fungicides
registered for use on
vegetable crops that -are
effective, against • blue
mold, including maneh,
niancozeb, and zin'eb.
Tomatoes being sprayed
on a regular program to
control' other fungus
diseases .would he
protected against blue
mold in any event.
,.Other vegetables -
grain, corn, white beans,
soybeans, forages,
grasses and most or-
namentals - are not
susceptible to the tobacco
blue mold fungus.
Trustees were not prepared to lay any blame
for the vandalism. Elliott said there was no
indication students were causing the problem
claiming it could be done on weekends or after
school.
The chairman added the only other thing he
could think of was that Central Huron was used
for many special courses students are bused
into the school to take. He said the students
from outside the area may not have the pride in
the school students from Clinton would have.
No action was taken to delve into the problem
of vandalism any further. The board seemed
prepared to accept the suggestion of some
police and turn the other cheek. ,No indication
was given if administrators would continue tb
monitor vandalism.
Land deal...

A letter will be sent to Hensall village council

Reps tour Maitland watershed area
Water manag.ement
and conservation
programs formed the
theme for a watershed
tour recently conducted
by the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority.
Over 7p representatives
from th.e Authority's
member municipalities,
engineering firms, the
Ontario Ministries of
Agriculture and Food,
Natural Resources and
Environment, and the
Maitland' Conservation
Foundation were on hand
for site inspections in the,
western end of the
Maitland River drainage
area.
The one day tour began
at the Gorrie Con-
servation Area where
repair work to the Gorrie
dam has gotten un-
derway. The . dike and
south wing wall that were
washed out during a flood
in May of 1974 are being
replaced , by Machan
Construction of Monkton,
Ontario. Concrete repairs
and rip -rap work on the
upstream and down-
stream sides of the dam
will also be completed by
the contractor at a total
cost of $98,000. Following
a summary of the Gorrie-
project, tour delegates
were taken to observe the
completed repair work at
the Bluevale dam.
o'me effective and
inexpensive means ,of
protecting soil w,ere
described at the
Authority's erosion
control demonstration
located on the site of the
1978 International
Plowing Match. The tour
delegates were shown
how the use of grassed
waterways, properly
protected drain outlets
and gully stabilization
can preVenr the loss of
valuable farm land.
Brief stops .were,,made
in the Lower Town
Wingham area to observe
the results of the Turn -
berry Floodplain
Acquisition program, and
at the Wawanosh Lake
property where some of
the potential
management approaches
were described.
Following lunch in
Lucknow, delegates
visited the Port Albert
Fishway and surveyed
the erosion problem at
the mouth of the Nine
Mile River. The
Authority has been
requested by the
Township of Ashfield to
begi,nr_a_. _preliminary
study of the erosion
causes alio rates in an
effort to identify solutions
that will prevent further
loss of soil from c\ottage
lots and the beach area.
Severe gully erosion
problems were obserbved
at a sample gully along
the Lake Huron shoreline
south of Goderich. The
Experience '79 Gully
Monitoring team outlined
why and how they are
measuring sediment
load,•discharge and
erosion rates on selected
gullies within the study
area defined in the 1978
Lake Huron Waterfront
Study. They are also
conducting " a survey
among local cottage and
farm land owners in
order to,summarize past
history and current
changes in land use
around the eroding area.
The tour was concluded
at the M.V,C.A.
Administrative
Headquarter in
Wroxeter, - where
dele ates were en -
cool -aged to contact staff
and members at any time
for detailed information
on Authority projects.
Under the direction of
worthwhile projects. The
Authority hired a total of
22 students with a grant
provided by the Ontario
Youth Secreteriate.
Field staff members
have assisted . with
development at several of
the Conservation areas.
Fencing and parking. lot
improvements have been'
undertakenat the Maple
Keys Sugar Bush and
boardwalks have been
installed to improve
pedestrian traffic on the
trails.
Shade rafts have been
constructed for some of
the fish ponds, and
wildlife shelters have
been prepared and
located at the Wawanosh
Valley Conservation
Area. A fldating dock was
designed and installed at
the Pioneer Conservation
Area, in an effort to make
diving and swimming
less hazardous around
the Bluevaledam.
Technical projects are
progressing quite well for
summer .1979. The
thermography in-
terpretation , and source
area identification is
nearing completion. A
the reglar Authority summary report will be
staff, the Experience '79 prepared by the Resource
students have been •• Technician so that the
working on some very Authority will have an
accurate account of the
location of significant
springs within the study
area designated in 1978.
This information would
assist the Authority in
knowing where to offer'
extension services
designed to protect the
headwater / and
-significant ,recharge
areas for th.e Dickies
Creek system.
The Gully Monitoring
team will be preparing .a
summary reportto
outline the testing
techniques and data
accumulated through the
research conducted this
summer. The work done
by the two students will
give the Authority staff a
better idea of specific
problems in specific
gullies that are located in
the Lake Huron Water-
front Study area.
' The Community
Relations Technical
Assistant has worked on
projects ranging from
program planning two
design and construction
of an Authority float. She
has also collected in-
formation and brochures
for distribution from the
Authority office, and has
written articles for the
Rocky Raccoon bi-weekly
news column.
