Dave Sykes) 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.

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. ••••••••••••O•••.•••••••••••••••e•.•e••.•.••••••••• • • • • • • • • • • THIS SEASON'S BEST...PERFECT •FOR•PICK•LING...
