Kim is the first 'moron County 4-H member in 30 years to win the Queen's Guineas, the highest 4-H beef club award in Ontario. The last to accomplish this was Murray Gatint in 1955. The girls, whose older sister Carol. also was a five -time winner of beef showmanship at the Royal, are the daughters of Lee and Lila Rintoul. Winning Queen's Guineas will be tough act to follow For the Lee Rintoul family of St. Helen's., 1985 will be a hard year to top. The three Rintoul daughters, Carol, Kim and Debbie, have long estab- lished a family tradition of bringing home ribbons. and trophies from 4-H beef shows across the county and province. However this was the year when 16 -year-old Kim won the big one breaking a 30 year Huron County drought by winning the prestigious Queen's Guineas , com- petition at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. ' The last Huron .4-H member to win the Guineas, • the highest 4-H beef club award in Ontario; was Murray Gaunt,the former MPP and now farm editor at CKNX. Interestingly, Mr. Gaunt. was a member of the same 4-H club — the, Luck - now Beef Club — and had. the same address RR 2, Lucknow — as the Rintouls. Kim's Angus-Chianina cross steer, Gus, won the championship in his weight class and won againin the ,judging. against aft other champions • and reserve champions at the Royal, before being purchased by Knob Hill Farms for $12.50 a pound and then donated to Sick Children's Hospital in • Toronto. Kim's picture will hang in the lobby of the hos- pital, her mother reported.. Gus, who just made the grade by gaining an average • df 2.32 pounds per day from May 1 to Oct. 1, weighed 1,195 pounds at the show and - was up to 1,210 by the time he was sold. Debbie, 14, was too young to enter the Guineas com- petition this year, but her 4-H steer won .the Charolais championship in the open class. She also won the reserve champion showman- ship award, competing .against the top showmen from 35 other counties across Ontario. Carol, 19, a five -time. winner in beef showmanship at the Royal, .was invited to be a judge of this year's Hereford showmanship class. While the Royal was un- doubtedly the highlight of the year for the girls, it was by no means their only ac- complishment. They wrap- ped up the year by collecting an astounding 16 awards among the three during the Huron County 4-H Awards Night at Clinton last Friday.
