Cattlemen are concerned about falling prices The president of the Ontario Cattlemen's Association, Bob Gregson, says producers are con- cerned about a 15 per cent plunge in prices from May to early August. "Both beef and pork supplies in Canada and the United States have been higher during the last two months and this, together with the negative effect of hot weather on meat demand, are the major factors which have caused lower fed -cattle prices," says Mr. Gregson. This year's drought has com- poundedthe problem, he continues, since yearlings on grass, par- ticularly in Wes.tern Canada and the mid -southwestern United States, will have moved into feedlots earlier than expected. "This will contribute_ to, market bunching this quarter," Mr. Gregson predicts, "but could very well lead to lighter than expected marketings in the fourth quarter." However, on a positive note, the OCA president says that tripartite stabilizationpayments-were being triggered when beef producers were in need of support. Mr. Gregson told a recent OCA board of directors meeting that, "While there have been skeptics and others who would belittle the tripartite stabilization programs, the evidence of payments being triggered for slaughter cattle in the fourth quarter of 1987 and first and second quarters of 1988 should make believers out of many cattlemen." The fundamental principle of tripartite stabilization is that it is "stop loss" or non -incentive. "The program models try to duplicate the reality of the cattle -feeding business and they do a very good job of that in a -national context." Mr. Gregson goes on to say that the proposed changes to a monthly - based program will be more equitable for producers who market seasonally and OCA lobby efforts were responsible for the recom- mendation by the National Beef Stabilization Committee to change to a monthly basis. "If the fed cattle market stays where it is for verylong, there will be a large stabilization payment in the third quarter because higher feed prices will be factored into the costs which will raise the support level." Department responds to a truck fire Wingham Fire Dept. Chief Harley Gaunt reported only one fire in the past week. On Aug. 21, the department re sponded to a report of a truck fire at Lot 38, Concession C of Howick Township. The 1979 Dodge half -ton, owned by Mike Mann, suffered about $1,000 damage in the blaze. Ne complications in extinguishing the fire were reported. MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES official Blake Edwards (left) presents long-time area resident Borden Jenkins with a plaque from the ministry. The plaque recognizes Mr. Jenkins' 25 years of service in the training of new hunters. Borden JenkIngs recognized for training of local hunters Wingham resident Borden Jenkins. received a plaque from the Ministry of Natural Resources in recognition of his 25 years of service as an in- structor in the Ontario hunter education program. M. Jenkins has been involved in the provincially -regulated instruc- tion courses since 1963, but was actively involved in rifle instruction much earlier. Mr. Jenkins began educating new hunters about 1942, long before the hunter education program was started. Since then he has helped hundreds of people to become safer, more skilled hunters. His record is sterling. In the over 40 years he has been instructing, not one of his students has been involved in a rifle -related accident. The course which Mr. Jenkins offers consists of 26 hours of in- struction designed to ensure that pupils become "safe, ethical, knowledgeable, skilled hunters". His next class starts next week. Before an Ontario citizen can receive a.. hunting. licence, -he or. she must complete an exam prepared by the provincial government. Mr: Jenkins' course prepares students for that exam. Through the effort of people like Mr. Jenkins, hunting -related ac- cidents have decreased drama- tically in the last 25 years. In 1960 there were a total of 154 hunting related accidents throughout the province, 43 of them fatal. Those numbers fell to 36 accidents and six fatalities in 1'' 5. Turnberry rezoning (Continued from Page 1) area are applicants to the zoning change. In fact, one resident, Gordon Dale, has filed a letter of objection to the proposed change. Mrs. Baker replied the shape of the area has been determined by the floodplain and there is very little that can be done about that. She also asked why the people who are ob- jecting have never attended a meeting. In all fairness, Mr. Tousaw said last week's meeting was not a public meeting to deal with the plan amendment, but a meeting of council for discussion purposes only. He said he had told Mr. Dale earlier in the day that it would not be necessary for him to attend. While Mr. Tousaw said he could see merit in rezoning the lands immediately adjacent to the foundry industrial, he said he was concerned about where to draw the line. When Mrs. Neill asked what type of industry might be locating in the area, Mr. Tousaw said that would be up to council. "No matter what we do, we'll make somebody upset," noted Councillor Nelson Underwood, who said it had been his understanding that the rezoning would include a mixture of heavy industry with lighter businesses locating on the fringe next to the nearby residences. Reeve Brian McBurney suggested zoning the top northeast corner of the area industrial -commercial and the outlying lots "greenbelt". However, Mr. Baker vehemently disagreed, saying the area in the greenbelt would be virtually useless. "We could then attempt to rectify the other problems through status zoning," said Mr. Tousaw. Finally, after some further dis- cussion, council members asked that the county planning department design a plan to designate Lots 311 to 320 and 328 to 333 as light industrial - commercial. They also are proposing to status zone the Canadian Crane Rentals business property for its current use and related uses. Also, special zoning will be sought for Wingham Auto - Electric. While council struggled to reach a consensus in the matter, it appeared that at least two of the parties in- volved were not satisfied or still had questions — the Neills appeared worried that the rezoning may be going too far and the Bakers seemed to feel it was not going far enough. A public meeting to discuss the plan amendment application will be held SepC 20.
