Cattle show is small
but exciting
While the cattle show at the
Zurich Fair was not large, it was
exciting for the participants,
most of whom were 4-H mem-
bers.
Winners in the dairy showman-
ship class were first, Dianne
Steckle, R.R. 3 Bayfield; second,
Robert Steckle, R.R.3 Bayfield;
third, Adrian Rasenberg, R.R.3
Zurich.
In the senior holstein heifer
competition Dianne Steckle of
Bayfield again took first prize,
with Robert Steckle of Bayfield
taking second. Adrian Rasen-
berg of Zurich took first place
with his entry in the junior hols-
tein heifer competition.
In the beef showmanship
class Paul Klopp, R.R.3 Zurich,
took first place with Marty Becker
of Dashwood, second and Adrian
Rasenberg third. Kathy Love,
R.R.1 Zurich was fourth and
Robert Willert, R.R.1 Zurich was
fifth.
Robert Willert also took first
place with his entry in the senior
beef heifer competition with Paul
Klopp finishing second.
In the senior beef steers class,
Marty Becker of Dashwood was
first and Adrian Rasenberg of
Zurich was second.
Adrian Rasenberg also won the
B.S. Becker Award for the best
4-H calf and Paul Klopp won the
Zurich Chamber of Commerce
award for Campion 4-H show-
man.
IT WAS A BATTLE ALL THE WAY—Kathy Love of Zurich had a
hard time getting her calf to do what she wanted in the cattle'jud-
ging competition at the Zurich fair on Saturday. However, despite
opposition from her entry, Kathy managed to come 4th in the beef
showmanship category. photo by McKinley
Exeter suffers storm damage
(continued from page one)
In summing up the damage
Urquhart said, "We are so for-
tunate there were not any people
in the area, We closed down for
the night only 15 minutes before it
happened. I don't want to think
what could have happened if
some of our employees had been
on the job."
Prior to closing down for the
night, five persons had been
working in the receiving area and
Mrs. Leo Boyle was at her duties
in the weigh scales shed.
Surprisingly, only one injury
has been reported to date due to
the storm. A Jamaican worker at
Exeter Produce sustained a
broken arm and lacerations to his
foot when he was struck by a steel
rafter. The worker had been in
the seasonal workers' bunkhouse
at the time of the storm. The
other workers were out for the
evening.
"We were most fortunate that
way," commented Veri. He had
been at his home mopping up
water similar to most residents
when he learned of the damage to
his plant.
The injured worker had
managed to crawl to the highway
and was taken by a passing
motorist to the Veri home.
Some damage was also
reported at Veri's mobile home
park, but he said it was minimal.
Three homes shifted slightly on
their foundations, but he said
basically the homes stood up
extremely well to the fury of the
storm.
The storm hit shortly after 9:00
p.m.,, only` minutes after local
merchants had cleared their
merchandise from the sidewalks.
The minutes that followed were
frightening for most people,
although many were kept busy
mopping up water that was
forced through the smallest
cracks by the accompanying
wind.
People trapped in cars report
that their vehicles were shaken
by the wind and some feared they
would be tipped.
Huge limbs, many of them
weakened by the ice storm, came
crashing to the ground and hydro
service was lost for over five
avows -

GRAND BEND
SUMMER
CLEARANCE
1 1 /4 miles south of traffic
light on Highway 21
hours. Some isolated homes were
without hydro until Saturday at
noon.
Many homes and businesses
suffered broken signs and win-
dows, caused either by the severe
wind or from falling branches. A
couple of chimneys were knocked
down and many TV aerials were
snapped or bent to the ground.
One of the foot bridges at
Riverview Park was tipped over
and the fence around the
swimming pool was badly
twisted.
Garden sheds were tossed for
several hundred feet in some
places and debris from the
businesses most severely hit
were found scattered up to a
quarter of a mile away.
Backyards and some streets
were completely flooded.
After residents finished the
cleanup on the weekend, the
boulevards were again piled high
with broken limbs, reminiscent of
the scene after the March ice
storm.
Zurich 4-H
final meeting
The fourth and final meeting of
the Zurich 4-H Calf Club was
held at Carl Willert's on July 14.
We met at Edgar Willert's
where we judged beef cattle.
The president, Bill Deichert,
opened the meeting with the
4-H pledge. The four cattle were
in a pen and we then proceeded
to judge them. After we had
finished, we then went to Carl
Willert's where roll call was
taken, secretary's report was read
and our last quiz was done.
The quiz was completed and
'corrected and then Carl Willert
told us how to clip our 4-H
calves.
The meeting was adjourned
and lunch was served. Our
Achievement Day will be held on
Fair Day, July 24, when our
projects will be shown.
