Grey 4-H members name new club `Pizza Lovers'
Getting creative
The Grey 4-H Club held its second meeting and decided that they should be known as The
Grey Township Pizza Lovers from now on. Here, Wesley Terpstra, left, Lerissa Blake, centre,
and Katrina Gubelmann, right, were busy making turkey alfredo pizza, which the group
decided was a hit. (Photo submitted)
Riddell inducted into Hall of Fame
In 2017, four industry icons will
be inducted into the Ontario
Agricultural Hall of Fame. Robert
(Bob) Lang, Arthur Loughton, John
(Jack) Riddell and John (Jack)
Charles Steckley have all been
selected by the Ontario Agricultural
Hall of Fame Association as worthy
candidates based on their life-long
commitments to Ontario's
agriculture.
To qualify for this prestigious
recognition, inductees must have
demonstrated visionary leadership,
innovation and entrepreneurship in
the advancement of agriculture in
Ontario.
"We are constantly impressed
with the calibre of nominations we
receive each year," said Mary Lynn
McPherson, president of the Ontario
Agricultural Hall of Fame
Association. "The four inductees
for 2017 are indicative of this.
They have all had a profound impact
on the sectors of agriculture that
they worked within and
championed."
Bob Lang is well recognized for
the impact he has had in helping
livestock farmers learn about
programs and technologies that will
improve their management skills,
increase their efficiency and
productivity. He has also travelled
the globe speaking on genetic
improvement and developing new
markets for Canadian livestock.
With a career spanning time at the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture,
Food and Rural Affairs and
Eastern Breeders Inc., Lang was
also a key influencer in both the
International Livestock Manage-
ment School and Ontario
Association of Animal Breeders. He
was nominated by EastGen
Incorporated.
It's not everyone that has a variety
of cabbage named after them as
recognition of their great
contributions to the horticultural
sector but the Loughton cabbage
continues to be sold commercially to
this day. Arthur Loughton was
dedicated to horticultural crop
research and investigating new
technology that would benefit

How many times a week do you
eat pizza? That was the roll call for
the second pizza 4-H meeting on
Feb. 3. Most members said they ate
pizza somewhere around once a
week or once a month. So pizza is
quite a popular food.
After roll call, the 4-H members
split into groups and made three
different types of pizza. Roasted
vegetable pizza, turkey alfredo
pizza, and pizza supreme. While the
pizzas were baking, members played
a bit of trivia, then learned how
pizza can be healthy.
Then it was time to choose a name
for the club. It was a close vote, but
in the end the club became, "The
Grey Township Pizza Lovers". The
pizzas, when done baking,
were tasted by all members of the 4-
H club, and other than two tiny
slices, they were completely
CWea...ems
addition?
Let everyone know abou
your new bundle of joy!

The
Citizen
devoured! We voted on our
favourite pizza and the supreme
pizza won, but they were all
delicious.
Some BoxBack program labels
were donated by McCall Livestock
in Brussels and by the
Blake/Stevenson families. These
labels are sent back to the
manufacturer, Merial, in Quebec and
the 4-H club will receive $10 for
each label. Thank you to all those
involved for supporting our 4-H
club!
It was another great meeting of
pizza 4-H and next week's topic will
be "unusual pizzas" and the club
will meet again.
