The Citizen, 1992-01-29, Page 12PAGE 12. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29,1992. Goderich hosts Presbyterial The annual meeting of Huron- Perth Presbyterial United Church Women was held at North St. United Church, Goderich, on Jan. 20. One hundred and seventy women attended including a bus­ load of 37 leaving from Stratford. Verna Burgin, President-elect welcomed the members, and declared the meeting open for busi­ ness. The theme “You in Your Small Corner” was portrayed through Stewardship and Finance, Susan Howson, Blyth, reporting; Christian Development reported by Marian Wreford, Stratford; Jean Mathers, Bluevale did Church in Society; World Outreach looked at from the point of view of Betty Graber, Brussels; Shirley Hackett, Stratford, for Communications and Marjorie Johns, Exeter reporting on Leadership Development. 1991 was a good year for United Church Women. In spite of the recession givings to Mission & Ser­ vice funds were down only less than one percent. Special offerings for both the 30th Anniversary of United Church Women; and travel expenses for Kenyan women visit­ ing in May were called for, through the local U.C.W.'s A new United Church project, which is rural development in Ethiopia, was explained by Muriel Coultes, Belgrave, who is the Presi­ dent of London Conference United Church Women. Mrs. Coultes took charge of the installation of the 1992 officers for Huron-Perth Presbyterial U.C.W. The slate of officers was presented by Helen Anderson, Tavistock, nominations chairperson. The induction was solemnized by Rev. Bob Ball of North Street United Church. During the day, lively singsongs were led by Rev. Kathy Urbasik-Hindley, associate minister of the host church. Vema Burgin was returned for a third year as president. She is from Kirkton. Stewardship & Finance, Susan Howson, Blyth; 1st Vice President is Betty Graber, Brussels; Secretary, Joyce Dowson, Varna; Treasurer, Beth Tubb, Mitchell. In a lighter vein, Mrs. Coultes talked about the value of hugs and led the group in participating in the side-to-side hug, the A-line hug and the back to front hug. Home Care offers clients new service The Huron County Home Care program has been providing a new service for their clients. During the Spring and Fall of 1991, a chaplaincy student from the Supervised Pastoral Education pro­ gram (S.P.E.) at Huronview has been associated with Home Care. In the Spring, chaplaincy services were provided by Bonnie Empson from Goderich and during the Fall services have been provided by Barb Penton from Stratford. S.P.E. is supervised education in the arts and skills of pastoral care and pas­ toral counselling. While connected with the Home Care program, the students were available to any clients adjusting to a major change in their lives, such as loss of a spouse or inability to continue with a familiar lifestyle. Karen Fry, Home Care Co-ordi­ nator, says: “People who are griev­ ing a loss of any kind need to tell their story to someone who has the time to really listen. A chaplaincy counsellor can help people find meaning in their lives in a way that can increase their spiritual well­ being.” Asked to comment on her role, Barb Penton says: “Wholeness encompasses the total person, phys­ ically, emotionally and spiritually.” Caring pastorally often enables people to draw more effectively on their spiritual and emotional strengths and resources. The Huron County Home Care program seeks to provide services which will allow individuals and families to make choices and to gain satisfaction from living. Offer­ ing a chaplaincy service to clients is a first for any Home Care pro­ gram in the province. Balanced ration produces normal fat yield Continued from page 11 energy to be excreted from the cow's body. Undegradable intake protein (UIP) is protein that "bypasses" digestion in the rumen. UIP levels in a ration should be at 35 to 40 percent of total protein intake. Too little UIP reduces both milk and protein yield. A proper balance of both DIP and UIP will encourage the optimum yield of milk components. Consider the forage type currently being feel to determine what type of protein source is required, (ie. Haylage is high in DIP and there­ fore requires a protein source high in UIP). Control Non Structural Carbohydrate Level. Non- structural carbohydrates (NSC) consist of sugars and starches which are rapidly digested in the rumen. Balance NSC level at 40 percent of the ration to maximize energy intake. Maximize Forage Intake. As a ruminant, the cow has a definite requirement for fibre (28-31 percent Neutral Detergent Fibre - NDF) to promote cud chewing, rumen function, fat production and general health. Since forages tend to be the cheapest ration ingredient, maximizing forage intake is economically as well as nutritionally favourable. Avoid feeding finely-chopped forages or fully chopped grains which reduce "effective" fibre levels in the ration and may depress fat test. Proper Feeding Sequence. Feed forage, preferably some dry hay, before grain and limit the amount of grain per meal to 3-4 kg. This helps maintain rumen environ­ ment at a stable pH level (optimum for fibre digesters) and encourages intake. Evaluate Feed Additives. Examine the economics of any additive used to influence fat or protein yield (buffers, fat, yeast). Determine if the additive actually results in increased milk or component yield. Minimize Energy Deficiency in Early Lactation. Ensure cows calve at an optimum body - condition score (3.5-4.0) and provide a high energy ration in. early lactation. Fat and protein production is directly influenced by the body condition of cows at calving and at peak production. Thin cows with little body fat stores have low peak yields of milk, fat, and protein, even on high energy rations. The fat and protein yield in milk can be altered through changes in breeding and feeding programs. Remember, any significant emphasis on feeding to increase protein yield, can negatively effect the fat yield. Normal fat and protein yields can best be obtained by feeding a balanced ration which is the key in allowing the dairy cow to express her genetic potential for optimum milk, fat and protein production. Police and youth at ’PLAY’ On Jan. 15, the Ontario Provin­ cial Police in Huron County started participation in the 1991/92 Police Law and Youth (PLAY) program. The objective to the program is to bring Police and youth together, increasing respect and appreciation between Police Officers and young people. Kellogg Canada Inc., together with the Toronto Maple Leaf Hock­ ey Club are providing the 1991-92 Hockey Collectors Album for dis­ tribution to children under 16 years of age. This distribution will be handled by the Community Polic­ ing Officers from the Detachments at Exeter, Goderich and Wingham. Students will fill out a form located in the album for a chance to jjQ to Toronto and attend a Toronto Maple Leaf vs. Chicago Black Hawks game on Saturday, February 29. Each winner will be accom­ panied by a member of the Ontario Provincial Police. The ballot forms are to be deposited in draw boxes at Exeter, Goderich and Wingham Detach­ ments during business hours (Mon­ day to Friday - 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) The ballot boxes will be collected by Const. Marshall on Feb. 17, 1992 and taken to O.P.P. Head­ quarters in Mount Forest, where a representative of Kellogg Canada Inc., will draw out the winning stu­ dents. All winners will be notified by telephone. Participation is restricted to the youth in the communities that the O.P.P. serve in Huron County. rc ......... — If you want to breatheIM tomorrow, O save the Tropical Rain &s> ^ForesS J . .
