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

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.
