ATGLEN (Chester) The Chester County 4-H Dairy Awards Banquet was held at the West Fallowship Day School. Over 100 4-H members, parents, and guests enjoyed the evening's activities which included an inspi rational slide presentation by Mike King of his cross-country wheelchair trip. Mike encouraged the 4-H members to strive for their goals reminding them that each has the same personal motivation that Mike used in crossing the country- but they must choose to use it. Tiffany Yeager, the Chester County Dairy Princess, presented a dynamic puppet show entitled. “To Tell the Real Truth.” While very entertaining, the show also educated the audience of the nutri tional advantages to dairy pro ducts, especially milk. An exciting part of the evening for the 4-H members present was the awards ceremony. County Dairy Agent Dave Swartz pre sented the awards based on excel lence in the showring and in com- pletion of project books. Dwight Stoltzfus of Morgantown had the high project book score in the county and thus was awarded a plaque sponsored by Top-O-Hill Farms of Downingtown. Noel Schcib received an award for her high dairy blue form score, an indication of her involvement and commitment to the Chester Coun- ty 4-H Dairy Program. Swartz pre sented each dairy club leader with a green 4-H emblazoned handker Tucquan Creek Designated As Scenic River HARRISBURG (Dauphin) The Tucquan Creek is one step closer to being designated as a Pennsylvania Scenic River. The Senate has unanimously approved legislation, sponsored by Senator Noah Wenger (R-36), which would officially recognize the Tucquan Creek and the Clark Run Tributary as part of the state’s Scenic River system. “As part of the Scenic River system, the Tucquan Creek will be given special protections to pro mote the free flow of the water way and to conserve its natural and scenic beauty,” explained Wenger. Wenger added that not every creek or river can be designed as “Scenic.” Designated waterways must possess certain qualities which give them special signifi cance. Rivers, streams, and creeks which arc of historic, recreational or pastoral significance are eligi ble for designation as a Scenic River and, thus, given special protection. The Tucquan Creek was the subject of a comprehensive study to determine its potential as a Scenic River. The Creek played a major role in the early history of the area when Indians and early settlers used the creek as an avenue of transportation. In the 1800’s, its adjoining forests were logged. Today, many rely on the Creek for farm irrigation and for recreational activities. The Tuc quan Creek Water Basin is also heavily wooded and provides unique habitat to plant and animal life giving the Creek environmen tal significance. The Creek itself is home to a variety of fish, and the wooded area surrounding the waterway supports a rare fern species. “Designating a river or creek as a Scenic waterway takes a lot of hard work and cooperation Chester County 4-H Dairy Club Awards chief saying they should, “...use it for all the sweat and tears that come from being a 4-H club lead er.” Other member awards are as follows: Charles Young, West Grove, Grand Champion Ayrshire.
