8-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June Sth, 1977 C.aterpillar cycles regu Iated, weather Tent caterpillars, a nuis- ance to Ontario residents, won't cause long-term dam- age to trees. Professor M.K. Sears, Ont- ario Agriculture College ent- omologist, says that though tent caterpillars- defoliate large areas by feeding on leaves, most trees are hardy enaugh to produce new leaves thie same season., He says the current cater- pillar outbreak may have been aggravated by early sumnmer weather coinciding wxith the caterpillar's natural cycle of increase. It is impossible to determine where caterpillar outbreaks by will occur. "Caterpill ar cycles are pro- bably regulated by weather conditions and insect Para- sites. Since we can't wipe them out, we just have to wait to see where they will occur'." Dr. Sears says both Eastern tent and forest tent cater- pillars are common in Ont- ario. "To tell them apart remem- ber that only Eastern tent caterpillars construct tents by spinning silk in the forks of branches. People are noticing these now." Eastern tent caterpillars hear a white stripe on dark-coloured bodies. Forest For the third consecutive year, public libraries in the Central Ontario Regional Lib- rary System, serving the regions of Peel, York and, Durham, will be offering their patrons puppet shows, live theatre, music and dance by well-known Canadian artists. Marilyn Mandell, a third year student at York Univér- sity in Downsview, has been hired by the Regio-nal Library System for the sumnmer ta co-ordinate its 1977 Touring Arts Programn, sponsored thr- ough an Outreach Ontariao grant from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation. She will be responsible for helping libraries in the region hire performeys for a series of programs during the faîl and' winter of 1977. Last year, more ttian 35 performances were arranged for patrons in the region, and many performers played ta "standing roomn only" cro- wds. This year, with an increased grant and help from the Ontario Arts Coun- cil, Marilyn hopes ta see an increase in the number of programs mn the series, aend will work closely with the libraries ta publicize the events. "Patrons wlll be able ta enjoy some_ excellent Cana- dian talent right in their own community, and we hope even more people will attend the events than did in 1976" she said. Already, information on variaus artists, including det- ails on performance fees, staging and lighting require- mnents is being ga thered. Lists of suggested attractions have heen sent ta the libraries, and most will have made their selections by mid-June. Once this is done, co nfirmed book- ing can be made. t won't be long, therefore, until public library patrons can again enjoy some of the best entertainment any- where - thanks ta their local library, the Central Ontario Regional Library System and the Outreach Ontario pro- gram of the Ministry of Culture and Recreation. 2nd Annual1 :j UmNE BAZAA R *to beheld in the, Da.rlington Sports Centre!
