Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, April 28, 1982, 3 Successful Clarke team Wildflower walk at Enniskillen Sun day Dy: Wendy Procher In the Cossa "A" Junior Basketball Tournament held at Clarke High School on Saturday, March 6th, 1982, Clarke's Junior Boys Basket- ball Team had the Cham- pionship Title right in the basket. This is a first in Clarke's history for Clarke to win a Cossa Basketball Champion- ship. In the final game of that tournament, Clarke beat the opposing team, Lakefield, 55-45. This outstanding teamn of Clarkes during the season won one tournament, placed second in another and lost in the Consolation Finals of a third tournament. What makes people's eyes open wde for the future of this team is the calculations of the season's records. For the season, the Clarke Junior Boys team made- an 7 AroagndI Caught In The Mi-Chip Era The Mini-Chip or electronic era which has brought about the proliferation of computers for a host of uses is a fast mov- ing era almost to the point of mnd boggling. What is in use to- day could well be obsolete tomorrow and in many cases this is an actual fact. Last week we had the opportunity to speak to the area representative of Compugraphic who outlined what we could expect in the future and what was in uise today. Com- pugrahpics is one of the leading companies invoived in the design and manufacture of type setting equipment for the graphic arts industry in North America. The pace of change is rapid and the utilization of new equip- ment has been extending as rapidly. Here at the Orono Times we touch only a small part of the computerized era in type setting but the change at this level is tremendous. In 1972 we installed our first computerized type setting equipment which three years ago was taken off the market and as of February lst, 1983 the company will flot maintain a parts catalogue or parts front this particular machine. The Editwriter with video screen and a multitude of new op- tions over our original computerized typesetter vas îInstalled at the Orono Times early in 1981. t has many advantages over the original equipment. The Editwriter first came on the market in late sumrmer of 1975 but now has given to new developments and progress in the computer. In fact Compugraphics has stopped producing the Editwriter and now has a whole new family of computeriz- ed typesetters which can also be utilized for many other pur- poses including inventory control, bookkeeping etc. Compugraphic does guarantee parts, supplies and maintenance service for the Editwriter for the next seven yers. Eventually it, with other developments as our first place of equipment will end up with no back up. Fortunately, there are 4000 such units in operation in Ontario at this time. The equipment, itself, is maintenance free oF at least almost maintenance free and thus does have an extended live-span over the old mechanical typesetters. Yet obsolescence does nulify any advantage the machine has as to extended life-span. The companies such as Compugraphic must keep pace with ail new developments to stay in business. They cannot con- tinue to produce a machine that is outdated and stîll expect to stay in top position in the industry or be in business at ail. We are caught in the technical age of the mini-chip and elec- tronics. It's a wonderful and challenging world of change and industry does have a responsibility of keeping up with change or be prepared to go under. Decisions become more critical and must be made in the context of what is happening and what can be expected in the future. Certainly we cannot be critical of such as Compugraphics for it is in our interest that the company remains solvent and competitive. We just hope that if another change is necessary in our type setting equipment through obsolescence we are ready for the lenge. excellent shot, at winning 24 games and losing only 6.

He said, "It would be a catastrophic mistake if the Region allowed private firms to operate disposaI sites." Katz, was speaking to a meeting of the Public Works Commîttee. The Region of Durham have given some considera- tion to private operation of waste disposai being faced with increasing cons and competition from the private sector who are charging less for disposai of waste. The Region- has had to in- crease disposaI costs above that of private waste areas and as well'to subsidize the operations from monies from tax levies. Two private forms have also shown an interest in operating large disposal areas which could be used for Regional purposes and as well the private sector. Katz dlaims the tendering for garbage collection and disposaI has encouraged monopolization within the private waste industry. He stated that the landfill site at Maple, some 1000 acres, was capable of holding ail of Metro's garbage for the next thirty years. He said at this time the private company would make $10 billion. He said .there-was a great potential in garbage disposai and that it should be looked as a resource. He said methane gas would be a by- product and also pointed out that there is a possihility of turning garbage into oul. Spring has finally arrived, and the Central Lake Ontario Cons ervation Authority is celebrating with the first an- nual Enniskillen wildflower show. On Sunday, May 2, 1982, Authority Staff will be leading interpretive walks through the Enniskillen Con- servation Area. Displays, slide presentations and films depicting wildflowers and other conservation subjects will be set up in the barn.

Enniskillen Conservation Authority offers a variety of natural habitats, each with its own types of wildflowers. The most widespread habitat area is a wet bottomland cedar forest.

Water-loving wildflowers in abundance here along the banks of the Bowmanville Creek and also around the area's two ponds. As an added bonus, the spring bird migration should be in full swing. The variety, of habitats at Ennîskillen makes this 'an attractive stopover for many songbirds.
