2-Orono Weekly Timtes, Wednesdy, Maty 23, 1984 The Orono Town Hall Art Festival held last Fni-, day through Sunday in the Orono. Town Hall was such' that it does menti comment. Comment on the achieve- ment of the organizers and comment as to the quality of work on display which touched a number of fields of endeavour in the art world. It could only be described as a top quality show with excellent works in oils and water colours exhibited by Don Staples, Maureen Remington, Clive Powsey, Huntley Brown, Elsa Sheridan, Sandra Lyons, Shirley Wilkens, Wenda Eames, Annette Verbeck and Larry Comdon'. These artists provided a wide selection of themes in their works on display which gave a great deptb to the show. Etchings by George Raab and pbotography by Wayne Eardley maintained. the high standard and were a wecomted addition. Jeff Greer of Oronà with bis exhibit of wood car- ving and especially bis Blue Heron was most exciting as was a new exhibit of mron sculpturing by John Wilks of the Welcome area in whicb he created, îhrough bis im- agination, some wonderful forms out' old farm machinery parts. The Orono Town Hall bas to be an ideal setting for the show which just added to the whole event. One could add to this the effort by the members; of the Orono Showcase Co-operative who çluring a three day period provided interested demonstrations of craft work and art and the Co-operative does report con- siderahie interest over the three day period. Well done. AS4round 'Hom-ei One More Tinte migration. 1 vowed after last Our friend promptly in- week's article that it formed me that he would 'be some time 1 counted 155 durîng the would mention birds a2ain week-end and that it was but bere 1 arn and its agaiiy birds. Last week 1 made some reference to a similarity between golfers and birders and after publica- tion of the paper realized the similarity was even greater tban 1 bad first tbougbt. Take the tact that tbe golfer when be te es off would be most jubilant if he or she scored a birdie (one stroke under par) or imagine the excitement if the bole was an Eagle bole (two under par). To be sure any birder in this area would be most excited witb an' Eagle to their count. The similarity is there between these two groups wbo today are pro- minent in the field of recreation. To add to this we bad a visit last Wednesday by a customer from down Newtonville way wbo is an avid birder and was aware of my interesîtbrougb reports of Bird Atlasing activity in this area. I was informed that he and bis family bad just spent 'a week-end at Pt. Pelee wbicb, incidently, is tbe mecca for birders dur- ing the spring and fal ail visual sigbtings. This brougbt a smile 10 my face and 1 îold him of the article 1 bad just writ- ten about the number game with birders and golfers. He agreed but pointed out that bis count was ac- tuai visual sightings and be said be disagreed with counts that included sound identifications. 0f course there are some birds witb somewhat similar songs and calîs and 1 would bave 10 imagine il is possible 10 misinterrupt a song and ibus make a wrongful identification. But tben Ibis bas to resemble some golfers who pick up their bail if il rests witbin a foot of the bole and disregard the last pull or not take mbt con- sideration the possibiliîy of missing even from a foot away. Il bas been known to happen even witb tbe pros. 1 also arn fully aware that some golfers shave the score in their favour, at time even 10 the ridiculous. Could this also be a trait of th e some of, the birders. Natuire being what it is, wby would there be any exceptions. Speci*al Educaition programs The trustees of the Norînumberland axfcNewcasile Boara of Education have voted to expand their special education wbicb wvill include the hiring of addiîional personnel t0 carryout the ex- panded programn. It is estimaled the Board will spend a total of $6.2 million on special education during the year 1984-85. The direction of expansion will be in the secondary scbools where the numnber of special educalion students have doubled since 1981 due mainly to expjanded evaluation and expanded pro- grams. Currently ibiere are 22.5 teachers working in the special education area and the board expecis 10 bave 542 studernts erolled in special educalion comle Ibis faIt. This represents about 8 per- cent of the student population. CO-OP Appreciation Hour (Continued fromi page 1) completed. Co-op education is beneficial for the students in many ways. It helps the students t0 explore career choices and clear Up any misconceplions while ai the same lime developing a sense of responsibility. Often the placement leads to a fuil-time or part-lime job. Lorraine Sunstrum, hav- ing graduated from college, now works ai the Mapie Wood Center for tbe Han- dicapped, ber co-op place- mient wbile ai Clarke. The programme aids the community by placing students in nursing homes, police stations, public libraries etc. Employers ob- tain free beip in exchange f'or knowledge. In addition t0 their on-the- job training, students have also attnded seminars tbrougbouî the year on com- mon areas of the programme sucb as resumne writing and completion of application forms. On Mar b 23rd, The Indusîrial Accident Preven- lion Association represen- lative, Miss Bonnie Conrad, spoke 10 ail Clarke High Scbool co-op students con- cerning "Safety on the Job". Lasi week Clarke beld their annual Co-op Apprecialion Hour. Duffy Hamre, a Clarke student who bas ob- îained quite a few credits due, to the co-op programme, was tbe master of ceremonies. Following his welcoming speech, a few words were said by Mr. Taylor, principal of Clarke High School and Mr. Sifton, director of education for the local board. At one lime, Clarke High School had more students in the co-op programme Ihan ail tbe other schoois in the board's jurisdliciion. The other schools are caîching Up, but Clarke still maintains ils position. Ail emnployers and students wbo attended the Appreciation Hour were con- graîulated for the part ihey played in accomplishing Ibis, A slide presentation describing the detais of co- operatîve Education was iben shown wile coffee and cake were being servedi. For September 1984, a new co-operative eçlucation jpro- grammed will be offered. Il will be a tbree-credî course eniitled "The World at Work".

"lî's too bad", he said 10 Poliy one evening, "You came at the very end of Oc- tober so you haven't seen the farm at its-best. But pretty' soon we'll get ourfirst brood of chicks and ducklings and at least three new calves. There'i1 be company too. People stoppîng over for a visil and such.,And there is the weekly market and the June Fair. Anati, itseei acic wont i1r Polly asked. "Yes", he said, "probably next week if Mr. Sommers is better and the road stays clear."- The nexi day whiie Poliy was fixing lunch for -Mr. Somnmers a sleigh clrew up 10 the kitchen door. "Why it's Mrs. Whippley," Poily ex- claimed looking oui the win- dow. Mr. Sommers went to the door. "What brings you here Marîha?" he asked. Mrs. Whippley looked anx- iously around the room. "Is Jack here? He's run away and Albert sent me to look for him."' "What?" Poliy said. She tried to keep her voice from shaking. "Gone? Jack's gone? Without saying anything? How long has it been?" "Two days", Mrs. Whip- pley answered. Mr. Sommers lried îo com- fort Polly. "Perhaps he's see- ing the Barnardo people about a new job. Or~ maybe he's already found another farm and is putting aside, money. l'm sure we'll hear from him." Polly bursi mbo tears and ran up to her room. Jack had gone away without her - without even teiling ber be was going. She had alwa, known wbere to look forhi'- in London, but she could neyer find him here! Canada was so big. "I wjsh we hadn't come," she said looking accusingly at her irunk. She ifted the lid and pulled out her old browni dress. It made ber think o f Oid Briggs and selling mat- ches in the rain and evenings ai the penny gaff witb Jack. Polly puiled the dress over ber head but it was so tigbl that she could hardly breathe. She stuffed the dress back in her trunk. Wbat use was it now? She heard-the front door shut and the horse pulling the sleigh down the lane. A few minutes later Pol- ly heard Mr. Sommers going out 10 the barn. She couldn't Jet him do the milking himseif s0 she washed ber face and went downstairs 10 help. ST.
