(Continued page 5) My first dollar bill For a change Bill Bunting and 1 decided we would change our venue for birdwatching last Sunday and the choice wasn't too difficult.,, For some time we had felt we should take sorte time to visit the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto where anl exhibition' of bird photographs were on display and of which Jim Richards of Orono was included as one of the exhibitors. The GO Train seemed the easiest approach to get into downtown Toronto and it did eliminate any problem o f finding a parking space somnewhere near the Royal Ontario Museum. With the Royal Ontario Museum opening at ten we were in Whitby at nine only to find we had almost a two houfr wait for the first train. Il was an opportunity to visit the marsh at Lynde Shores south in Wh itby and we found the marsh pond to be filed with Canada Geese in *the majority along with some ducks. Other than two Snow Geese in the bitue stage there was nothing new for our listing for this year oth er than sparrows fliting through the long grasses and bushes. For us it was an early viewing of a swamp sparrow and hosis of song sparrows and American Tree Sparrows. Finally arriving at the Royal On- tario Museum and with neither in any greai rush we first took in the, Planetarium show and ail the wonders of the universe up to this point and time. Bill has a good insight into photography being somewhat of anl amateur photographer and statedi after viewing the forty some cex- hibits thàt Jimi Richards hadi possîbly the best scîeccion of photographs in the showiiîg.

Aitligi ît~wo birds arc couîîîoiiihcy are secretive in their marsh habitat and Richards had to spend a lot of time, effort and employ ingenuity to gain the excellent outcome. 0f course we took in other ex- hibits at the Royal Ontario Museum from the Bat Cave to the Dinosaur exhibit but I have neyer been too impressed with caged or stuffed animais and birds. The exception was that a comparision could be made to the wing span of a Nor- thern Goshawk to that of a Red Tailed Hawk and to see the monst :rous wing span of the Albatros. It is not that often that I have been at the Royal Ontario Museum but Sunday did recaîl the first visit at least some fîfty-five years ago. My dad and mother had given me a one dollar bill for the trip, the most money I had ever had. 1 remember continuously checking to make sure it was still in my pocket, What a disappointment when I stepped off on the sidewalk in front of the Royal Ontario Museum 'ànd the dollar bill had disappeared. It was as if if had happened yesterdayand the memory is still implanied somewhere in the back of my mind. I feiu sorry for my dad and moi her who possibly had made some kind of sacrifice so 1 could have the dollar. What a difference a dollar was then.

Letter reveals no Iights for Orono under- pass The below, letter was receîved by Sam Cureatz from the Minister of Transportation concerning a re- quest for underpass lighting at Orono underpass. Dear Mr. Cureatz: Thi s is in response to your letter of January 23, 1990 regarding the need for illumination at the over- pass of Highway 35/115 and Main Street (formerly Mill Street). 1 'requested our central Region Traffic Office to review the in- tersection" of the l-ighway 35/l15 overpass road (Clarke 5th Conces- sio n) and Main Street (Durham Regional Road 17), south of Orono. 1 have been advised by my staff that illumination is not re- quired at this location. This deci- sion is based on an analysis of traf- fic volumes, pedestrian access, night time operations, and visibili- ty. Ail of the above conditions have been deemed to be satifactory wthout the installation of illu mina- tion. When Highway 35/115 was widened to a four lane cross-section the Ministry installed partial il- lumination at the on and off ramps of Highway 35/115 and Main Street. Illumination was not war- ranted ai the intersection of Clarke th Concessio n and Main Street and the recent review of this area has confirmed that there is neither a nighutlime accident problem, nor a visîbiliîy problem. With reference to your constituent's infquiry, the lighi by Harold Moffat's on post No. 2 was provided for the l-lihway 35/115 southbound ramp at Main Street as part of the above mientioncd wideîîing project. As the intersection of~ Main Street aind Clarke Sihi Concession is cur- rcilvy opcrating satisfactonilv, we, do*nul plan io instaîl illumination.
