4-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, May 9, 1990 A new business, blossoms t.John and Cheri Miens, tobacco farmers west of Orono on Taunton road have ventured out in a new endeavour to offset the lack of de- mand for tobacco which has over the years been the mainstay of the farm operation. 1Using their expertise in plants and horticulture with the tobacco industry they are now literally knee deep in a profusion of bloom in two greenitouses on the farrn. It aIl started last year when the couple ernbarked on a program of growing poinsettas for the Cbristmnas season. "It was most successful,- states John, "and al our customers were pleased with the quality we produced." The profusion of color today cornes 'from the greenhouse floors where 4000 flats of bedding plants, flowers and vegetables, are in full bloom. Witb eacb flat baving 48 plants it alI totals up to near 200,000 plants. Tbis does not count the 800 hanging baskets that are spaced throughout the growing areas. John Eiken states that bis ex- perience with tobacco has been an asset but that bis wife Cheri-reads everything about growing plants. Over the past winter work was undertaken in the construction of the second greenhouse for the flowers. "The Future Starts Here" A good-bearted group of Clarke Higb Sebool students travelled to the Bowmanville Red Cross Blood Donor Clinic on May 2nd. It was the third trip to the Bowmanville Lions Centre of this sebool year and about 20 units of blood were donated by the students. The group was split evenly bet- ween fîrst-time donors and veterans. Tbe first-timers found the wbole process very interesting. Everyone enijoyed the drinks and cookies before heading back to scbool on tbe Newcastle Lions- sponsored bus. Senior Girls Soccer Tbe Clarke High School Senior Girls Soccer team played Cobourg West this past Wednesday. Clarke started off well and with strong runs by their wings. Denise Bugden and Allison Jury were able to put a Fecoature of the Toning tables at th'eMiii Tbey are open now for both retail and wbolesale sales of both bedding plants and tbe banging baskets. Eikens explains that they pur- chase plant plugs (small plants) from a firm in Tllsonburg. On March l7tb the Eikens with ten belpers planted the small seedlings in the sections of the flats to be ready for the spring season. Tbey are well in bloom at this point and ready for the market. But tobacco is flot a thing of the past at tbe Eikens for 50 acres of tobacco will be planted later this spring witb the young plants now well along in the third greenhouse. tn speaking about the tobacco in- dustry John Eikens comments that at one time there were 280 tobacco farrns in Durham and Nor- thumberland counties. Today that number bas been reduced to less than 28. The Eikens will plant 34 percent of their quota this year which is a further decrease to that planted in 1989, 38 percent. There is only a three day overlap between tbe breeding plants and the tobacco plans, states John Eîkens. tn talking with the young couple there is lots of entbusiasm in their new venture in which tbey say quali- ty is a by-word. goal in before the haîf. Candace Vey converted a pass from Denise l3ugden leaving the goalie witb no chance. Tina Milîson the left haîf from Clarke had ber hands full the wbole gamne with ber opposing baîf. However, she was able to break free from ber check and struck a first time baIl into the right corner of the net before the first baîf ended. Liz Oxenbam played a very good gamne in nets and robbed Cobourg West of any scoring cbances tbey had. Clarke scored one more goal on a beautiful run by Allison Jury down the right side and she shot the bal into the top corner over the sprawl- ing goalie. Cobourg West put a goal in late in the gamne and it ended 3-1 for Cobourg West. Strong gamnes by Megan Davies.

You will flot lose weight toning unless of course you are cutting down on calories in your food intake. You will lose in- ches, which is tigbtening of the flab- by and loose muscles. You therefore look slimmer because your body is tight'not flabby. Toning is good for you. Chiropractors have, recommended the toning tables for people witb bad backs. We have several people now using the tables that have their Chiropractors O.K. to use them. Toning stimulates the circulation, getting more blood flowing through the veins and arteries. This is beneficial for people with arthritis, rheumatism and other joint related problems.
