8-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 27, 1990 Young Irish vistors Sam and of friends t0 play with, as' local one evening.. Rebekah Johnston were flot short children unite, for games unknown, Little Scoops.. Sam and Barbara Johnston with children Sam Jr. 2 and Rebekeh 6, live outside of Belfast, Northern Ireland. It's back 10 Belfast! Visitors 10 Newtonville for three weeks, Sam, BarbaIra and children saw and did more in Toronto and about-the countryside than most of us, 1 am sure, would in îhree years! On-the-go dad, Sami Sr., a police officer had many questions about Canada and about police forces in general, discoveing that despite the serious unresi here, over home is much worse. The couple were visiting with Sam's sister Denise Bryan and hus- band Rob. They toured from Niagara Falls to Bewdley to Roseneath and places inbetween. -They looked up old family friends 10 the north, and along with Rob and Denise, enter- tained guests in Newtonville. They celebrated their ninth wed- ding anniversary with fireworks in the backyard - and that was a treat since "explosives" of any sort are outlawed ai home. For a firsti t Canada, Bar- bara stimmed iî ail up as "totally brilliant!" Will they come again? "Yes", says Sam, "but perhaps in the- winter, when. those awful 'Imossies" (mosquitos) are gone!"

It Payse to Advertise in the Times 983-5*301 Town employees Curt Trimble (left) and Steve Parker dressed up our cenotaph park with a brand. new flag. Bot Curt and Steve have lived in the Bowmanville area for many years, but were quick to mention how much quieter and country like it was out Newtonville way. Thanks to Nick Van Seggelen and staff ai Town offices for seeing we had flowers, and a flag- especially in light of Canada Day coming up, this weekend. Maybe Canada will see some pro- mise for the future. Heaven knows DUJRHAM we've had our bruises and knocks in practially every aspect of Canadian life,- something increasingly hard 10 de fine. With this in mind, 1 hope tickets go well for the Newtonville Annual Canada Day Beef Barbeque, July 1 st. Do contact Wally Boughen 786-2239 or Don Robins 786-2954 for yours. - A great lime was had by ail lasi Thursday ai Clarke High School track meet. Kids from Orono, Kir- by and Newtonville gathereçi compete in various track and field events. Congratulations to al athietes; and to organizers for a very successful1 event. - -A reminder- for parent school volunteers there will be a special tea held in honour of ail volunteers who gave so much of their lime and support to students and teachers throughout the year. The tea will be ai 1:30 p.m. Thursday, June 28 at the school. - Most of us are probably al "Imeeched" out, and none-the-Iess, confused. 1 have heard tales of Canadians from Manitoba holding their heads a litile higher lately. Quebeckers are- still divided - unfor- tunately it's the riled up "anti- Anglo" French that seem 10 gel the bulk of the publicity. And yes - Mulroney should say no more, throw away his "How 10 conl Cana- dians and dance around the issues" Book of Operations and step down. That would be the mosi humane and beneficial course of action this man who does not represent 'a real Canadian' could possibly do. - Summer is really coming! The gardens are filling out beautifully. And yes, school's finished for another year. Let's keep in touch - I'd be very happy to hear about a special occa- sion or event in your life. Drop me a line ai P.O. Box 104 in Newtonville. "Enjoy - Perhaps we'1l see you ai the Barbeque."
