Apparently Durham1 spends $40,000 on tourism, a figure that is a drop in thebucke even in these times. Compared with' other neighbouring centres with smaller populations the funds for Durham are but a 'pincli'. They are reporting east of us, Rice Lake, of a boom in tourism due possibly to- heir best of fishing especially for Americans. Port Hope reports greater tourist interest and Cobourg reports visits to their tourist centre up by 30 per cent. How does Claringti n fair in ail of this. We counit dogs, cats a-id parking tickets, but have yet to see a report on the operation of the Tourlst Centre in Bowmanville. YES we do have one, and for years, but neye l with a report. Oddly Compelling A Tribute to Bermie Martin Dan Christie, Port Hope, i i a Port Hope Guide review of the Great Farmni play presented by the 4tb Line Theatre Group, was:al praise for ail aspects of tise theatre presentation. A portion of bis ciosing paragraph paid tribute to Bernie Martin of Kendal, wbo played the part of a clown. In Dan Cbristies words: "But before 1Iclave let me mention a character 1 found oddly compelling. A clown, played by Bernie Martin, is a strolling concertina - playing sometime n arrator-cum-middle-man. He is thse interwoven tbread that boltis tisis marvellous patchwork qulît together - a thrend Mr. Martin stretches as delicately as the very wire Farini walk -" - How truc - How truc. Kendal Column by Phyllis Lowery It is easy to tell ht it hbas been some time since I worked at thse typewriter, or at least that is wbat 1 wilI blame my mistakes on. In last weeks column 1 typed 18 years of age to 23 saying tisat this was 8 years différence, when I should bave typed 15 to 23 is 8 years difference, and tisen in giving the date of thse Barbecue and Corn Roast at Newtonville, I typed l3th instead of August 2Oîh. "Tbe Barbecue and Corn Roast followed by the Concert by Larry Marshsall, singing Gospel and other songs is being beld on Saturday, August 20th, starting at 5 p.m." Concert at 7 p.m. Contact Manse for tickets or just corne. Sunday was a beautiful day, a little on the breezy and cool side but the sun was shining. Ian Savage welcomed everyone to tise service, gaîiscring hymns, "This is My Father's World', "I Love to Tell the Story', "Surely Goodness and Mercy", were âung followed by reading Psalm 2,7 and the hymn, "Blessed Assurance". Rev. Black gave thse Prayer Of Seif-Examination ançi the Words of Assurance. Ian read Psalm 100, bis sermon was titled, "The Shepherds Heart". The Bible tells us the why, and wbo we are and bow we got here on eartli. It tells us that the world, and ail in and on it belonged to God. God is a jealous God, H1e set the world,,1He puis it in motion. There are soine, that believe in evolution, that there is no God. The Psalmist tells us, we are His people, Hie cares for us. Everywbere i the Bible, we sense God's pride in us. We, are proud when we do a job, it may not always be perfect, but we feel proud of our accomplisbmients. God is proud of us, God is a caring God, God is like a shepherd,' we have sin in our hearts, we may stray from the fold, God sees ail of this and H1e loves us. H1e reaches out and pulls us back from danger, H1e bas a way of making us look at what 11e desires of us. There are a lot of wolves out there, this is a bard world, lilce a shepherd looking after his flock, God looks out for us. Like the parent that can not sleep and worries when their children stay out after curfew, God worries. These are days of cynicism, we do not trust thse leaders of our country, with ail that we rend and hear, we lose trust in those we should feel are trustworthy. We go our own way, we feel we know better, we follow our own ways and desires, not God's wny, we long for the old days when we could put our trust in our leaders. We need to return to, believe in God. We need to allow God to be our Shepherd, to put our trust in Him. We need to believe that God, wil be with us ail the tinys of our lives, and when we leave this earth, we will stili be with Hlm. The hymn, "Only Believe" was sung, a taped anthem by Larry Marsball was playeti. Thse final hymn was, "Pass Me Not 0 Gentle Saviour". A time.of fellowsbip was held in tise Sunday School room foilowing tise service. Last week I wrote of taking trips ta other parts of the country and enjoying al thse différent sights, well I have been looking over the book covering the upcoming "Great Ganaraska Countryside Adventure". It really is a shame that we take for granted wbnt we have in our own backyard. They say familiarity breeds contempt, well I wouldn't go tisat far but it does breed a sense of "so what, tisat bas been tisere as long as I can remember", we forget that tiss is history, our history. Our parents or our grandparents and great-grandparents worked isard to clear land so they could make a living and feed and raise a family. They were pioneers thse saine as tiuose that have been written about and movies made of. They may not have'been well known but some were, and some raised sons ccvclopÎng of our country. Take this opportunity, let yourself go back in time, let yoursclf feel what they must have feit when they came to seutle in this untamed country. Every so often when out for a drive, you may corne to a stretch of road that takes you through land that almost seems untouched and you get the same feeling that they must have got, wildness, the sense no one has ever been here. Go to as many of the different places that have been mapped out, see tbem as they are now, but, let yourself also picture the way it must have been when this wonderful part of Ontario was first settled. Teach your children the history of their ancestors, where they came from, where they settled, how they lived. These are things you won't find in books, these are thîngs that are handed down from one generation to another. Start when they are only little, it is ansazing the stories that you tbink they will forget lin inter life corne back to you. In 1994 we have just about reached the time when there is no one around, who can remnember what our country was like, who knew the settlers. If you have memories of things told to you by grandparents or parents, jot tbemn down. These memories are al part of who we are today. Remember, "The Great Ganaraska Countryside Adventure". Take it and enjoy it, whetlser you think you have been ail over this part of Ontario or not, you wil flnd something new to treasure. This ail takes place on the weekend of August 27-28 starting at the Clarke Museum. This runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.
