/ A second Orono Soccer Pitch 4 ■ The Orono Athletic Association with cooperation cooperation from the Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle Newcastle Board of Education is preparing a second soccer pitch for the Village. The Athletic has permission permission from the School Board to construct the pitch on the school grounds east of the school and north. Due to the wetness of the site the Athletic is undertaking drainage at their own expense and JUST TOO WELL ORGANIZED It is beginning to appear that your writer operates much better in a helter- skelter unorganized manner manner opposed to that of having everything in its place and on time. Being well organized for the recent blossom tour didn't help at all even though all arrangements had been made well in advance. advance. The weatherman just never co-operated and we more than likely would have been better off *to make final arrangements just a few days prior to the breaking of the blossoms. Two weeks ago Mrs. Fred Lycett gave us a call at the office reporting the sighting of a bear along the course of the Orono stream. This was all recorded on a pad along with a followup followup call to Donnie Lycett, who along with others had also viewed the bear. Now in the past the office office and print shop has been somewhat littered with little notes reminding , me of events to happen and duties to carry out. Of course this unorganized manner of leaving notes about always requires considerable time • lo find the right note at the right lime. It doesn't always happen but then throughout the course of the day we would be continually continually reminded of s °nieihing when we came ' n one of the notes. Mary Jane in the front office, no doubt was getting getting a little feedup with joining the search party every so often to scout the office and shop for some information that was contained contained on a slip of paper. Forrester was about to become organized with Mary Jane setting up a file for the little notes that • were found around the office. office. In fact the file was setup and the office was cleared of all scratchings along with the information information on the bear. As you can readily see it has taken me some*two weeks to get used to this new procedure and it was not until Monday that I opened the file for the first time. No wonder life was being so easy there was all the scratchings for two , weeks. Yes a bear had been sighted in Orono and by many to make a qualified identification. The Don Hamm's sighted the bear crossing Highway 115 and as well Gerry Duvall sqw the animal make its way into the cemetery. Donnie Lycett's report was certainly supported by others who state the bear was of medium size. Donnie said the bear climbed over the fence just like a human by placing • one of its forepaws on the top of the post and climbing climbing the rest of the way with its rear feet. Well the bear has . created considerable, con- work has now been completed completed by Walker-Wright Drainage and further work in ditching by Taylor Sand and Gravel. Mike Sawyer points to the fact that the Athletic now has so many soccer teams under sponsorship that there is not enough soccer pitches to accommodate accommodate the entries out of Orono. The soccer pitch will be grassed this fall or next spring for use in 1984. Pickling, one of the oldest known methods of preserving preserving food, remains a popular form of' home preserving today. According to the Canadian Home Preserving Foundation, most people tend to think cucumbers when they think pickles, but in'fact pickles can refer to any fruit, vegetable or meat that is preserved using this process. process. ■ Pickled products are either fermented in a salt brine or packed in vinegar. There are four main categories of pickles: naturally fermented pickle's, fresh pack or quick- process pickles; fruit pickles such as pickled pears and peaches; and relishes, includ- cern throughout the community community and the Ministry of Natural Resources has investigated but to out- knowledge has not made a sighting. The last report we have heard, and we are not sure it is accurate, the bear had been seen in the Newcastle Village area and had in fact clouted a dog that was making advances. I am sure when I become used to the fact of being well organized 1 should be able to be more productive and possibly have the news up to date, not two weeks tote. Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 20, 1983-5 College grant to allow expansion Homemade Pickles and Relishes Add To Meal Enjoyment A new skilled-trades building, cafeteria and library are slated for Durham College following the annoucement of a $4.7 million grant.

Brined or fermented pickles, such as dill pickles and sauerkraut, are allowed to ferment for one to two weeks in a salt brine. The exterior color becomes olive-green and the white interior turns translucent. Fresh packed or quick-process quick-process pickles such as bread & butter pickles and pickled beets, are soaked in a brine solution for only 10 to 12 hours then packed in jars with a vinegar solution. The short brining process preserves the crisp texture. To produce perfect pickles, The Canadian Home Preserving Foundation says the following tips should be considered: • use only the best quality, freshest produce for, pickle making. • vinegar is an important ingredient because it replaces replaces the acid produced by the natural fermentation process. Never use homemade homemade vinegars because you can't be sure of the quality or acidity. • salt, acts as a preservative „ and also gives flavoring.
