Finlay George Sikma «vins distinguished achievement award: A Durham County Holstein Club, a Director of the Durham East Soil & Crop Improvement Association, a 4-H Dairy Club Katie Nichols and Ryan Muizelaar Never too much can be said...Bubbling over with pride, were these two youngsters of Newtonville Public School after receiving "Honourable Mentions", certificates and ribbons at the Northumberland/Newcastle Northumberland/Newcastle Board of Education Regional Science Fair, Saturday, April 16th in Cobourg. Grade one student, Katie Nichols with her project on rocks and Ryan Muizelaar of grade two, his one birds, along with fellow Newtonvile comrades, Gillian Lucy, Julia 'Turner, Ken Pelshok, Erin Muizelaar and Matthew Higgins, made up an impressive 7 percent of Newtonville School s population...the highest percentage of a student body in relevance to the school's size in attendance. Out of about 330 entries, Newtonville was right up there, and superbly represented. Way to Go! "Oh Mother! You were gorgeous outside last Friday!" "Aurora Borealis'%..The Northern Northern Lights came alive, midnight this past Friday. Mother Nature smiled in the sky. The Northern Lights are much more common out west, and naturally, further north. There was no doubt, gazing into the midnight sky to the north - it truly was a sight to behold. Like a curtain drapifig over the hill, it almost seemed to sway' it darted and lit up for miles, into the heavens. From Encyclopedia Brittanica...The aurora is familiar and'often a beautiful display of ' light...is caused by light emitted from the upper atmosphere in a form resembling the'light of an electrical electrical discharge. • In the Northern Hemisphere it is called the Aurora Borealis,, or Northern Northern Lights, and in the Southern Hemisphere, the Aurora Austrailis, or the Southern Lights; together they are called the Aurora Polaris or Polar Aurora, * Although there is no doubt that the ultimate source of the energy yf auroral particles originates in the sun, mofe and more complex information information is being discovered as time goes on... When the form of the aurora is seen particularly in the poleward sky, it appears as an -arch rising from the horizon and is called an arc. When the aurora becomes active, active, the arc develops five "pleats" that appear as vertical darts, called rays; an arc with rays is called a rayed arc..." This was as it was, here in thp northern skies over Newtonville - something pretty terrific eh? As Mother's Day '88 approaches, many warm up to sweet memories and thoughts of moms, wives, grandmas, aunts and daughters...Special things to do, to give, for all the very special girls in bm lives. WMRSt few,-®. There is a wonderful new song out currently on the country music charts..about a son wanting to know how to repay his mother for all she has done for him in his life; . the title of the song goes deep, as she replies, "I won't take less than your love." This - the richest of gifts, always returned...Remember all your special ladies, May 8th. Little Scoops...- -I see the Bowmanville Zoo is now open weekends oh so popular with the younger set.

She mentioned it when I told her the story my Grandmother often told me. My Grandmother said that long ago an inspector was visiting a rural school in Cartwright. He asked asked the young teacher if she had any. problems. She said yes, there was a cértain little lad and she couldn t teach him anything. Let me explain here that many teachers at that time had no training whatsoever. They were girls that had gone to High School one year and the Inspector gave them a "Permit to teach." After a year or two teaching they then attended Normal School. The Inspector said, "Surely there is something he likes to do." She said, "Oh yes, he likes to draw!" At that time a child caught drawing, drawing, instead of studying his lesson, was apt to get a whack over (he knuckles from the pointer. The Inspector said, "Well teach him to draw. Find all the material you can that will help him to draw." So she did, and that lad when he drew up plans for the Old City Hall in Toronto; a very artistic building. When I told Mrs. McGee this story she said, "I always wondered why the little Village of Orono engaged such a prestigeous firm as the Lennox Architectural Firm to build their Town Hall but that explains explains it. He was a Durham man born in Cartwright Township." The Judge who was brought to Orono from far away to judge the plays put on by Peterborough, Lindsay, Oshawa and Whitby and I believe Pickering at the time of the Orono Fair seyeral years ago said, ."I admire this little hall and the acoustics in it are particularly good." Orono is situated at the hub of those places mentioned above. A school teacher I know said Orono was a good place for a young teacher to locate. Thirty miles from schools in Lindsay, Peterborough or Oshawa. You could travel to schools in any direction. My Kindergarten - age son was enthusiastic over the train ride his class took to a nearby city. Failing to see how his two teachers could shepherd 35 lively four - and five- year-olds through,one busy station, on and off the train and out through another station to the waiting cars, 1 questioned him as to how the safari was handled. He could remember no rules or special instructions for keeping together. Finally, as 1 continued to question him, he burst out: "Mother, she didn't tell us anything. All she said was, 'Just don't let go of the rope!" by Ruth P. Trout.* A young mother who had been too busy to visit her elderly neighbour who was ill ÿpoke to her small son, "Danny run over and see how old Mrs. Jones is." The* boy left immediately but returned within a few minutes to give his „ report.
