Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, December 20, 1989-15 Why it*s a bird feeder Tucked away in the Kendal Hills a busy work shop with night lights burning, turns out originally designed bird feeders. Its the efforts of Kristin McCrea who designs and constructs the originals as the one above. She notes that the above bird feeder is a whimsical replica of the Elliott homestead still standing standing north of Kendal. The feeder is complete to much of the detail with wooden shignles.and clapboard siding all to add effect and of course to attract birds. The bird seed disperses on the verandah and with a large supply supply within the house the feeder need not be attended on a daily basis. But there are many other designs included in the carfting of the feeders "and one just might catch the old fashioned outhouse up on a tree limb dispersing its feed to the birds. Original Folk Furnishings Kristin also spend time fashioning one-of-a-kind folk furnishings pictured .below. These are painted with acrylic paints and brushed to bring out the appearance of age. The ar tist shows her interest in detail in design and in workmanship. Many of the items are being purchased for Christmas gifts at the present time.

Africa, Mexico and all over Europe. written by Christina Johnson and Jill Rypstra James Richards ot Orono, head of the Second Marsh Defence Associaiton, has yet another battle before him to save the marsh in its natural form. The fight for Richards has been going on for twenty- five years and according to Richards he thought the big battles were over. An indication now that cement cement storage facilities are on the way at the edge of the marsh will kill the marsh, the wildlife and waterfowl, Richards states there is no purpose in making any future plans for the marsh if it is to be destroyed by such facilities. If the Oshawa Harbour Commission Commission allows the cement operation on port lands Richards contends he will consider consider dissolving the Defence Association. Richards states that if there is leaking or the blowing of ce- , ment dust into the marsh there is no hope of its survival. He points to the fact that the constant constant westerly winds will cause transfer of the dust. He claims a cement operation is one of the worst obnoxious industries to be alongside a marsh. He said the water would be turned to a lime-green colour destroying all of nature. The Orono resident said in 1982 the Provincial government listed a number of obnoxious industry for a marsh and high on the list was both an asphalt and cement operations. He points to the fact that the Harbour Harbour commission has already allowed an asphalt operation when large storage tanks were brought to the site from a Cobourg Harbour location. A provincial report said in a recent report that the Second Marsh is a Class 2 wetlands having having as provincial significance and that it should remain in its natural state. The 1967 report found 361 types of vascular plants of which 41 are regionaly rare and one plant that is provincially Holiday Greetings May your Christmas be abloom with happiness, happiness, and budding budding with joy, peace and love. Have a wonderful wonderful day, friends! Betty, Wilda and Staff ' at . Flowers Plus rare. There were 68 species of birds that breed in the marsh of which six are rare in Ontario. In 1986 the Harbour commission commission released a report on preserving preserving the marsh but since the report- nothing has been undertaken undertaken due to a city-port squabble squabble over the ownership of the marsh. The Harbour commission has made no comment as to the cement operation which they state has yet to be signed. The City of Oshawa is some up in the air oVer the fact that the City has applied a freeze on all landfront lands and have objected objected to the development of the asphalt plant. It has been pointed out that the Harbour Commission cannot cannot be regulated on the harbours' harbours' land by local municipal by-laws. Althoug Richards is disappointed disappointed he appears ready to do battle again to save the marsh. Have a Merry! This Yuletide season, we warmly express appreciation to all our friends.
