"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" J. PETER HVIDSTEN / PORT PERRY STAR Young Tyler Swanton takes a curious look into one of the many sap pails at Purple Woods Conservation Area last Sunday afternoon. Purple Woods is open every weekend and will be demonstrating the making of maple syrup as long as the sap continues to run. This makes a great weekend outing for the family. Johnson QuUTBOAROS J PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, April 7, 1992 - 35 Gord Mills, MPP feels like the Jays By Gord Mills MPP Durham East Spring training for Blue Jay players is nothing like the real thing. They are all looking forward to the start of the regular season of baseball. In a way I'm feeling something like those Blue Jays. I en- Joy all the aspects of being your MPP. Sometimes I get a trifle fed up with the committee work and the tedious monotony of a great deal of the presentation and in the debate that follows. Sometimes, in par- ticular on Fridays, when I am ask- ed to travel to a function and give a speech for a minister, I tend to get a little testy. The part I like to play in is the On- tario Legislature. The cut and thrust between government and opposi- tion, the tactical barbs launched in the passion of debate, all compare to spring training and playing in the regular season. So its easy to see that I am looking forward to April 6 and the speech from the throne. Recently the Minister of Energy announced the Home Power Saver Program (HPSP). Over the next three years Hydro will mail ques- tionaires to every separate metered, single family, semi-detached and row households in Ontario. The questionaire asks for information on topics such as the age of appliances and the level of insulation in each home. Based on the results of the survey, home owners will have the 4-H forum brings option of asking a Hydro represen- tative to visit their homes to explain how electricity savings can be achieved. It is anticipated as many as 800,000 high-use electricity homes will be eligible for a visit from local utility representative who will ex- plain low-cost methods of reducing the household's electricity bill. I have recently received some in- formation from the council for tobacco-free Durham Region I am in support of their eight prescrip- tions for health. Anything that will reduce and prevent tobacco use will help save lives and reduce spiraling health care costs. Besides that, we owe it to our young people to help them out not to become a tobacco use victim, I have said and written a good deal about the proposed amendments to the Ontario Labor Relations Act in recent weeks. It has been suggested in some newspaper articles that unions are a force in op- position to society. I would like to re- mind readers of my column that union members are the main con- tributors to United Way Campaigns. Unions organize community events, raising money for research into cancer, leukemia, and other diseases. They have been involved in hospital development both in Oshawa, Whitby and Bowmanville. They are involved in Arts Founda- tions, minor sports everywhere and community agencies. Union members build communities. They have helped develop affordable housing projects. They have served on municipal boards and commis- sions and on local councils. Union members are givers not takers in their communities. They are an essential piece of our com- munity fabric. Please think of that when you are subjected to just one School Examinations The Quarterly Examination of the common school in school section No. 8 took place on Fri- day 29th ult. The attendance was not nearly so large as one might reasonably expect. We were glad to find three neigh- bouring teachers Messrs. Langdon, Marsh and Wilson -- the Rev. Mr. Jamieson and a majority of Trustees. The vari- ous classes were pretty thor- oughly examined in the various branches and acquitted them- selves well. This school is going steadily forward, envincing considerable proficiency in the various branches in which they have been taught during the past quarter. The result of the examination gave universal satisfaction to all present. The visitors expressed themselves to that effect. The services of Mr. Meredith and the two lady teachers Miss Bongard, and Miss Marks, are well received in that section.

The idea for the forum came out of a 4-H regional meeting and the need for leaders to have in- put into the development of the local, regional and provincial 4-H program.

Karen Seymour, Region 10 representative to the Ontario 4-H council, welcomed everyone to Peterborough County. The forum began with a special "out of town" guest speaker who bore a striking resemblance to Charlie Farquhar- son. His hilarious and thoughtful talk, "The Way I See It..." set the To keep with the forum theme, there was a 'Blow Your Own Horn" session to highlight and promote the current successes and future plans This was followed by a question and answer period, '"What's My Line" with a panel of Ontario 4-H council, local 4-H Association and Rural Organization Specialist represen- tatives. Lunch included group discussions ranging from "Why I became/Why I remain involved in 4-H" to '4-H in the Future." ) Karen Seymour led the group through a short sample exercise of strategic planning and collected tunities and threats (SWOT) of the Ontario 4-H council and/or pro- gram. Chuck Lamers (ROS Peter- borough) explained 4-H policy and resolution procedures, focusing on how each 4-H participant can in- fluence and direct the 4-H program. The afternoon ended with a discus- sion on 4-H opportunities, in par- ticular pilot and group determined projects.
