The talk, part of local environment week activities, was presented by Mrs. Niva Rowan, of the Port Granby/Newcastle En- vironmental Group. In addition to an interesting display of items to avoid to reduce waste, the children were given recipes to replace cleaning materials of a toxic nature, with non-toxic solutions. An Environmental Questionnaire was distributed to all present, in- cluding the teachers, to test each in- dividual's Environmental Quotient. Some of the answers were sur- prising. From the children's answers it was clear that the use of cloth diapers are not very popular. Another surprise, was the number of families not using their "Blue Boxes." At the conclusion of the 'test' the children were asked to take the questionnaire home to encourage their parents and older family mem- bers to complete. An interesting discussion, and the display of organic material obtained by Gord Mills You can call them a bunch of losers who meet every Wednesday night to revel in their loss, but what they've lost are centimetres and grams and they're proud of it. The non-profit group are the Cana- dian Calorie Counters under the leadership of Pat Groombridge. She weighs participants and shares good days and bad days with members. Once each month a guest speaker shares information on almost any topic from meal planning to foot care. On Wednesday two Registered Massage Therapists, Marianne Kowalski and Cher Toal of Orono met with members to tell the benefits of massage. Each massage therapist com- pletes a minimum of 2,200 hours of training at a government approved school of massage and is licensed by through the use of a compost heap, brought to the forefront questions from farming family children. These questions, "naturally", centred around the use of cow manure as a possible organic material, in the growing of vegetables without chemical fer- tilizers.. It was also surprising to learn that 35% of all waste sent to the landfill sites could be placed in a home compost heap. This action alone, would result in an enormous saving of space at the rapidly filling land- fill sites. Before the start of the talk, Mrs. Rowan explaiped that the reason for targeting the age group of 10-11 years, for the lecture, was that they have the greatest potential for caus- ing environmental problems. She added that if they could be made to see the great need for reducing gar- bage, then the problem would be well on the way to being solved. At the conclusion of the talk, the children were given some interesting material concerning the environ- ment. One of the pieces of material given out, a pamphlet entitled the Seven Environmental Myths, should go far in helping everyone to better understand what we can all do to save our own environment. the Board of Masseurs under the Drugless Practitioners Act. Massage is the manipulation of soft body tissues for a therapeutic effect to relieve chronic stress and tension and promote improved cir- culation, muscle rehabilitation, in- creased body awareness and general relaxation. Breathing is a natural way of massaging internal organs and massage increases the circulation, relaxes muscles and helps push blood through your body. After a massage you feel more peaceful, Toal said. The group meets each Wednes- day at St. Mark's Parish Hall on King Street in Port Hope. While June 13 is the group's full meeting date, weigh-ins continue through the summer months on Wednesdays from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. and new members are always welcome, Groombridge said. begins in Orono Park Another summer....ho-hum...not just another camp!

Newtonville Alive (Continued from page 7) multiculturalism, distinct societies, turban rights, minority demands, and vast immigration of crime, altogether have brought tears to the eyes and hearts of Canadians. In a country where a truly wonderful people - of all races and religions have lived for over a hun- dred years in peace, are now being falsely represented by ego-boosting politicians, is a sorry embarrass- ment to the rest of the world. It's a crime! Why can't we the people, im- peach the traitors? Kick them out and get our country back to being just Canada? Warm and big, beautiful and happy. I have faith in Canadians. We must find enough pride in our heritage and in Canada to be able to pass some promise down to our children....that they might grow up with a sense of belonging with rights, with promise, and roots to build on. .I'll say it again, "O'Canada, we have to stand on guard for thee..." Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 13, 1990-9 Local reporter sneaks out on environmient test Orono Times -reporter Gord Mills, went back to school at the Orono Public School on Thursday. He went to write a test, along with the children from Grade's 5 and 6. The test was in the form of a questionaire to find out what you know about environmental pro- About 60 children completed the test, with the Times man only scor- ing 38 marks out of the possible 50. When the marks were given out, Gord sneaked away, via the school's back door. The results did prove one thing, that is you are never to old to learn.
