Special welcome to new Jr. Gardeners by Sandie DeVries Kevin Martin, Leanna Douma, Sarah DeVries and Maranda Easterbrook's eyes were sparkling on Fcbruary l2th, because, for the first time they participated in the activities of the Orono Jr. Gardeners. Kevins mother, Mrs. Martin had been a member when she was Kevin's age and now is entering him. Ail of the members welcomed them warmly. This month we potted a geranium cutting and made something for Valentines Day. There were 21 members present. We hope to have a wonderful year together. The next meeting will occur on March 12. Some forty-three years ago my work day consisted of milking about 60 Holstein cows, three times daily. Those duties, along with everything else required to operate a farm, ploughing and sowing crops, battling rain to get the hay in, hoeing acres of sugar-beet, and triniring hedges, on a seven day work week plan, left precious little time to sit down. In those days 1 would long for time just to sit down and read the paper. This past week I have spent lots of time sitting down, and believe me, if 1 had the choice, being active has a lot going for it. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.rn. through until 6 p.m. 1 spent in the Legislature, as a member of the Standing Comrnittee on Justice, listening to briefs frorn people representing groups and themselves, in regard to Bill 17. This Bill introduced in the last>_ session is basically an'Act designed to deduct support payments for spouses and children from payrolls. The briefs presented, both in favor of the legislation and against it, put forth many points of view. The difficult part is dhe framing of adjustments that reflect fairness to ail those ivolved. On Frîday I was in Kitchener listenîng to briefs from organizations and from individuals, at the opening meeting of Public Consultation on the Advisory Cornmittee Report on Drug Treatment. There was a large turn- out despite the horrible driving conditions that day along the 401. The abuse of ail kinds of drugs and aicohol is of great concem to all involved in the deliveryof health care. As a member of the MPP's Anti-Drug Task Force I look forward over the coming weeks to hear first-hand from people whose lives have been affected by addiction in one way or another, in order to help the committee formulate plans to address the issues. This may sound trite, but it is .rxeally fundamental to the job at hand. $ DOLLAR DAZE $ Bargain Store Toys, Glassware, Books Hosiery, Toiletries Wickerware, etc. 500 or more items for $1. or Iess 235 King St. E. (IGA) Plaza) Bowmanville, Ont. by Gord MOis On Wednesday evening 1 dîd get a ch3ance to go for a walk. Along with some other MPPs 1 went up to TV Ontario's Studio on Yonge Street to take part i the MPP -Fund Raising Night. TV Ontario pr ovides a lot of fine programs, and I was glad to help gain pledges from viewers across Ontario for their continued support. Saturday afternoon I joined with many others ifi the Bowl for Big Brothers at Liberty Bowl in Bowmanvîlle. Luckily ail the folks- who signed my pledge sheetgave a fixed sumn - my score was 137M!!I suppose not bad for someone who had neyer bowled before.- 1 In any event it was wonderful to see the efforts put forth on behaif of ail the boys needing the support of a Father. Perhaps today more than ever, young people really do need the guidance of a Father. This provision, through the organization of Big Brothers, is going along way in providing the stability young boys need. When you reach age 90 it really is a cause for celebration. On Sunday aftemnoon, 1 was happy to present a scroll honoring the 90th Birthday of Mr. Melville Jones of Newtonville, on behaif of Premier Bob Rae and his government. Many people gathered at the Newtonville United Church to bring good wishes to Mr. Jones. 1 was glad to have been afforded the opportunity to add My own good wishes. Many Happy Returns. Till next week - be kind to each other - it makes a difference.
