(2-Orono Weekly Tlme, Wednesday, July ý24, 1 991) OrwnoW 'ee k/y qimes $e;rdCas Mai RgittionNuim3r 000368 Pub5sheýd b/ery WedneËday at the Office of Pubiietion 5310 Main Stréet, Oroho, Ontario LOS 1 MO Telephone 416-9D83-5301 Roy C. Forrester, Owner-Edito>r Su bscription $14.00 per annum There's a lesson to be learned IL seems there is a lesson to be learned and îts quite simple. A surve y of garbage composition made by Laidlaw some four years ago showed that by weight beer can and botteien garbage put out at the curbside amounted to 0. 1 percent On tbe other hani wine and spirit bottle weighed in a 61.1 percent of the total garbage surveyed. What bas happened in the past four years other than the LCBO operation continues to operate in its same manner clogging the gates of garbage dumps. On the other hand tbe beer mndustiy has made considerable strides in riding tbe garbage dump of beer containers. The most recent report places recycling of beer cans at 72 percent wbile those of bottles are at a most respectable 98 percent. The industry dates back its retumnables to 1927 and certainly it has neyer deterred people from buying the product and returning the garbage it creates. The beer industry bas however gone farther than titis with other recycling and reclaiming programs in its operation. It is even suggested that a 100 percent returnable could quite well be possible. What's wrong with the LCBO? Their opportunity to reclaim is every bit as good as that of Brewers' Retail. Surely we can forgo the fancy bottle and standardize the bottles. It should be no big deal. A little public pressure may go a long was to tip LCBO to show somne concemn for their 61 percent of tbe garbage weight. The worst of Trudeau Tbe letter of Rene Soetens mailed to local coundils has been getting considerable press and everyone would agree there was a good splattering of arrogance within it content Most seem to agree that it is a condition of the present federal ruling party. One writer bas said "It is the worst of Trudeau". ILt is a free country and expression of opinion is touted as a main principal of a free country. Yes - arrogant it was but it certainly bas provided -us witb a few cbuckles. It matters not for we would likely not vote Tory at any cost at tbis period ini time. The issue of froc trade, we would suppose, is a complex issue.and tbe horse trading that must go on in the Tri-Lateral Free Trade debate s would lie intense. But Canada cannot step aside and let tbe rest of Northt America play out their own interests tbat would certainly not consider Canada. The United States, as no time in history, is to-day levering more world power than ever before and tbere is plenty of evidence of tbat from the Iraqi war to dealmng with tbe Soviets. Most countrys are under t.he tbumbs of Uncle Sam. Canada and especially Ontario bas been losing out to the U.S. and make no mistake if money can make more, in Mexico tban in Canada tbat is where tbe investment will go, froc trade or no free trade, auto pact or not. We in Ontario, in the heart of industrial Canada, wil foel the pmnch and quite likely it will mean some drop in life-style. The perks will disappear and it is interesting to soc the headway die Conservatives are, making in'their own field of employment tbrougb a frocze on wages for 1992 and then a tbree percent increase over the next two years. Two' unions bave aIready subscribed to tie deal. It just basto bappen if if we intend to competein what isnow a world market. For those in Mexico there wil be bope that increased industrial activity will bring about a better standard living and yes it may well bump a concern for the environment and provide funding to assist witb tbe concemn. Tbe Japanese at one time beld a wage advantage over tbose in North Arnerica but as tbeir economy bounded ahead so did tbeir wage brackets to the point tbat now the wage field bas leveled out. As to mankind in total tbrougbout the North Amecrican continent more may benefit (Mexicans) than others will eventually suifer. We may give s0 little so that others can bave so mucb. S eek harmony, (Continued from page 1) Darlington, Sports Centre and Bowmanville. The Bowmanville hockey league has had sîzeable increases in their registration of late years. A letter from the Bowmanville Recreational Hockey League to the Town questions why Oshawa must be still holding ice timne at Orono as Bowmanville only received ture on the week-ends. They also question the fact that they have been asked to pay non-resident fees at the Orono arena- when in fact the Bowmanville group is a Town of Newcastle tax payer. The Bowmanville letter also takes exception to a restriction that if their select teains used the allocated ice time at Orono the ice time would be withdrawn. Bowrnanville said they could work around this but feit-it should lie mentîoned and asked if this saine restriction applies to Select teams from Oshawa. The Town report states that further meetings are expected to lie held to corne te some agreement. DayIilIes-, (Continued fr'm page 1) will be in bloom up tO throc weeks under good conditiP'1S. Doug Lycett points to some înteresting charaêteristics of the daylily. t is dîseas>@ and bug free, it multiplies from th~e single plant to a clump witb no effort from human hands. t is hardy, summer flowering, heat loying, and grows with little wateridg but watering will increase blaon by fifteen percent. Doug and HeftY spend these surnmer days in hybridizing - their effort to produce, through cross- pollination, bettêr plants to the point of establishing$ new varieties. The work beginS in the early morning and as wd recaîl the tme of 6 a.m. was mentiOned for it is the best tume to collect, pollen off one set of anthers to then be tagged, placed in the refrigerat0r for later breeding with the pistol of another flower. Again the flower must be tagged with it breeding. Within three days the ovary begins te, swell and the hybridizer knows that a cross lias been undertaken. Going through the gardens almost every plant lias been tagged noting this tirne consuming procedure. Later in the year the seed is collected stored to be stratified in the refrigerator for five weeks and early in the new year, planted in flats to gain young plants that will be planted in the baby bed. This year 5000 baby plants left the cellar in the spring being planted out in the baby lied. The baby plants idle along for the first year then in the second year produce their first liloom. t is at this point that choices are made and according to Doug perhaps one in one hundre d plants will be meet th test. The rest go to the compost pile. The plants selected are then planted in a well prepared bed to undergo -a further selection'process in dhe third year. They then may or may flot enter the lilood lines of the lireeding process. Selection cornes from a feel states Doug when a multitude of characteristics have to be considered from hardiness to colour, throat colours, texture of the petals, waxiness and other attributes that the hydridizer feels are important and what will mix well in cross breeding. The name of Bill Munson repeatedly cornes up when, talking to the two men. Munson is the top hybridizer in North America and Doug and Henry are regular visitors to the Florida farm where they do take part in the hybridizing process of the Munson farm. t was here that Doug Lycett became addicted to, the daylily and a number of the breeding stock at the Lycett-Lorrain farm hlas originated at the Munson operation. Doug takes pride in showing somne improvements made at Orono over the originals obtained from Florida. The Orono group have pai d upwards of $300.00 for a new variety from other breeders . New varieties are comling oni line at the Lycett-Lorrain operation and you car i fnd a Michelle R eid and an Etta ]rwin as a result of the hyliridizing. And there are others. If we were to make a single choice of those we viewed at the Orono location. a yellow-green 1i î-, f£;- ,y fr-, th s, d ýd orange specie. Visitiing the Orono gardens it is the fringes, the colourat ions of throat and petals, the texture and waxiness of the petals and of course the size of the flowers. It's ail part of the hybrizing process. It becomes mnost apparent that an understanding of alI featurcs of a plant and its flower becomes most important to the two men and as Doug states it is a feel one must have to miake the choice. Ilt was in 1989 that Doug and Henry presented their first introduction and it will not be until 1993 that they will have their first plants for sale and this will only perhaps 60 plants at the most. The two men are determrined to be the best in Canada and quality is the keyword. It is flot only the maintenance of the gardens and the the processof cross pollination that keep the two busy at this time of year. Visitors are common to the gardens ranging fromt small groups to bus excursions to see the bloom and then there is a constant contact with other hybridizers both in Canadla and in the United States. It was an interesting and enjoyable experience to have bad the opportuntity to, spend the couple of hours at the gardens of Doug Lyoett and Henry Lorrain. For those who missed the Open House on July 13, please feel free to visit this Saturday, July 27. We are just west of Orono south of the Durhiam County Sales Bamr on the west side of the road. IAffection. Showing a little ,VIF in public in fine. sometimes, almost sweet. t can generate an aura of warrnth and happiness; and theres no harm done. But. .when a couple crosses the fine hune from open adoration to downright repulsive intimate behavior in public, the aura then is nothing short of sickening. Anyone who is audience to this lias been in some way violated, insulted and disgusted. Such as'it was for me recently, when 1 was witness to such a stomnach-tuming display. Indeed, I wondered why this particular young couple (maybe 20 ... ) even bothered to wear any clothes at all Smack-dab in the middle of the afternoon, in a downtown area, these young people announced their own personal lack of self-respect to one and all, no mind whether those around were young children or not. I can't help but wonder why they felt as thougli they had to put on a show ('m not a prude; but this was practically X-rated!) at the most out-of-place, tinie and location, for a mnost unaccepting audience. , felt awkwarýd and embarassed. It was crude and it made me angry. Try the WANT ADS in the Orono Times Reasonabte &Effective 983-5301 St. Saviour 's Anglican Church MILL STREET ORONO, ONTARIO Rev.
