Orono W.ekly Timas> W.dnesday, MayIZ .1993 - 7 GPR Kinsmen 2O0th Anniversary The Great Pine Ridge Kinsmen Newcastle and surrounding areas. celebrated theïr 2th Anniversary The idea for this area's club was on Saturday, with a dinner and chartered in 1973 by the dance at St. Francis of Assisi Bowmanville Kinsmen. Parish Hall. Charter President, Tony The Great Pine Ridige Kinsmen Mitchell; Chartering Committee encompasses the Orono. Member, Wayne Thertell; We've all had a favourite pet. Faithful dog. Purring cat. Sweet littie guinea pig. We do everything we can to keep themn healthy, safe and happy. These pets are treated as friends and family. And when and, if something should happen te our -faithful pals, we're left devas tated. zc None of us like to sce animais i pain or being mistreated. Sadly enough, thousands of animais are subjected te gross acts of cruelty. And the bottom line is . .. the reasons animais are subjected to titis treatment is because we buy the products that are tested on animais. According to the Animal Alliance of Canada, Animal Testing of cosmetic and household products is not specifically ivquired by Canadian or Anierican law. The tests, they say, are often inaccurate, unnecessary, and even inapplicable te humans. The tests, as well as being unnecessary, are disgustingly cruel. Fur is shorn from the animnaIs and chemnicals are put on the bare skin. Syringes are jammed down the throats of the animaIs and the stomach is injected with surfactants. Animals are force-fed lethal doses of cosmetics. These animals die in convulsions and vomiting. They have been known to bleed titrougit their eyes, nose and moutit. And often they die from just the pain of being constrained in restraining devices. Why? I've neyer ingested a cosmetic. Why should animais be forced to. Many of the products on our store shelves contain chemicals or materials where the effects of these are already known, yet, they continue to be tested on these defenseless animais. We cai help stop the pain and suffering, of these animals. Dollars, speak louder than words to large corporations. By boycotting products that We know have been tested on animais, perhaps some day soon, the cruelt-y to animais wili end. Future in education outlined by Director of Education by Carol-Ann Oster It's hard to imagine what life will be like in the future. Most of us are having trouble keepinig up' with the technology of the day. But take a look into the future. Let's say the year 2007. 2007 is the year that educaters of today have targeted. The significance of that particular year is that it is the year that the current junior kindergarten students wili graduate from the OAC level Dick Malowney, Director of Education addressed the issue of the changing face of education at the Pines Senior Public last Monday. Companies are looking and forecasting 5 and 10 years ahead. "Thtis is an exciting concept for education," says Malowney. "The only constant is change" adds Malowney. One of the biggest changes we will see will be a return to the 3R's. TFhe 3R's supply raw materiai needed to work with new technology (computer technology). Most of the technology that the students of teday will be using as the adults of tomorrow has yet to be invented, Malowney remninds US. There are a number of skills that will be needed aside from the 3R's. 0f increasing importance are: Keyboarding, Data Manipulation, Problem-Solving and Decision Making, Systemns of Technology, Resource Management, Economics of Work, Human Relations, Aplied Maths and Science, and Career Planning. In short today's students need strong applied academic skills, personal management skills, teamwork skills, learning to learn for a lifetime. President of the Club, Jim Cartier, Charter, Chairman, Ralph Whyte; Chartering Committee Member, Harvey Webster, celebrate the Great Pine Ridge Kinsmen's 2th Anniversary. Trends indicate that the areas of employment are shifting from Agriculture and Production to Service and Information. We also are moving from a national marketplace to a global marketplace. In 1990 Canada ranked fifth in -World Competitiveness. It is important that children are taught to compete in this new expanding marketplace.
