2 - Orono Wo.tdyTImes, Wednosday, September 1,1993 U .è/"ront and centre The Great Ganaraska Countryside Adventure surely was front and centre over the past week-end and locals as well as'visitors, fromn a piece up the road ail enjoyed the evcent and one would not have to hesitate to say that most will be back if such happens again. When you mention "if such happens again" it is flot likely to be otherwise and likely on the same week-end. From ail reports the event was well received on al accounts whether a local tripper, a neighbouring visitor or one of the 65 involved as a show place for the two days. Most important it was a friendly affair and there were no strangers. In fact on tripping around you would find yorefrnwing acquaintance you had made just down the road for the first time. A sort of constant reunion and certainlyan opportunity to once again open a conversation. t has been a long time since hearing so many positive comments on such an event. To those in the organization must go a whole- hearted 'thank you". You have helped to let us know where we live and to once again realize the beauty of this area, its tradition andthe warmth of its residents. 0f what benefit As we understand the school year about to get underway this coming week brings with it the destreaming of students in Grade Nine with an accompanying elimination of credits and a lesser stringent grading of students. It has been stated that students need more time to make life decisions s0 that they do make a better choice of courses to follow a more personal designed future. Surely this delay in getting on with the job of education will delay the development of the better students and leave others to float around for another year. It can be heard from a lot of students that there is no actual challenge and it appears the destreaming factor seems to make further play into the lack of challenge. Over the years it appears that the effort has alIways been to make thingseasier but this lias not worked. There is no easy way to utopia and ail we have accomplished is a mood of drifting. It is rather startling to find that once again it is feit our youth are flot mature enougli to set a course when entering higli school. Destreaming may well work but to this corner it will be a surprising feature if it does. It is more of the same which lias been dished out over the years. Hait!
