Orono Weekly Times, Wednesdmy, JuIy 27, 1994 Home-based Industries There have been a number of articles of late directing attention towards small home-based industries that are springing-up ail over the country. In one of the most recont articles it is estimated that over the next few yoars home-based enterprise is expocted te more than double. This viewpoint docs dispel the thought that big is beautiful when in fact small might bc the beauty and big the beast. No matter how you look at it it does give one a comfortable feeling back te the days of the fami ly business where we ived, worked and played together. it is an attribute which has been lost ovor the past years. Attonding at the Open Gardon show at "We're In The Hayfield Now" ovor the week-end you had te think of home-based onterprise where Douglas Lycett and Henry Lorrain have, over a ten year period, developed through their determination, hard work and now expertise their own breed of registered Daylily introductions and thoy are the only ones in Canada that cas make such a dlaim.. It is flot something that happons ovemnight or without hours upon hours of dedicated work. It does have it rewards however in self-satisfaction and that with the Icnowledge that effort and determination is two of the guiding lights te home-based enterprise. We will have to await the future to see just where we wil go or how we will go but it wiIl be man's ingenuity that will bc the guiding light. The Oak Ridges Moraine This community, in one way or asother has been quite involvod ia the Oak Ridges Moraine strategy that has been devoloped through a Techaical Working Comm ittec setup by the provinciai govoramont.. The work of the committee is nearing as end and sometime in the future the slrategy report will be going to the goverament for consideration. The end resuit is stili somewhat up in tho air but without a doubt environmcntal concerns in this area are now much more evident thas for somoctime in the past. But this flot ail. A federal moraine survey is underway and in its most recent release makes some interesting observations as to the distinct terrain features of the Moraine in this particular area of Clarington. (page 8 of this issue) It is to be hoped that the federal survey will add weîght to the provincial strtegy'resulting, in further concerns for the protection of tho Oak Ridges Moraine. If aggregate is important safe water supply is evon more important.
