When we got? there Susan, Mia andF Mr.Withehdge Split us up into two groups. We learned how animaisj communicate, we made bird 1 feeders made out of pine cones, peanut butter and wild flower seed. We also played the predator prey game. Al of us enjoyed that one the best.The predator prey game is when there are two groups of predators and prey they are: Carnivore and Omnivore. The Herbivore had toi get food and water at the stations and have to run from Omnivorous and Carnivore. The Omnivore can get food at stations eat other animaIs, or be eaten. Then there is the Carnivore. They can only get food and water by eating other animais. At the end of the day we did the amazing maze, weill at least we ail made it out-or 1 think we ail made it out. -rhe biver1 Awar By .

The Kindergarten stu- dents are encouraging Spring to occur. We have written Spring stories. At our drawing centre, t he children have illustrated pictures about Spring with pastels. We have painted using string to deco- rate our Spring umnbrellas. At our Science centre, we plant- ed bean seeds and marigold seeds. The green beans are really grow ing. Wow! The flower seeds need more atten- tion. Another Sprtng activity that we're working on is our Mother's Day gifts. It's a sur- prise, we can't tell you about it. Last week, as one of our Earth Day activities, the entire school Junior Kindergarten to Grade Six wereinvited to plant trees at Orono Park. Mr. Andy Gryg, a horticulturalist showed us the correct way to plant a tree. Some of the classes planted trees in the momning. The students planted approx- imately 3,000 trees. In the aftemnoon, the children plantý ed 2,000 trees. We were all very busy helping our Earth. The Kindergarten students would like to say a big thank you to our Grade Five bud- dies for helping us during the planting of the trees. This week is Education Week, May 6th - lth. You are always invited anytime to our school; however for Education Week, there is a special invitation extended to you to come and observe us in action on WEDNESDAY, MAY 8th from 1 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. and THURSDAY, MAY 9th from 9:00 a.m. until noon. Also on Friday, May lOth, we are having another Invention Convention stop by and have a look. continued from page 5 something you create, not something that is handed to you. Look at the six small business people, the Kinsmen, Rotary, BIA, CWL, and Port Perry Hospital com- munity that I visited this week. These are but a few examples of people creating opportunities and helping them selves. As Ontario tries to re-dis- cover itself, we are criticized for reducing government spending, yet every commu- nity group is re-inventing itself to become more self reliant and sustainable. It would appear that we can do more with less, perhaps ..necessity is the mother of inventk*i". We have made a number of comments over the last year regarding the benefit and popularity of 3/4 day getaways. I can tell you tram experience that they really do the trick for a busy business persan or a harried parent and ail the folks in between. 1 dan't think it really matters what the destination is as long as its a long way tram the telephone that neyer seems ta stop ringing. What about the children ... ? Or how about "Mom, 1 Have ToI" A short trip ta Flarida is very popular and still affordable. A long week-end in Nassau is a wonderful change of pace as is Las Vegas.

They were given consideration for a no parking area in a one mile radius of the park, provided they want to foot the $ 19,000.00 bill of signing the roads. Mosport asked for the zone as a way of limiting the impact that increased'traffic during their events would have on the area residents. "We can, prevent a lot of secu- rlty and traffic problems by posting these signs," said Bermie Kamin, solicitor for the park. "Outside of the park, it is very difficult for us to police it without the municipality's help." The concemn on Mosport's part was twofold. Firstly, they did not want the roadways surrounding the park full of cars during their events. This would impact on the resi- dents and also cause traffic problems after the event. Secondly, and perhaps most -importantly, such signage would prevent people froin parking their cars and sneak- ing in to the site, or watching the event from outside the parks boundaries. For upcoming events, Mosport predicts they will be holding around 45-50,000 cars in parking lots on their property. of lodges and resarts right here in Ontario; cansider a train trip ta Quebec City or a çruise up the Rideau tram Kingston ta Ottawa.

The communities of Leskard, Kirby, Tyrone, Haydon, Enniskillen, and most of downtown Orono faîl into the five mile radius. This would have prevented any stopping in these hamlets regardless of whether or not there was an event on.. It would also cost the munici- pality almost $ 100,000-00 to post the signs, as well as the difficulty in policing the area. The Municîpality did agree to consider a no parking area within one mile of the site to help alleviate any potential problems. Presently, the Municipality has a 3-hour parking limit by-law for ail unposted areas. The Municipality felt that this would be enough to police the areas beyond the one mile radius. The one mile radius will onlyý be considered if Mosport gives the Munîcipallty- a certified cheque for $19,000.00, the estimated cost for putting up the signs. -if you want them. up, you better get the cheque in, because our taxpayers aren't paying for it," said, Mayor Hamre. Mosport wîll be informing the Municipality of their deci- sion in the upcoming weeks.
