The foresight of our forefa- thers seventy-five years ago as to the urgent need for reforestation put Orono on the map with thousands of nature lovers. Today there is an even greater challenge to deal with the many problems of man's impact on our natu- ral environment and to show us how to improve and enjoy it more in the process. What greater opportunity could present itself for new DURHAM EAST 4-H VET CLUB How many weddings or wedding showers have you been invited to this summer? I have two weddings and two wedding showers to attend this summer. Everyone I talk to lately is commenting on the .number of wedding related events on their summer agenda. Apparently this is a big year for weddings. Along with the position of being a guest at a wedding, bridal shower, Jack and Jill party, bachelor stag, or dress rehearsal, comes the many different added expenses. New dresses or suits are often needed. And even if a new outfit isn't 'needed' most women hate to wear the same outfit t.wice in a row to a spe- cial event. The in-laws have already seen her in that dress. So has hubby! Sometimes it takes a woman months of combing the many dress shops and malls to find just the right outfit that she feels will flatter her to her best. Then comes more shop- ping. Gifts must be pur- chased for the showers and for the wedding. Sometimes a cash amount is given in place of a purchase gift. Either way, your cash sav- in'gs is dwindling. Maybe the bridal industry is the one to consider enter- ing. Brides and grooms spend small fortunes (usually with help from their family) on putting together what is sup- pose to be a very special day to always remember. Caterers, cake decorators, beauty salons, reception halls, bridal paraphernalia, disc jockey services, church fees, ministerial costs, florists, jewelers ... It all costs money! The wedding party is spending large amounts to have a memorable wedding day for the bride and groom. The guests are spending money on gifts and clothing expenses. Sometimes even hotel arrangements are need- ed for out-of-town guests. I arn currently caught up in a whirlwind of activity related to my oldest sons' impending marriage. Sunday afternoon about thirty people attended a Jack and Jill shower I held for my son and future daughter-in- law. The guests were very generous with gift items and cash. Many of us older married couples can remember our own wedding preparations. We remember how hard it was first starting out. So many things we needed. When we offer our gifts we forget about the cost and are happy in the appreciation that shows on the faces of the happy couple. Yes, this is a summer des- tined for wonderful weddings and happy beginnings. 60 years of being Orono's Community Newspaper Orono Weekly Times BY RACHEL BAKKER Press Reporter The second Durham East 4-H Vet Club meeting was held on June 20, 1996. We all met in the waiting room at the Newcastle Veterinary Clinic and waited for our leaders. When everyone was there we did role call, as usual. Our leader, Robert Green told us that we would be watching an operation on a cat. That was a nice surprise. This would be the first surgery that I could watch, I could hardly wait. We broke into groups, the junior group, who went with Robert Green and the senior group who stayed with Sue Green. The first thing that Robert Green did was put the cat to sleep. It was a female cat and it was going to be spayed. The doctor got her ail ready for the operation and then moved her into the oper- ation room. The operation was very interesting! 1 leaned so much! After the surgery was over and the cat was back in its cage, the groups switched. While the senior group was watching the same operation (on a different cat) the junior group learned a little more about the reproductive sys- tem. When the meeting was over, we talked about the operation. I couldn't wait for my parents to pick me up so that I could tell them all that I had seen and what I learned. The Third Durham East 4- H Rabbit Club meeting was held on June 12, 1996 at the Found's Farm. As usual, when everyone was present we did role call. We then went to the barn to see the rabbits. Stephen Found, one of the rabbit club members, explained to us what he fed his rabbits how much he gave them etc. When we got back to the house we did an experiment to show us how the rabbit's digestive system worked. Mike, (one of our leaders) had a blender, and put some hay, pellets: oats, water and some carrots in it. He mashed up the food, explaining that was what the rabbit's mouth did to the food. We went through the w.hole path of the system and everyone had a clear understanding of how every- thing worked. When Mike put away the blender, he took out a movie on rabbits. We watched the part about food and nutrition. It was very interesting and helped us understand more about rab- bits. After the movie we asked Mike a few questions about rabbits. We enjoyed somie snacks provided by the Found's while we waited for our parents to pick us up. roperty com- celess irriga- We are, like it or not, on the very fringe of one of the worid's great metropolitan centres, where such new open space will soon be non-exis- tent. The whole area is served by an excellent arterial road system. In short, a big "market" for outdoor experience in ail its dimensions is at our doorstep. Government fiscal restraint invites us all, and our political decision makers, to devise co-operatives arrangements to take full advantage of this great oppor- tunity. Let's add to Clarington's Bowmanville Zoo, Orono Exotic Cat World, Lily Garden, Marina, etc., a world class outdoor centre of major economie and social importance. In this field as in that of sci- ence as a whole, (eg. the Ontario Science Centre) hands-on education in a recreational setting is the key to the future. Anyone who has visited the Wye Marsh at Midland will be astonished at what has been accomplished by co-operative community venture in a less favourable and more specialized setting. It literally arose from the ashes of federal government fiscal restraint in the eighties to become an internationally recognized wildlife accom- plishment and economic boon to the area.
