I r Il. L. Lt J Omno Weeklymnes, Wednesday, October 1, l~7 - 3 Big Brother month celebrations Paul Vandepol and Lucas other families to participate Lyczb a of Courtice just had- in the Big Brothers fundrais- to know what they would er. The Talent Show And look like as a rooster and a BBQ featured a variety of hen. Both boys were at local talent. There were also Archibald Orchards on games for the children to play Saturday along with many It Is rather difflcult rustllng up birds at this trne of year other than the thousands upon thousands of Starlings who fly about ln waves to corne to roost on telephone/hydro Uines. The Mournl ng Dove Is also rather plentifril this fail. But there were a couple of rewards ln visltlng Cranberry Marsh ln south Whitby. Neyerhave I bad such a good slghting of an Eagle as on Wednesday last. Anrivlng at the Marsh I was told by a fellow birder that an Immature Bald Eagle- was feastlng on something on the orner sîde of the marsh. T7here was no doubt of the Eagle and It was stlll there upon my leavlng at least for an hour plu-s perlod. 1What a sized bird , totally black ln colour as -far as I could tell at the distance. It would have shown some white under the wlng if it had flown. Another great plus for the visit to Cranberry Marsh were three ý(Stiff-Talled Ducks) Ruddy Duck, a male and two females. The maie dld have its tail cocked verticaIly and stfll had some of its summer colour. They are a short chubby duck and are spotty in taklng up resîdence in Ontario. The trip to Cranberry Marsh was lndeed worthwhile with a total- of eîghteen specles. Along came Sunday and with the, Clarington Concert Band playing a concert at the annual Scugog Museum fair. We dld take the opportunlty to visit the Port Perry Sewage Lagoons ln search of blrds. Nothing much orner than a handful of shorebirds, Greater and. Lesser Yellowlegs and a small, group of Pectoral Sand- pipers.. The American Coots have done real well ln ralslng their broods this year and there are a number of successful nesting for the Common Gallinule. I call the Galinules and Coots water chlckens - they swlm around and bobb their heads like chlckens. I dld mention the Scugog Museum fair. It was quite interestlng and well worth spending some tîrne after the band had completed their program of mnusic. Enjoyed an outdoor lunch with musical sounds from two different musical groupe and there were Interesting displays. 1To llst a few - shingle maklng, bird carvings, clothing dlsplays from the past, a vagabond camp, an early settlers cabin were-ln thirteen chlldren were ralsed, a hand-tooled miniature hayballer and, of course, a small print shop. Some of the articles in the print shop had certalnly been in my hands in the past. Enough for this week. and related farmn activities to participate in such as wagon rides.* Archibald Orchards donated a percentage of their sales on Saturday to the Big Brothers organization. I REMEMBER by Charlie Trlm To recaîl the days as a child on a farm allows your mind to reflect on many daily and weekly routines. Taking the farm dog to the pasture in the late aftemnoon to roundup the cows for the evening milk was a daily ritu- al. Milklng by hand was com- mon and most unpleasant during the hot humld perlods of summner or just followlng a ramn. After the milking was completed, the milk had to be separated. Cream for the creamery wlth the balance of the mlk for house usage and for the baby calves. Oh yes, the barn cats got their share as well. It was always an exclting time when each week the Orono creamery truck would arrive to pick up the rich cream that had been carelùl- ly collected since the last pickup. Sometimes there were eggs to be cleaned and packed to go along with the cream. Our mother would wait for that Important creamn cheque. The Orono creamery was owned and operated, by the Goode family in Orono. Mr. Ray Goode finally sold the business and later operated a successful hardware busi- nes sin Newcastle. For many years our par- ents talked about Ray Goode and the Orono creamery always ending wlth "MY, Ra-Y Goode was a fine man." Recently, I had the plea- sure of chiatting with Ray Goode at the Newcastle lion's chicken BBQ, and at the Lion Club meeting; interestingly, he doesn't look much differ- ent th an he did to me when I was a chiùld. Inthe family tra- dition, to me he is a fine man. The regular meeting of the Newcastle Lions Club was held on September 24th in the Lions Roomn at' the Newcastle Commnunity Hall. The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. by President George. There were 33 memr- bers present and 2 guests, Charlie Trlm and Han Verkruise, both prospective members. A deliclous roast beef dinner was served by a_ commercial caterer. Local non-profit groups are Inviited to make a proposai to cater Lions dinners, cail Lion Peter DeJong at 987-5293 for more information. After dininer, Susan Galley.' Occupation Manager at the Newcastle Versa-care Nursing Home on Kng St. West approached the club for assistance in building a ther- apeutic garden for the 88 res- idents. The principal speaker,.-Pat McCarthy, Supervisor of Public Relations at the Metro Zoo, gave an interesting talk on the speclal promotions that take place, wlth the hopes of boosting attendance. The latest, this summer, was the showing of three white lions, a result of a bet between the Blue Jays and the Phiiladelphia Phillies over the world serles. This cam- paign gave the Zoo their sec- ond best attendance record only surpassed by the Panda display a couple of years ago. Mr. McCarthy was introduced and- thanked by Lion Carl Good. A letter from the Durhamn Regional Police Service stated that Policing 2000 Forum wfl be held at the Whitby Mental Health Center on Wednesday, October 1Sth. TI-is meeting is being created to Iform resi- dents more about the busi- ness of policing, because of the escalating crime rate.
