The Lowrey's were mnarried on Septemnber 4, 1948, in the Orono United Chiurchi parsonage. Ç FRO 0MA RO0UND HO0Mfl by Roy Forrester Ini The Great Outdoors I had almost forgotten what-it was like Io trip- about in the great outdoors but that has ail changed over the past weekend having left footprints- on the shores of Lake Ontario as well as back in Port Penny and places in the Orono area. 1 can begin with an evening jaunt into the Wlmot Creek Nature Area at the lakefront. As far as birds were concenned there were hundreds of Red Wing Blackbinds gnouping up for their next flight south. Indeed they are a noisy bunch. On the other side of the scale I did corne across an Eastern Phoebe, a flycatcher, which generally arrives in eanly Apnil and can hang around to well into Octoben. Many of the flycatchers have long left for the south. The big feature of the eyenlng walk however was brough t about by Monarch Butterflies. At first we saw considerable -Monarch actlvlty flylng onto a well leaved bough of a Maple tree. The count was over seventy and upon landing they held their wings flat- out, no doubt, catching heat from the disappearinig sun. * After watching the Monarchs for five or ten * minutes I, continued dlown to the lake. On my return, haîf an hour later and with the sun lost over the horizon, the Monarchs were stili at the same location. At this time however they were perched with their wlngs tightly clasped together. I would. suspect they'were endea- vourlng to retain the heat they had captuned wlth their wings fiat-out. Another wonder of nature and so basic. The Port Perry lagoons wene also visited last week with some rewards in bird sightings. It included an American Coot along with Lesser Sandpipers and a single Greater Sandplpen, a Short-billed Dowitcher, a Pectoral Sandplper and a few Dunlins. A numýber of Ducks were puddling around but they baffle me at thiÉs time of yean other than the Mallards and Green Wing Teal which were present. One doesn't have to travel too far from home for a good hike and that is on the formner Tnec Nursery lands west of O'Chonski road. The entry into the lands is typical of what we have been seeing in the country- side fields of late. The yellow of the Golden Rod, the blue of the New England Aster and the host of white of the Smnall White Aster. Add the fe athery Aven and the ripe head of Quieen Arin's Lace. As fan as birds were concemned the list included tnree niîonally recogiiizeui experts: Dr. Richard Preston, Department of Anthropology at McMaster, Dr. Michael Ascli, Department of Anthropology, University of Aberta, and Dr. Jay H. Strauss, Department of American Indian Studies, University of Arizona. The consultants agreed that there is a significant need for such a programr, Healy said, and that Trent with its long-established rep- utation for Native Studies is a logical place for it to be located. The consultants also said the department had the focus and resources and an excellent milieu for this dis- tinctive doctoral program. A significant emphasis in the new program will be on abo- riginal knowledge. 'Tfrent vlews that new% PhD program -- only its second PhD offering ï!fter Watershed Ecosystems -- as a significant new educational initiative that will be of beniefit to abo- riginal and non-aboriginal persons across Caniada," said Healy. Trent conferred its first three PhDs in Watershed Ecosystems at the 1998 con- vocation. Don McCasklll, a Native Studies professor and a pre- vious department chair, serves as the first graduate programi director for a term extending to June 30, 200 1. 'Wbat makes the PhD) pro- gram 50 unique is that it was deslgned by a committee composed not only of aca- demics and aboriginal com- munity people, but also tra- Blue Jays, of .course some Crows, and a flock of around twenty northiem Robins. The Robins are often seen in this area during the winter months. Last, but not least, were footprints through the Orono Park and down into the iii pond area. What an asset the park is to thîs cornmunity - anl asset we too often over-look. 1 The trail south to the miill pond is rather interestinig and on Monday did reward uls withi a Kingfisher sigliting. ditional aboriginal community people," said McCaskill. "One of the cen- tral tasks of the newly-estab- lished curriculum develop- ment committee will be to incorporate traditional abo- riginal knowledge with aca- demie scholarship." During the second year of the three- year program, students will be required to do a practicum field placement, working for an aboriginal organization or i an aboriginal comm-unity. Trentlintroduced Canada's flrst Native Studies program in 1969. Starting in 1978, Trent was also the first Canadian University to offer an honours year in Native Studies. Degrees for Trent's PhD programn in Native Studies could first be conferred in 2002.
