\ t The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, February 26,1997 Page 5 Local Mies Featured in Book by Laura J. Richards Staff Writer A more fitting tribute to the glorious daylily could not be found during the plant's 400th anniversary than a full-colour book devoted to the flower. More impressive is the fact that a decade of work by two local hybridizers is the focus of the book 'Daylilies' by Norman S. Track, to be launched on Sunday, March 2 at the Orono Town Hall between two and four p.m. during during an open house. Doug Lycett and Henry Lorrain of "We're In The Hayfield Now,' located on Pollard Road, have been grow the book would give it a certain glamour. Both Henry and Doug are anxious to sec the final product this coming week. "You know, all these things have come to us, we didn't contact anyone," Doug explained. It all began with a call on Doug and Henry's answering machine. "We had a phone call from this man telling us that he wanted to do a book on our flowers," Doug recalled. When he returned Norman Track's call, he got the whole story. Norman had been discussing discussing the idea of doing a book on irises with a contact Daylily hybridizers Doug Lycett and Henry Lorrain are the i( i subject of a book by photographer Norman S.

The two have been fortunate over the past two years to have been featured in Chatelaine's 'Gardens' Spring 1996 edition edition and to have met a photographer interested in their work. To put it simply, Doug and Henry are absolutely thrilled that this project is finally ready for the public. "We won't be making any money off of it," Doug said. But, the photographer photographer who has been working on this for two years is finally seeing fruition, so to speak. Photographer Norman S. Track's photos of the daylilies and the entire gardens were able to bring out vividness of the colours Doug and Henry have sought to bring out in their flowers. Last year's feature in Chatelaine Gardens showed the business business part ners' blooms to their best advantage. Those photographs were also Track's. Over 60 full-colour photographs grace the almost 100-page book which is bound to embellish any bookshelf or coffee coffee table it rests on.

She then offered Norman information information on what Doug and Henry have been accomplishing at their property. Once the request came, Doug said he talked over the matter with a friend in Toronto who told him "this may be the only opportunity for Canadian growers to be recognized in a book." His friend told him, "If you turn this down, he'll go to the American hybridizers." hybridizers." It was then that Doug and Henry decided to fly with the idea. They invited invited Track to their home, and he was there off and on during the spring and summer of 1995. The pictures in last year's spring edition edition of 'Chatelaine Gardens' are just a sampling of what is in store for daylily aficionados.

Rotarian Club Learns How John Howard Society Works by Lorraine Manfredo Staff Writer The featured speaker at the Thursday, February 20th, meeting of the Rotary Club was Dianna Eastwood, coordinator coordinator of the John Howard Society in Bowmanville. Ms Eastwood told Rotary members and guests about the programs that the society offers, many of them aimed at steering young people away from a life of crime. "If we can prevent one young person from getting into conflict with the law, we are helping the community as a whole," Eastwood said. The John Howard Society operates two residences in Durham -- one in Oshawa and one in Whitby. The residence residence in Whitby provides a structured environment for male youths aged 16 to 24 who, for one reason or another, another, cannot live at home. These youths may still need support with budgeting, goal setting or communication communication skills, says Ms Eastwood. Or they may just need some sort of structure to help them get to school or work each day. The Bowmanville branch of John Howard Society saw a total of 235 new clients last year, the majority of these (117) came in seeking assistance assistance finding employment. Others were seeking help with counselling, anger management, management, low self-esteem, or finding affordable housing. Ms Eastwood provided a profile of a typical client she called Mr. W. At the age of 22, his job prospects already seem bleak due to dropping out of high school and a lack of work experience. But throw in a handful of criminal offenses under the Young Offenders Act, low-self-esteem, lack of family support and a drug and alcohol habit and the future just gets grimmer.

Mr W's example offers proof and inspiration to us all. She said other youths can be helped, but it takes a combined combined effort on the part of the individual, support agencies and community.
