2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 7, 1989 ©rotro IBetMp Stmesi Second Class Mail Registration Number 000368 Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication • Main Street, Orono i Roy V. Forrester, Editor "That we sit up and take note Councillor Larry Hannah at the recent meeting of council and following a briefing by Ian McNabb, resource manager for the Kawartha Conservation Authority, on the activities of the authority said, . . that we should sit up and take note." .McNabb spent some time outlining the activities to council council in an annual report. It may have been coincident that the timing timing for the briefing coincided with Environment Week but more noteable was the stated emphasis on water management that has been given by the authority. McNabb repeatedly returned to their endeavours towards water management through the protection protection of water recharge areas, the protection of streams, improving improving stream flow, improve shade cover, decrease erosion and the recreation of worn-down banks. Yes he did touch other subjects subjects as fill-line mapping, assisting municipalities in planting trees along raod sides, educational programs, forest management management on rivtae and public lands as well as stream flow monitoring. monitoring. But the main theme of the address and one would think the main theme of the Authority came out as water management. It was refreshing to hear such emphasis from the resource manager which all-too-often seems to be lost in this day and age with Conservation Authorities. McNabb further showed slides of a new technique being undertaken by the Kawartha, the first in the province of Ontario, Ontario, for stream bank stabilization and retrofit. He said many are now coming to inspect the process which is a natural approach approach to stream bank improvement and repair using natural material readily available. Rip rap, the placing of stone along a river or stream, has been in vogue for years but generally ends up sterilizing the stream to the extent of the use of the rip rap. Further this process is somewhat expensive much more than the system now being used by the Kawartha. One must consider the Kawartha a leader in such a development. Another interesting aspect of the Kawartha operation, could, we suppose, be termed thrift. They work through other groups such as Trees for Today and Tomorrow which supplies some funding for the planting of trees. It doesn't take long for such groups as the Trees for Today and tomorrow to recognize sincerity and this, of course, breeds more assistance. And the Kawartha takes advantage of other programs. It is a sign of commitment to conservation and a feeling for the environment. Thrift also shows up in the fact that they can loan a wood chipper for a couple of weeks in return for a discarded tree planter. The planter goes into action, where possible, after some minor repairs and a couple of tires. It didn't have to be a brand new planter for a portion of 50,000 trees which it would plant on an annual basis. In fact it cost the authority vçry little. It is the first tiipe in years that we have heard an authority that certainly appears to have its course set on improvement to water resources and the finer details that go into making an improvement. improvement. ■ Larry Hannah was right on with his brief statement " . . . that we should sit up and take note. This would hold true for most organizations, municipal councils, to school boards ... a matter of getting back to the basic intent of the organization. Kendal News The Country Doctor In memory I see him still as though'twere yesterday That dear old country doctor as he jogs along the way, And methinks I catch a fragment of an old familiar tune, That he seemed to be "just practicing" for Sunday afternoon. f No ordinary mortal, I would have you understand, For hé* led the village choir and likewise the village band; And when, perchance, the parson didn't happen to be there, , He could preach a splendid sermon and offer up a prayer. No nights were e'er so "stormy and no drifts were e'er so deep That he ignored the summons that aroused him from his sleep, And when the call was-answered his old bay mare would turn As if to learn the reason for her master's deep concern." Somehow I always fancied, though it might have been a whim, That the old mare shared the sorrows and the joys that came to him; She would jog along dejected when a neighbor passed away, But she acted very different when a new one came to stay. You may sing about the "Blacksmith 'neath the spreading chestnut tree" But when you're picking heroes you may pick the one for me That filled my youthful fancy so no other could compare;-- The dear old country doctor with his little old Bay marc. by Walter Palmer The Horse Review, 1931 This past weak two inches of rain has fallen moi 51 °f *t n >ght and everything' h8S> •: j us * 8 rown * n night, especially the young trees., My brother planted a lot of young trees along ouf fences and they look so pretty thi§ year.

Then prizes were given out to the lucky ticket holder etc. The one who came the longest distance was Mrs. Brewer's son and family from London.

Mc- \ Clure suggested he should have a project of his own - an ambulance truck. The judge agreed on condition condition that the ambulance be named the Mary O'Connor after his wife. Four months later the Judge got a cable from China. The Mary O'Connor had been blown apart by the Japanese during the British Forces' retreat from Burma. The judge was furious and decided to replace the ambulance immediately. But by now the Japanese had captured captured most of Southeast Asia. There was no port where the ambulance ambulance could be landed and driven in. McClure had the ambulance sent to India where it was broken down into its smallest parts and then flown into China by parcel post. There McClure reassembled it. This time the Mary O'Connor lasted til the. end of the war . (to be continued) If a jar is hard to open just hold the screw on part, under the hot water tap.

Remember that is this coming Friday Friday night and Saturday. The inspector watched a lesson being taught on 'Alfred the Great'. When the teacher finished the inspector inspector looked very pleased with himself and with the thought provoking provoking question he was going to ask. If Alfred the Great were living today how would he feel about prohibition prohibition and about women voting? No response so he asked the question again. All was quiet, The inspector looked disappointed. His thought provoking question wasn't provoking provoking thoughts the way he thought it would. So he picked out a promising promising pupil and reworded the question for him. "If'Alfred the Great'were living , today how would he feel about wine and women?" The boy thought a few minutes and then said, "I think he'd feel he was too old for either !" Bob McClure (continued from last week) Once they arrived the trucks had to be driven into China, through the Japanese air raids. "We thought at first that the Japanese would respect the Red Cross," recalls McClure, McClure, "but we found early that we were wrong." McClure and his team would dash along the ramshackle road through the night, trying to get as far as possible into China before dawn and the air raids. If they were lucky they could cover a hundred miles (160 kilometres) with no breakdown, before they had to stop and camouflage the trucks, hiding beneath a tree or in a ditch and disguising the trucks with hay. "The aeroplanes would sometimes come so low that you could see the pilot and he could see you," says McClure. Often the driver huddled under the hay covering covering one truck, could see another truck go up in flames. Sometimes their own trucks would be hit. But the Japanese pilot always missed the gasoline tanks, and the fleet never lost a man. McClure quickly learned the best hiding spots. Grave 'mounds wer„e his favourite, for no bullets could pierce a tombstone. Once during an air raid he and an American soldier both dived for whab they thought was a grave mound. They quickly discoverd it was a manure heap. Most of the vehicles were driven in from their port of arrival but one took a different route.
