Persaud Sonia Schellenberger Geoffrey John Sikma Bill Bramah and his Ontario I've put the bite on plenty of apples apples in my day. Filtched them from Niagara Peninsula orchards as a youngster, in later years bought them by the bushel at city fruit markets, and now occasionally wander in our own small orchard on an autumn morn and gently pick off a rosy juicy-looking apple to savor its goodness and sense the bounty of the harvest. The trees have been there for well over 70 years. Their gnarled, crooked crooked branches reach out as in a Disney fantasy. The old trees are proud .survivors of the merciless northwest winds that sweep down into Southern Georgian Bay and across our farm near Lafontaine. The apples are of the Wealthy variety and make delicious apple pie, but this year Jenny thought we might have some pressed into cider. We were heading for Eastern Ontario, Ontario, one of the province's big apple apple growing areas, so we picked a bushel from the old trees, and put it in the back of the van, hoping we'd find a cider press in our travels,. Along the way, we stopped at the Village of Tyrone,, north of Bowmanville, to do a story about an 1846 waterpowered mill we'd heard ab.out. Robert Shafer, the young heritage-conscious owner, gave us It brief tour of the ancient structure and explained it was one of the few remaining mills of its kind in the country. »■ Robert was busy, as was his small staff. But not with milling flour or 'cutting logs. They were lugging apples apples to a cider press set up in another part of the building! It was an unexpected coincidence. coincidence. Jenny went out to get our apples while I took a closer look at the cider press. It was ancient, big and bulky. The apples were being washed as they rumbled up a conveyor to a grinder arid we could see the mash dripping down. Layers of it were wrapped in nylon cloth, the layers were separated by wooden racks and put under 14 tons of pressure. The resulting cider was being col- le|cted in a large vat, to be sold later ini 2 litre bottles. Shortly after he bought the mill, Shafer saw the need for a cider press in the district. "I looked all over the province for a really old press -- the kind that would go with the mill," he said. "There weren't any for sale, but I did manage to get one over in Syracuse while visiting there. And it s become the mainstay of our business." They don't press the apples just during the cider sipping season. Tjiey're at it right-up until January. We said we'd be back tô do a stbry about the mill itself when the pressure was off. Meanwhile, we left with some delicious cider made frbm apples tha'l came from our old orchard. Oshawa Presbyterial Fall meetings * "Hymns can stun) the growth of Christians and frustrate us or they can nourish and fortify us," commented commented Lynda Jewell who was guest speaker/musician at the Fall Regional Meetings of the Oshawa Presbyterial U.C.W. which were held October 11 and 12 in Pickering United Church and Tyrone United Church respectively. Mrs. Jewell, from Trenton, Ontario, Ontario, was raised in a family whose life centered around the Church and music. She spoke on "Hynmily", a study of words and music in church hymns, their development and changes through the ages beginning with Constantine in 313 A.D. She encouraged us "Jo believe what we sing or it becomes phony". With humourous comments she thoroughly explained the style of hymns written and translations which occurred years later. Her > speech was interspersed with examples examples of hymns and the range of tunes available. In the 1500s, Martin Martin Luther set the church dn fire with his music while John Calvin alfowed only congregational singing, ..no choir, no harmony, and no organ. One hundred fifty years later Isaac Watts "opened the floodgates of congregational singing by writing over 100 Christian hymns. Charles Wesley, a profoundly well-read Englishman with a deep understanding understanding of the words of the Bible, iwtjole 8,989 hymns during , his lifetime. From 1775 on hymns became more numerous with other religions contributing. Many of the beautiful, warm, friendly hymns written tip to the mid -1800s are the bejst loved of all. The first Christmas social message, "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear", was given to us by the Unitarians around 1850. A4 explosion of Christian hymn writing, good and bad, occurred front 1957 to the present. present. Lynda concluded her presentation presentation by saying, "It's up to us to preserve old and new hymns for future generations." One hundred women attended each day's event. A special feature at Pickering Church was a tour of the beautiful new building while Tyrone Church offered an opportunity opportunity to enjoy the fall colours and the quaintness of a rural church. Shelley Wright, Kedron, 2nd Vice-president, presided at Pickering Pickering Church and Rev. Howard Zur- brigg extended greetings on behalf of his congregation. At Tyrone, 1st ' Vice-president, Betty Turcott presided with Rev. Bonnie Kelly expressing greetings on behalf of her congregations. As Chairman of Oshawa Presbytery .Rev. Brian Gee of St. Mark's Church, Whitby, expressed a warm welcome and related some interesting statistics about membership membership in the Bay of Quinte Con- ferencé... President Jacquiin Guthrie of Audley introduced the Executive of Oshawa Presbyterial which was followed by many reports from the various committees- Bags and boxes of Campbell's setup labels, used eyeglasses, used stamps, fronts of greeting cards, and knitted "Jack Frost" items were turned in by each U.C.W. The colourful knitted hats, mitts, scarves, and sweaters' will again be donated to the South Oshawa Community Development Project. They would appreciate any knitted children's slippers also. Each U.C.W. group contributed "a day's pay": to World Development and Relief during a brief service conducted by Bette Withers, St, Paul's Church in Ajax. A short worship service closed each day's event prepared by St. Mark's, Whitby, at Pickering and by Newtonville Church at Tyrone.
