4 - Oronô Weekly Times liilihi! h KÜiiii i! by Jeanne Burnside By appointment only When my husband and I moved to Orono we brought with us the contents of a weekend weekend house and a condo. At the time it seemed really important not to leave any of it behind. Add to that some furniture and items from my husband's childhood childhood and you have lots and lots of 'stuff. Most of it has been sitting in my basement for the last eight years getting awfully dusty. A few years back we decided to finish a portion of the basement with a bedroom and bath which made the remaining area for the 'stuff a lot smaller. For the last few years, I have threatened to have the dreaded 'yard sale', but never had the energy to really tackle what's down there. Two factors have now made the decision for me. First of all I, along with a good friend, decided to buy a 100 inch loom to weave blankets blankets and we need a place to work; and secondly, I need to let someone in to check my furnace furnace if I want to get another oil delivery before winter (per a new government regulation). Although I can maneuver quite well through the obstacle course I've created, most people people find it a bit daunting and more than one have suggested I bite the bullet and get rid of the things I will never use. For the last few weeks I have worked my way .through the 'stuff and have cleared a very large path. I can finally see the end is in sight. Only one trip to the transfer station was needed to date. What's really scary to my husband is I have moved most of the 'stuff to the garage in preparation for the sale. It will all sit in there for the next eight years! My favourite item to date is a WHO Concert shirt from Madison Square Garden in 1979 - unfortunately it's a bit too small for me to wear in 2004. Over the last few weeks, as friends have visited for the summer barbeques etc., I have been selling them items at their insistence. My new concept in garage sales is by appointment only. It seems to be working for those would-be buyers as a convenience, and for my husband husband who is horrified by the entire 'garage sale' concept. People come and can look without feeling pressure. Weather is not a deterrent because everything is either in the garage or basement--a must in this ghastly rainy summer. summer. Quite a few people have asked me to hold certain items like my original hand-made toboggan table until they can, come by. In one family, two sisters are negotiating over who gets the bumper-pool table. An added plus to friends is that all proceeds go to next year's fireworks fireworks fund. I'm happy because little by little its all going away to people that will really use it. One woman's old 'stuff is another's woman's treasure is alive and well! HOLY COW!

July 23, 24, 25 2004 10am -4pm ~ Daily Featuring the LEATHER SCULPTURES OF DAVID TROTTER Wednesday, July 21, 2004 Temporary fishery closure will protect species Interim closure of Aurora trout fishery complies with new federal species at risk requirements TORONTO - Ontario's Aurora trout fishery will be closed this season to give provincial fishery managers time to comply with a requirement requirement of the new federal Species at Risk Act to develop a species recovery strategy, Natural Resources Minister David Ramsay announced today. "Every year, the ministry allows a limited fishery for Aurora trout on two or three of the nine northern lakes where this species is stocked for angling," said Ramsay. "This year's Wynn Lake and Borealis Lake fisheries will not open on August 1 as scheduled, to give the ministry time to develop a recovery strategy for Aurora trout. We look forward to reestablishing reestablishing the Aurora trout fishery next year with the strategy strategy in place so that we can better better protect this species." There are only two lakes in Ontario where Aurora trout reproduce naturally and they have been designated as year- round sanctuaries by the Ministiy of Natural Resources. The Aurora trout disappeared from these lakes in the early 1960s due to acid rain. As a result of ministry actions to reduce acidity by adding lime to the lakes, and stocking fish, the lakes are again supporting self-sustaining populations of this species. This limited fishery, with a possession limit of one fish, does not pose a risk to the FISHERY see page 5 ï 1 Cone 5 i . j VJ r 1 h <\J .1 f 1 FC I i V \ A 1/115 = *T3~t r * 1 ! 4 u > m i.
