Quilting instructor, Diane England of Garden Hill spoke 10, the group about'traditional quilt blocks, quilting for home decor, and wearable art. "Life's celebrations are recognized by quilts," said Enigland, "one should try and find the heart of a quilt, and the reason it was made." The newly formed group will meet on the last Wednesday of every month at St. Saviours Church in Orono. New members are welcome, no experience necessary. These notes were taken at the ~General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting held on October 5, 1998. *Joseph and Elias Michael of 1287 Morgans Rd. Newtonville, received approval for their application to amend the Clarington Officiai Plan to permit the sev- erance of a dwelling surplus to a farm operation,. 0 A report by Works Department Staff recommend- ing that a concrete skatepark be constructed -at the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex was tabled for one -week as requested by Councillor Rowe. A conceptual plan.for the skatepark has been drawn and incorporates 12 skateboard ele- ments. The estimated cost of this skatepark facility is $169,00. Earlier this, year, the Clarington Youth Council cir- culated surveys to youths in grades 7 and up. These sur- veys addressed several youth FROM AROUND HOME Policelscouting partnership by Roy Forrester Iaunched Octo ber 8/98 In an effort to keep up to date I do read the Toronto Star, of course the Orono Times, the Statesman and the drop-offs at the end of the drive. At time I do get disgusted with the affairs of our state both federally and provincially and yeamn for the days it appeared that our elected were more compassionate. There are other occasions when we cari get a chuckle or two which brings mie to the point of this writing. The Harris Tories in Queen's Park started it al with the announcement that the provincial govemnment was to pass legisiation allowlng 12 year-olds to hunt in the company of a qualified aduit. There are other regulations, including the youngster obtaining parental approval and complete an Ontario Hunter E-ducational Course. This announcement even caught some of Harris' own party members by surprise as it was neyer before the legisiature and came out during the holiday break. Did, I hear you say "typical Hanrs" - act first and then perhaps think about il. I suspect it all comes down from the Federation of Huniters and Anglers who. do wield a big wand having a memnbership of close ta 80,000. This compares with perhaps 16,000 members with the Ontario Federation of Naturalists. Who wIll Harris listen tâ? There Is no question - the Hunters and Anglers who wlsh to maintain their membership with youth who will be around for years to come and thus the heavy 'wand'. Hunters andAnglers had much to say in promotinig increased fish seedingin Lake, Ontario, recently, even though the Mhiistry of Natural Resources'staff were recommending that It be reduced to nil, for a time, so that the forage flsh were not depleted thus ultimately reducing game fis# population. That be as lb may lt Is back to the proposed gun1 law and a Sunday edition of a drivewaydrop-off in which appeared Steve Bond's Outdoor column, "Don't shoot down the new gun law." He oullines the new proposed Hunter Apprenticeshlp Safety Programme and denounces those that object to 12 year-olds handling guns. His closing remarks are: "In our increasingly (and depressingly) urban society, how are young people ever going to learn about appreciating nature, ecologqy and conservation?.- . . . Getting kids off the streets and teaching them about nature and conservation can only be beneficial ta everyone, for now and future generations." 1 ask - '11 takes a gun to do Ibis?"
