Spinning Wheel Provides Relaxation For Wife of Local Sheep Farmer Bev Turner works with her spinning wheel at her home near Bowmanville. Unlike some spinners, Bev has a ready source of wool from her husband's flock of sheep. She says the pastime is easy to learn and is an excellent way to relax.

OSHAWA 78 Simcoe St. N. -579-1911 378 King St. W. - 433-0922 ALL REFUNDS SUBJECT TO APPROVAL When Bev Turner requires requires fleece for lier spinning spinning wheel, she need look no farther than the barn directly directly behind her home on Concession St., east of Bowmanville. Bowmanville. The building contains her husband's Hock of Cor- riedale and Corriedale- llampshire sheep. Corricdales, Mrs. Turner explains, have the kind of long wool that spinners look for. Mrs. Turner, who enjoys a variety of crafts including knitting, quilting, and sewing, sewing, first became interested in spinning about five or six years ago. Her interest was simply the result of her husband's husband's sheep farming operation, operation, She adds, however, that her grandfather practised the craft of spinning all his life and earned part of his living through the spinning wheel. It is not a difficult pastime, pastime, Mrs. Turner said. "Basically, there's nothing to spinning. It's just a matter matter of practising until eventually eventually it comes to you." She learned the basics in a single afternoon from Penny Anne Davidson, a local spinner. The rest was a matter of practice. Since then, Mrs. Turner has become an accomplished accomplished spinner. She acquired a black lamb about a year ago in order to spin naturally dark-colored wool. She lias also experimented experimented with natural dyeing and is even planning to use a new method in which Kool-aide is used to color the wool. The process begins with careful washing of the fleece in order to remove dirt. Then the wool is carded in order to further remove foreign objects and to prepare the fibres for the spinning wheel. In addition to producing the raw material for sweaters sweaters and vests, there's another reason for spinning. spinning. Like all spinners, Mrs. Turner will tell you that this unique art is a great way to case tension. There's something something hypnotic about watching watching the cycles of the handmade handmade wheel as it turns fleece into skeins, "It's a tranquilizer," she said. Anyone wishing to learn more about spinning is welcome welcome to attend Lamb Awareness Day which will be held from one p.m. to five p.m. at the Bowmanville Lions Centre on Saturday, March 2. Various facets of the sheep industry, from wool production to meat preparation preparation will be explored in til is program sponsored by tlie Durham Sheep Producers' Producers' Association. Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, February 20,1985 9 Bowmanville High School News Editorial: Interface: Recontre de Cultures By Merrilee Brown Canada is unique. It's policy of bilingualism and biculturalism has made it somewhat of a "Mecca" for tourists. Although it is now compulsory for high school students to study at least one year of French, students rarely get a chance to experience Canada's "bilingualism and biculturalism". Last week, however, 43 students from Bowmanville High School travelled to St. Donat, Quebec, and experienced the "other" culture. At 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 10th, 43 current (and former) french etudiants converged on the school. Eager in anticipation (although somewhat bleary - eyed at the early hour), we boarded the bus for a dreary seven hour ride to a quaint little town in Quebec, St. Donat. Except for the token "McDonalds McNuggets" Break (and one frantic rest stop) it was seven hours of Trivial Pursuit and chocolate chip cookies. Then we arrived in St. Donat. Everything changed. The games we played in English were now only in French. We no longer ate chocolate chip cookies, We ate biscuits avec morceaux de chocolate. As soon as we arrived in St. Donat a monitor from Manoir de Laurentides came on the bus and shouted something at us in French. Being a true anglophone, I was worried. But I learned. I left for St. Donat barely knowing one tense in French. I returned relatively fluent in three tenses. The "Interface" program at Manoir de Laurentides was basically an immersion course. French, if not entirely compulsory, was strongly encouraged. An incentive programme whereby you were given tickets on a draw every time you spoke french (spontaneously of course!). There were 3 draws for a $50.00 gift certificate at the ski pro shop at Mont Garceau, one of which, was won by Bowmanville High School's own Jeff Bergeron. There were activities other than the speaking of French. The first night we were split into 4 groups to play typical French-Canadian outdoor games. A broom-ball or "Balon-Balai" minitournament minitournament was held and Rob Bunker and I scored some of the numerous "Archambeau" goals. Next, there was a toboggan race where you knelt on a toboggan and pulled yourself along with your arms. Many of us had memories of this race . . . everytime we knelt down our bruises remembered for us. A "luge" or downhill toboggan race followed. Most people lost their toboggans but slid down the hill (on their K-way pants) anyway. Finally, an exhausting snow-shoe race was held. Some of the more inexperienced snowshoers in our group (myself included) learned what snow tasted like. Finally wet, cold and exhausted we had a tug-of-war followed by a warm bed, One would think that after such an exhausting evening, we students would spend the, morning in bed. No such luck. Our morning wake-up call (at 6:30 a.m. no less) announced our morning of skiing. For many skiers, especially the more novice, this was the first contact with a mountain. Many of us had a lot of contact with the mountain (face to snow). Somehow, the Kirby Knoll just doesn't compare to Mount Garceau. In the afternoon we participated in a variety of cultural activities. After a slide show and "music festival" we had to write little stories en français and interview (also en français) the local townspeople. We were also given a top-notch winter survival course by "Bob and Doug" Garneau. On the final evening, there was an Amateur Night. In our four groups we chose teams of ten to compete in French Improvisations. We were given situations to act out (en français) with another team. The team that did the better job (or dominated most) won tlie point.

(Special notoriety should be awarded to Julian Anfossi who came second over 150 students in the ski race and to Jeff Simpson who won 2 gold medals in his Advanced Beginner's category. Danny Hache also won special notoriety for setting a record - picking up the most girls in four days). We all learned a great amount in the Interface programme. We got a chance to practise our French. We learned about the French culture. We learned how to survive! Nous avons survivre. The Music Beat By Carolc-Anne Vatchcr On Sunday, February 24th, the Band Parents' Association will be operating a booth at the flea market at the Bowmanville Mall. Many homes of people involved in Band at school have donated articles toward this cause. As well, members of the Parents' Association have put much time and effort into organizing this event. Please come and support , the Music Department in this fundraising endeavour. Co-operative Education By A1 Woodlock P.I. Tool Ltd. has been in the machine shop business since 1973. The company moved from Oshawa in 1978 and was the first organization to operate in the Courtice industrial complex. P.I. employs 7 machinists, 2 apprentices and 2 Co-op students plus Ms. Ibi Igracki who manages all the office functions. The company manufactures special machine parts for several local businesses. They service Lasco Steel, Courtice Steel, Region of Durham, Town of Newcastle, Specialty Paper, Mathews Conveyer, several construction firms and many others. Scott Barclay is a grade 12 student who, quite typically, is undecided about his future. Scott is studying a double machine course at school as well as working on a 2 credit Co-op ' package. Co-op is permitting Scott to apply the skills and knowledge developed from his in-school course to the real work world out of school. At the end of the school year he will have 4 credits related to machine shop technology. Hopefully, this will give him enough exposure to decide whether or not he wants a career in this area. Mr. Lloyd Johnson is Scott's teacher in school and Mr. Paul Igacki is his boss for the out of school portion. Both men have many years of machine shop experience and they are able and willing to share their knowledge with Scott. Mr. Frank Varga, B;H.S. technical director is also helping Scott with some difficult career decisions. Some of Scott's duties, both on Co-op and at school, include milling, planing, heat treatment, drilling, grinding and lathe work. At school he is beginning to get involved with computerized lathe operations and precision lay-out work. I'd like to thank P.I. Tool and Paul Igracki for allowing our students to fully explore such a specialized technical field. These Co-op experiences will help recruit better educated educated people for . apprentice-. , ships and other training programs. programs.
