www - aiid 18 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, June 17, 1986 Scottish lass visits Blackstock Bank decides on time It was Fiona Smith's bank manager who decided she could come to Canada for three months. Otherwise she would have come for six. She says this with a grin on her face of course, in the highly musical Scottish brogue that makes everything she says sound like poetry. "In certain areas of Scotland peo- ple speak with an even heavier brogue, just like people in Canada have different accents depending on where they live," she says liltingly. "It would probably be pretty boring if everyone spoke the same." The 25 year old lass with pale blonde hair and bright blue eyes sports a kilt on the day of her inter- view with the Star but she laughs and says she doesn't wear one every day. "I just brought it for occasions such as this," she says. She's in Canada on an exchange "trip sponsored by Junior Farmers, living with different families throughout Ontario for a couple of weeks at a time. She spent a week and a half at the home of Gerald and Joyce Kelly-in Blackstock, her first stop in a tour of seven different WATSON - DYER The marrage of Teresa Mary (Tessa) Dyer and Andrew Gerald Watson was solemnized at the Church of the Ascension, Port Perry, April 26th, 1986.

She had the choice of going to the United States, New Zealand or Australia but she decided to come to Canada. "I decided that Europe was a bit closer--I could get there more readi- ly at another time," she explains. She hails from a town called Strathaven with a population of about 6,000 in Lenarkshire county, Scotland, where she lives on a farm and works as a typist in a top securi- ty hospital for the insane, the only one of its kind in Ireland or Scotland. She says there isn't a great deal of difference between Scotland and the parts of Ontario she has seen so far but she says the driving here is more chaotic. "Driving along the 401 was a bit haywire," she says. But Fiona really enjoys the cleanliness of the province and has taken in the CN Tower, the Eaton's Centre, the Peterborough lift locks, and Cullen Gardens. ""There's not a great deal of dif- ference between the people or the land, although there are more trees here," she says. And the language, of course is different. Mrs. Kelly points out with a laugh that Fiona says "Aye" a lot instead of yes, "wee" instead of small and "tea" instead of supper. In Scotland, "slacks' are ski pants, "trouser" are pants, and "pants" are underwear. : ~ Needless to say, in Scotland, you wouldn't be caught dead in the - streets wearing just pants, Farm safety, first aid grovel Fiona Smith spent a week or so in Blackstock and is happy to report things aren't too different here than in her native Scotland. See story for details. tours pack Aggie day Farm safety, first aid, farm tours, new friends, all packed into a day! And what a day it was! Participants in the Agricrew and Junior Agriculturalist programs ex- perienced an orientation session at Uxbridge on Saturday, June 7. The day began with a farm safe- ty talk by Blaine Kennedy, Youth Employment Co-ordinator for Victoria-Haliburton. Blaine outlined the hazards of farm machinery and animals and how to avoid them. All thirty Junior Aggies and crew members proved to be experts after writing a farm safety quiz. Following a doughnut break, the Agricrews and Junior Agriculturalists went their separate ways. In preparation for their summer of working and living with a farm family, the Junior Agriculturalists saw what a working farm looked like by touring the denOuden dairy WEDDING INVITATIONS and Accessories PORT PERRY STAR 235 Queen Street Port Perry 985-7383 dn Looking for A Place to Advertise Your Business?

The Junior Aggies were impressed with the computerized technology used. Agricrews shed a little sweat together while working at the farm of John and Pam Noble. Cleaning up a hay mow and stable united the students in a common purpose. After lunch, we learned about first aid with an informative and enter- taining talk by Robin John, a registered nurse. We hope that the students will not need to use the first aid knowledge with their farm safe- ty consciousness. Students finished the day with much knowledge and many friends richer, determined to make their summer of agricultural work a success.
