cheating others:Our sexual needs
given to us by God, are fulfilled in
marriage not in brief sexual
encounters.
As Christ told the devil, bread is not
enough to sustain the life and the
spirit: -Religious magic, impressive
though it may be, doesn't work to
spread religion like acts of faith, hope
and charity in the community. Is our
religion leading us past temptation, to
the place where we want to be?

Grads
Tributes and accolades rang in the
rafters avoid and new graduates
returned for an alumni dance that
helped kick • off 20th anniversary
celebrations at Centralia College of .
Agricultural Technology.
Many graduates were approached
before the March 7 dance to give an
assessment of their alma mater. All
of them were unanimous in saying the
college opened doors for them.
"Centralia made my life possible,"
said Art Bell, a manager at an On-
tario feed elevator company.An acci-
dent put him in a wheelchair for seven
years. "I needed a career where 1
could use my head. An education
made that happen.
Steven Barendregt is a prize-
winning agricultural commercial
lender with the Bank of Montreal in
Tillsonburg He said Centralia gave
nim confidence and opened up his op-
tions and capabilities.
"I realized that without education
I'd be shovelling manure all my life."
Both Bell ('81 i and Barendregt
3'85 t are among a group of graduates
who are asked back to be guest lec-
- turers on a spot basis. This is a tradi-
tion that is gradually developing as
the alumni population grows, now at
some 2,000 graduates.
Another of the graduates polled who
returns to lecture every year is Mike
O'Neill ('73) who runs a successful
broiler chicken operation in
Lucknow.
"I tell the students about broiler
production: for instance. how to meet
the need for chicken mcnuggets. I
also tell them farming is a business.
Times -Advocate, March 1 1, 1987 Page 5A-
yive LCAT full marks
The time is passing when a farmer
can plant a field and not know what
it will pay."
O'Neill. says the students are
younger all tha time, "like babies to
me now" He learned about the col-
lege at high school and thought it
would teach him how to be successful-
ly self-employed.
Nearly all of the graduates heard
about what Centralia offered while at
public or high school. The college
makes annual recruitment visits to
about 1:30 schools in southern Ontario
to promote the benefits of a career in
agriculture and food.
Shirley Inglis 3'81) first heard about
Centralia from her .,guidance;
counsellor in grade eight. She always
wanted to work with animals; her
education in animal health technology
landed her a technician's job in the
small animal clinic at the Ontario
Veterinary College in Guelph.
"There are 12 or so Centralia
graduates here from different years
-- all the way back to the first year.
This is the creme de la creme in
terms of teaching hospitals for
clinical -studies and has the best
equipment and referrals."
Another graduate, Chris Cassidy
'781, is bringing along dietetic intern
students from Centralia College as
part of her supervisory role at the
food production centre at Victoria
Hospital, London. She has a lot of
respect for the calibre of the interns
she helps train
-If I had to do it over. I would
definitely go to Centralia again," says
Cassidy.
"The course content and ex-
perience in the food service manage-
ment program I took was excellent.
Special attention is given to every stu-
dent. It=s not surprising they turn out
so well."
Some of the graduates distinguish
themselves particularly. One excep-
tional student. Neil Hemingway. i '7:3).
returned to the farm to start ex-
perimental work on solar heating of
pig houses and innovated manure
storage pit design.
Bank Koskamp '74) went to Africa
under the federal government pro-
gram, ('USO. He has been back
several times and been involved in in-
troducting .new vegetables in Nor-
thern Ghana, making better wells for
water and conducting studies on
"river blindness".
A growing number of Centralia
graduates are going into research.
'They have the example of Chris
Lipohar-Elder '75) to inspire them.
This animal health technician has
assisted organ transplant researchers
at University Hospitjal in London for
the past six years. Apd she is another .
who has returned to Teach a course on
research at the college.
According to the retiring manager
of student services. Don Orth, most of
the students are proud of the college
to the extent that about 20 per cent of
the faculty are graduates on a full or
part-time basis.
Orth says many have married
while at the college, which has usually
worked out well. "They behave bet-
ter in residence. Nlarriage also gives
