Explore the world of reptiles and
amphibians this fall when the
"Snakes Alive" program comes to
the local library. The program co-
ordinator is Jim Lovisek of the
Toronto Nature Centre.
Throughout the ages, reptiles and
amphibians have inspired awe,
curiousity and even worship. To this
day, many people fear these animals
though numerous species are
beautiful, completely harmless and
beneficial.
The "Snakes Alive" program
features lane snakes from Ontario
and around the world and introduces
basic facts about snakes, including
4•
their feeding habits and special
adaptations. It also should dispel'
some cornr1non myths and
misconceptions surrounding these
creatures.
Exciting, educationl and often
humorous, each program stertswith
an audio-visual show and then offers
audience members an opportunity to
touch an array of live snakes. Direct
contact with these animals
generates enthusiasm `among
children and encourages youngsters
to learn more about there.
Sponsored by the Huron. County
Public Library, with the assistance
of the Outreach program of the
Rural ministry helps
farmers in trouble
The Queens Bush Rural Ministry
began operations in December of
1987 and since that time has logged
just over 1,000 calls. The service is
free, funded largely by the, United
Church, with donations from other
denominations being sought. A 10 -
person board of directors oversees
the general running of this service,
while two hired co-ordinators,
Brenda Mason and Brian Ireland,
deal with the incoming calls. Collect
calls are accepted at 392-6090.
The majority of the calls come
from within Grey, Bruce, Huron or
Wellington Counties. Calls from
-outsider this radius are received -on a
less common basis but are en
couraged and accepted, regardless
of the vicinity. The co-ordinators can
connect the callers with the services
they require within their own areas.
Fully 80 per cent of the calls are of
a financial nature when initially
received. Once the problems unfold,
underlying problems such as
marriage difficulties, family
problems, emotional instability and
pastoral requirements become
obvious. In addition, the callers
often need expert help in dealing
with the Federal Debt Review
Board, Farm Credit or financial
institutions. Personal counselling
and referrals to both professional
and volunteer services and people,
are organized for these callers to use
in their difficulty until they find
something or someone they are
comfortable with.
Anyone needing a compassionate.
ear or help of any kind, or anyone'
kdowing someone who needs help, is,
asked to keep this number in mind:
