Brainstorming...Jodi Clarkson discusses her ide- as for Howick Township at a recent community meeting. Township residents discuss future at planning session Howick Township residents had an opportunity to express their ide- as for the future of the township at a planning session at Howick Pub- lic Central School on April 25. Concerned about economic de- velopment, vital conununities, en- vironmental issues and opportuni, ties for young people, these people met with Rob Straby from Turn, berry Twp, a representative of the Ontario Healthy Conununittes Secretariat. Mr. Straby led the brainstorming process through several stages. He explained his focus is on helping people to broaden their vision of their commtmity to see what kind of a social and physical landscape they want in the near future. "The idea is for you to choose what you would like to see here, for everyone to become involved in the decisions," he said as he en- couraged groups of residents to think of any possible projects that will help Howick over the next five years. No idea was considered too strange or unworkable; in fact the more imaginative the idea the bet- ter because, in this sort of sharing, one suggestion can often lead to another that will, work well in a community. After the groups had noted all their ideas on wall. charts, Mr. Straby asked them to sort these into general categories. -Villages Development, in- cluding suggestions for a town square, tree planting, street lights and garbage containers, clean-up projects for buildings and grassy areas, and an 'automatic teller machine. -Recreation - (especially for youth), including ideas for walking trails,a fishing derby, rafting on the Maitland River, teams and an indoor pool. -Rural Community Marketing, including plans for a farmersmar- ket, souvenirs, a market for crafts such as woodworking, and fann tours. -Community Networking, In- cluding ideas for a township brochure, an information centre, community cable TV, an environ. mental council, a 140th anniver- sary celebration, and co-ordination of various community groups. -Historical Restorations, in - chiding ideas for the Gorrie Mill restoration project and construc- tion of a bridge over the river in Fordwich. 110WICK VISION 2000 Before members of the commu- nity began signing up to help on committees to investigate sugges- tions in each of the five categories, they decided on a name for their ongoing project-"Howick Vision 2000." The purpose of the project is to ensure Howick remains a progres- sive community, prepared to make cbanges, instead of finding change happening beyond their control. • The committees welcome any ideas from the community and also welcome additional members who wish to help make things hap- pen in Howick. • For further information phone Rosemary Rognvaldson at 335- 3850 or Linda Henhoffer at 335- 3887. others of all .natures should be. remembered 0 n Mother's , Day, when we honour the mothers of our own species, spare a warm thought for the mothers of other spei- cies as well. For any species, the myriad details of survival are part of a Monte HUMMEL strategy to fulfill a single, overwhelming imperative: successful repro- duction. . Everything is focused on maintaining the number of individuals sus- tainable within a given habitat. It's simple mathematics: if species members are born at a faster rate than the rate at which they die, the population increases. If, over a given time, more individuals die than are born, numbers decline. Once, born, offspring must also survive long enough to become capa- ble of reproducing once again. Biologists call this "recruitment." Only then has, aliopulation or a'species ensured its survival for another gen- eration. Mothers are responsible for nurturing the newborn and often teach skills necessary to reach maturity, especially in mammals. So think about the mother Grizzly Bear emerging from her den after a long winter. She is thin and a little tattered. Shortly after moving into • the den about three months earlier she gave birth to two cubs. All three have lived off her stored body' fat since then. She has lost a quarter of her body .weight while nursing, but the cubs are fat and happy as the amble from the den to 'begin their exploraticins. Think of mother Blue Whale, who gives birth to an infant the size of an elephant after a gestation of nearly a year, and then provides the calf . with. 250 litres of milk a day for eight more months. Think of the Loggerhead Turtle who comes ashore at night with oth- er female turtles to lay eggs.' The big Loggerheads have always done this along coastlines of the northern hemisphere. But in recent times human encroachment upon the turtles' favourite laying grounds has drastically lowered the ani- mals' reproductions rates. Fewer and, fewer females irive each season to brave the beaches, but the still come. It is in the nature of all species to try. Aroimd the world, wild apimal mothers fight for the survival of their • offspring and thus for the survival, of their species. Sadly, it is often hu- man indifference that keeps them from succeeding when human com- passion would help ensure their success. 4• Nature'S Miracles is brought to you by the Advance -Times and the World Wildlife Fund Canada.
