1am writin g in response to the com menshywry abo ut energy conserva ti on in the fall issue o f th e Cucpi AIII17 0IlI The arshyticle by Irene Kock CBS middot~n quite rightly points to the neecl for greater conshyservati on and for improving the effic ienshycy of how energy is used

The author s motivation for writing however ap pears to be her rather strong anti-nuclear beliefs As inclicated in theshycapti on she is a member o f a committee for nuclear phaseout

I fin cl the concept 0 1 nuclea r phlseout disconcerting and the ljuestion tod ay seems more and more whether or wi ther for the nuclear in clustry I believe our soc iet y has bene fit ed immense ly from nuc lea r tec hnol ogy and that it can make subs tantial contributions in the 1uture

For that Imiddoteason I dont belie ve it s in the publics best interet to phase it ou t Wh ymiddot) Because an appreciable amo unt of kno wledge in areas such as phy~iolshyogy genetics - even eco logy - wo uld not ha ve been obtained wne it not for th e availability of short -li ved tracer radio-isotopes dni ved from nuclear reactors

Indeed se veral uiscoveries that led to Nobe l prizes in areas such as physio lshyogy and med ic ine wou ld not ha ve been poss ible without nuclear reactor-deri ved radio-i sotopes Thi s includes the disshycove ry of lJlOnoclonal antibodies and deta iled in fo rm ation Oil how drugs wo rk

Some of these discoveries have evolved to become invaluabl e as too ls for the d iagnosi s and managemcn t of disease In fact some 30 per cent of patient en tcring hospital today undergo a nuclear-based proceuure

On the isue of se)fety a rece nt study that fo ll owed more th an 100000 people given th erapeutic doses of radi oiod ine to treat thyroid disea~e ~howed no ev id ence of any toxicity up to 40 years after treatment

I am aware o f research undelmiddot way in Canadian hospitals to harness specia lshyized radi o- i so tope~ to treat diseases such as cancer When combined with biotechshynology-based tumo r-targeting molecu les ce rtain radio-isotopes offer enormous promise fo r prov iding a loca lshyized therapeuti c respon se witho ut th e

Well be in toue

At the end of every conshyvocation address former U of G president Burt Matthews OAC 47 would congratulate

Guelphs new graduates and tell them Well be in touch One of the ways he meant to stay in touch with those graduates was through the Guelph Alumnus - for 25 years the UniversityS number one link with alumni

Every significant event that s taken place on campus in the past 25 years (and Inanythat happened decades before) has been reported in the magazine And I daresay thousands of its pages have been clipped and pasted into the scrapshybooks of alumni who want to remember an event an achievement or an accolade

Through 25 years and almost] 00 isshysues the Guelph Alumnus has helped rekindle old memories and ignite new ones It has recorded historic events on campus - the dedication of the McLaughlin Library the first kickoff at Alumni Stadium the sod turning for the environmental biologyhorticulshytural science complex and the opening of Olympic-sized athletic facilities It s been a voice for the alumni asshysoc iations and a venue for recognizing alumni award winners

It has also maintained an ongoing correspondence among alumni Readers have been generous with stories and photographs and nostalgia wins hands down as the most popular theme no matter what the year Frosh initiation rites and student pranks are two of the most popular topics

Since a freckled red-haired orphan burst on the world in J 908 the popularity o f Ann of Creel Cables has never fl agged Where best-se lling romances of th e era ha ve los t the ir apshypeal Lucy Maud Montgomery s girl characters full of spunk and imaginashytion have captivated new generations fo r more than 80 years

As sa les of Montgomerys 22 novels continue to outd istance those of modern Canadian nove ls her own story shyrevealed in the di aries she faithfully kept for 53 yea rs - also seems destined to set unprecedented publishing records

Maud - not Lucy Maud - began writing a diary as a teenage r in 1889 and continued until her death in 1942

She left 10 ledge rs to her son Stuan a Toronto doc tor with inst ructions to use his Judgment about publishing them For almost four decades he postponed their release to protect those mentioned and still living But he did begin to ed it the diaries with University of Guel ph Engli sh professor Mary Rubi o and evenshytuall y - in 1981 - so ld hi s mother s diaries and sc rapbooks to the Un i vershysi ty After he died in 1984 Rubio enshyli sted co lleague Elizabeth Waterston to

hel p edit the journals for publication Oxfo rd Universi ty Press published the

first vo lum e of The Selected JOllmals of LM MOl1tgomerr in 1985 documenting the auth or s life from age 15 to 36 The second volume was publi shed in 1987

And just released in October the third volume covers Montgomerys life from age 47 to 55 A fourth - and perhaps fifth - volume will fo llow detai ling the final years of her life

For such a Ii chl y documented life unshyse ttling ga ps rem ain in the tex t of Montgomery s diaries She is known to bave ce nsored - once with a razor shyea rl y entries about he r husband And in the diaries of tbe 1920s she cryptically alludes to a shameful episode in her e lder sons life

Candid though she was ber Journal was often shaped by a writers instinct for a good story and a clear expectation th at her da il y jotting wo uld be preserved for posterit y

Up early to li ght the kitchen fire Montgomery often didn t craw l back into bed until afte r midnight Sleepl essshyness plagued her a she dreaded a re pea t att ack of her hu sbands re li gious melancholi a and fretted over two la wshysuits - one wi th her publisher who had printed one of her books without her pershymi ss ion and another wi th a Leaskdal e man suing them for dam ages in a car acshycident tha t was hi s fault

She a l 0 worried about th e fa mil ys future in the even t of church union and was beset by requeh fo r money from needy PE1 relatives

She retrented to her diary to li ck wounds and vent bottled-up fee lings And in a life tumbling with responshysibilities the diaries offe led her a chance to recover and preserve her se lf

Rubio is currently researching a biogshyraph y of Montgomery anel su spec ts that the author may have deliberately made choices in her life that would make her journal more entertaining for future readers The Guelph professor has int ershyviewed Montgomerys late son Stuart members of her ex tended family and former maids and pari shioners who remembered Montgomery and her hu sband Des pite her depth of knowledge Rubi o concludes th at nobody will be able to dec ipher the comshyplete truth abo ut Montgo mery

Not onl y has Anne insp ired young girl s in North Ameri cLl Australi a and Europe but she has al so captured the hearts of orphaned post- wa r generations in Japan And her rebellious spirit hns touched deep chords in independenceshyminded Pol es in the I 980s spawning a musical that continues to rivet a historishycally oppressed peo ple

It often comes as a shoc k to pilgrims to Princc Edward Island that Anne Shirley is in fact ficti on Readers are seduced by LM Mon tgo merys inshytimate and conspiratori al tone a g ift for storytelling inherited from her postmaster grandfather and often conshysider her and her creations kindred spirits Many read and reread Montgomerys nove ls th roughout their lives just as Charl otte Bronte fan return again and again to Ja il Eyrc and Jane Austen fans indul ge in annual feasts of Pride ond Prejlldice

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

and the Canadi an Women s Press Club She attracted the attention of prominent Canadian and British statesmen and earned the admiration of literary giants like Mark Twa in

The hi ghes t offi cial recognition Montgomery rece ived was her appointshyment as an offi ce r of the Order of the British Empire She was the first Canadian woman to rece ive this honor

Her books are perennial best-sellers and probabl y Canadas mos t enduring literary ex port Espec iall y popular in Common wea lth countri es they have been translated into more than 30 lanshyguag~s and continue to se ll we ll in Japan Poland Scandin av ia and the United States In Canadltl alone sales still average about 35000 copies a year - 50 years after her death

Oxford University Press reports that the first two volumes of Thc ScIcl(d

JOllllluis ofLM MOlilgomery - pub-I ished in [985 and 1987 - have sold a towl of 25 000 co pies unusual for a nonshyfiction wo rk The third vo lume was released in October And editors Mary Rubio and EliLabeth Waterston will produce at least one more vo lume to complete the se ries Ru bio will al so add n future biograph y of the author to the growing Montgomery lex icon

In the introduction to the third volume Rubio and Waterston describe Montgomery as a woman of extraordishynary talent - gifted with an ability to captivate readers first with her im ag inashyti ve characters and now with the story of her own life

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

1am writin g in response to the com menshywry abo ut energy conserva ti on in the fall issue o f th e Cucpi AIII17 0IlI The arshyticle by Irene Kock CBS middot~n quite rightly points to the neecl for greater conshyservati on and for improving the effic ienshycy of how energy is used

The author s motivation for writing however ap pears to be her rather strong anti-nuclear beliefs As inclicated in theshycapti on she is a member o f a committee for nuclear phaseout

I fin cl the concept 0 1 nuclea r phlseout disconcerting and the ljuestion tod ay seems more and more whether or wi ther for the nuclear in clustry I believe our soc iet y has bene fit ed immense ly from nuc lea r tec hnol ogy and that it can make subs tantial contributions in the 1uture

For that Imiddoteason I dont belie ve it s in the publics best interet to phase it ou t Wh ymiddot) Because an appreciable amo unt of kno wledge in areas such as phy~iolshyogy genetics - even eco logy - wo uld not ha ve been obtained wne it not for th e availability of short -li ved tracer radio-isotopes dni ved from nuclear reactors

Indeed se veral uiscoveries that led to Nobe l prizes in areas such as physio lshyogy and med ic ine wou ld not ha ve been poss ible without nuclear reactor-deri ved radio-i sotopes Thi s includes the disshycove ry of lJlOnoclonal antibodies and deta iled in fo rm ation Oil how drugs wo rk

Some of these discoveries have evolved to become invaluabl e as too ls for the d iagnosi s and managemcn t of disease In fact some 30 per cent of patient en tcring hospital today undergo a nuclear-based proceuure

On the isue of se)fety a rece nt study that fo ll owed more th an 100000 people given th erapeutic doses of radi oiod ine to treat thyroid disea~e ~howed no ev id ence of any toxicity up to 40 years after treatment

I am aware o f research undelmiddot way in Canadian hospitals to harness specia lshyized radi o- i so tope~ to treat diseases such as cancer When combined with biotechshynology-based tumo r-targeting molecu les ce rtain radio-isotopes offer enormous promise fo r prov iding a loca lshyized therapeuti c respon se witho ut th e

Well be in toue

At the end of every conshyvocation address former U of G president Burt Matthews OAC 47 would congratulate

Guelphs new graduates and tell them Well be in touch One of the ways he meant to stay in touch with those graduates was through the Guelph Alumnus - for 25 years the UniversityS number one link with alumni

Every significant event that s taken place on campus in the past 25 years (and Inanythat happened decades before) has been reported in the magazine And I daresay thousands of its pages have been clipped and pasted into the scrapshybooks of alumni who want to remember an event an achievement or an accolade

Through 25 years and almost] 00 isshysues the Guelph Alumnus has helped rekindle old memories and ignite new ones It has recorded historic events on campus - the dedication of the McLaughlin Library the first kickoff at Alumni Stadium the sod turning for the environmental biologyhorticulshytural science complex and the opening of Olympic-sized athletic facilities It s been a voice for the alumni asshysoc iations and a venue for recognizing alumni award winners

It has also maintained an ongoing correspondence among alumni Readers have been generous with stories and photographs and nostalgia wins hands down as the most popular theme no matter what the year Frosh initiation rites and student pranks are two of the most popular topics

Since a freckled red-haired orphan burst on the world in J 908 the popularity o f Ann of Creel Cables has never fl agged Where best-se lling romances of th e era ha ve los t the ir apshypeal Lucy Maud Montgomery s girl characters full of spunk and imaginashytion have captivated new generations fo r more than 80 years

As sa les of Montgomerys 22 novels continue to outd istance those of modern Canadian nove ls her own story shyrevealed in the di aries she faithfully kept for 53 yea rs - also seems destined to set unprecedented publishing records

Maud - not Lucy Maud - began writing a diary as a teenage r in 1889 and continued until her death in 1942

She left 10 ledge rs to her son Stuan a Toronto doc tor with inst ructions to use his Judgment about publishing them For almost four decades he postponed their release to protect those mentioned and still living But he did begin to ed it the diaries with University of Guel ph Engli sh professor Mary Rubi o and evenshytuall y - in 1981 - so ld hi s mother s diaries and sc rapbooks to the Un i vershysi ty After he died in 1984 Rubio enshyli sted co lleague Elizabeth Waterston to

hel p edit the journals for publication Oxfo rd Universi ty Press published the

first vo lum e of The Selected JOllmals of LM MOl1tgomerr in 1985 documenting the auth or s life from age 15 to 36 The second volume was publi shed in 1987

And just released in October the third volume covers Montgomerys life from age 47 to 55 A fourth - and perhaps fifth - volume will fo llow detai ling the final years of her life

For such a Ii chl y documented life unshyse ttling ga ps rem ain in the tex t of Montgomery s diaries She is known to bave ce nsored - once with a razor shyea rl y entries about he r husband And in the diaries of tbe 1920s she cryptically alludes to a shameful episode in her e lder sons life

Candid though she was ber Journal was often shaped by a writers instinct for a good story and a clear expectation th at her da il y jotting wo uld be preserved for posterit y

Gllelpli AUlIlIIIIS

Timely tooth care pays off

for pets and vets

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

1am writin g in response to the com menshywry abo ut energy conserva ti on in the fall issue o f th e Cucpi AIII17 0IlI The arshyticle by Irene Kock CBS middot~n quite rightly points to the neecl for greater conshyservati on and for improving the effic ienshycy of how energy is used

The author s motivation for writing however ap pears to be her rather strong anti-nuclear beliefs As inclicated in theshycapti on she is a member o f a committee for nuclear phaseout

I fin cl the concept 0 1 nuclea r phlseout disconcerting and the ljuestion tod ay seems more and more whether or wi ther for the nuclear in clustry I believe our soc iet y has bene fit ed immense ly from nuc lea r tec hnol ogy and that it can make subs tantial contributions in the 1uture

For that Imiddoteason I dont belie ve it s in the publics best interet to phase it ou t Wh ymiddot) Because an appreciable amo unt of kno wledge in areas such as phy~iolshyogy genetics - even eco logy - wo uld not ha ve been obtained wne it not for th e availability of short -li ved tracer radio-isotopes dni ved from nuclear reactors

Indeed se veral uiscoveries that led to Nobe l prizes in areas such as physio lshyogy and med ic ine wou ld not ha ve been poss ible without nuclear reactor-deri ved radio-i sotopes Thi s includes the disshycove ry of lJlOnoclonal antibodies and deta iled in fo rm ation Oil how drugs wo rk

Some of these discoveries have evolved to become invaluabl e as too ls for the d iagnosi s and managemcn t of disease In fact some 30 per cent of patient en tcring hospital today undergo a nuclear-based proceuure

On the isue of se)fety a rece nt study that fo ll owed more th an 100000 people given th erapeutic doses of radi oiod ine to treat thyroid disea~e ~howed no ev id ence of any toxicity up to 40 years after treatment

I am aware o f research undelmiddot way in Canadian hospitals to harness specia lshyized radi o- i so tope~ to treat diseases such as cancer When combined with biotechshynology-based tumo r-targeting molecu les ce rtain radio-isotopes offer enormous promise fo r prov iding a loca lshyized therapeuti c respon se witho ut th e

Well be in toue

At the end of every conshyvocation address former U of G president Burt Matthews OAC 47 would congratulate

Guelphs new graduates and tell them Well be in touch One of the ways he meant to stay in touch with those graduates was through the Guelph Alumnus - for 25 years the UniversityS number one link with alumni

Every significant event that s taken place on campus in the past 25 years (and Inanythat happened decades before) has been reported in the magazine And I daresay thousands of its pages have been clipped and pasted into the scrapshybooks of alumni who want to remember an event an achievement or an accolade

Through 25 years and almost] 00 isshysues the Guelph Alumnus has helped rekindle old memories and ignite new ones It has recorded historic events on campus - the dedication of the McLaughlin Library the first kickoff at Alumni Stadium the sod turning for the environmental biologyhorticulshytural science complex and the opening of Olympic-sized athletic facilities It s been a voice for the alumni asshysoc iations and a venue for recognizing alumni award winners

It has also maintained an ongoing correspondence among alumni Readers have been generous with stories and photographs and nostalgia wins hands down as the most popular theme no matter what the year Frosh initiation rites and student pranks are two of the most popular topics

Since a freckled red-haired orphan burst on the world in J 908 the popularity o f Ann of Creel Cables has never fl agged Where best-se lling romances of th e era ha ve los t the ir apshypeal Lucy Maud Montgomery s girl characters full of spunk and imaginashytion have captivated new generations fo r more than 80 years

As sa les of Montgomerys 22 novels continue to outd istance those of modern Canadian nove ls her own story shyrevealed in the di aries she faithfully kept for 53 yea rs - also seems destined to set unprecedented publishing records

Maud - not Lucy Maud - began writing a diary as a teenage r in 1889 and continued until her death in 1942

She left 10 ledge rs to her son Stuan a Toronto doc tor with inst ructions to use his Judgment about publishing them For almost four decades he postponed their release to protect those mentioned and still living But he did begin to ed it the diaries with University of Guel ph Engli sh professor Mary Rubi o and evenshytuall y - in 1981 - so ld hi s mother s diaries and sc rapbooks to the Un i vershysi ty After he died in 1984 Rubio enshyli sted co lleague Elizabeth Waterston to

hel p edit the journals for publication Oxfo rd Universi ty Press published the

first vo lum e of The Selected JOllmals of LM MOl1tgomerr in 1985 documenting the auth or s life from age 15 to 36 The second volume was publi shed in 1987

And just released in October the third volume covers Montgomerys life from age 47 to 55 A fourth - and perhaps fifth - volume will fo llow detai ling the final years of her life

For such a Ii chl y documented life unshyse ttling ga ps rem ain in the tex t of Montgomery s diaries She is known to bave ce nsored - once with a razor shyea rl y entries about he r husband And in the diaries of tbe 1920s she cryptically alludes to a shameful episode in her e lder sons life

Candid though she was ber Journal was often shaped by a writers instinct for a good story and a clear expectation th at her da il y jotting wo uld be preserved for posterit y

Timely tooth care pays off

for pets and vets

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

1am writin g in response to the com menshywry abo ut energy conserva ti on in the fall issue o f th e Cucpi AIII17 0IlI The arshyticle by Irene Kock CBS middot~n quite rightly points to the neecl for greater conshyservati on and for improving the effic ienshycy of how energy is used

The author s motivation for writing however ap pears to be her rather strong anti-nuclear beliefs As inclicated in theshycapti on she is a member o f a committee for nuclear phaseout

I fin cl the concept 0 1 nuclea r phlseout disconcerting and the ljuestion tod ay seems more and more whether or wi ther for the nuclear in clustry I believe our soc iet y has bene fit ed immense ly from nuc lea r tec hnol ogy and that it can make subs tantial contributions in the 1uture

For that Imiddoteason I dont belie ve it s in the publics best interet to phase it ou t Wh ymiddot) Because an appreciable amo unt of kno wledge in areas such as phy~iolshyogy genetics - even eco logy - wo uld not ha ve been obtained wne it not for th e availability of short -li ved tracer radio-isotopes dni ved from nuclear reactors

Some of these discoveries have evolved to become invaluabl e as too ls for the d iagnosi s and managemcn t of disease In fact some 30 per cent of patient en tcring hospital today undergo a nuclear-based proceuure

On the isue of se)fety a rece nt study that fo ll owed more th an 100000 people given th erapeutic doses of radi oiod ine to treat thyroid disea~e ~howed no ev id ence of any toxicity up to 40 years after treatment

I am aware o f research undelmiddot way in Canadian hospitals to harness specia lshyized radi o- i so tope~ to treat diseases such as cancer When combined with biotechshynology-based tumo r-targeting molecu les ce rtain radio-isotopes offer enormous promise fo r prov iding a loca lshyized therapeuti c respon se witho ut th e

Well be in toue

At the end of every conshyvocation address former U of G president Burt Matthews OAC 47 would congratulate

Guelphs new graduates and tell them Well be in touch One of the ways he meant to stay in touch with those graduates was through the Guelph Alumnus - for 25 years the UniversityS number one link with alumni

Every significant event that s taken place on campus in the past 25 years (and Inanythat happened decades before) has been reported in the magazine And I daresay thousands of its pages have been clipped and pasted into the scrapshybooks of alumni who want to remember an event an achievement or an accolade

Through 25 years and almost] 00 isshysues the Guelph Alumnus has helped rekindle old memories and ignite new ones It has recorded historic events on campus - the dedication of the McLaughlin Library the first kickoff at Alumni Stadium the sod turning for the environmental biologyhorticulshytural science complex and the opening of Olympic-sized athletic facilities It s been a voice for the alumni asshysoc iations and a venue for recognizing alumni award winners

It has also maintained an ongoing correspondence among alumni Readers have been generous with stories and photographs and nostalgia wins hands down as the most popular theme no matter what the year Frosh initiation rites and student pranks are two of the most popular topics

Since a freckled red-haired orphan burst on the world in J 908 the popularity o f Ann of Creel Cables has never fl agged Where best-se lling romances of th e era ha ve los t the ir apshypeal Lucy Maud Montgomery s girl characters full of spunk and imaginashytion have captivated new generations fo r more than 80 years

As sa les of Montgomerys 22 novels continue to outd istance those of modern Canadian nove ls her own story shyrevealed in the di aries she faithfully kept for 53 yea rs - also seems destined to set unprecedented publishing records

Maud - not Lucy Maud - began writing a diary as a teenage r in 1889 and continued until her death in 1942

She left 10 ledge rs to her son Stuan a Toronto doc tor with inst ructions to use his Judgment about publishing them For almost four decades he postponed their release to protect those mentioned and still living But he did begin to ed it the diaries with University of Guel ph Engli sh professor Mary Rubi o and evenshytuall y - in 1981 - so ld hi s mother s diaries and sc rapbooks to the Un i vershysi ty After he died in 1984 Rubio enshyli sted co lleague Elizabeth Waterston to

hel p edit the journals for publication Oxfo rd Universi ty Press published the

first vo lum e of The Selected JOllmals of LM MOl1tgomerr in 1985 documenting the auth or s life from age 15 to 36 The second volume was publi shed in 1987

And just released in October the third volume covers Montgomerys life from age 47 to 55 A fourth - and perhaps fifth - volume will fo llow detai ling the final years of her life

For such a Ii chl y documented life unshyse ttling ga ps rem ain in the tex t of Montgomery s diaries She is known to bave ce nsored - once with a razor shyea rl y entries about he r husband And in the diaries of tbe 1920s she cryptically alludes to a shameful episode in her e lder sons life

Candid though she was ber Journal was often shaped by a writers instinct for a good story and a clear expectation th at her da il y jotting wo uld be preserved for posterit y

Timely tooth care pays off

for pets and vets

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Guelphs new graduates and tell them Well be in touch One of the ways he meant to stay in touch with those graduates was through the Guelph Alumnus - for 25 years the UniversityS number one link with alumni

Every significant event that s taken place on campus in the past 25 years (and Inanythat happened decades before) has been reported in the magazine And I daresay thousands of its pages have been clipped and pasted into the scrapshybooks of alumni who want to remember an event an achievement or an accolade

Through 25 years and almost] 00 isshysues the Guelph Alumnus has helped rekindle old memories and ignite new ones It has recorded historic events on campus - the dedication of the McLaughlin Library the first kickoff at Alumni Stadium the sod turning for the environmental biologyhorticulshytural science complex and the opening of Olympic-sized athletic facilities It s been a voice for the alumni asshysoc iations and a venue for recognizing alumni award winners

It has also maintained an ongoing correspondence among alumni Readers have been generous with stories and photographs and nostalgia wins hands down as the most popular theme no matter what the year Frosh initiation rites and student pranks are two of the most popular topics

Since a freckled red-haired orphan burst on the world in J 908 the popularity o f Ann of Creel Cables has never fl agged Where best-se lling romances of th e era ha ve los t the ir apshypeal Lucy Maud Montgomery s girl characters full of spunk and imaginashytion have captivated new generations fo r more than 80 years

As sa les of Montgomerys 22 novels continue to outd istance those of modern Canadian nove ls her own story shyrevealed in the di aries she faithfully kept for 53 yea rs - also seems destined to set unprecedented publishing records

Maud - not Lucy Maud - began writing a diary as a teenage r in 1889 and continued until her death in 1942

She left 10 ledge rs to her son Stuan a Toronto doc tor with inst ructions to use his Judgment about publishing them For almost four decades he postponed their release to protect those mentioned and still living But he did begin to ed it the diaries with University of Guel ph Engli sh professor Mary Rubi o and evenshytuall y - in 1981 - so ld hi s mother s diaries and sc rapbooks to the Un i vershysi ty After he died in 1984 Rubio enshyli sted co lleague Elizabeth Waterston to

hel p edit the journals for publication Oxfo rd Universi ty Press published the

first vo lum e of The Selected JOllmals of LM MOl1tgomerr in 1985 documenting the auth or s life from age 15 to 36 The second volume was publi shed in 1987

And just released in October the third volume covers Montgomerys life from age 47 to 55 A fourth - and perhaps fifth - volume will fo llow detai ling the final years of her life

For such a Ii chl y documented life unshyse ttling ga ps rem ain in the tex t of Montgomery s diaries She is known to bave ce nsored - once with a razor shyea rl y entries about he r husband And in the diaries of tbe 1920s she cryptically alludes to a shameful episode in her e lder sons life

Candid though she was ber Journal was often shaped by a writers instinct for a good story and a clear expectation th at her da il y jotting wo uld be preserved for posterit y

She retrented to her diary to li ck wounds and vent bottled-up fee lings And in a life tumbling with responshysibilities the diaries offe led her a chance to recover and preserve her se lf

Rubio is currently researching a biogshyraph y of Montgomery anel su spec ts that the author may have deliberately made choices in her life that would make her journal more entertaining for future readers The Guelph professor has int ershyviewed Montgomerys late son Stuart members of her ex tended family and former maids and pari shioners who remembered Montgomery and her hu sband Des pite her depth of knowledge Rubi o concludes th at nobody will be able to dec ipher the comshyplete truth abo ut Montgo mery

Not onl y has Anne insp ired young girl s in North Ameri cLl Australi a and Europe but she has al so captured the hearts of orphaned post- wa r generations in Japan And her rebellious spirit hns touched deep chords in independenceshyminded Pol es in the I 980s spawning a musical that continues to rivet a historishycally oppressed peo ple

It often comes as a shoc k to pilgrims to Princc Edward Island that Anne Shirley is in fact ficti on Readers are seduced by LM Mon tgo merys inshytimate and conspiratori al tone a g ift for storytelling inherited from her postmaster grandfather and often conshysider her and her creations kindred spirits Many read and reread Montgomerys nove ls th roughout their lives just as Charl otte Bronte fan return again and again to Ja il Eyrc and Jane Austen fans indul ge in annual feasts of Pride ond Prejlldice

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

Timely tooth care pays off

for pets and vets

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

After graduating from Eastwood Collegiate in Ki tchener Hofstetter enrolled at then Waterloo Lutheran Universi ty Favorable reports From friends at Wellington College conshyvinced her to transfer to the new Universi ty of Guelph in her second year The semester system suited the English major s speed She took three semesters a year instead of two and earned her honors BA in three year~ It was 1968 Then she completed an MA at the University of Western Ontario in 10 months

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Well be in toue

At the end of every conshyvocation address former U of G president Burt Matthews OAC 47 would congratulate

Guelphs new graduates and tell them Well be in touch One of the ways he meant to stay in touch with those graduates was through the Guelph Alumnus - for 25 years the UniversityS number one link with alumni

Every significant event that s taken place on campus in the past 25 years (and Inanythat happened decades before) has been reported in the magazine And I daresay thousands of its pages have been clipped and pasted into the scrapshybooks of alumni who want to remember an event an achievement or an accolade

Through 25 years and almost] 00 isshysues the Guelph Alumnus has helped rekindle old memories and ignite new ones It has recorded historic events on campus - the dedication of the McLaughlin Library the first kickoff at Alumni Stadium the sod turning for the environmental biologyhorticulshytural science complex and the opening of Olympic-sized athletic facilities It s been a voice for the alumni asshysoc iations and a venue for recognizing alumni award winners

It has also maintained an ongoing correspondence among alumni Readers have been generous with stories and photographs and nostalgia wins hands down as the most popular theme no matter what the year Frosh initiation rites and student pranks are two of the most popular topics

Since a freckled red-haired orphan burst on the world in J 908 the popularity o f Ann of Creel Cables has never fl agged Where best-se lling romances of th e era ha ve los t the ir apshypeal Lucy Maud Montgomery s girl characters full of spunk and imaginashytion have captivated new generations fo r more than 80 years

As sa les of Montgomerys 22 novels continue to outd istance those of modern Canadian nove ls her own story shyrevealed in the di aries she faithfully kept for 53 yea rs - also seems destined to set unprecedented publishing records

Maud - not Lucy Maud - began writing a diary as a teenage r in 1889 and continued until her death in 1942

She left 10 ledge rs to her son Stuan a Toronto doc tor with inst ructions to use his Judgment about publishing them For almost four decades he postponed their release to protect those mentioned and still living But he did begin to ed it the diaries with University of Guel ph Engli sh professor Mary Rubi o and evenshytuall y - in 1981 - so ld hi s mother s diaries and sc rapbooks to the Un i vershysi ty After he died in 1984 Rubio enshyli sted co lleague Elizabeth Waterston to

hel p edit the journals for publication Oxfo rd Universi ty Press published the

first vo lum e of The Selected JOllmals of LM MOl1tgomerr in 1985 documenting the auth or s life from age 15 to 36 The second volume was publi shed in 1987

And just released in October the third volume covers Montgomerys life from age 47 to 55 A fourth - and perhaps fifth - volume will fo llow detai ling the final years of her life

For such a Ii chl y documented life unshyse ttling ga ps rem ain in the tex t of Montgomery s diaries She is known to bave ce nsored - once with a razor shyea rl y entries about he r husband And in the diaries of tbe 1920s she cryptically alludes to a shameful episode in her e lder sons life

Candid though she was ber Journal was often shaped by a writers instinct for a good story and a clear expectation th at her da il y jotting wo uld be preserved for posterit y

Rubio is currently researching a biogshyraph y of Montgomery anel su spec ts that the author may have deliberately made choices in her life that would make her journal more entertaining for future readers The Guelph professor has int ershyviewed Montgomerys late son Stuart members of her ex tended family and former maids and pari shioners who remembered Montgomery and her hu sband Des pite her depth of knowledge Rubi o concludes th at nobody will be able to dec ipher the comshyplete truth abo ut Montgo mery

Not onl y has Anne insp ired young girl s in North Ameri cLl Australi a and Europe but she has al so captured the hearts of orphaned post- wa r generations in Japan And her rebellious spirit hns touched deep chords in independenceshyminded Pol es in the I 980s spawning a musical that continues to rivet a historishycally oppressed peo ple

It often comes as a shoc k to pilgrims to Princc Edward Island that Anne Shirley is in fact ficti on Readers are seduced by LM Mon tgo merys inshytimate and conspiratori al tone a g ift for storytelling inherited from her postmaster grandfather and often conshysider her and her creations kindred spirits Many read and reread Montgomerys nove ls th roughout their lives just as Charl otte Bronte fan return again and again to Ja il Eyrc and Jane Austen fans indul ge in annual feasts of Pride ond Prejlldice

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

and the Canadi an Women s Press Club She attracted the attention of prominent Canadian and British statesmen and earned the admiration of literary giants like Mark Twa in

The hi ghes t offi cial recognition Montgomery rece ived was her appointshyment as an offi ce r of the Order of the British Empire She was the first Canadian woman to rece ive this honor

Her books are perennial best-sellers and probabl y Canadas mos t enduring literary ex port Espec iall y popular in Common wea lth countri es they have been translated into more than 30 lanshyguag~s and continue to se ll we ll in Japan Poland Scandin av ia and the United States In Canadltl alone sales still average about 35000 copies a year - 50 years after her death

Oxford University Press reports that the first two volumes of Thc ScIcl(d

In the introduction to the third volume Rubio and Waterston describe Montgomery as a woman of extraordishynary talent - gifted with an ability to captivate readers first with her im ag inashyti ve characters and now with the story of her own life

Timely tooth care pays off

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

growing up on a quiet street in Kitchener Ont she took the you-c an -do-an yth ing -you -se t -you r -mindshyto message as licence to leap at every opponunity that came her way Today she is pre sident of Sheridan College

My parents were exceptional says Hofstetter of her recentl y deceased mother and father I could never downplay the sigshynificance of their support and enshycouragement she says

One of only two female college presidents in Ontario Hofstetter 45 has made a career of carving out new roles for herse lf Standing in mortarboard and gown before hundreds of graduating Sheridan College students each spring she ofshyfers these words of advice Learn to spot an opportunity be willing to take a ri sk for the experience dont

As a child Hofstetter devoured books Her mother once brought home a bo x of 44 Elsie Dinsmore books about the life of a southern belle In no time she had read her way through the box A few years later she read her way through university - and fast

After graduating from Eastwood Collegiate in Ki tchener Hofstetter enrolled at then Waterloo Lutheran Universi ty Favorable reports From friends at Wellington College conshyvinced her to transfer to the new Universi ty of Guelph in her second year The semester system suited the English major s speed She took three semesters a year instead of two and earned her honors BA in three year~ It was 1968 Then she completed an MA at the University of Western Ontario in 10 months

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

and studied theatre arts at th e Banff School of Fine Arts

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

A committee junkie Hofstetter has parl ayed her interest in the arts into board memberships on arts councils and cultural centres in the Burlington area Recentl y resigning after years on Hamilton hospital boards she has been invited to join the Mi ss issauga Living Art Centre board Tuesday evenings offered some respite from a dense schedule until she decided to take a course to

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Well be in toue

At the end of every conshyvocation address former U of G president Burt Matthews OAC 47 would congratulate

Guelphs new graduates and tell them Well be in touch One of the ways he meant to stay in touch with those graduates was through the Guelph Alumnus - for 25 years the UniversityS number one link with alumni

Every significant event that s taken place on campus in the past 25 years (and Inanythat happened decades before) has been reported in the magazine And I daresay thousands of its pages have been clipped and pasted into the scrapshybooks of alumni who want to remember an event an achievement or an accolade

Through 25 years and almost] 00 isshysues the Guelph Alumnus has helped rekindle old memories and ignite new ones It has recorded historic events on campus - the dedication of the McLaughlin Library the first kickoff at Alumni Stadium the sod turning for the environmental biologyhorticulshytural science complex and the opening of Olympic-sized athletic facilities It s been a voice for the alumni asshysoc iations and a venue for recognizing alumni award winners

It has also maintained an ongoing correspondence among alumni Readers have been generous with stories and photographs and nostalgia wins hands down as the most popular theme no matter what the year Frosh initiation rites and student pranks are two of the most popular topics

Since a freckled red-haired orphan burst on the world in J 908 the popularity o f Ann of Creel Cables has never fl agged Where best-se lling romances of th e era ha ve los t the ir apshypeal Lucy Maud Montgomery s girl characters full of spunk and imaginashytion have captivated new generations fo r more than 80 years

As sa les of Montgomerys 22 novels continue to outd istance those of modern Canadian nove ls her own story shyrevealed in the di aries she faithfully kept for 53 yea rs - also seems destined to set unprecedented publishing records

Maud - not Lucy Maud - began writing a diary as a teenage r in 1889 and continued until her death in 1942

She left 10 ledge rs to her son Stuan a Toronto doc tor with inst ructions to use his Judgment about publishing them For almost four decades he postponed their release to protect those mentioned and still living But he did begin to ed it the diaries with University of Guel ph Engli sh professor Mary Rubi o and evenshytuall y - in 1981 - so ld hi s mother s diaries and sc rapbooks to the Un i vershysi ty After he died in 1984 Rubio enshyli sted co lleague Elizabeth Waterston to

hel p edit the journals for publication Oxfo rd Universi ty Press published the

first vo lum e of The Selected JOllmals of LM MOl1tgomerr in 1985 documenting the auth or s life from age 15 to 36 The second volume was publi shed in 1987

And just released in October the third volume covers Montgomerys life from age 47 to 55 A fourth - and perhaps fifth - volume will fo llow detai ling the final years of her life

For such a Ii chl y documented life unshyse ttling ga ps rem ain in the tex t of Montgomery s diaries She is known to bave ce nsored - once with a razor shyea rl y entries about he r husband And in the diaries of tbe 1920s she cryptically alludes to a shameful episode in her e lder sons life

Candid though she was ber Journal was often shaped by a writers instinct for a good story and a clear expectation th at her da il y jotting wo uld be preserved for posterit y

Gllelpli AUlIlIIIIS

Not onl y has Anne insp ired young girl s in North Ameri cLl Australi a and Europe but she has al so captured the hearts of orphaned post- wa r generations in Japan And her rebellious spirit hns touched deep chords in independenceshyminded Pol es in the I 980s spawning a musical that continues to rivet a historishycally oppressed peo ple

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

and the Canadi an Women s Press Club She attracted the attention of prominent Canadian and British statesmen and earned the admiration of literary giants like Mark Twa in

The hi ghes t offi cial recognition Montgomery rece ived was her appointshyment as an offi ce r of the Order of the British Empire She was the first Canadian woman to rece ive this honor

Timely tooth care pays off

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

As a child Hofstetter devoured books Her mother once brought home a bo x of 44 Elsie Dinsmore books about the life of a southern belle In no time she had read her way through the box A few years later she read her way through university - and fast

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Well be in toue

At the end of every conshyvocation address former U of G president Burt Matthews OAC 47 would congratulate

Guelphs new graduates and tell them Well be in touch One of the ways he meant to stay in touch with those graduates was through the Guelph Alumnus - for 25 years the UniversityS number one link with alumni

Every significant event that s taken place on campus in the past 25 years (and Inanythat happened decades before) has been reported in the magazine And I daresay thousands of its pages have been clipped and pasted into the scrapshybooks of alumni who want to remember an event an achievement or an accolade

Through 25 years and almost] 00 isshysues the Guelph Alumnus has helped rekindle old memories and ignite new ones It has recorded historic events on campus - the dedication of the McLaughlin Library the first kickoff at Alumni Stadium the sod turning for the environmental biologyhorticulshytural science complex and the opening of Olympic-sized athletic facilities It s been a voice for the alumni asshysoc iations and a venue for recognizing alumni award winners

It has also maintained an ongoing correspondence among alumni Readers have been generous with stories and photographs and nostalgia wins hands down as the most popular theme no matter what the year Frosh initiation rites and student pranks are two of the most popular topics

Since a freckled red-haired orphan burst on the world in J 908 the popularity o f Ann of Creel Cables has never fl agged Where best-se lling romances of th e era ha ve los t the ir apshypeal Lucy Maud Montgomery s girl characters full of spunk and imaginashytion have captivated new generations fo r more than 80 years

As sa les of Montgomerys 22 novels continue to outd istance those of modern Canadian nove ls her own story shyrevealed in the di aries she faithfully kept for 53 yea rs - also seems destined to set unprecedented publishing records

Maud - not Lucy Maud - began writing a diary as a teenage r in 1889 and continued until her death in 1942

She left 10 ledge rs to her son Stuan a Toronto doc tor with inst ructions to use his Judgment about publishing them For almost four decades he postponed their release to protect those mentioned and still living But he did begin to ed it the diaries with University of Guel ph Engli sh professor Mary Rubi o and evenshytuall y - in 1981 - so ld hi s mother s diaries and sc rapbooks to the Un i vershysi ty After he died in 1984 Rubio enshyli sted co lleague Elizabeth Waterston to

hel p edit the journals for publication Oxfo rd Universi ty Press published the

first vo lum e of The Selected JOllmals of LM MOl1tgomerr in 1985 documenting the auth or s life from age 15 to 36 The second volume was publi shed in 1987

And just released in October the third volume covers Montgomerys life from age 47 to 55 A fourth - and perhaps fifth - volume will fo llow detai ling the final years of her life

For such a Ii chl y documented life unshyse ttling ga ps rem ain in the tex t of Montgomery s diaries She is known to bave ce nsored - once with a razor shyea rl y entries about he r husband And in the diaries of tbe 1920s she cryptically alludes to a shameful episode in her e lder sons life

Candid though she was ber Journal was often shaped by a writers instinct for a good story and a clear expectation th at her da il y jotting wo uld be preserved for posterit y

Rubio is currently researching a biogshyraph y of Montgomery anel su spec ts that the author may have deliberately made choices in her life that would make her journal more entertaining for future readers The Guelph professor has int ershyviewed Montgomerys late son Stuart members of her ex tended family and former maids and pari shioners who remembered Montgomery and her hu sband Des pite her depth of knowledge Rubi o concludes th at nobody will be able to dec ipher the comshyplete truth abo ut Montgo mery

Not onl y has Anne insp ired young girl s in North Ameri cLl Australi a and Europe but she has al so captured the hearts of orphaned post- wa r generations in Japan And her rebellious spirit hns touched deep chords in independenceshyminded Pol es in the I 980s spawning a musical that continues to rivet a historishycally oppressed peo ple

It often comes as a shoc k to pilgrims to Princc Edward Island that Anne Shirley is in fact ficti on Readers are seduced by LM Mon tgo merys inshytimate and conspiratori al tone a g ift for storytelling inherited from her postmaster grandfather and often conshysider her and her creations kindred spirits Many read and reread Montgomerys nove ls th roughout their lives just as Charl otte Bronte fan return again and again to Ja il Eyrc and Jane Austen fans indul ge in annual feasts of Pride ond Prejlldice

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

and the Canadi an Women s Press Club She attracted the attention of prominent Canadian and British statesmen and earned the admiration of literary giants like Mark Twa in

The hi ghes t offi cial recognition Montgomery rece ived was her appointshyment as an offi ce r of the Order of the British Empire She was the first Canadian woman to rece ive this honor

Her books are perennial best-sellers and probabl y Canadas mos t enduring literary ex port Espec iall y popular in Common wea lth countri es they have been translated into more than 30 lanshyguag~s and continue to se ll we ll in Japan Poland Scandin av ia and the United States In Canadltl alone sales still average about 35000 copies a year - 50 years after her death

Oxford University Press reports that the first two volumes of Thc ScIcl(d

JOllllluis ofLM MOlilgomery - pub-I ished in [985 and 1987 - have sold a towl of 25 000 co pies unusual for a nonshyfiction wo rk The third vo lume was released in October And editors Mary Rubio and EliLabeth Waterston will produce at least one more vo lume to complete the se ries Ru bio will al so add n future biograph y of the author to the growing Montgomery lex icon

In the introduction to the third volume Rubio and Waterston describe Montgomery as a woman of extraordishynary talent - gifted with an ability to captivate readers first with her im ag inashyti ve characters and now with the story of her own life

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

As a child Hofstetter devoured books Her mother once brought home a bo x of 44 Elsie Dinsmore books about the life of a southern belle In no time she had read her way through the box A few years later she read her way through university - and fast

After graduating from Eastwood Collegiate in Ki tchener Hofstetter enrolled at then Waterloo Lutheran Universi ty Favorable reports From friends at Wellington College conshyvinced her to transfer to the new Universi ty of Guelph in her second year The semester system suited the English major s speed She took three semesters a year instead of two and earned her honors BA in three year~ It was 1968 Then she completed an MA at the University of Western Ontario in 10 months

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

and studied theatre arts at th e Banff School of Fine Arts

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

A committee junkie Hofstetter has parl ayed her interest in the arts into board memberships on arts councils and cultural centres in the Burlington area Recentl y resigning after years on Hamilton hospital boards she has been invited to join the Mi ss issauga Living Art Centre board Tuesday evenings offered some respite from a dense schedule until she decided to take a course to

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Well be in toue

At the end of every conshyvocation address former U of G president Burt Matthews OAC 47 would congratulate

Guelphs new graduates and tell them Well be in touch One of the ways he meant to stay in touch with those graduates was through the Guelph Alumnus - for 25 years the UniversityS number one link with alumni

Every significant event that s taken place on campus in the past 25 years (and Inanythat happened decades before) has been reported in the magazine And I daresay thousands of its pages have been clipped and pasted into the scrapshybooks of alumni who want to remember an event an achievement or an accolade

Through 25 years and almost] 00 isshysues the Guelph Alumnus has helped rekindle old memories and ignite new ones It has recorded historic events on campus - the dedication of the McLaughlin Library the first kickoff at Alumni Stadium the sod turning for the environmental biologyhorticulshytural science complex and the opening of Olympic-sized athletic facilities It s been a voice for the alumni asshysoc iations and a venue for recognizing alumni award winners

It has also maintained an ongoing correspondence among alumni Readers have been generous with stories and photographs and nostalgia wins hands down as the most popular theme no matter what the year Frosh initiation rites and student pranks are two of the most popular topics

Since a freckled red-haired orphan burst on the world in J 908 the popularity o f Ann of Creel Cables has never fl agged Where best-se lling romances of th e era ha ve los t the ir apshypeal Lucy Maud Montgomery s girl characters full of spunk and imaginashytion have captivated new generations fo r more than 80 years

As sa les of Montgomerys 22 novels continue to outd istance those of modern Canadian nove ls her own story shyrevealed in the di aries she faithfully kept for 53 yea rs - also seems destined to set unprecedented publishing records

Maud - not Lucy Maud - began writing a diary as a teenage r in 1889 and continued until her death in 1942

She left 10 ledge rs to her son Stuan a Toronto doc tor with inst ructions to use his Judgment about publishing them For almost four decades he postponed their release to protect those mentioned and still living But he did begin to ed it the diaries with University of Guel ph Engli sh professor Mary Rubi o and evenshytuall y - in 1981 - so ld hi s mother s diaries and sc rapbooks to the Un i vershysi ty After he died in 1984 Rubio enshyli sted co lleague Elizabeth Waterston to

hel p edit the journals for publication Oxfo rd Universi ty Press published the

first vo lum e of The Selected JOllmals of LM MOl1tgomerr in 1985 documenting the auth or s life from age 15 to 36 The second volume was publi shed in 1987

And just released in October the third volume covers Montgomerys life from age 47 to 55 A fourth - and perhaps fifth - volume will fo llow detai ling the final years of her life

For such a Ii chl y documented life unshyse ttling ga ps rem ain in the tex t of Montgomery s diaries She is known to bave ce nsored - once with a razor shyea rl y entries about he r husband And in the diaries of tbe 1920s she cryptically alludes to a shameful episode in her e lder sons life

Candid though she was ber Journal was often shaped by a writers instinct for a good story and a clear expectation th at her da il y jotting wo uld be preserved for posterit y

Gllelpli AUlIlIIIIS

In 19R4 Stuarts widow Ruth so ld the University Montgome rys three photo albums and 1500 negatives her pe rsonal liblary trans lated and foreign editions of her own novels genealogical files manuscripts legal papers - inshyclucling her will- and photocopies of half of the 550 short stories and 500 poems she wrote durin g her lifetime

Up early to li ght the kitchen fire Montgomery often didn t craw l back into bed until afte r midnight Sleepl essshyness plagued her a she dreaded a re pea t att ack of her hu sbands re li gious melancholi a and fretted over two la wshysuits - one wi th her publisher who had printed one of her books without her pershymi ss ion and another wi th a Leaskdal e man suing them for dam ages in a car acshycident tha t was hi s fault

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

Timely tooth care pays off

for pets and vets

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Page 10: Guelph Alumnus Magazine, Winter 1993

Well be in toue

At the end of every conshyvocation address former U of G president Burt Matthews OAC 47 would congratulate

Guelphs new graduates and tell them Well be in touch One of the ways he meant to stay in touch with those graduates was through the Guelph Alumnus - for 25 years the UniversityS number one link with alumni

Every significant event that s taken place on campus in the past 25 years (and Inanythat happened decades before) has been reported in the magazine And I daresay thousands of its pages have been clipped and pasted into the scrapshybooks of alumni who want to remember an event an achievement or an accolade

Through 25 years and almost] 00 isshysues the Guelph Alumnus has helped rekindle old memories and ignite new ones It has recorded historic events on campus - the dedication of the McLaughlin Library the first kickoff at Alumni Stadium the sod turning for the environmental biologyhorticulshytural science complex and the opening of Olympic-sized athletic facilities It s been a voice for the alumni asshysoc iations and a venue for recognizing alumni award winners

It has also maintained an ongoing correspondence among alumni Readers have been generous with stories and photographs and nostalgia wins hands down as the most popular theme no matter what the year Frosh initiation rites and student pranks are two of the most popular topics

Since a freckled red-haired orphan burst on the world in J 908 the popularity o f Ann of Creel Cables has never fl agged Where best-se lling romances of th e era ha ve los t the ir apshypeal Lucy Maud Montgomery s girl characters full of spunk and imaginashytion have captivated new generations fo r more than 80 years

As sa les of Montgomerys 22 novels continue to outd istance those of modern Canadian nove ls her own story shyrevealed in the di aries she faithfully kept for 53 yea rs - also seems destined to set unprecedented publishing records

Maud - not Lucy Maud - began writing a diary as a teenage r in 1889 and continued until her death in 1942

She left 10 ledge rs to her son Stuan a Toronto doc tor with inst ructions to use his Judgment about publishing them For almost four decades he postponed their release to protect those mentioned and still living But he did begin to ed it the diaries with University of Guel ph Engli sh professor Mary Rubi o and evenshytuall y - in 1981 - so ld hi s mother s diaries and sc rapbooks to the Un i vershysi ty After he died in 1984 Rubio enshyli sted co lleague Elizabeth Waterston to

hel p edit the journals for publication Oxfo rd Universi ty Press published the

first vo lum e of The Selected JOllmals of LM MOl1tgomerr in 1985 documenting the auth or s life from age 15 to 36 The second volume was publi shed in 1987

And just released in October the third volume covers Montgomerys life from age 47 to 55 A fourth - and perhaps fifth - volume will fo llow detai ling the final years of her life

For such a Ii chl y documented life unshyse ttling ga ps rem ain in the tex t of Montgomery s diaries She is known to bave ce nsored - once with a razor shyea rl y entries about he r husband And in the diaries of tbe 1920s she cryptically alludes to a shameful episode in her e lder sons life

Candid though she was ber Journal was often shaped by a writers instinct for a good story and a clear expectation th at her da il y jotting wo uld be preserved for posterit y

Gllelpli AUlIlIIIIS

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

Timely tooth care pays off

for pets and vets

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

As a child Hofstetter devoured books Her mother once brought home a bo x of 44 Elsie Dinsmore books about the life of a southern belle In no time she had read her way through the box A few years later she read her way through university - and fast

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

A committee junkie Hofstetter has parl ayed her interest in the arts into board memberships on arts councils and cultural centres in the Burlington area Recentl y resigning after years on Hamilton hospital boards she has been invited to join the Mi ss issauga Living Art Centre board Tuesday evenings offered some respite from a dense schedule until she decided to take a course to

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

Since a freckled red-haired orphan burst on the world in J 908 the popularity o f Ann of Creel Cables has never fl agged Where best-se lling romances of th e era ha ve los t the ir apshypeal Lucy Maud Montgomery s girl characters full of spunk and imaginashytion have captivated new generations fo r more than 80 years

As sa les of Montgomerys 22 novels continue to outd istance those of modern Canadian nove ls her own story shyrevealed in the di aries she faithfully kept for 53 yea rs - also seems destined to set unprecedented publishing records

Maud - not Lucy Maud - began writing a diary as a teenage r in 1889 and continued until her death in 1942

She left 10 ledge rs to her son Stuan a Toronto doc tor with inst ructions to use his Judgment about publishing them For almost four decades he postponed their release to protect those mentioned and still living But he did begin to ed it the diaries with University of Guel ph Engli sh professor Mary Rubi o and evenshytuall y - in 1981 - so ld hi s mother s diaries and sc rapbooks to the Un i vershysi ty After he died in 1984 Rubio enshyli sted co lleague Elizabeth Waterston to

hel p edit the journals for publication Oxfo rd Universi ty Press published the

first vo lum e of The Selected JOllmals of LM MOl1tgomerr in 1985 documenting the auth or s life from age 15 to 36 The second volume was publi shed in 1987

And just released in October the third volume covers Montgomerys life from age 47 to 55 A fourth - and perhaps fifth - volume will fo llow detai ling the final years of her life

For such a Ii chl y documented life unshyse ttling ga ps rem ain in the tex t of Montgomery s diaries She is known to bave ce nsored - once with a razor shyea rl y entries about he r husband And in the diaries of tbe 1920s she cryptically alludes to a shameful episode in her e lder sons life

Candid though she was ber Journal was often shaped by a writers instinct for a good story and a clear expectation th at her da il y jotting wo uld be preserved for posterit y

Gllelpli AUlIlIIIIS

This journal is a faithful

record of one human beings

life and so should have a

certain literary value

I desire Ihal Ihese journals

never be destroyed

I leave Ihis 10 my descendanls

or my literary heirs as a

sacred charge and imoke

a Shakespearean curse

on them iflhey disregard il

Each of Montgomerys SOO-page jourshynals is stored safely in the Universitys li brary archives Leaves of ac id-free on ion paper protect ye ll owing pages handwritten in ink and illustrated with photos taken by Mon tgomery

Her five scrapbooks are fill ed with newspaper revie ws and clippings of her ta I ks to womens grou ps and pu bl ic apshypearances They reveal an unflagging inshyteres t in her prese ntations opinions and appearance Her wedding bouquet is pressed into one sc rapbook along with play programs and other memorabilia that she wo uld nostal gically return to for inspiration for her novels

In 19R4 Stuarts widow Ruth so ld the University Montgome rys three photo albums and 1500 negatives her pe rsonal liblary trans lated and foreign editions of her own novels genealogical files manuscripts legal papers - inshyclucling her will- and photocopies of half of the 550 short stories and 500 poems she wrote durin g her lifetime

Rubio is currently researching a biogshyraph y of Montgomery anel su spec ts that the author may have deliberately made choices in her life that would make her journal more entertaining for future readers The Guelph professor has int ershyviewed Montgomerys late son Stuart members of her ex tended family and former maids and pari shioners who remembered Montgomery and her hu sband Des pite her depth of knowledge Rubi o concludes th at nobody will be able to dec ipher the comshyplete truth abo ut Montgo mery

Not onl y has Anne insp ired young girl s in North Ameri cLl Australi a and Europe but she has al so captured the hearts of orphaned post- wa r generations in Japan And her rebellious spirit hns touched deep chords in independenceshyminded Pol es in the I 980s spawning a musical that continues to rivet a historishycally oppressed peo ple

It often comes as a shoc k to pilgrims to Princc Edward Island that Anne Shirley is in fact ficti on Readers are seduced by LM Mon tgo merys inshytimate and conspiratori al tone a g ift for storytelling inherited from her postmaster grandfather and often conshysider her and her creations kindred spirits Many read and reread Montgomerys nove ls th roughout their lives just as Charl otte Bronte fan return again and again to Ja il Eyrc and Jane Austen fans indul ge in annual feasts of Pride ond Prejlldice

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

and the Canadi an Women s Press Club She attracted the attention of prominent Canadian and British statesmen and earned the admiration of literary giants like Mark Twa in

The hi ghes t offi cial recognition Montgomery rece ived was her appointshyment as an offi ce r of the Order of the British Empire She was the first Canadian woman to rece ive this honor

Her books are perennial best-sellers and probabl y Canadas mos t enduring literary ex port Espec iall y popular in Common wea lth countri es they have been translated into more than 30 lanshyguag~s and continue to se ll we ll in Japan Poland Scandin av ia and the United States In Canadltl alone sales still average about 35000 copies a year - 50 years after her death

Oxford University Press reports that the first two volumes of Thc ScIcl(d

In the introduction to the third volume Rubio and Waterston describe Montgomery as a woman of extraordishynary talent - gifted with an ability to captivate readers first with her im ag inashyti ve characters and now with the story of her own life

Timely tooth care pays off

for pets and vets

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

Hi s first case was Tange nt the Newshyfo undl and that was mi ss ing the enamel from a ca nine toot h It co uld have been caused by a high fever malnu tr it ion parasites or some other kind of stress at

In past years the trea tment of choice fo r a broken or abscessed tooth was ex shytracti on but -like the message yo u hear from your ow n dentist - there are Illany gooe reasons to save a pet s damaged tooth ra ther than pull it out says Hal e Dogs and cats use their mouth s as tools like we use our hand s and their tee th are as important to them shyas ou r fingers are to us

Thi s tra ve lling ve t says it s a sign of the times Pet owne rs expec t a high level of hea lth ca re for thei r animals and th at includes preventi ve denta l care and treatment

As a child Hofstetter devoured books Her mother once brought home a bo x of 44 Elsie Dinsmore books about the life of a southern belle In no time she had read her way through the box A few years later she read her way through university - and fast

After graduating from Eastwood Collegiate in Ki tchener Hofstetter enrolled at then Waterloo Lutheran Universi ty Favorable reports From friends at Wellington College conshyvinced her to transfer to the new Universi ty of Guelph in her second year The semester system suited the English major s speed She took three semesters a year instead of two and earned her honors BA in three year~ It was 1968 Then she completed an MA at the University of Western Ontario in 10 months

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

and studied theatre arts at th e Banff School of Fine Arts

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

A committee junkie Hofstetter has parl ayed her interest in the arts into board memberships on arts councils and cultural centres in the Burlington area Recentl y resigning after years on Hamilton hospital boards she has been invited to join the Mi ss issauga Living Art Centre board Tuesday evenings offered some respite from a dense schedule until she decided to take a course to

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Since a freckled red-haired orphan burst on the world in J 908 the popularity o f Ann of Creel Cables has never fl agged Where best-se lling romances of th e era ha ve los t the ir apshypeal Lucy Maud Montgomery s girl characters full of spunk and imaginashytion have captivated new generations fo r more than 80 years

As sa les of Montgomerys 22 novels continue to outd istance those of modern Canadian nove ls her own story shyrevealed in the di aries she faithfully kept for 53 yea rs - also seems destined to set unprecedented publishing records

Maud - not Lucy Maud - began writing a diary as a teenage r in 1889 and continued until her death in 1942

She left 10 ledge rs to her son Stuan a Toronto doc tor with inst ructions to use his Judgment about publishing them For almost four decades he postponed their release to protect those mentioned and still living But he did begin to ed it the diaries with University of Guel ph Engli sh professor Mary Rubi o and evenshytuall y - in 1981 - so ld hi s mother s diaries and sc rapbooks to the Un i vershysi ty After he died in 1984 Rubio enshyli sted co lleague Elizabeth Waterston to

hel p edit the journals for publication Oxfo rd Universi ty Press published the

first vo lum e of The Selected JOllmals of LM MOl1tgomerr in 1985 documenting the auth or s life from age 15 to 36 The second volume was publi shed in 1987

And just released in October the third volume covers Montgomerys life from age 47 to 55 A fourth - and perhaps fifth - volume will fo llow detai ling the final years of her life

For such a Ii chl y documented life unshyse ttling ga ps rem ain in the tex t of Montgomery s diaries She is known to bave ce nsored - once with a razor shyea rl y entries about he r husband And in the diaries of tbe 1920s she cryptically alludes to a shameful episode in her e lder sons life

Candid though she was ber Journal was often shaped by a writers instinct for a good story and a clear expectation th at her da il y jotting wo uld be preserved for posterit y

Rubio is currently researching a biogshyraph y of Montgomery anel su spec ts that the author may have deliberately made choices in her life that would make her journal more entertaining for future readers The Guelph professor has int ershyviewed Montgomerys late son Stuart members of her ex tended family and former maids and pari shioners who remembered Montgomery and her hu sband Des pite her depth of knowledge Rubi o concludes th at nobody will be able to dec ipher the comshyplete truth abo ut Montgo mery

Not onl y has Anne insp ired young girl s in North Ameri cLl Australi a and Europe but she has al so captured the hearts of orphaned post- wa r generations in Japan And her rebellious spirit hns touched deep chords in independenceshyminded Pol es in the I 980s spawning a musical that continues to rivet a historishycally oppressed peo ple

It often comes as a shoc k to pilgrims to Princc Edward Island that Anne Shirley is in fact ficti on Readers are seduced by LM Mon tgo merys inshytimate and conspiratori al tone a g ift for storytelling inherited from her postmaster grandfather and often conshysider her and her creations kindred spirits Many read and reread Montgomerys nove ls th roughout their lives just as Charl otte Bronte fan return again and again to Ja il Eyrc and Jane Austen fans indul ge in annual feasts of Pride ond Prejlldice

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

and the Canadi an Women s Press Club She attracted the attention of prominent Canadian and British statesmen and earned the admiration of literary giants like Mark Twa in

The hi ghes t offi cial recognition Montgomery rece ived was her appointshyment as an offi ce r of the Order of the British Empire She was the first Canadian woman to rece ive this honor

Her books are perennial best-sellers and probabl y Canadas mos t enduring literary ex port Espec iall y popular in Common wea lth countri es they have been translated into more than 30 lanshyguag~s and continue to se ll we ll in Japan Poland Scandin av ia and the United States In Canadltl alone sales still average about 35000 copies a year - 50 years after her death

Oxford University Press reports that the first two volumes of Thc ScIcl(d

Timely tooth care pays off

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

Hi s first case was Tange nt the Newshyfo undl and that was mi ss ing the enamel from a ca nine toot h It co uld have been caused by a high fever malnu tr it ion parasites or some other kind of stress at

In past years the trea tment of choice fo r a broken or abscessed tooth was ex shytracti on but -like the message yo u hear from your ow n dentist - there are Illany gooe reasons to save a pet s damaged tooth ra ther than pull it out says Hal e Dogs and cats use their mouth s as tools like we use our hand s and their tee th are as important to them shyas ou r fingers are to us

Thi s tra ve lling ve t says it s a sign of the times Pet owne rs expec t a high level of hea lth ca re for thei r animals and th at includes preventi ve denta l care and treatment

As a child Hofstetter devoured books Her mother once brought home a bo x of 44 Elsie Dinsmore books about the life of a southern belle In no time she had read her way through the box A few years later she read her way through university - and fast

After graduating from Eastwood Collegiate in Ki tchener Hofstetter enrolled at then Waterloo Lutheran Universi ty Favorable reports From friends at Wellington College conshyvinced her to transfer to the new Universi ty of Guelph in her second year The semester system suited the English major s speed She took three semesters a year instead of two and earned her honors BA in three year~ It was 1968 Then she completed an MA at the University of Western Ontario in 10 months

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

and studied theatre arts at th e Banff School of Fine Arts

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

A committee junkie Hofstetter has parl ayed her interest in the arts into board memberships on arts councils and cultural centres in the Burlington area Recentl y resigning after years on Hamilton hospital boards she has been invited to join the Mi ss issauga Living Art Centre board Tuesday evenings offered some respite from a dense schedule until she decided to take a course to

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Since a freckled red-haired orphan burst on the world in J 908 the popularity o f Ann of Creel Cables has never fl agged Where best-se lling romances of th e era ha ve los t the ir apshypeal Lucy Maud Montgomery s girl characters full of spunk and imaginashytion have captivated new generations fo r more than 80 years

As sa les of Montgomerys 22 novels continue to outd istance those of modern Canadian nove ls her own story shyrevealed in the di aries she faithfully kept for 53 yea rs - also seems destined to set unprecedented publishing records

Maud - not Lucy Maud - began writing a diary as a teenage r in 1889 and continued until her death in 1942

She left 10 ledge rs to her son Stuan a Toronto doc tor with inst ructions to use his Judgment about publishing them For almost four decades he postponed their release to protect those mentioned and still living But he did begin to ed it the diaries with University of Guel ph Engli sh professor Mary Rubi o and evenshytuall y - in 1981 - so ld hi s mother s diaries and sc rapbooks to the Un i vershysi ty After he died in 1984 Rubio enshyli sted co lleague Elizabeth Waterston to

hel p edit the journals for publication Oxfo rd Universi ty Press published the

first vo lum e of The Selected JOllmals of LM MOl1tgomerr in 1985 documenting the auth or s life from age 15 to 36 The second volume was publi shed in 1987

And just released in October the third volume covers Montgomerys life from age 47 to 55 A fourth - and perhaps fifth - volume will fo llow detai ling the final years of her life

For such a Ii chl y documented life unshyse ttling ga ps rem ain in the tex t of Montgomery s diaries She is known to bave ce nsored - once with a razor shyea rl y entries about he r husband And in the diaries of tbe 1920s she cryptically alludes to a shameful episode in her e lder sons life

Candid though she was ber Journal was often shaped by a writers instinct for a good story and a clear expectation th at her da il y jotting wo uld be preserved for posterit y

Rubio is currently researching a biogshyraph y of Montgomery anel su spec ts that the author may have deliberately made choices in her life that would make her journal more entertaining for future readers The Guelph professor has int ershyviewed Montgomerys late son Stuart members of her ex tended family and former maids and pari shioners who remembered Montgomery and her hu sband Des pite her depth of knowledge Rubi o concludes th at nobody will be able to dec ipher the comshyplete truth abo ut Montgo mery

Not onl y has Anne insp ired young girl s in North Ameri cLl Australi a and Europe but she has al so captured the hearts of orphaned post- wa r generations in Japan And her rebellious spirit hns touched deep chords in independenceshyminded Pol es in the I 980s spawning a musical that continues to rivet a historishycally oppressed peo ple

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

and the Canadi an Women s Press Club She attracted the attention of prominent Canadian and British statesmen and earned the admiration of literary giants like Mark Twa in

The hi ghes t offi cial recognition Montgomery rece ived was her appointshyment as an offi ce r of the Order of the British Empire She was the first Canadian woman to rece ive this honor

Her books are perennial best-sellers and probabl y Canadas mos t enduring literary ex port Espec iall y popular in Common wea lth countri es they have been translated into more than 30 lanshyguag~s and continue to se ll we ll in Japan Poland Scandin av ia and the United States In Canadltl alone sales still average about 35000 copies a year - 50 years after her death

Timely tooth care pays off

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

Hi s first case was Tange nt the Newshyfo undl and that was mi ss ing the enamel from a ca nine toot h It co uld have been caused by a high fever malnu tr it ion parasites or some other kind of stress at

In past years the trea tment of choice fo r a broken or abscessed tooth was ex shytracti on but -like the message yo u hear from your ow n dentist - there are Illany gooe reasons to save a pet s damaged tooth ra ther than pull it out says Hal e Dogs and cats use their mouth s as tools like we use our hand s and their tee th are as important to them shyas ou r fingers are to us

Mary HoFsteners parents never told her there was anyshything she cou Idn t do As an only child

growing up on a quiet street in Kitchener Ont she took the you-c an -do-an yth ing -you -se t -you r -mindshyto message as licence to leap at every opponunity that came her way Today she is pre sident of Sheridan College

My parents were exceptional says Hofstetter of her recentl y deceased mother and father I could never downplay the sigshynificance of their support and enshycouragement she says

One of only two female college presidents in Ontario Hofstetter 45 has made a career of carving out new roles for herse lf Standing in mortarboard and gown before hundreds of graduating Sheridan College students each spring she ofshyfers these words of advice Learn to spot an opportunity be willing to take a ri sk for the experience dont

As a child Hofstetter devoured books Her mother once brought home a bo x of 44 Elsie Dinsmore books about the life of a southern belle In no time she had read her way through the box A few years later she read her way through university - and fast

After graduating from Eastwood Collegiate in Ki tchener Hofstetter enrolled at then Waterloo Lutheran Universi ty Favorable reports From friends at Wellington College conshyvinced her to transfer to the new Universi ty of Guelph in her second year The semester system suited the English major s speed She took three semesters a year instead of two and earned her honors BA in three year~ It was 1968 Then she completed an MA at the University of Western Ontario in 10 months

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

and studied theatre arts at th e Banff School of Fine Arts

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

A committee junkie Hofstetter has parl ayed her interest in the arts into board memberships on arts councils and cultural centres in the Burlington area Recentl y resigning after years on Hamilton hospital boards she has been invited to join the Mi ss issauga Living Art Centre board Tuesday evenings offered some respite from a dense schedule until she decided to take a course to

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Page 14: Guelph Alumnus Magazine, Winter 1993

b Martha Talcock

Since a freckled red-haired orphan burst on the world in J 908 the popularity o f Ann of Creel Cables has never fl agged Where best-se lling romances of th e era ha ve los t the ir apshypeal Lucy Maud Montgomery s girl characters full of spunk and imaginashytion have captivated new generations fo r more than 80 years

As sa les of Montgomerys 22 novels continue to outd istance those of modern Canadian nove ls her own story shyrevealed in the di aries she faithfully kept for 53 yea rs - also seems destined to set unprecedented publishing records

Maud - not Lucy Maud - began writing a diary as a teenage r in 1889 and continued until her death in 1942

She left 10 ledge rs to her son Stuan a Toronto doc tor with inst ructions to use his Judgment about publishing them For almost four decades he postponed their release to protect those mentioned and still living But he did begin to ed it the diaries with University of Guel ph Engli sh professor Mary Rubi o and evenshytuall y - in 1981 - so ld hi s mother s diaries and sc rapbooks to the Un i vershysi ty After he died in 1984 Rubio enshyli sted co lleague Elizabeth Waterston to

hel p edit the journals for publication Oxfo rd Universi ty Press published the

first vo lum e of The Selected JOllmals of LM MOl1tgomerr in 1985 documenting the auth or s life from age 15 to 36 The second volume was publi shed in 1987

And just released in October the third volume covers Montgomerys life from age 47 to 55 A fourth - and perhaps fifth - volume will fo llow detai ling the final years of her life

For such a Ii chl y documented life unshyse ttling ga ps rem ain in the tex t of Montgomery s diaries She is known to bave ce nsored - once with a razor shyea rl y entries about he r husband And in the diaries of tbe 1920s she cryptically alludes to a shameful episode in her e lder sons life

Candid though she was ber Journal was often shaped by a writers instinct for a good story and a clear expectation th at her da il y jotting wo uld be preserved for posterit y

Gllelpli AUlIlIIIIS

This journal is a faithful

record of one human beings

life and so should have a

certain literary value

I desire Ihal Ihese journals

never be destroyed

I leave Ihis 10 my descendanls

or my literary heirs as a

sacred charge and imoke

Not onl y has Anne insp ired young girl s in North Ameri cLl Australi a and Europe but she has al so captured the hearts of orphaned post- wa r generations in Japan And her rebellious spirit hns touched deep chords in independenceshyminded Pol es in the I 980s spawning a musical that continues to rivet a historishycally oppressed peo ple

It often comes as a shoc k to pilgrims to Princc Edward Island that Anne Shirley is in fact ficti on Readers are seduced by LM Mon tgo merys inshytimate and conspiratori al tone a g ift for storytelling inherited from her postmaster grandfather and often conshysider her and her creations kindred spirits Many read and reread Montgomerys nove ls th roughout their lives just as Charl otte Bronte fan return again and again to Ja il Eyrc and Jane Austen fans indul ge in annual feasts of Pride ond Prejlldice

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

and the Canadi an Women s Press Club She attracted the attention of prominent Canadian and British statesmen and earned the admiration of literary giants like Mark Twa in

The hi ghes t offi cial recognition Montgomery rece ived was her appointshyment as an offi ce r of the Order of the British Empire She was the first Canadian woman to rece ive this honor

Her books are perennial best-sellers and probabl y Canadas mos t enduring literary ex port Espec iall y popular in Common wea lth countri es they have been translated into more than 30 lanshyguag~s and continue to se ll we ll in Japan Poland Scandin av ia and the United States In Canadltl alone sales still average about 35000 copies a year - 50 years after her death

Timely tooth care pays off

for pets and vets

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

Hi s first case was Tange nt the Newshyfo undl and that was mi ss ing the enamel from a ca nine toot h It co uld have been caused by a high fever malnu tr it ion parasites or some other kind of stress at

In past years the trea tment of choice fo r a broken or abscessed tooth was ex shytracti on but -like the message yo u hear from your ow n dentist - there are Illany gooe reasons to save a pet s damaged tooth ra ther than pull it out says Hal e Dogs and cats use their mouth s as tools like we use our hand s and their tee th are as important to them shyas ou r fingers are to us

Thi s tra ve lling ve t says it s a sign of the times Pet owne rs expec t a high level of hea lth ca re for thei r animals and th at includes preventi ve denta l care and treatment

HOFSTETTER The word cant isnt in her vocabulary

Mary HoFsteners parents never told her there was anyshything she cou Idn t do As an only child

growing up on a quiet street in Kitchener Ont she took the you-c an -do-an yth ing -you -se t -you r -mindshyto message as licence to leap at every opponunity that came her way Today she is pre sident of Sheridan College

My parents were exceptional says Hofstetter of her recentl y deceased mother and father I could never downplay the sigshynificance of their support and enshycouragement she says

One of only two female college presidents in Ontario Hofstetter 45 has made a career of carving out new roles for herse lf Standing in mortarboard and gown before hundreds of graduating Sheridan College students each spring she ofshyfers these words of advice Learn to spot an opportunity be willing to take a ri sk for the experience dont

As a child Hofstetter devoured books Her mother once brought home a bo x of 44 Elsie Dinsmore books about the life of a southern belle In no time she had read her way through the box A few years later she read her way through university - and fast

After graduating from Eastwood Collegiate in Ki tchener Hofstetter enrolled at then Waterloo Lutheran Universi ty Favorable reports From friends at Wellington College conshyvinced her to transfer to the new Universi ty of Guelph in her second year The semester system suited the English major s speed She took three semesters a year instead of two and earned her honors BA in three year~ It was 1968 Then she completed an MA at the University of Western Ontario in 10 months

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

and studied theatre arts at th e Banff School of Fine Arts

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

A committee junkie Hofstetter has parl ayed her interest in the arts into board memberships on arts councils and cultural centres in the Burlington area Recentl y resigning after years on Hamilton hospital boards she has been invited to join the Mi ss issauga Living Art Centre board Tuesday evenings offered some respite from a dense schedule until she decided to take a course to

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Rubio is currently researching a biogshyraph y of Montgomery anel su spec ts that the author may have deliberately made choices in her life that would make her journal more entertaining for future readers The Guelph professor has int ershyviewed Montgomerys late son Stuart members of her ex tended family and former maids and pari shioners who remembered Montgomery and her hu sband Des pite her depth of knowledge Rubi o concludes th at nobody will be able to dec ipher the comshyplete truth abo ut Montgo mery

Not onl y has Anne insp ired young girl s in North Ameri cLl Australi a and Europe but she has al so captured the hearts of orphaned post- wa r generations in Japan And her rebellious spirit hns touched deep chords in independenceshyminded Pol es in the I 980s spawning a musical that continues to rivet a historishycally oppressed peo ple

It often comes as a shoc k to pilgrims to Princc Edward Island that Anne Shirley is in fact ficti on Readers are seduced by LM Mon tgo merys inshytimate and conspiratori al tone a g ift for storytelling inherited from her postmaster grandfather and often conshysider her and her creations kindred spirits Many read and reread Montgomerys nove ls th roughout their lives just as Charl otte Bronte fan return again and again to Ja il Eyrc and Jane Austen fans indul ge in annual feasts of Pride ond Prejlldice

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

and the Canadi an Women s Press Club She attracted the attention of prominent Canadian and British statesmen and earned the admiration of literary giants like Mark Twa in

The hi ghes t offi cial recognition Montgomery rece ived was her appointshyment as an offi ce r of the Order of the British Empire She was the first Canadian woman to rece ive this honor

Her books are perennial best-sellers and probabl y Canadas mos t enduring literary ex port Espec iall y popular in Common wea lth countri es they have been translated into more than 30 lanshyguag~s and continue to se ll we ll in Japan Poland Scandin av ia and the United States In Canadltl alone sales still average about 35000 copies a year - 50 years after her death

Oxford University Press reports that the first two volumes of Thc ScIcl(d

Timely tooth care pays off

for pets and vets

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

Hi s first case was Tange nt the Newshyfo undl and that was mi ss ing the enamel from a ca nine toot h It co uld have been caused by a high fever malnu tr it ion parasites or some other kind of stress at

In past years the trea tment of choice fo r a broken or abscessed tooth was ex shytracti on but -like the message yo u hear from your ow n dentist - there are Illany gooe reasons to save a pet s damaged tooth ra ther than pull it out says Hal e Dogs and cats use their mouth s as tools like we use our hand s and their tee th are as important to them shyas ou r fingers are to us

Thi s tra ve lling ve t says it s a sign of the times Pet owne rs expec t a high level of hea lth ca re for thei r animals and th at includes preventi ve denta l care and treatment

growing up on a quiet street in Kitchener Ont she took the you-c an -do-an yth ing -you -se t -you r -mindshyto message as licence to leap at every opponunity that came her way Today she is pre sident of Sheridan College

As a child Hofstetter devoured books Her mother once brought home a bo x of 44 Elsie Dinsmore books about the life of a southern belle In no time she had read her way through the box A few years later she read her way through university - and fast

After graduating from Eastwood Collegiate in Ki tchener Hofstetter enrolled at then Waterloo Lutheran Universi ty Favorable reports From friends at Wellington College conshyvinced her to transfer to the new Universi ty of Guelph in her second year The semester system suited the English major s speed She took three semesters a year instead of two and earned her honors BA in three year~ It was 1968 Then she completed an MA at the University of Western Ontario in 10 months

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

and studied theatre arts at th e Banff School of Fine Arts

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

A committee junkie Hofstetter has parl ayed her interest in the arts into board memberships on arts councils and cultural centres in the Burlington area Recentl y resigning after years on Hamilton hospital boards she has been invited to join the Mi ss issauga Living Art Centre board Tuesday evenings offered some respite from a dense schedule until she decided to take a course to

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Timely tooth care pays off

for pets and vets

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Up early to li ght the kitchen fire Montgomery often didn t craw l back into bed until afte r midnight Sleepl essshyness plagued her a she dreaded a re pea t att ack of her hu sbands re li gious melancholi a and fretted over two la wshysuits - one wi th her publisher who had printed one of her books without her pershymi ss ion and another wi th a Leaskdal e man suing them for dam ages in a car acshycident tha t was hi s fault

She a l 0 worried about th e fa mil ys future in the even t of church union and was beset by requeh fo r money from needy PE1 relatives

in it is like talking

She retrented to her diary to li ck wounds and vent bottled-up fee lings And in a life tumbling with responshysibilities the diaries offe led her a chance to recover and preserve her se lf

Rubio is currently researching a biogshyraph y of Montgomery anel su spec ts that the author may have deliberately made choices in her life that would make her journal more entertaining for future readers The Guelph professor has int ershyviewed Montgomerys late son Stuart members of her ex tended family and former maids and pari shioners who remembered Montgomery and her hu sband Des pite her depth of knowledge Rubi o concludes th at nobody will be able to dec ipher the comshyplete truth abo ut Montgo mery

Not onl y has Anne insp ired young girl s in North Ameri cLl Australi a and Europe but she has al so captured the hearts of orphaned post- wa r generations in Japan And her rebellious spirit hns touched deep chords in independenceshyminded Pol es in the I 980s spawning a musical that continues to rivet a historishycally oppressed peo ple

It often comes as a shoc k to pilgrims to Princc Edward Island that Anne Shirley is in fact ficti on Readers are seduced by LM Mon tgo merys inshytimate and conspiratori al tone a g ift for storytelling inherited from her postmaster grandfather and often conshysider her and her creations kindred spirits Many read and reread Montgomerys nove ls th roughout their lives just as Charl otte Bronte fan return again and again to Ja il Eyrc and Jane Austen fans indul ge in annual feasts of Pride ond Prejlldice

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

and the Canadi an Women s Press Club She attracted the attention of prominent Canadian and British statesmen and earned the admiration of literary giants like Mark Twa in

The hi ghes t offi cial recognition Montgomery rece ived was her appointshyment as an offi ce r of the Order of the British Empire She was the first Canadian woman to rece ive this honor

Her books are perennial best-sellers and probabl y Canadas mos t enduring literary ex port Espec iall y popular in Common wea lth countri es they have been translated into more than 30 lanshyguag~s and continue to se ll we ll in Japan Poland Scandin av ia and the United States In Canadltl alone sales still average about 35000 copies a year - 50 years after her death

Oxford University Press reports that the first two volumes of Thc ScIcl(d

JOllllluis ofLM MOlilgomery - pub-I ished in [985 and 1987 - have sold a towl of 25 000 co pies unusual for a nonshyfiction wo rk The third vo lume was released in October And editors Mary Rubio and EliLabeth Waterston will produce at least one more vo lume to complete the se ries Ru bio will al so add n future biograph y of the author to the growing Montgomery lex icon

In the introduction to the third volume Rubio and Waterston describe Montgomery as a woman of extraordishynary talent - gifted with an ability to captivate readers first with her im ag inashyti ve characters and now with the story of her own life

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

She retrented to her diary to li ck wounds and vent bottled-up fee lings And in a life tumbling with responshysibilities the diaries offe led her a chance to recover and preserve her se lf

Rubio is currently researching a biogshyraph y of Montgomery anel su spec ts that the author may have deliberately made choices in her life that would make her journal more entertaining for future readers The Guelph professor has int ershyviewed Montgomerys late son Stuart members of her ex tended family and former maids and pari shioners who remembered Montgomery and her hu sband Des pite her depth of knowledge Rubi o concludes th at nobody will be able to dec ipher the comshyplete truth abo ut Montgo mery

Not onl y has Anne insp ired young girl s in North Ameri cLl Australi a and Europe but she has al so captured the hearts of orphaned post- wa r generations in Japan And her rebellious spirit hns touched deep chords in independenceshyminded Pol es in the I 980s spawning a musical that continues to rivet a historishycally oppressed peo ple

It often comes as a shoc k to pilgrims to Princc Edward Island that Anne Shirley is in fact ficti on Readers are seduced by LM Mon tgo merys inshytimate and conspiratori al tone a g ift for storytelling inherited from her postmaster grandfather and often conshysider her and her creations kindred spirits Many read and reread Montgomerys nove ls th roughout their lives just as Charl otte Bronte fan return again and again to Ja il Eyrc and Jane Austen fans indul ge in annual feasts of Pride ond Prejlldice

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

and the Canadi an Women s Press Club She attracted the attention of prominent Canadian and British statesmen and earned the admiration of literary giants like Mark Twa in

The hi ghes t offi cial recognition Montgomery rece ived was her appointshyment as an offi ce r of the Order of the British Empire She was the first Canadian woman to rece ive this honor

Her books are perennial best-sellers and probabl y Canadas mos t enduring literary ex port Espec iall y popular in Common wea lth countri es they have been translated into more than 30 lanshyguag~s and continue to se ll we ll in Japan Poland Scandin av ia and the United States In Canadltl alone sales still average about 35000 copies a year - 50 years after her death

Timely tooth care pays off

for pets and vets

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

Hi s first case was Tange nt the Newshyfo undl and that was mi ss ing the enamel from a ca nine toot h It co uld have been caused by a high fever malnu tr it ion parasites or some other kind of stress at

In past years the trea tment of choice fo r a broken or abscessed tooth was ex shytracti on but -like the message yo u hear from your ow n dentist - there are Illany gooe reasons to save a pet s damaged tooth ra ther than pull it out says Hal e Dogs and cats use their mouth s as tools like we use our hand s and their tee th are as important to them shyas ou r fingers are to us

As a child Hofstetter devoured books Her mother once brought home a bo x of 44 Elsie Dinsmore books about the life of a southern belle In no time she had read her way through the box A few years later she read her way through university - and fast

After graduating from Eastwood Collegiate in Ki tchener Hofstetter enrolled at then Waterloo Lutheran Universi ty Favorable reports From friends at Wellington College conshyvinced her to transfer to the new Universi ty of Guelph in her second year The semester system suited the English major s speed She took three semesters a year instead of two and earned her honors BA in three year~ It was 1968 Then she completed an MA at the University of Western Ontario in 10 months

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

and studied theatre arts at th e Banff School of Fine Arts

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

A committee junkie Hofstetter has parl ayed her interest in the arts into board memberships on arts councils and cultural centres in the Burlington area Recentl y resigning after years on Hamilton hospital boards she has been invited to join the Mi ss issauga Living Art Centre board Tuesday evenings offered some respite from a dense schedule until she decided to take a course to

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Despite thi s caveat to readers an oft en lonely Montgomery did pOllr her clark unhappy soul on to the lineel pages

This journal seems like

an lIl1derSlandil1g(riend

and to confess my vOies

in it is like talking

them OI1 with

such (f friend

She retrented to her diary to li ck wounds and vent bottled-up fee lings And in a life tumbling with responshysibilities the diaries offe led her a chance to recover and preserve her se lf

Rubio is currently researching a biogshyraph y of Montgomery anel su spec ts that the author may have deliberately made choices in her life that would make her journal more entertaining for future readers The Guelph professor has int ershyviewed Montgomerys late son Stuart members of her ex tended family and former maids and pari shioners who remembered Montgomery and her hu sband Des pite her depth of knowledge Rubi o concludes th at nobody will be able to dec ipher the comshyplete truth abo ut Montgo mery

Not onl y has Anne insp ired young girl s in North Ameri cLl Australi a and Europe but she has al so captured the hearts of orphaned post- wa r generations in Japan And her rebellious spirit hns touched deep chords in independenceshyminded Pol es in the I 980s spawning a musical that continues to rivet a historishycally oppressed peo ple

It often comes as a shoc k to pilgrims to Princc Edward Island that Anne Shirley is in fact ficti on Readers are seduced by LM Mon tgo merys inshytimate and conspiratori al tone a g ift for storytelling inherited from her postmaster grandfather and often conshysider her and her creations kindred spirits Many read and reread Montgomerys nove ls th roughout their lives just as Charl otte Bronte fan return again and again to Ja il Eyrc and Jane Austen fans indul ge in annual feasts of Pride ond Prejlldice

No wonder then th at Montgomerys diaries sell like hotcakes as soon as they hit the bookstand s Fans and academics - especially the new breed of feminist sc holltlrs - from around the wo rld are keen to embrace the writer and the womltln who has given them hours of sec ret deli ght and hope and validation

Although academics more interes ted In serious literature used to dism iss Montgomerys works as unworthy of study readers worshipped her and government leaders paid her homage In great demand as a speaker she travell ed frequently to address gatherings of girl s anci women She was an acti ve member of the Canadian Authors Assoc iati on

and the Canadi an Women s Press Club She attracted the attention of prominent Canadian and British statesmen and earned the admiration of literary giants like Mark Twa in

The hi ghes t offi cial recognition Montgomery rece ived was her appointshyment as an offi ce r of the Order of the British Empire She was the first Canadian woman to rece ive this honor

Her books are perennial best-sellers and probabl y Canadas mos t enduring literary ex port Espec iall y popular in Common wea lth countri es they have been translated into more than 30 lanshyguag~s and continue to se ll we ll in Japan Poland Scandin av ia and the United States In Canadltl alone sales still average about 35000 copies a year - 50 years after her death

Oxford University Press reports that the first two volumes of Thc ScIcl(d

JOllllluis ofLM MOlilgomery - pub-I ished in [985 and 1987 - have sold a towl of 25 000 co pies unusual for a nonshyfiction wo rk The third vo lume was released in October And editors Mary Rubio and EliLabeth Waterston will produce at least one more vo lume to complete the se ries Ru bio will al so add n future biograph y of the author to the growing Montgomery lex icon

In the introduction to the third volume Rubio and Waterston describe Montgomery as a woman of extraordishynary talent - gifted with an ability to captivate readers first with her im ag inashyti ve characters and now with the story of her own life

Timely tooth care pays off

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

As a child Hofstetter devoured books Her mother once brought home a bo x of 44 Elsie Dinsmore books about the life of a southern belle In no time she had read her way through the box A few years later she read her way through university - and fast

After graduating from Eastwood Collegiate in Ki tchener Hofstetter enrolled at then Waterloo Lutheran Universi ty Favorable reports From friends at Wellington College conshyvinced her to transfer to the new Universi ty of Guelph in her second year The semester system suited the English major s speed She took three semesters a year instead of two and earned her honors BA in three year~ It was 1968 Then she completed an MA at the University of Western Ontario in 10 months

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

and studied theatre arts at th e Banff School of Fine Arts

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

A committee junkie Hofstetter has parl ayed her interest in the arts into board memberships on arts councils and cultural centres in the Burlington area Recentl y resigning after years on Hamilton hospital boards she has been invited to join the Mi ss issauga Living Art Centre board Tuesday evenings offered some respite from a dense schedule until she decided to take a course to

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Timely tooth care pays off

for pets and vets

With hi s cnr packed full of equipment nnd supplies Fraser Sandy Hale sometimes travels more than 100 kilometres to see his patients - a Siamese cat suffering from neck lesions n Malinoi s show dog with a broken cnnine a lethargic young New shyfoundland with chronic pain caused by enamel hypoplasia

Di agnosed by their regular veterinarians these ailing pets were referred to Hale for periodontal surgery root canal and composite restoration

If you think Hale sounds more like a dentist than a vet youre right and wrong In fact hes a one-man mobile veterinary dental service With an On shytario road map in one hand and a periodontal probe in the othe r hes

building a new ca ree r for himse lf in small animal dentistry -the fastestshygrowing area of veterinary medicine

More and more small animal pracshytitioners are offering basic dental sershyvices to their c lients - who are demanding it for their pets - but Hales referral practice is still an anomaly And he says it s the niche hes been looking for in ve terinary med icine

After grad uating from ove in 19R4 Hale wo rked for five yea rs in a small animal practi ce in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and a yea r and a ha If ina mixed practice in Fergus near Guelph He helped estab li sh a dentistry comshyponent In both those clinics so he knew there was a growing interest 10 dental care for small animals but it wns actual-

Iy a clash between career and home life that eventuall y led to the idea of openshying a re ferral practice

Hale and his wife Monica Forget FAeS R2 had mov ed to Fergus in 1989 to escape the smog and traffic of the city He admits he had romantic and uIHealistic ideas about life as a smallshytown vet In fact he never found the tim e hed expected to have with his yo ung so n So IS month s late r he was look ing for another escape - from the long hours and ph ys ica l demands of general practice

After much soul-searching Hal e and Forget decided to let their family life take precedence over their caree rs They opted for two part-time Jobs so they cou ld both have more time with fourshy

year-old Willi e and 10shymonth-old Mamie Hale is no w on the road three days a week and Forget teaches part time shar ing a Grade 2 class at Victoria Terrace Public School in Fergus

This new lifes tyle plan demanded a change from traditi ond l ve terinary pracshytice so Hale turned to ove for insp iration He says he was in the right place at the right time III hi s life when he heard abou t a new ove continuing education proshy

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

Although most vets recogn ize the pote ntial problems associa ted with periodontal di seuse few are ac tu ull y trained in advanced treatment methods Hale prefaced hi s OVC ce rtifi cate cou rse with training programs offered by the American Animal Hospital Asshysocia tion

To estab li sh hi s referral business Hale launched an educa ti on program of hi s own - a news letter fo r veb to show them how to IIlco rporate denti stry into their practices to provide tips to imshyprove the denta l treatment they already offe r and to ex plain new se rvices and techniques

As a child Hofstetter devoured books Her mother once brought home a bo x of 44 Elsie Dinsmore books about the life of a southern belle In no time she had read her way through the box A few years later she read her way through university - and fast

After graduating from Eastwood Collegiate in Ki tchener Hofstetter enrolled at then Waterloo Lutheran Universi ty Favorable reports From friends at Wellington College conshyvinced her to transfer to the new Universi ty of Guelph in her second year The semester system suited the English major s speed She took three semesters a year instead of two and earned her honors BA in three year~ It was 1968 Then she completed an MA at the University of Western Ontario in 10 months

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

and studied theatre arts at th e Banff School of Fine Arts

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

A committee junkie Hofstetter has parl ayed her interest in the arts into board memberships on arts councils and cultural centres in the Burlington area Recentl y resigning after years on Hamilton hospital boards she has been invited to join the Mi ss issauga Living Art Centre board Tuesday evenings offered some respite from a dense schedule until she decided to take a course to

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Like humans animal s can become the victims of many ailments that stem from infect ions in the mouth The bloodshystream can pick up bacteri a from an i nshyfected tooth and carry them along through the body much as a flow ing river carries silt

When the blood flow is slowed down - in the va lve leaves of the hea rt mu scle or in the kidneys - the bac teri a settle out like silt at the mouth of the ri ve r A localized infect ion on a hea rt va lve can leave scar tissue causing it to leak The eventual resu lt may be congesshytive hea rt fail ure

As a child Hofstetter devoured books Her mother once brought home a bo x of 44 Elsie Dinsmore books about the life of a southern belle In no time she had read her way through the box A few years later she read her way through university - and fast

After graduating from Eastwood Collegiate in Ki tchener Hofstetter enrolled at then Waterloo Lutheran Universi ty Favorable reports From friends at Wellington College conshyvinced her to transfer to the new Universi ty of Guelph in her second year The semester system suited the English major s speed She took three semesters a year instead of two and earned her honors BA in three year~ It was 1968 Then she completed an MA at the University of Western Ontario in 10 months

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

and studied theatre arts at th e Banff School of Fine Arts

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

A committee junkie Hofstetter has parl ayed her interest in the arts into board memberships on arts councils and cultural centres in the Burlington area Recentl y resigning after years on Hamilton hospital boards she has been invited to join the Mi ss issauga Living Art Centre board Tuesday evenings offered some respite from a dense schedule until she decided to take a course to

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Hofstetter s nose was not always in a book At Guelph she acted in and helped design student producshytions During holidays she painted

and studied theatre arts at th e Banff School of Fine Arts

After finding her painterly blue and orange nudes wedged behind an oil burner by her mother Hofstetter re sisted thi s mute judgment of her work by entering a piece in a Colshylege Royal al1 competition She won and began giving her valuable paintings away for wedding presents Now she uses her discernshying eye - and that of her husband David Rigg - to collect rather than create art Her office is filled with the work of Sheridan students laying the foundation for a future permanent college collection

A committee junkie Hofstetter has parl ayed her interest in the arts into board memberships on arts councils and cultural centres in the Burlington area Recentl y resigning after years on Hamilton hospital boards she has been invited to join the Mi ss issauga Living Art Centre board Tuesday evenings offered some respite from a dense schedule until she decided to take a course to

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi

Digging into the past Weekend archeologists uncover clues

to Guelphs ancient history

Even Columbo hltld footprints or the lingering smell of perfume to help him solve a mystery but for an archshyeologist there is only a dark SLain in the dirt and a few chips of stone Nevertheless these meagre clues are often enough to piece together a fa sshycinating hi story of the peopl e who once claimed this land as theirs

Last summer Guelph residents had a chance to see an archeological dig right here in the city on the doorstep of the University campus which found evidence that this area was inhabited 8400 years before city founder John Galt set eyes on it in 1827

The dig was located on the south bank of the Eramosa River on land owned by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at the foot of the new Ontario Turfgrass Institute It was excavated by members of the Grand RiverWaterloo chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and stushydents hired through a federal grant program

Guelph high sc hool teacher Ken Old ridge organized the project John MacDonald a professional archshyeologist with Ontario Hydro volunshyteered to supervise the dig on weekend s He also played the part of Columbo in relating the arshytifacts found to the known archshyeological history of southern Ontario

Spear points scraping tools hearth locations and pieces of flint indicate that this particular spot on the Eramosa was used as a seashysonal hunting ground by native people from 6500 to 900 BC

Gltlme was plentiful in the oak fore st that once surrounded the spot and the river is home to migrating ducks and geese and several varieties of fish Pike still spawn in this area where a smaller creek empties into the Eramosa A break in the escarpment leaves a gentle slope to tile river in this spot and 50- to 60-foot cliffs bar the way both upstream and downstream

MacDonald belteves the si te wa used by several different Indian culshytures because of the variance in the age of artifacts found small projectile points ranging from 2700 to 3000

years old a scraper tool dating back 9500 years and pieces of flint that came from several di stant areas - the north shore of Lake Erie south of Georgian Bay near what is now Colshylingwood and even from a deposit near Flint Ridge Ohio The latter was probably brought into the ltlrea 7000 or 8500 yea rs ago

Two of the most telling finds un shycovered last summer were dug from the pockets of Ted Presant OAC 55 who found them 15 yens ago when he was doing a soil survey in the area Now retired from Agriculture Canada Presant once worked out of an on-camshypus office and frequently used the area to teach students how to observe chan shyges in soil Lype and stone conten

His finds included an unusual slicshying tool similar to those found at only two other sites in Ontario and a projec shytile point made of Collingwood flint

Both of them date back 8000 to 10000 years

During the twoshymonth dig other Guelphites came forward to show artifacts found along th e river or in their own backshyyards Each one enriches the anshycient history of the area and conshyfirm s something most U of G grads know well - that Guelph has alshyways been a nice place to visi
