2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, April 25, 1990 OronoMeekp Eimts SF _n_ CaMn. maRegstrahoNumber UOf The Twentieth Anniversary Earth Day celebrated its Twentieth Anniversary on Sunday with millions of individuals around the World taking part in planned outings in one form or another. Orono was not missed with Public School children planning trees at the school grounds, exhibits at Spring Fest with Green Products, trees from the Nursery and other items as compost boxes. The day received wide publicity and was greeted by many world-wide. But remembering that Earth Day twenty years ago was to be the starting point of an environmental sound promise for tomorrow there has to be some disappointment. From the political standpoint all the promises - the new laws, the bureacracies, conference and studies, are in the main still the same promises repeated time after time. There is much we still do not understand but there is much much more that we do and the technology is there if there was a determined will. But we cannot blame it all on the politicians for as in- dividuals we must all play our part and not only at the gar- bage bin but in a lifestyle that recognizes were are damaging the environment and destroying what we should be leaving for future generations. Local we dispurse almost as much garbage as ever before and those in Ontario and especially in the Greater Toronto Area produce more garbage per individual than others in other parts of the country. If Earth Day of the future is to record success much more has to be done and we have to see that this happens through our own lifestyle and that in the control of the elected. Happenings ... AUCTION AT ST. SAVIOURS An Auction Sale is being held at St. Saviour's Anglican Church on Saturday, May 5th commencing at 11:00 a.m. Its a fund rasier for the church.

Reports have it that lona Development has now placed a rezoning signs on their property and submission are ex- pected from this area, in the Ganaraska Headwaters area. Refining regional budget (Continued from page 1) twelve percent. Refining of the budget is now necessary to find funds for the development of the landfill, especially for the early- stage planning. Up front money from Metro, $41 million was to give the Durham landfill the send off this year to be ready for 1992 and then to be used for four years when a permanent site is expected to be in place for Durham only. Now in jeopardy is a new police station in Pickering, renovations to the Homes for the Aged, northern area road construction along with other capital projects including new administration centres. The proposed 12 percent increase in taxation had been stated would increase Regional taxes on the average home from $35.00 to $40.00. Through the deal with Metro Durham was to recevie the $41 million upfront which would have been used for development of the landfill along with roads for gar- bage trucks and municipal water systems for neighbouring com- munities close to the proposed land- fill. In addition Durham expected to collect some $251 million in charges for use of the dump from Metro over the four year period. Orono Hamlet plan (Continued from page 1) the Orono meeting. Further in her presentation she said a drilled well on the property was producing better water than is being provided through the Orono municipal system. A rezoning application by Jan O'Chonski, in which the planning department is recommending denial, is also to be considered at the Orono meeting. The parcel is a ten acre parcel west of Main Street in the north of the Viallge. Estate residential (Continued from page 1) PLanning chairman Marie Hub- bard voted to deny the plan stating that no development should be undertaken until a study of the Ganaraska had been completed. "Is it too much to ask to delay this proposal until we have ben- chmarks for future development. Elva Reid and Kathy Guselle, chairman of SAGA, both stated that 1000 acres of land had been purchased in the area by developers who plan proposals. Gary Herrema, regional chairman supported the development both at the committee level and at council. He said the stories about other developers preparing for more rural subdivisions is only rumors. Kendal Nei Hopefully the warmer weather has finally arrived. Thursday was a beautiful day, and although there was rain most of Friday, it felt more like a spring rain. Yards are starting to take on that fresh swept look. Tulips are coming out and buds are showing on the shrubs and trees, to let us know it won't be long now until you can start cutting the grass. Sunday was a beautiful day, and it was Earth Day. A day when everywhere people were being made aware of what is being done in our world. Let's hope they do not forget what they learned, by the end of the week, like so many other things we are taught. There was a Pancake Breakfast at Kendal Church to start the day, Sunday. They would have liked to have had more out for it, the breakfast was delicious so you miss- ed a good meal. Prior to the Service Bernie Martin provided music on his hammered dulcimer, the tone of this instrument is so gentle and pure, it reminds one of the sounds of long ago. The Service was based on our world and how it was given to us to care for. The choir sang the anthem, "Precious Calvary." Rev. Ransom in his time with the youth, asked them if they knew what en- vironment meant. There were many interesting answers. Then he went on to ask them how we could ail protect our environment. Sometimes the children can put us adults to shame. We must try and follow the things they are being taught, and not go on believing that we know it all. Bernie Martin played the guitar and told a story of greed and of the teachings of Bud- dha, of how he was asked what it felt like to not want more and more, and then Bernie went on to give us a poem about a garden, where ail the roses were dead, because of what we have done, and then he sang the song, "Cross Over Red Rover." The morning prayer was a prayer forour earth. The Sermon was bas- ed on the beliefs of Native peoples of the world. In Guatemala, native man asks forgiveness from the earth before he breaks the soil to plant seeds in it. In our own part of the world, our native people did not believe that anyone had the right to claim ownership to the land, it was a gift to them to use, care for and nurture, to give back as much as you take to keep you alive. The white man believe that they should harness nature and make it work for them, they want to own it, they do not care for the land and when they move on, they leave the land useless. Native peoples believe the land is holy, because their ancestors walked on it before them and that their children be taught to care for the land, as when the parents no longer are alive, they should honor the land that they walked on. White man buys and sells and uses the land and doesn't care. To subdue or live in union, which class do we fall into? Remember, Sunday, May 6th, will be, Kendal U.C.W.
