2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, May 23, 1990 SeeôndlassMad RegstrattanNumber 00368 PuMsited Every Wednesday at the iffice of Pubheiation MainStreet.Ormo - - yC.F reserEdito r . It could be said once more One had to be somewhat impressed with the efforts of the Orono firefighters a week ago Saturday with their project to supply paint and to then provide the labour to paint the outside of the Orono Arena. Fifteen strong and over four hours to complete the job the firefighters provided over 60 hours of free labour and at a cost to their association of over $1300.00 in paint. We certainly heard no one grumbling about the project from the local fire hall and it was all work when we had attend- ed. Maybe it could have been done the easy way by pegging it over to the Town but that was not the intent. A job well done and the result is most obvious. The firefighters have also assisted with other projects in the Village of late and their efforts in community involvement certainly extends beyond fire protection. No w;onder we get confused over Meech It's almost two years and will be in June when the Prime Minister and ten Premiers burned the midnight oil to devise what is known as the Meech Lake Accord. There was confusion then as to what had taken place in the back room and to what it ail meant. Nothing has improved since then and the muddle con- tinues. How can anyone expect support from the general public for such a mishmash. Last month Mulroney in speaking to the annual council of Canadian Unity said "the Accord doesn't mean that Quebec is privileged or gains any special powers . . . the distinct society clause clearly stipulates that it takes no powers at all away from the federal Parliament." That was last month and from the Prime Minister. Last week Premier Bourassa of Quebec objected when it was suggested by the Meech Lake federal committee that the distinct society clause "in no way impairs the Charter of Rights." Bourassa thinks otherwise and would oppose any change to the distinct society clause. How do we settle any issue if in the first place there is no definite determination what the issue, or in this case, the clause means. If we have learned one thing in ail of this it is "never put the ten Premiers and the Prime Minister in one room for any more than ten minutes. There's a defin ite difference in Delsey Some years ago the manufacturers of Delsey toilet paper had a little jingle that there was a "Definite difference in Delsey". It was a cute advertisement especially the jingle. We were reminded of this jingle last week when the Durham Recycling Centre disputed Regional provided costs of recycling. The 1989 operation cost of the Recycling Centre handling our recyclable items was a net of $82.34 per tonne while on the other hand the Region of Durham was quoting figures of $217 per tonne. There is a definite difference. To be fair the 1989 costs of $82.34 per tonne may not be totally relevant in 1990 and the Recycling admit that with a drop of revenue through payment of $10 per tonne for waste paper therehas been an increase in the net cost this year in recycling. The first three months of 1990 show the Centre operating at $125. per tonne. This still is a far cry from the $217 per tonne quoted by ihe Region. It is interesting to note that next year is election year in the Region. A year in which all elected wish to keep the increase in taxation to a minimum or at least to have something on which to justify their increase. Durham has had some healthy increases in taxation over the past couple of years and there is no doubt that circumstances may be such that the politicians are faced with this in 1991. Better to have something to blame it ail on and recycling may just be that something. A number of years ago the Ganaraska sent a task force around the area pointing to the lack of provincial grants to keep the Forest Centre operating. When it ail boiled down the fact was that the province was keeping pace with the cost of opera- tion in their grants for the Forest Centre. Back to the Region and the Centre. It was only this year that the Region decided to take over recycling fromthe non- profit group and this was to happen in April or May. The Region.has now postponed the take-over until later this fall. There may be an underlying factor that being cost of operating through the Region compared to the Centre. There is one other fact of interest as would relate to the 1989 recycling net costs to the Centre. The $82.34 per tonne in- cludes pick-up charges which Glenda Gies suggests averages out at $40.00 a tonne in most municipal pick-ups. In Newcastle that charge may well be close to $50. per tonne. With tipping fees of $28. per tonne (after rebate) municipal garbage costs in total may come close or even surpass the cost quoted by the Recycling Centre for recyclables. We need some straight answers. Kendal News The first holiday weekend of what we hopefully call summer is here and like so many called long veekend, the weather is lousy. The date of celebrating the 24th of May or as it used to be called Victoria Day has once again been changed for the convenience of some people, although for the life of me I can't see who. Like so many other dates we observe, they are changed at will, they even try to change the lst July so it will be a long weekend. Why don't theyjust lump all special holiday dates together and take a whole week or two off, then we could have ail the bad weather at one time. Just watch the 24th of May will be a good day, weather wise. All grousing aside, maybe we should blame ourselves more for all this strange weather. The old saying was, you can complain all you want about. the weather but you can not change it. I believe like a lot of the old sayings, this is not true. We have made such a mess of our en- vironment that we are responsible for the many changes we have seen in the seasons in our lifetime. The winters are cold but less snow, more rain, the spring seems to take much longer to warm up, the summers seem shorter, hotter and drier, and fall comes on suddenly. The leaves turn much earlier and drop sooner and there does not seem to be that space of time to adjust to the change. We do not need fall or spr- ing coats anymore, we go from wmter wear to summer. Sunday was as usual, raining and windy, not a day for family picnics or for going to outdoor activities. There was a pretty good turn-out at Church. The Service opened with the singing of the hymn, "Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life". The Call of Worship was led by Allan Baker, the choir sang, "Search Me Oh God," this was sung to the tune of "Now is the Hour."- The Children's Hymn was, "The Wise May Bring Their Learning." The Children's Story was told by Rev. Ransom, he based it on a story about camping. He asked them if they had ever been camping and what had they taken with them. Their answers were many, from blankets, clothing, their favorite toy to food, most favored mar- shmallows and hot dogs. But they all agreed that matches to light a fire were very necessary. Bryan told them of a group that went camping and how after they ate, they all sat around the campfire until very late. After banking the fire, they went to sleep, when they woke up in the morning; everything was covered with snow. They were cold and needed to get warm. They gathered sticks and build a new fire, only to find that they were out of matches and had no way to light it. Finally they went to the old fire and they found a coal that was still warm. They carried it over to the new fire and all blew on it until it became very warm and it started their fire burning. Bryan told them that God's love is like that warm coal and is within them and that when (God blows on it, it starts to glow and warms them. He then asked them to join him in singing, "It On- ly Takes a Spark."- Allan read from Acts 17: 22-31 and Ist Peter 8:13-22 and Bryan read the Gospel, John 14: 15-21. The Pastoral Prayer was led by Rev. Ransom. We are sorry to learn that Riat Foster's mother is not well, and our prayers go out to the Bruce Family as their little daughter faces surgery on Tuesday. Rev. Ransom based his Sermon on the saying "Time and time again." He spoke of how we have all used this saying of time and time again. I have told you, not to do this, or to do that. It means go back to the beginning and change or start over. He spoke of all the oil spills, the disasters that we have caused to our world, time and time again, and yet we do not seem to learn, we have heard the question, if you lov- ed me, it is a question of uncertain- ty, time and lime again we read in the Bible where God has asked the question, do you love me. Why do we love HlIm, we must find our own committment, then if we love Him, we will live with Him in our world and our lives. We will keep his com- mandments, 'Love another as you love yourself, Love your enemies, Love one another, as I have loved you.' In our world our interpreta- tion of the Scriptures is different than those of other parts of the world, we look at things more materialistically, we do not share a mutual love with Christ. Christ loves us in spite of our behaviour. Time after Time the Scriptures tells us of God's love. The Service closed with the singing of O'Lord and Master of us all, Remember if you are going to help fill the dockets for those attending the Bay of Quinte Conference, be at Newtonville Church, ai noon on Wednesday, May 23rd and they still need more help at the Conference, so if you can give a few hours of your time call Inez Boughen.
