it was so deserving One couldflot help but be touched witb the letter of nomination presenting mhe namne of Ralph Wood for bis part in being a Good Neighbour flot only to those next door in is part of Town but for the community as a whole. The letter was a feature at the recent Strawberry Social and il, the letter, and its nominee had to touch everyone in attendance. Ralpb, through bis daily greetings along the streets in Orono and is efforts in inproving the environment, has been carried out day after day, year after year. To see tis attitude and ibis commitmnent being recognized may a'igh point for the day and as well one to remnember. Congratulation Ralph and tbank-you Jean and Alan Adley, your choice could flot have been better. Let's invent the wheel again and again The consulting firm , Macviro Consultants Ltd., who, are undertakig a waste reduction study in Newcastle were cbarged with once again re-inventing the wbeel, as a result of the study and a report tbat is ta be presented to counicil near the end of the year. The public meeting drew nor more than fifteen people this being most unfortunate as the study is geared to get public input to a n agreeable method of reducing wasue. ThU charge mhat once more we endeavour to re-invent mhe wheel was well taken by Susan Elston, Helen MacDonald and John Veldhuis. The option are flot mhat many and out of mhose presented mhere appears to be but one mhat is flot complicated but still allows a person to spend wbat hey want in garbage disposai. The real decision of course come from mte general public who apparently at miîs time is not too-concemn. The leadership should be coming from the elected but unfortunately mhey seems to prefer to add anomher suudy on top of ail mhose that bave already been completed. Ibis goes for ail levels of goverfment from municipal up to the provincial level and possibly ta some extent to mhe federal level.. Consulting must be one of mhe most lucrative enterprises in mhe country at mhis point. In Newcastle we bave mhe province paying for the study wbich is being repeated in other municipalities> But wben mhe question is asked what other communities mhere is flot answer coming forth. It would seem mhat local coundcil is capable of determining, wimh their staff, the most reasonable means of providing incentives towards a means of reducing garbage. Ibis might mean they may have to go out on a limb but its leadership that would carry it througb. It would be at mhis point mhat mhe general public would make their viewg, known. Surely the interest at mhis point is at a most point.. One mighu suggest mhat we reverse mhe procedure. Instead of going to the public first, get an agreement from mhe municipality and mhen take mhe issue to mhe public and don't be swayed by a minority on whicb most decision are made. We have enough round wbeels It's a different world The recent announcemnent by General Motors mhat co-operation is a requirement from labour in mhe future should flot be taken lightly. We know live in a different world. It is not just Canada and mhe u.S. and mhe Auto pack. The auto industry is well capable of great over- production and competition of bomh a finance nature and mhat of quality wiIl be the key to success. It is.to-be hope dm calm minds do seek out a form of co-operation mhat is needed througb allindustries and their workers-. Nothing can be taken for granted. Itfs a world enterprise. 407 Highway (Continued from page 1) called for the attention of those present. Lynn Helpard denounced. the Open House concept and called for open public debate with the poiticians sitting on stage. In speaking to Cliff Lumley, project manager, Helpard, sgid we want that message taken to'the Minfisury and the politicians. Helpard said he was flot happy with the route, the southemn route, the loss of prime agricultural land and suggested mhat the environnent had' taken precedent over agicultural land. 1Helpard intimated mhat the gravel industry and Mosport had been favoured. «We will no let it happen", said Helpard. He noted mhat the area residents had stopped a dump for radioactive waste and more recently a possible dump for the Re2ioil of Durharr. "We will fight onl". Another resident affected by the proposed highway, Roy Dalzell said that due ta the route he had already bast $300,000 ta $400,000 value on his property. "Who is Well, we are officially here. It has felt like sumamer for the past weeks and then the day it becomes official, the temperature drops. Saturday andý Sunday were clear and breezy, aluhough it did look like rain Saturday morning, but we only got a few drops. I went picking bernies on Friday, there seem to be plenty but they do need main badly. The lawns are already starting to tura brown. Weatherwise this old world is sure in a, mess, earthquakes, tornados, volcanoes erupting, typhoons, hurricanes, every week you hearof one or the other striking some part of the world. You certainly can niot coumt on the weamher, even the weather reports given one night for the next day, are quite often wrong. Sunday was a beautiful clear, breezy day, there was a good turnout at Church. The Service opened with die Hymn . Author of Faith", the Caîl to Worship was Psalm 92: 1-5; then the Hymn "Morning Has Broken" was sung. The Anthem was sung by a quartet, Helen Woods, Joyce Boudreau, Ifs happening! I~I:vvAi fa revolutionary' old, but very dear-to-the-heart feeling . . . actual head-held high patriotism! Don't auh... It may be happening in smail doses, and ever-so-quietly; - that's the Canadian way, but with Canada Day upon us, 1 cannot remember for a very long trne, seeing as many waving flags, flyers and calendars of celebrating events, as I have. Just when everything seems the bleakest too... Hand in band with an încreasing number of Canadians who are going to compensate me," he asked. Daizeli noted that it was along a seven minute drive to Highway 401 and the there was no need for the 407. He also criticized die Open House concept for presenting the plan. Lumliey did pointed out that-the plan was the choice-route at this time by those associated with the project and that the purpose of the Open House was to gain input from the general public and from those directly affected. Further, Lumley stated that the Ministry did have a pre-purchase plan that for those wishing to seli prior to construction of the highway. He said the Ministry would pay market value with the route having no influence on reducing the value. Those in attendance did fmnd the presentation detailed in all aspects of the project but some as Gail McKenzie, living north of Solina, said they were surprised after feeling that they had purchased property a number of years ago that would not be affected by such a proposal. 'Now we will be within 500 meures of a major highway.» Some shrugged the issue off as being too far in the future to worry about. It was pointed out that the Ministry wanted to protect the route which may flot be used for up to twenty years. Ron Phillips and Bryan Ransom, accompanied on the piano by Fera Foster, they sang, "Why do 1 speak about Jesus." The Service took a different form, Rev. Ransom read from the Scriptures and Hymns were sung between each group, uis gave all a chance to do a lot of singing. It was very enjoyable, but I'm not sure that 1 would want to do this every week, it la a lot of getting up and down, and the old legs arent what they used to be. In the afternoon many of Bryan's friends went to Newtonville uo say their farewells to the Ransom family. It is when you look at their children that you realize how the time has gone by, they camne here with one child, now they have tree and two of them are in school. Don't forget Sunday, June 3th, will be Bryan's last Sunday with us, everyone plan ta corne oui, let's MIî the church. Taken from a poem 1 just read: June brings tulips, Mies, roses, Fis the children's hands with posies. Hot July brings cooling showers, Apricots and gillyflowers. showing their discontent withi the' govemmienu, more of us are really standing up for this country, instead of hiding in the shadows of embarrassing politicians. Canada needs more vibrant red and white out there in the open. Our children -need 10 feel proud; - they need to have some feeling of substance and promise for the future. The sooner the better.
