Foiwester, OwnerEditor Subscription $1 6.00 per annum. Downloading Municipalities and Boards of Education are somewhat fearful of what they cail downloading from the province. t is a matter of legisiation being passed at the provincial level of govemnment of a nature that cause expansion of services to the general public at a total expense to the municipalities and the boards. The Boards of Education see this happening, accordîng to their viewpomnt, almost on a continuai basis and for them and the municipalities it is back to the local property owners for an increased demand of funding. The Town of Newcastle has turned the tables somewhat with the naine change to Clarington. The two local boards of education and the Region of Durham together may well face costs due to the change in the order of $125,000 to $135,000 according to their figures. As the provincial governiment is not that keeni on the whole idea they may well wash their hands of the requests from these outside organizations to pay their costs of the name change. Further the province just doesn't have money to throw arouind any more. This leaves the Town of Newcastle in a position that requests mnay weii corne to thein to cover the costs of the naine change from the local boards of education and fromn the Region. Why not - the cost to the boards and Region was not of their making. t is pure and simple downloading on the part of the Town of Newcastle. Taxpayers in Port Hope, Brighton, Port Perry, Uxbridge could care less about the naine change and it effects themr not but they are beîng hit in the pocket book. It is however interestïng that the two boards of education did participate in the name change scheme of things. They should have made note at the time that their participation did not sanction approval of costs that they may incur due to the naine change. They didn't, at Ieast not openiy, but then that does not elimninate the fact that the Town has downloaded. Locally the whoie issue of the name change sceems to have died a natural death as far as interest is concernied. People seem resolved that it is over. In fact the whole issue dropped in interest throughout the process. The devised process was a plus for counicil as it raised few hackles. What the future holds There are many views as to what the future holds and one thing is sure it is change. Just look over the past fifty or so years and one would wonder just how it ail happened. t did and in less time than a life time. A thought-provoking futures program on TV lateiy spoke of the surgence of a new a technological age which can last no longer than two decades. t is but a short period of time. The new era is not one that wiil deveiopment those jobs in mnanufacturing of which our past economy hais been based. Nor is the new technoiogy is to be considered along the lines and use the use of computers that exist to-day. It was rather jarring to hear that those iooking into the new age of Aquarius had no idea where civilization went past the 20 year period. t is rather interesting that in the Town of Newcastie recent report on the official plan mention was made of the emergence of new environmnentai or 'green" industries. The report states the Town needs to be prepared for these industries of the future. Ln Grafton recentiy a teain of architects studying the area in the CAUSE program were given a view of a proposed waste-recycling plant to be buit in the outside of the community f'or Northumberland County. Not only did the architeets caîl the proposed building an eyesore but said that recyciing was becoming a stite of the art and as such the new building should be designed for - a new-age sanitation facility. Although these two itemns are far ftomn what the futures' prograru had to offer they may weIl bc the beginnîng. The question becom-es are people going to bc ready f'or wholesale change, change of lifestyle, change how we judge others and how we accept others. t wilI bc an uphili battle judging [romn what hais happenied with the Charlottetown accord and eveni seeing what hias been happening with the police and thecir stand in what one could cati disobedience.

They also contented that there was now a reduced medical assist program in effect for rural residents. The issue camne.before coundil on Monday with the Ward Three counciliors and Mayor Hamre stating that they had been getting phone calîs over the issue of reduced service. Coune.

Further to stating that rural residents hiad had their medical assist reduced Fire Chief Creighton said the district chiefs- were not pleased with the new regulations. Counc. O'Toole said it was impossible to give the same level of service throuighout the Town on everything. He said if it was iife-threateniing they would go. Counc.
