OnoWekly Times, Wednesday, November 4, 1992 - 7 Durham Co-op dancing cow by Carol-Ann Oster Remnember the nursery rivyme that finished, "'d rather see a purple cow, than be one? Well, I neyer expect to see one. .But 1 neyer expected to see a dancing cow either! The Durhamn Farmer's County Co-op in Orono had a special visitor on Saturday. Dolly, the dancing cow, made a special appearance on Saturday afternoof. Dolly clogged to one diddly only, but it was a sighit to bechold. How can a cow dance, you ask. Well, with the help of Doris Sinclair and Carol Robinson. Okay so the cow wasnt exactly real. It was the two womenl, who are members of the Special Edition Cloggers, dressed in their Halloween costumes. And even though the cow wasn't real, it was stili an intriguing experience. Newcastle Village Hall up for, historical designation Newcastle council are ta confer with members of the Newcastle Village Hall Board and Newcastle and District Historical Society before taking action ta designate the Newcastle Community Hall as a Historical Structure. The designation request from ..le LACAC committee sought both designation of the exterior and interior of the building. The designation process will protect these features from being altered and preserve the structure for use by residents of the community. It was noted in the _report that the Community Hall Board had approved of the designation as a historical building. Staff however suggested that the Town desîgnate the Memorial Library bookshelves with glazed doors, newspaper racks as well as the jail ccll and then with the inclusion of the two flag pales. Staff report that designating these items may hinder the reuse of the property in the future. They did suggest however that the ornate brickwork in hie former library be maintained and included in die designation. Mayor Hamre suggested that the library portion should bc left as is and designated. At least she asked that the Hall Board and the Hiistorical Society be contacted before the designation was approved. Councillors tabled the designation process until such time the two boards can bc contacted as to thecir opinion of' the exceptions that hiad beeni recommnided by staff. The building is noted as Nea- Georgiant brick and stone being designed by Sproat and Rolfe, architects, who were responsible for such significant buildings as Hart House, and Bishop Strachon School, both from Toronto. The building was constructed in 1923 and was a gift to the comrnunity by Chester Massey, a native of Newcastle and a grandson of Daniel Massey of the Massey Harris Company.

Well once again Halloween bias cone and gone,, there were very few children at our boeuse so I went to the Brewers' bouse on Monck St. What a great way to end a nighit of trick or treating. For the second year they had the front yard all set up like an old graveyard, wiffi tonbstones, weird lights, a casket with a hand trying to open it. There were ghosts and bats and even a gorilla running around the yard. Inside in the kitchen of the old original bouse children and adults were met with various creatures froei dont know where, handing out treats. This room was hanging in cobwebs, spiders and black cats. They told me that they had over 100 children visit, now I know that Kendal doesnt have that many kids around, so they certainly must have corne fromn other areýas to see this display. Congratulations on adding somne spice to life. Sunday, another beautiful fal day, there was a good numiber out to church. The service opened with the singln g ot "Hallelujah, 'Hallelujah' , the Invitation-to Worship and the Prayer of Approach. The hymn, "Ahl People that on Earth Do Dwell", was sung, followed by the Prayer of Seif-Examination and the Words of Assurance. The choir sang a beautiful anthem titled, "Search Me to God". This was sung to the tune of Now is the Hour. The children were asked to corne forward, Rev. Black told them that the thing he wore around his neck was called a stole and he asked them its colour, they said red. He told them that each Sunday hie wore a different colored stole. He wears red, 3 times a year. He told them that he was xearing red ibis week because it was Ail Saints Day today. This is the day after Halloween.
