10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 11,1988 Newtonville Welcomes New Village Correspondent Scouting Groups Take Part in Tree Planting Newtonville News by Peggy MuUan It's great to meet your. I look forward to being your "Newtonville Connecton" week by week here with the Statesman. Thank you John James Sr. and the staff of this rising Bowmanville newsweekly, for your kindness and welcome. welcome. Living here in Newtonville Newtonville for just about three years now, although it feels more like twenty-three (in the good sense!) I have found the people super and my new home and neighbourhood neighbourhood to be fresh and full of surprises. (Surprisingly enough!) So, you will hear about interesting interesting people or strange goings on, or maybe even things that bug me. All in and around one of my very favourite topics - Newtonville! Newtonville! Live in concert, Brad Halls and Paul Caldwell thrilled kids from two to ninety-two with their performance performance of fun and music in "New Kids on the Block." "Momma don't allow no kissin' 'round her boy!" -Give it to me loud..Give it to me with gumption and pizzazz..But give it to me live! Presented by the Parents Committee of Newtonville Public School, Brad Halls and Paul Cadlwlell entertained entertained a large crowd from Newtonville and area, Thursday April 28 in their professional, kid-loving way. Perhaps as a result of singing songs for their own small children, Hall and Caldwell have a particular fondness for music and young people and as a result, they nave recorded and released released their first album, "New Kids on the Block." They have attempted to fill their songs with a great deal of humor and rhythm. This shone through wonderfully wonderfully during the concert evening, as we all sang along, clapped, snapped, laughed and kept the beat to a terrific medley of "Can't Wait 'til I Grow Up," "Old MacDonald had the Flu" (with a sneeze, cough here and a sniffle, choke there!), to "Born in the Hospital!" (which had to be the favour ite, adapted and inspired by Bruce Springstein's Bom in the U.S.A.) Brad Halls and Paul Caldwell Caldwell now find themselves increasing increasing in demand as pe- formers for children at schools, concerts and festivals. festivals. They have appeared throughout Ontario, and on the CFTO - TV telethon for Sick Children's Hospital, as well as many other events and locals.

Paul Morris Something To Think About IN-GROUND BURIAL The in-ground burial remains the traditional and familiar means of disposition. For many people there is a certain security security in knowing that one's remains remains are returning to the elements, elements, to ancient mother earth, and that they are somehow still here with us. For others it is simply a matter of going along with the norms of family and community. Some religions -- including orthodox Judaism, branches of the Eastern Catholic Church, the Mormon Church, Islam, and certain Christian fundamentalist fundamentalist sects - do not sanction cremation. This rule is based on scriptural interdictions interdictions or on the theological belief that destruction of the body interferes interferes with the welfare of the soul. In the end, one must weigh the pros and cons of the question, question, and deéküe for oneself which method of disposal seems most appropriate. It is easy to sluff off this unpleasant, issue by declaring that it doesn't matter, but often it is a sensitive and difficult issue for survivors.
