Forrester, Editor ■ Ill . ■■■ ----i ^ The Ontario budget has come and gone You can get as many opinions as to the recent Ontario budget as their are those who have written about it. So what is one more opinion? Surely it was not surprising that it noted an increase in taxation and treasurer Robert Nixon had to resort to an additional additional one percent on sales tax as the federal government through Wilson would not allow a flat rate tax which may have been somewhat fairer. Of course other increases are also in store with an additional one percent on income tax and a jump in the gasoline tax although we would have to agree that the gas tax is greater for leaded fuel than unleaded. There is a simple rule that if you spend more you havq to make more or tax more as the case is with government. Hardly could the provincial government hand out more to education, health care, day care, welfare who all appear appear to be suffering from the lack of funds. Ask any municipal councillor and their need is more funding from the province and this even reaches into supplimenting water installations installations throughout the province where water contamination contamination is prevelent. There is no end to need for funds or the call for funds. The fortunate aspect of the whole issue is that for the majority of people in the province the economy is bounding ahead at the present time. But progress does become costly as noted for individuals as they seek out their first or an upgrading home. This progress and development is so for local municipalities and Regions ans can well be noted here in the Town of Newcastle. The tax increase for individuals may be 6.37 percent but the tax increase through increased assessment assessment by new growth puts revenue tip some fifteen percentage points for the Town. The percentage increase for the Board of education is even greater when the growth in assessment is considered. Politically there has never been the will to step in to correct a cause but rather it has been to throw money at the symptom. There are many current cases of this nqne the least' the development in Gourtice where it would have been better to wait and direct the growth to an established area as Bowmanville or Newcastle Village. The present garbage fix is just another as we waited politically again until such time as waste dumoing costs became prohibitive, $50.00 a tonnej to really start to think of the cause rather than the symptom. Now the Region makes waves for biodegradable garbage bags and asks the provincial government to legislate other over packaging and the use of biodegradable packinging. §« An interesting article a couple of weeks ago made the point that Metro Toronto could solve some of its sewage load by using a $2.00 dam in the toilet box to reduce water in the flush. It was stated that a royal flush was not needed, a straight flush was good enough. The use of the dam could reduce Metro waste water problem by 15 percent. Of course this be may too simple and would not require require consultants and engineers nor would it be necessary to hold public .hearings. And what about public hearings? Will such hearings make a difference to the final decision of Sunday shopping. Letter To Editor Dear Roy: " Now that the dust has settled, i wish to acknowledge your comments comments with respect to theperçeived closing of the Orono Library by the Newcastle Public Library Board. The Library Board members are all volunteers, appointed by Council and funded by the Province, but principally, by property tax dollars allocated by the Town Council. The Needs Study, a suggested long-term" framework for the future, recommended, among many things, a consolidation of the two eastern branches to finance a broader selection of books and basic programs for formér Clarke Township. The intention was to consider the recommendations regarding the various facilities in 1988. The record shows that there were no Library Board motions approving, approving, any action to close the Orono Branch. It has been made perfectly clear that you prefer physical access in both Newcastle Village and Orono. to the Study's suggestions. I assure you that the Newcastle Public- Library Board and Council will take votir views into consideration when review me lone-term pln'ns In the immediate future, the Library Board had planned and with Council's financial support, are implementing a major project in 1.988 to computerize the circulation and record-keeping operations of the library collection. All users will be able to search the catalogue for books held at all branches, an enormous enormous improvement. This task is not possible with the present manual system. Council has approved the financing financing and purchase of an additional 1,000 volumes over previous years. Thus, a better selection will be available to all library users'. The Library will -be emphasizing a new comifïunity information role which will mean identifying both available services and information needs across the Town and making connections between them for the use of everyone, including new residents, industrialists, and commercial commercial enterprises. Much work needs to be done to provide our residents with a library service approaching approaching Provincial standards. Thank you for your interestr Yours sincerely, , Ann Cowman ' Deputy Mayor KENDAL NEWS Here's a word to husbands - written by a wife! It's from Phyllis Bonser of Alvaston, Cheshire. It wasn't the wink .from the milkman Or the smile on the postie's young face, That made my autumn heart beat So loud at a fast spring time pace Just, "You look lovely in that, dear," As my husband went on his way -- These few words stayed lingering with me And brightened me all through the. day. There was a fine attendance Sunday Sunday morning we are hoping for a full house next Sunday morning when Kendal U.C.W. Anniversary Service at 11:15 will be held with Rev. Clifford Waite of Oakwood Pastoral Charge taking the service. He ha& been a minister for 30 years and is presently Chairperson of the Lindsay Presbytery, President of the Wessex Theological College in Dorset England and Chaplain of Zone F4 Royal Canadian Legion. There will be a social hour following the service, Will the Kendal Kendal ladies please provide, sandwiches sandwiches or squares or cookies. On Sunday morning the choir sang, "Oh come to the church in the Wildwood." Scripture reading Acts 4: 8-12; 1 John 3: 18-24; John 10: 11-18; Sermon: Sermon: "Faith a la Carte."

Commencing Wednesday, April 20-23 Ontario East held their Grand Lodge Session in Trenton. This ip-' eluded all L.O.B.A., L.O.L., J.O.A. and L.O.Y.B. Lodgep. There was an excellent attendance from Kendal, thirty, counting, children who did their degree work on Friday night. On Sunday morning before the service we went out to look at the beautiful large table-top, built by Eddie Couroux with storage space underneath for the church tables. The Tale of a Pet Lamb On Sunday morning April 3rd 1 was out washing my car (birds make nests in my garage) when in drove my neighbour, Mr. Rigger. "Had I seen a little lamb?" "No". Well when Mr. E. Smuk looked out his window this morning there was a little lamb running around the old school yard. He tried to catch it but • couldn't. It ran onto the road and away west. I came in and called Helen Wood as they have sheep. She went out and counted theirs. One was missing. missing. The one she had fed on a bottle for two weeks: The mother fed on a bottle for two weeks. The mother had triplets and a sheep has only two teats. Keith went to look for it at all the neighbours'. After two weeks time the mother seemed to have enough milk for three besides what it stole from other sheep with one lamb each. Saturday was a lovely day so all the flock were out in the paddock. Why it left the flock no one knows. Les Morgan iwent tp Oshawa on Sunday April 3rd leaving instructions instructions for Kcyin,Morton to feed and water his cats. So Kevin saw that pellets of cat feed were left on a dish that' he set inside a drive-ili-shed. On Friday afternoon he went ip- side the shed and there was the little lamb in the corner. He ■ phoned , .Keith and he came for the lamb. It was away six days and wasn't much the worse only thinner. Lamb are fed pellets so it simply ate the peliçts of the cat. food. What a miracle that some dog or fox didn't happen along! Now that you are going for an early morning walk before breakfast and watching for the birds in the bare trees you might like to observe the belted kingfisher. Of course you'll find him where there is good filling. There always is a pair down south of Kendal Village near Jackson's bridge over the mill stream. When my husband was driving I àlways looked for one on my way to church Sunday morning. It flies With a peculiar, uneven, wing-beat fattling as it goes. When perched it is bigheaded bigheaded arid big-billed, larger than a Robiti, bljre-grey above, with a ragged ragged crest, the male has one broad breast band the female two. You'll enjoÿ watching it hovering, on rapidly beating" wings, in one spot above the water in readiness for the plunge. Attn Merrill writes: "My first memory of the kingfisher was when as a child of seven I watched them flying back and forth over an arm of the Bay of Quinte known as Pic- ton Bay beside which we lived." Much impressed I wrote some "lines" which an indulgent father (who first led me to like birds) had preserved among his papers, and which were! later unearthed. They went) like this:- Over the water the kingfjshqr flies. He looks for a fish and then he dives He takes it home and fèeds his loung. And then goçs ' back for another one. • There were two more stanzas exactly, exactly, like the above except for the last word in the third line of each. IniNo. 2 it went: < He takes it home, and feeds his wife And|in No. 3 the third line was: He tàkes it home and feeds himself. Sp- that.; the whole kingfisher family seems to have been satisfied. Npw you try and locate it's nest. Dairy employee wanted; must not smdke, drink or eat margarine. Apply Apply at the Orono Times. My brother-in-law always advised his toys (he was a leader of boys) to 'Joip the construction crew not the wreckers'. A few years ago we had the wreckers who wanted to tear down Orono's beautiful Town Hall.
