Diane Harare, a Newcastle councillor, councillor, has said that Laidlaw's existing existing dump has only one year capacity left so that it would not be a feasible option if the application for expansion is not granted. The CIOCA option is also not very practical, as CIOCA is already on record as opposing the use of conservation conservation lands for waste disposal. All municipalities excluding Newcastle dispose of their garbage at Metro's Brock West dump located in Pickering, due to close in 1990. This dosing will leave Metro and the region with no where to dump their waste. Babes in Bookland by Dorothy Robinson Love You Forever Canadian Robert Munsch has authored a block-buster with sales of over 180,000 copies since its release in the fall of 1986. The success success of "Love You Forever" is attributed attributed to its appeal to both adults and children. However this appeal operates on two entirely different emotional levels. Adults become dewy-eyed while children laugh at the extravagantly exaggerated scenes., I was caught completely offguard offguard when I first read the book because I had no prior warnings of its contents or mood. Naturally I anticipated another Munsch masterpiece of hilarity. Soon I was enmeshed emotionally in the touching portrayal of a mother's love for her son through all the stages of his life from helpless babe, 'Terrible toddler, pesky preadolescent, preadolescent, turbulent teen to an independent, independent, adult. Finally it is the mother's turn to receive, care and nurturing. The book's final page shows the bridge between the generations as the son cares for his newborn daughter. Reviewers who dismiss the book as sentimental hogwa.sh underestimate the acceptance of readers who are ready and willing to open up to the emotions which Munsch expresses. Adults are buying this book primarily for themselves or as gifts for their mothers, grandmothers or older offspring. Perfect for. Mother's Day! Be sure to check out this phenomenon of the book world at The Apple Blossom Shop. P.S. - Look in the illustration for the parallel life cycle of the cat. It has been sometime since I have written this column due to the fact, I suppose I just did not have something to write about. But that has changed to some degree. You may recall that last fall I mentioned the fact that Bumblebees had been burrowing into the ground some inch and a half to two inches under an apple tree in the backyard all in preparation to wait out the winter season in hibernation. If I recall the bees were to emerge in the spring after having laid a few eggs in the burrow which were to hatch as workers to assist the parent bee with future broods in a new found nest. But nature being nature there are predators and this has been the case with our under-the-apple-tree bumble bees. A week ago it was noticed that the area in which the bees had spent the winter was punctured by a series, of holes and at least four of the bees were unearthed or partially unear- theds. The discovery of the bees had to be that of a skunk in search of food.. Whether or not it was the bees or possible larvae that was the tempting dish we are not sure but in - any. case it certainly was nature at work in the art of keeping, everything in balance. Speaking of nature the heat of the sun has turned winter into early spring with the wild flowers just be- inging to shoot up and ' the birds returning* This has been noticed at the nature and bird walks'at the Ganaraska Forest Centre over the past coupV " '"undhy afternoons and certainly will be evident again this Sunday commencing at 1:30 p.m. There were 25 out last Sunday. Harry Williams has noted the somewhat rare Prairie Buttercup on the walks and the Trillium are out and should be in better bloom this Sunday. As to birds two pair of bluebirds have taken up residence in boxes a short distance from the Centre and last week along with Meadowlarks, Field Sparrows there were sighted two species of warblers, Palm and the Myrtle. 1 would like to make a couple of comments on the fine production of "Our town" by the Clarke Drama group. , "dur Town" by Thorton Wilder is staged on a sparce stage leaving to the individuals imagination the makeTip of Grover's Corners. It's a different approach and certainly leaves the individual to extend their mental image. It placed me in Napadogan in. New Brunswick, a small community, of a dozen homes scattered on the, side of a hill looking into a valley in themiddle of nowhere. It does have a chiirch arid a Legion Hall and that's it. And believe it or not it does exist. Why Napadogan we do not know 'other than we were quite taken with the place when we visited this New Brunswick centre some years ago with Ted Samuel who still operates a veneer mill in the community. To the Clarke play really meant a trip back into the past and a picture I wilt' never forget, that of ' Napadogan.
