| DRA el v [ F582 pe mm nm A Correspondent of the week " Inever liked living in cities. by bruce arnold This is the fourth in the Star's tributes to the dozen faithfdl country correspon- dents who write local news from places like Cedar Creek, Scugog,. Epsom and Nestleton. Weekly newspaper editors come and go and the style of writing on front and editorial pages may change but the bulk of a successful news- paper - the country columns - continue year after year to keep the hometown paper on its proper track. The contribution to weekly journalism made by these tireless writers is unique. The Star is happy to welcome our newest writer, Jean Bolan of Nestleton, into its newspaper family. Jean Bolan was 'talked into" doing a Nestleton- Caesarea column for the Star just over a month ago. She is our newest columnist. Jean and her husband Bill have raised 11 children and now have 23 grandchildren living in Ontario County. Her youngest daughter, Debbie, , lives in Port Perry and has just celebrated her first wedding anniversary. "I'still can't get used to the idea that Debbie is married, Mrs. Bolan admits. She 'says people are always. suggesting that she should take it easy now that the family has been raised successfully. But Mrs. Bolan continues to add toher busy schedule of activity. She is second vice presi- dent of the Nestleton Wo- meng Institute and conduc- tor with the Canadian Order of Foresters. She is an avid fisher and in addition to writing one of the biggest and most interesting col- umns in the Star she still writes poetry for her family and friends and works the 2 acre plot behind her seven room house. "I feel there is too much in life to learn to sit still, she says. 'There must be more to do than have 11 kids." This year Mrs. Bolan is Want joint meeting with authorities Cartwright Township council has asked . the ministry of the Environment at Queens Park to assist in setting up a joint meeting with "a competent author- ity" for Cartwright and Darlington townships to ask questions regarding the pro- posal of H. Ambrose to turn part of his townline property into a sanitary landfill site to be used for garbage disposal. Cartwright will invite Darl- ington to the meeting as soon! as a date is set by the provincial government. Mr. Ambrose has a 400 acre farm which overlaps into both townships. Part of his property is taken up by a 20 acre, worked out gravel pit. It is this pit which he proposes to use for land fill operations. ' PROPERTIES ON SALE Council decided to list with Forder Real Estate of Port Perry lots 29 - 33, plan 162 in Shady Acres, lots 19 - 21 and part of lot 22 of the same plan, lot 11 plan 628 on Summit Drive and the Foresters lot in Nestleton which is designated as half lot 16 concession 7, for sale. Council is asking a total of $20,000 for the property, which is owned by the township. WAR ON DOGS Following a complaint regarding dogs running at large in the township council authorized Eddie Williams to get an assistant who will be responsible for picking up all stray dogs. Cartwright council meets regularly on the first Tues- day of every month at the township office in Black- stock.

"I am learning carpentry and everything." The Bolan's .have only lived in Nestleton about ten years. Before that they lived in a city. "I never liked living in cities. I find people around here are real." She particularly likes writing about older people. Every Father's Day her 11 children with 11 spouses and 23 grandchildren converge on Nestleton. It looks like Bolan camp, she comments. We need a beach of our own and you should see the dust when we all take off down the road together. The correspondent rea- lizes that people like to read little bits of gossip from around the community but, she says, they can be a little boring to write. So she makes up a little philisoph- ical thoughts to stick be- tween the news to make it more interesting. She says she thinks up the thoughts herself and is filling abook with them for future use. Since she started writing for the Star her car has been tied up in need. of repair. I'll be able to get more news when I get my car on the road," Jean Bolin predicts.
