M.,"~" < UReeve Woodyard declares intentions Reeve ER. Woodyard of the Township of Clarke Council stated the latter part of last week that he would be a candidate for a seat on the Regional council providing nothing unforseen arose in the meantime. Reeve Woodyard would run in the Clarke-New- castle ward providing the Province allows the setting up of the three wards in the new M-nicipality of Newcastle. Reeve Woodyard states he has been in local municipal politics for some twenty-five years with the Township and the Police Village of Orono. He was elected reeve of Clarke for 1973. Some years ago he also held this same position. Mr. Woodyard feels that the regional system can work having advantages providing a reasonable approach is made by the elected council- lors, School board calls tenders for cafeterias Cafeterias in schools under the jurisdiction of the Nort- humerland and Durham Board of Education will be operated by contractors next year. The decision to put the cafeteria services up for tender for the school year 1973-1974 was made at a committee of the whole board meeting on June 21. Russell Walker, trustee, re-opened the matter at the Board meeting last Thursday night. In the past most of the cafeterias in high schools were operated by the Board and most were subsidized by the Board. Some of the subsidies were up to $41,000 in the last year. The cafeteria at Bowman ville High School was operated last by a catering firm at no cost to the Board. Mr, Walker's concern was \ý01th the employees of the Board who had worked in the subsidized cafeterias. The f191, is flyiig. Will they be employ- by the new contractors? What severance pay were they given? AI Mcleod, business ad- ministrator for the Board replied that the employees were not given severance pay, but the Board has been trying to encourage caterers to employ the former employees of the Board. The trustee from Darlington Sid Worden, said, People in Courtice are sure not happy about this decision. W. Frank Thom, director of :lucation said that he had met "'Tihursday afternoon with the cafeteria mangers and prin- cipals of the high schools. He reported that the managers were certainly unhappy about the decision. How the contractor could operate without loss, while the Board had to subsidize the cafeterias was discussed and it was agreed that the contract or pays lower wages than the Board did. Although the Board passed the recommendation of the committee of the whole board, Mr. Walker, gave notice of motion that the matter will be reconsidered at the next meeting after the tenders have been called for the catering service. This new system will also take affect at the Clarke Iigh School. Weekly films A weekly showing of films will be held at the Clarke Public Library in Orono. The films will be shown each Thursday evening starting at 8:45. The program will be both educational and entertaining and suitable for adults and children alike. A group from Bowmanville known as the Little People's Performers will provide three one-hour programs on the lawns of the Clarke Public Library. The first offering was on Tuesday with the second performance July 24th and the third August 7th. These per- formances are designed by the Bowmanville group for young people. The group is sponsor- ed by a federal grant. The performance, accord- ing to Miss -Marjorie Bell, includes their theme song, a dance, a short skit, a half hour play and a brief work shop in which the audience is asked to participate. The performanc- es, states Miss Bell, lasts no longer than an hour. The group bas been per- forming in Bowmanville and assisting at the library with a summer program. Keep the dates open and plan to have your children attend.

I NOW ITS A NOISE PROBLEMThose in the Mosport area have over the past years been complaining of property destruction by person camping on their land or crossing over it to gain access to the track. Over the past week-end noise became a factor for many in the Mosport area as races were held late into the night and early morning. As the development expands problems will arise which no doubt will have to be governed by local by-laws MOM'S KITCHEN OPENS IN ORONO-Mr. and Mrs. Matt Snelder have opened what they call Mom's Kitchen on their premises, Main Street, Orono. They are well equipped and not only serve light lunches, sandwiches, hamburgers, etc. but also prepare Kentucky Styled Chicken in various quantities. They also serve the delightful potato wedges. The kitchen went into operation last week-end. They are now awaitng the arrival of their delicatessen counter. The best of luck in the new venture for Orono. A FOOT RACE DEVELOPING-A race is developing between the Township of Clarke and Mr. Donald Tennant. Mr. Tennant started a parking lot on the north end of Church Street south on the property of Mr. J. O'Chonski. Complaints were soon received by the Township and as the zoning by-law does not permit such parking lots in a residential arça a letter was sent to the owner to have the vehicles vacate the property. This wish was carried out but the vehicles were moved across the street to the property of Mr. J. Major. Another letter has been sent to the owner and the municipality is awaiting removal of the vehicles. ALLOT SOME TIME FOR THE SHOW:The Eastern Ontario Antique Steam show is coming to Orono August 4, 5 and 6th. Be sure to allot some time to take in this interestmng show. ARTS 100 COMMUNCIATION This credit course offered' by Waterloo University was taken by a number of people in this surrounding area. We attended Orono Public School where we received the lecturs by means of 30 video tapes. Each one of these were viewed once a week either at home on your television or at the Orono Public School. We were also given a handbook containing additional information con- cerning the topics. The University of Waterloo loaned us a copy of each book pertaining to the course. I personally found that the librarians at the Orono Public Library were most eager and wiling to assist me in obtain- ing any books which I required In addition to the lecutres we attended monthly semin- ars with Dr. Gordon. Also in January we visited Waterloo University where we actually had the experience of produc- Rain does dampen ba Barbecued Beef, baked pot- atoes and beans have no regard for rain as was the case last Wednesday evening at the Orono Park when the Orono Chamber of Commerce sponsored their annual beef barbecue. Many of the 325 who purchased tickets sat down to the tempting dish irregards the down pour of rain. The shelter of trees was sought but even these trees did not act as complete shelter. Those man- ing the serving tables were either wearing rain attire or ing a 5 minute television show. During the course we pre- pared six assignments in the form of essays. Our Orono group consisting of twelve people completed the fifth and sixth assignments as a group effort. Most of us found this was more beneficial. In completing these assign- ments we certainly gained experience in film makinep co-operating with one another and communicating rather successfully. The topics varied from you and your senses to brain research, the media and others. We were certainly made more aware of reality. TlV aethod of learning, I feel, . uld be encouraged. It saves time and emotional stress when driving in the wintei By having lectures on tape they are permanent and can be viewed at any time and as many times as you wish. So, in the future I hope to hear about more credit cours- es offered in this manner. Jean Hoy not i rbecue soaked through. All were not so robust to eat in the rain and many of the dishes found their way to cars and home. The organizers were more than 4appy with the response to the annual barbecue which could have easily been a wash out due to the weather. Needless to say not too many stopped to visit during the evening. The event this year which bas been carried on since 1967 was the first to be faced with ram. Hydro expects spring start at Wesleyville Ontario Hydro expects to commence construction of their Wesleyville Generating Plant sometime in the spring of 1974 and when completed in 1980 will have spent an estimated sum of $572,840.00. It is also expected that a total of 250 will be required to operate the plant when com- pleted. The Wesleyville plant will be operated by oi with a possible second plant being fired by nuplear power. The oil plant will house four generators, the first two coming into operation in 1979 and the second two in 1980. When completely operational the plant will produce 2,152,000 kilowatts. Ontario Hydro in their proposal state that little extra pressure on exisiting housing, social and other community services is predicted.
