8, Orono Weely Mmes, Wednesdaey, October 6, 1982 ' Town applies for government grant The Town of Newcastle has made application for two government grants one con- cerning as application for resurfacing the Orono Tennis Courts. On -Monday application for a provincial Wintario grant for the Orono Tennis Courts was approved by council. The total project for resurfacing has been estimated at a cost of $7,500.OO. The Orono Tennis Club, who had previously made ap- plication to Wintario direct- ly, had been turned down in theirý application due to the fact that the courts are owned by the Town of Newcastle. If the application is now arnroved by Wintario al funding for the project is to corne through Wintario asdi through the local Orono Ten- nis Club. The Town has also made application to the federal goverument for funding through the Canada Com- munity Development Pro- jects scherne which was recently announced as a measure to increase employ- ment. If funding becornes available through the, schemne the Town would use the monies for Newcastle Tourismn Development and for sidewalk repair and renovation projects as well as municipal lakefront proper- ty dlean-up.

Lumley described the vehi- cie as "a helicopter and air- craft transportable, arn- phibious, and has a high speed rnanoeuverability. Aimlessly on Sunday after- noon Donna and 1 left Orono ina north-westerly direction with no apparent destination in mind and only to enjoy a' leisurely drive through 'the countryside. Leaving Highway 35 on the first concession road north of the 115-35 junction we travelled west through, what has always been to us as interesting- part of the coun- tryside with rnixed hardwood bush lining both sides of the road. Still with no destination set we continued in our north- westerly direction to finally corneôout north of Brooklîn and then traveiled south into the Town of Whitby where we dropped to the lakefront, toured the the yacht club asd other lakefront features in- cluding a trip to the Cranberry Marsh to spot waht waterfowl may be lurk- mngin the are. in driving south on Brock Road in Wbitby, the main north-south artery, we were caught by the array of colour from numerous beds of marigolds and especially those in a srnal Town park with as adjacent Town of Whitby Information'Centre. A most pleasing impression was left with this Town development and their choice of their Town flower, the marigold. Certainly the marigold is most colourful, stands upright and produces a pro- fusion of colour, ail through the late spring, summer asd fali asd furthermore it is MINISTRY 0F AC3FCULTLIFE a«T 5DAND FOOD osmr pae ONTARIOCosmrUdt Plan shopping strat egy To be a smnart shopper and control the amouint of incorne spent on food prepare your shopping list at home, say food and nutrition specialists at the Ministry of Agriculture & Food, Armned with Caniada's Food Guide, the newspaper advertisements, pencil and paper, plansyour shopping trip carefully to help resist impulse buying. Every day, your body needs more than 50 nutrients to main- tain overaîl good health. Meal planning around Canada's Food Guide assures that you get them al. Sinoe the nutrients in each group differ, and since each group contrihutes a num- ber of specific essential nutri- ents, the groups are not inter- changeable. Here's what the guide suggests that each family member eat every day. Milk and milk products: for children up to il years, 2 - 3servings. for adolescents, 3 - 4 servings. for pregnant and nursing women, 3 - 4 servings. for adulte, 2 servings *Meat and alternates 2 servings. *Bread and cereals 3 - 5 servings. *Fruits and vegetahies 4 - 5 servings. Once the food requirement iestahlished, it is then essen- tial to~ decide which food item will meet the need. Check ad- vertisement of "specials" and then prepare your food list. When studying the meat ads, consider cost per serving rather than cost per pound or kilo- gram. For instance a pound of ground heef will serve three to four people. A pound of spare- ribs will serve one to two peo- ple. If they are equally priced, the ground heef is a better buy. Also, besides meat, the meat and alternate group includes, poultry, liver, f ish, peanut but- ter, dried peas, heans or len- tils, cheese and eggs. These items are usually lower priced thas meat asd add variery to the menu. Use them occasioinally. Unless buying frozen or casned, choose fresh fruits and vegetables in season, and search for those grown in On- tario. They'll taste fresher >-cause they are usually picked ripe instead of being picked prematurely and allowed to ripen on the way. When huying the milk group, remember that it in- cludes whole, 2%, skiai, but- termilk, skim milk powder, reconstituted or evaporated milk as well, as yogurt and cheese.' Cooked macaroni or spaghetti are part of the hread group as are rolle or muffins. Armed with a food list, you are now prepared to, shop. Do so on a full stomach, and hy yourself. Shopping when you're hungry or with other memhe rs of the family often leads to impulse buying. Check products on the shelves above, or helow eye level, they may seli for les than similar items close at hand. Check the hrands, par- ticularly in canned goods. The Word "Canada" in front of the grade (he it fancy, choice or standard ) will ensure that you are getting a product grown or processed here. Buy the grade you need. If you re going to make a green pea salad, you'll probahly want Canada Fancy or Canada Choice peas. If the peas are going into a soup, choose Canada Choice or- Canada Standard peas. Canada's Food Guiide, a shopping list, and awareness can help control youir food costs. almost maintenance free compared to other flowers that could have been chosen. It was a good choice by the Town of Whitby and the idea has certainly been'picked up by individuals as well as by some enterpreneurs as the Marigold Dinner Theatre. 0f course this brought to mind the Town of Newcastle choice of the apple blossom as their Town flower. Cer- tainly we are mindful of the reason behind the choice as the apple blossom does depicit one of the larger in- dustries in the Newcastle and on this basîs the choice could be terrned a good one.

Hardly can the Town enhance Town property through a continuous bloom of apple blossoms nor could any individual or enterprising business. In this departrnent the apple blossom cannot compete with the marigold. But then neither cas the rnarigold compete with the apple blossom, in designating a major mndustry in its locality. locally. We were not too sure we wanted the petunia as a Town flower even though it Rives forth ail year round with an abundance of co lourful bloom. Neither did the pansy excite us in anyway as to a Town flower. We went through the whole list of flowers but came up with nothing better than the apple blossom and -suspect with a littie promo- tion of some formn or other it could do as much for Newcastle as the marigold is domng for Whitby. After ail the apple blossom does bear fruit in the end.
