2-Orono Weeiy Times, Wednesday, lune 13, 1984 Seond lss MOI113Regsration Num ber OM368f FbM&istd vy Wdnesday at the officof Publication Min re, Orono rp >1,: oy C. F'ormrcr Editor A STEF IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION This C'orner certainly has to be supportive of the recent announcement by the Ganaraska Region Conser- vation Authority as to their survey of the creek valleys along the Orono and Hunter Creeks. This survey of the natural environmient along these two creek valleys is the resuit of recommendations from the recent Watershed plan devised by the Authority. It is the first major step taken by the Authority to protect and preserve the n atural environment which does suffer from various forms of pressure and uses. The surveys are being undertaken only with the approval of landowners and their participation which in itself strengthens the action of the Authority having, in effect a two-fold purpose, a form of education as well as possible remedial work which will provide a formn of preservation of the creek valley eco-systems. It is to be hoped that the program does receive the support of individual owners to not only the survey but to what remedial work may be suggested. The creeks and their source areas are an integral part of the Wilmot Creek which in turn provides the fresh water spawning grounds for trout and sport fishery in this province. These valieys, along with others, are ail important in this aspect as in others pro- viding a pleasing asthetics to the area, natural habitat and an area for forestry whiçh in the end does have value in air quality. Over the years the Ministry of Natural Resources has, in a co-operative manner with landowners, main- tained a stable eco-systemn along the major portions of the Wilmot Creek but more can be done and certainly the source areas within the smaller watersheds of the Orono and Hunter Creek are important to maintaining the Wilmot as a major water stream in Ontario. We do hope the Ganaraska Authority, does get the support from the general public in their bid for, strearn and natural resource improvements in this area which can then be passed along to future generations in a condition representative of the natural resources. Replacing Sidewalk Downtown Orono' The Town of Newcastle Publicworks depart- ment has started the replacement of the sidewalk -in Downtown Orono on the west side of the street. Work on the project started Monday and is being done in sec- tions starting from the south end of the business section. The project is part of budgeted work by the department for the year 1984. Letter to Edit.or I amn a resident of Orono and arn writing to you ail to complain about the trail bike/ali terrain vehicle traffic in the Ganaraska Forest. My property is located on the 9th Concession line just east of the junction of Highways IlS5 and 35. This property is adja- cent to the Ganaraska Forest itself. Every weekend, both Saturday and Sunday, trail bikes roar up and down our road as they go in and out of the forest. I bring this to your attention since, in addition to the offensiveness of the noise, this activity is ilieg-al; the bikes are unlicensed and unmuffled and hence not per- mitted on Ontario or country roads; the bikes are also niot permitted in the forest (see the attached excerpt from a Ganaraska pamphlet for rules). Unfortunately neither the OPP non the Ganaraska Authority is able or willing to stop this. My neigbbours and I have complained to both but get only tired "jurisdic- tioniai" excuses in return. It is infuriating that private citizens can no longer enjoy quiet weekends in the c:oun- tryside of Ontai io. Unlike the snowmiobilers and huniters who have defined ights for usage of the forest, the trail bikers DO NOT, yet proceed un fettered by any authorities. In addition to violating highway and forest laws, these people dest roy the grading of country roads and private drives, drive trougb newly pianted fields, terrify domnestic and wild animais, and generate a terrible noise. I wouid like this situation to be corrected soon. It would appear quite simple to do. The bikers are generaliy the samne 50 to 100 'regulars'. If an OPP officer were sta- tioned at the junction of 115/35 and the 9th conces- sion (or at the ent rance to the Gjan araska further east on the 9t h) f'or just two or three con- secutîve Saturdays or Sun- days and actually fined the bikers, 'm sure the practice wouid cease immediately. 1 would look forward to discussîng this further and would be b appy for an op- portunity to bring a delega-, tion to the next Police Com- mission or Ganaraska Authority hearing. 1 look for- ward to your response., Yours truly, Diane MI. Schwartz,. Kendal News How barren the beart that bas neyer known love The joys it can impart, Love is ife's greatest blessing and thougb loved ones depart A bit of the joy remains locked in the heart., Church Bulletin 1981 Sunday was hot, bazy and humid, 28 degrees C. or 82 degrees F. on my, ther- mometer. We missed the Sunday Scbool chiidren and tbeir parents at church. Mrs. Lynda King brought a well thought out message entitled "The Counselor, the Holy Spirit will teach you al things." Next Sunday, June l7tb, the Orangemen will parade to the Kendai Church for their annual Church Service at 2:00 p.m. There will be a special speaker. The morning service bas been withdrawn. No service tili 2:00 p.m. Courtice de velopmen t (Continued from page 1) ble correctional costs in the future. Counc. Hamre referred to a former environmental study made in 1981 and said that ail parties must now sit clown to consider the future course for development in Courtice wbere botb the Town and the Region want development. She said she was certain a safe course could be devisedt for developmént* througb proper communication. In asking support for her amendiment to the GPA, recommendation Counc. Hamre pointed out that numerous areas in the Cour- tice areas were ma jor recharge areas for the Farewell and Black Creeks. These we want to protect, she said, as well as some of the natural habitat areas. Counc. Hamre also pointed out that in 1976 the Town of Newcastle through a resolut ion had given their support for the preservation of the Oshawa Second Marsh and it would be unfortunate for the Town now to disregard the eighteen yeàrs spent by the Second Marsh Defence Association toward the preservation of the marsh. She said the Town is not anti-development but they don't want to turn the area intio an asphait patch. She said ail must co-operate in the Courtice developments and in referrirtg tb the Gearing pro- po.saI said it was an attractive development. Counc. Cowman said she welcomed Counc. Hamre's concerns. After a couple of questions, Counc. Taylor said the amendiment proposai by Cpunc. Hamre met his views. Counc. Hamre had mnade a similar statement at tbe General Purpose Committee meeting but was, at that time, unqbie tn gain the support of council members as sbe did on Monday, Be sure to plan [o attend thie special "Homiecomning Service" at Kendal the lasi Sunidayv in June at 11: 15 a.mn. Special miusic by mnemrbers of the choirs over thre years. Many invitations have been sent out to far away places. There wvill be a social hour following the service to visit old friends. At the Annual Salad Sup- per of the Kendal Orange Lodge 405 served on June 2nd, Long Service memnbers were presented with pins. Vernon Peacock had been a member of the Orange order since 1910. Those receiving Long Service pins were John Lowery, James Lowery, Lloyd Lowery, Clarence Allin, Bill Tomlinson, Harold (Mac) Ransberry, Ken Balil, Roy Patton, Bill Clark, Bill Cluney, Archie Hoy, Lloyd Webb, Fred Wilson and Aubrey Tizzard. After the pictures were taken on the iawn, an enjoyable evening-foliowing dancing to the music of the orchestra with Mrs. Helen Woods at the piano accompanied by Bros. James Lowery, Gordon Grills and Bill Rowe. They hope to have them for a return engagement soon. On June 6th' twelve ladies met at-,the home of Mrs. Lenora Stapleton for our, U.C.W.,meeting. Our presi- dent was unable to he with us 50 Mrs. E. Foster opened the meeting with the hymn "Al Things Bright and Beautiful" followed by the Lord's Prayer. Mrs. Helen Wood read Number 30. Mrs. M. Stevens said we learn from this chapter that a womnan couldn't carry out a vow unless her father or her hus- band or some man gave his consent. Things were stacked against women. They stili are today. Read the June Observer. Then Mrs. Levina Downes introducedi our guest speaker, Mrs.' Mary Rutherford of Kirby. She told us somnething of ber nursing career, having been a nurse at the Memorial Hospital in Bowmanville. The roll caîl was answered by ail present as each told of something the' doctor would carry in his littie black bag in the olden days, e.g. ther- mometer, needie, littie ham- mer, forcepts, morphine, placards to nail on doors e.g. Dypbtheria, Smnall Pox, Scarlett Fever, etc. Mrs. Rutherford mention- ed that much had cbanged due to modemn tecbnology but the human touch by the doctors and nurses was stili very important. Community care has been a big belp. Alcoholics can go to the de tox centre where tbey meet at least one staff memnber who bas overcome his addiction to the drug. She told of ber family. Her oniy son Paul is a doctor in Listowel. Her three daugbters are also engaged in nursing and social work. Mrs. Jý.. Downes thanked her for hier belpful taik and presented lier with a smnall gift. July is the montb we go for a trip. Mrs. L. Stapleton and Mrs. F. Cathcart are a comn- mittee to find a place to go. Plans were made for the "Home Coming" Sunday, June 24th. Two hundred small paper plates are to be L-unç.h was provided by MArs. Dora Youngmnan and our -hostessý. The Tin)-linied Trunk by Mary Hamilton (continued). Jack rushed off' for the doctor. Mr. Somnmers stayed with bis wife while Polly swept up the broken pottery and prepared a pot of tea. It m'as almost an hour before Jack returned. "The doctor was out but 1 left a message s0 hie should be here soon." Mr. Sommers looked gratefully at Polly and Jack. "How could 1 have managed wthout the two of you!" Polly wondered what else she could do to help. "Well, Bella is sleeping," Mr. Som- mers said. "Perhaps you could sit with her while 1 talk to Jack. There's something 1 need to say to him." PolIy sat next to the door. She could hear Mr. Sommers talking to Jack in the kitchen. "I'm sorry 1 lost my temper, lad. But when 1 saw the cows in the turnip patch. 1 thought you didn't care about the farm and that upset me. You see 1 planned to buy a few more acres this fali and was hoping that you'd stay on and help me work them." "1'd like to stay," Jack said firmly. "Good we'll set- te the matter properly as soon as BelIa is well again. This is no time to talk business. Why doesn't the doctor get here?" When Dr. Osborne arriv- ed, Mrs. Sommers was awake sipping tea from a cup Polly held to her lips. The doctor spent a long time examining her. "It was a close cal," he said when he came out of her room, "but I think she'lIl be able to hold her own now. It's her heart again. She'll have to stay in bed for some time. You'd better send for Maggie Wilson, 'm sure she'd be glad to help out." "I don't want Maggie," Mrs. Sommers called weakly from the bedroom. "Our Polly will do just fine." Dr. Osborne glanced at Polly then turned to Mr. Sommers, "0Of course, y've got these Home children -to help you now. " "Home chldren?" Mr. Sommers was puzzled. "Well yes, I guess they are but wec don't think of them that wayý. PoIly's been here a long timie and Jack helps with everything now. Somnehow they're more like family, you know." "Weil, well that's fin,, Dr. Osborne said. He turne to Poily, "In that case, l'il leave you in charge of the lia- tient." It was later than usuai when Polly finished her work and went in to say goodnight to Mrs. Sommers. "Go straight to bed, child. You've had a long day." "I've just one thing to do fîrst," Polly said. "It won't t ak e long."- She went upstairs and stood for a moment looking at her sturdy tin-lined trunk. "This time it's for keeps," she sa id as she started to unpack.
