Editor The Conservation Tif 1A couple of weeks ago at a Townof Newcastle council meeting Ward Three reps, both members of thec Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority, tilted at one another briefly. The brief scuffle came during a debate over work to be uintaken at the Orono Park relating to some erosion cont rol work and for which the Town is paying the ful cost of the project and itseif undertaking the projeet. The Town has had input front the Ganaraska Authority but other than that it is a total Town project. Counc. Hamire had macle mention that il was uin- fortunate that the Authority who manicures parks in other mnîcipalities through such as grass cutting wNere unable to provide any funids for the Town of Newcastle in its undertaking of' the Orono Park program. Shte noted at the time, Authorityý spending in the amount of' $20,000 for grass curtting andmanicuring, is not eligible for provincial grants. Further she pointed out that if the $20,000 was spent in the area of conservation thec amount would be miuch greater due to the eligibility of Provincial grants. 1Counce. Woodyard returned that the execuitive committee was quite upset wvith 'Counc. Hamre 's comi- ments and stated that the Towni of Newcastle wa.s treated fairly by thec Authlority and cited thiai over $60,000 retu-rnied to the Town from the Ganaraska for land taxes. He also stated that the Ganaraska had assisted in other projects in the Town. As to the project in Orono the fact is il is eligible for provincial subsidy, 55 percent, through the Authori- ty with the inunicipality expected to pick uip ithe remiain- ing 45 percent. In mnost cases the Authority then Linder- takes thre work on behaîf of the munnicipaliiîy. In the past such a procedure hias exisied wvithfthe Ganaraska, whereby the Town of Port Hope benrefited with a niew small park paying no mnore thantwnyfv percent of the project including -the purchase of thec land. 0f course thec Authority must have provincial funds available through their budget and this does re- quire somne planning ahead. The Ganaraska has over the past four years been placing a lot of the provincial monies mbt their new, office building which they deter- .mined to be the numnber one project and wa.s to take preference over erosion control projects that were, ai the time, being sought in thec Town of Cobourg. Il is interesting to note in the minutes of' the Town of Newcastle thiatthec Central Lake Ontario Con- servation Authority is petitioning the province for- a 55 percent grant for erosion cont roI work for the Region of Durham. In this case flhe Region wili pay the.other 45 percent of the project and il is this procedure that such as the Orono project should come under. If grants aie available they'should be prescribed where eligible for the expenditure of total municipal dollars docs get expensive and does less than haîf the work. A Good Step Forward It is a good step forward for the Town of Newcastle in the implementation of the Fire Emergency number of 911 1 which 15 10 corne into play with the publication of the new phone book later this faîl. This wiil be the case with approval of the commillee recom- m endation by council this coming Monday. The number will cerrainly eliminare a lot of con- fusion and be one that is easily rememnbered. The next step, we would hope, will bring other emergency calîs in line wilh the fire emergency caîl number. Itris interesting po note that there is even a sav- ings to the Town using the new einergency fire number.

With a big straw, hat on her head to guard against the sun, three year oid Gertie Turton, set off front home one day in 1893 to menet the men comning in frorn the fields. Somcewhere between the house and the fields the little g-irl compietely vanisb- ed. Her disappearance Promp- ted a massive sear-cb. Just to feed the search party that combed the area, a steer was butcbered everyý day and bushiels of potatoes cooked. But the searchers found no trace of Gertie - nlot even bbc straw, hat and after a wveek the scarch was called off. Mrs. Turton becamie convinced that a group of Indians seen recently in the area were responsible f o r her daugbter's disappearance. Five long years passed with no0 further word. Then a Methodist minister in South Dakota reported seeing a lit- ile White gil living on a Cheyenne reservation. Hie Iearned that the Indians had migriated fromn Canada sorne years before and lie sent a re- quest to a newspaper asking if anyone might be able to identify the chiid. The papers in Western Canada picked up the news itemn and for months the story wvas a sensation. One Germian settler whose daughter had disappeared whiie piaying on the prairie thought the child might have been bis. She wasn 't. The Turtons also beard the story, and determined to meet the child, they travelledl to South Dakota, There they learned the cbiid was the or- phaned daughter of a Cheyenne squaw and a Wood MWI I Mounain trader. The Tur- tons broughitlier home anyway and later soughit and rece.ived permission to leg-aiiy adopt hier.
