2-Oreno Weekly Times, Wednesday, October 17, 1984 The Long-Terni View There is little doubt but that a communal water system under the jurisdic tion of the Region of Durham is the only sen- sible solution to correct the water supply system for the Village of Newtonville. The recommendation of 125 individual wells is nothing more than a shott-termn solution that could welj prove as costly in the end for the homeowners. There is some concern that the individual well recom- mendation, and with justification, has been tempered over cost and no doubt over what can be perceived in support from local residents, The, individual well recommendation leaves the problem up to the individuai property owner and there is no" assurance that many of the polluted wiells would not continue to be left to service dwellings in the community. The Region of Durham, although it has yet to pass judgement on a decision, does appear to tend away from a comimunal water supply system which is most unfortunate. After ail they have been invested with the responsibility of a dlean and safe water supply throughour, we contend, the whole area of the Region, not just those areas that had water prior to 1974 or to those areas that have been developed under sub-division agreements. Further the Region has been willing to spend millions of dollars to service areas in the hope of development and miles u pont miles of pipe now lay in the ground giving service to no one. Until development does come this must be at a cost of the present water users. Better it should be usedl for people who can make use of the system rather than someone who may or may not ever make use of it. There must also he support from Newtonville itself and this may be difficult as it is in most centres where water in- stallation first bec9mes an issue.'lIn Orono the taxpayers in their first vote t urned down water by 70 percent of the vote on- ly to vote in favour by 70 percent two years later. Change is always dîfficuit to come by. It appears the Region has been taking the easy way out as in such areas as Clarémont and they do not have any policy as to a new system within an older centre in the Region. This cornes somewhat as a surprise and especiallyso when one con- siders the Region has been in effect for the past ten years. It is to be hoped that in this issue debate and action to be taken can be on the side of reason for a permanent solution a -communal water system. OROHO CRAET- SHOW AND SALE The annual Orono Craft Show and salé is being held this year on November 16, 17 and lSth. The show is being held in the Orono Town Hall. ln speaking with Eileen Stephens she states there is a lot of interest on the part of exhibitors this year and as usual it should again be a great show and sale. EVEN THINXIG ABOUT NEXT SUMMER MINOR SPORT Although the winter sporting scene in Orono is just opening and teamns and figure skaters are shaping into form the Orono Athletic has been giving some consideration to-sum- Mer minor sports for 1985. The Athletic is sponsoring two Midget hockey teams. this winter along with two Bantam teams, two PeeWee teams and two Atom teams. Included in. the -sponsorship is, one Novice team and one Tyke team. Enrolment in both hockey and figure skating is equal to that of last year and in fact possibly a little ahead. The Athletic do see further enrolment in summer minor sports this coming year to a point that it is going to be difficult to provide enough diamonds and soccer pitches for the local teams. It now appears there could be an increase in Girl's Soft- baIl teams from the eight in 1984 to nine in 1985.-There is - expected to be teams entered in basebaîl and for the first time in years one will be a Midget team which has had con- siderable success as a Bantam entry in the E.O.B.A. for the past two years. There will be a Bantami team as well in 1985. Soccer has taken off not oniy in Orono over the past few years but throughout the area and this surge ahead is ex- pected to continue when ten minor teamis are expected to register under the Orono banner comparing with eight in 1984. There will, again, be two senior teams entered in local leagues. It lias been pointed out that Orono has three diamonds and fields which have been stretched to the limnit over the past few years witli minor sports and the popularity of Slow Pitch bail for both ladies and men.

The funeral of John Cathcart, Oshawa took place in Bowmanvilfe, Monday, October 15, 1984. After unloading the bull dozer he was operatîng, he backed up hitting a soft spot. The machine overturned and he Iwas pinned underneath. He was 29 years of age. He was the eldest son of Mr. John Cathcart of Coyne, Ontario.

Miss C. Stewart read Psalm 103. The minutes were read. The bake sale netted $87.50. Offering $11.00. Rol cail - Something for which I arn thankful. The answers were liealth, good food, a home, etc. till we came to our guest- speaker who said, "I amn thank fui that my mother made me go to High School." She herself was more interested in sports and t he outdoor life she said. There were no school buses. It meant walking two and a haîf miles from the lake to the No. 2 highway to catch public transport which took her to Bowmanville High School each morning one haif hour late. At night she had to walk the 21/2 miles home. She regretted the fact that most of her pupils at McLean's School had no opportunity te attend High School. Buses cost the taxpayer a lot of money but every child can go to High School. Miss C. Stewart introduced the guest speaker Mrs. An- nabel Rickard. Miss Stewart said she had read in the news of an interesting bi-centennial talk Annabel had given to the Newcastle ladies would she corne and tell our U.C.W. So today we welcome her.

When Henry VIII became head of the Church of England he had a Bible chain- ed to each pulpit so ail could read, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shal be saved" Acts 16:31.
