April 10, 1985 Second Class Iva lReiration Num berDOMSG PubiIhd Every Wednesday at the ofieecof Publfratiôn Main Stret Orono Rtoy r- orrctterEffiWo Why flot in Newcastle? Over the past month we have travelled quite extensively along the lakefront of Lake Ontario from Cobourg to Oshawa and even to Whitby and have been impressed with some of the developmnent in two of the mnunicipalities as to lakefront parks for recreational purposes. Cobourg has always had a big feature in is beach and now is progressing with development of what appears will be a fine harbour for the boating community, Oshawa in the past couple of years has made significant improvemnent to their Lakeview Park which likeCobourg is now a great attraction. More is coming in Oshawa with the Ci- ty just recently purchasing more property in the area which had become available. Both centres are Iooking to the future. There appears great potential ai the lakefront at Bowmanville and the wesi sand beach has to be one of the finest in this sector of Lake Ontario and could well equal thai in Cobourg. Unfortunaîely there is no access for the general public and cottage developmneni furîher-prohibits access. The Town on the other hand has taken no action either on the easî or west beach in Bowmanville or as a matter of fact of lands along the lakefront in Newcastle Village. The poten- liai is there and we w7,ould feel the general public would mnake use of such a resource during the summiner mionîhs which could equal ihat of any arena during the inter. h, does appear that the Bowmaniville Harbour Commis- sion does own a great chunk of thie land i the lakefront lin Bowmanville. This mnay or mnay flot be a problemn as the Town would have to purchase land under any circumstance if îhey were to support public use of lands alonig the lakefront. Ilt is surprising thiat no mention was mnade of ihis poten- tial in a Culture and Recrecational plan ýomimissioned by ihle Town somne years ago. We would have thioughtsome mention înay have been mnade of a lakefroni park. This year the Town has in place a Culture and Recrea- ion Planning Comiîîtee whch e (understand, has operated quite well boîh being effective and efficient, Perhaps the notion could be îurned over to this roup of local ciizens who miay see the polential of a lakefront park both as a touri statraction and a facility which local cizens could enjoy. Memorial Hospital fund (Continued from page 1) in memory of a beloved relative-or friend. If you should wish to discuss this ai any imie such arrangements may be made with Mr.' Elsion, the execuitive director of Memnorial Hospital. Let us continue to think thai When We Care, then they can Care Better! Kînsmen (Continued from page 1) nearing the 40 year age group, a point that member- shîp must be dropped in the club. -We are lrying 10 a- tract younger men 10 the organization in order 10 assure the future of the club in *the community," he said. Anderson said this coming year will be a tough year as il means almost starting aIl over again, similar 10 that of a newly cliartered club. The Great Pine Ridge Kinsmen are nol the ocly club in the area faced with a membership problem, stated Anderson and he noted Ihat the Manvers Club was also in dire need of new miembers. He staled members must relire at the age of forty. The Great Pine Ridge Kinsmien club chartered wiih a membership of eighteen did surge ahead 10 a memnbership of Ihiriy-iwo somte years ago but since has been dropping to a low in the early partof 1984. The Great Pline Ridge Kinsmen undertake con- siderable comnmunity service work on an annual basis costing the club someý $5,000. They suipport Cys tîic Fibrosis financially and as well sponsor mninor sports in boîh Orono and Newcastle, assist those 'aîiending the Terry Fox Centre in Ottawa and support senior citizen ac- Lividies. During the years the club has donated $20,000 10 the Orono Arena building fund and was instrumental in the,. first playground equipme 'nt established ai the Orono Public School grounds. Many other smaller project are continually being provid- ed 10 the communfity. Anderson said it has been a lot of work for a few members over the pasi couple of years. He then noted with pride the successful teen dances which are now being held in the Orono Town Hall under the sponsorship of the Kinsmen Club. He said the dance were well aîtended and appreciated by the teenagers who are now saving the pro- fits from Ithe dances to be able to hire a live band in the near future. He said the kids, who ac- tually operate the dances, have done an excellent job. The local Kinsmen do have considerable support from the Great Pine Ridge Kinettes who now like the Kinsmen have dropped in membership. He said the two groups now work jointly togeiher on most projects. Up until Iwo years ago the two clubs operated somewhai independeni of one another. The Kinettes siill caier 10 banquets and do continue wth their comunuity service work such as providing Christmas baskets. "Without the Kinettes we could not survive", stated Anderson. The bi-monthly bingos held in the Orono Arena are the main source of revenue for the club. Anyone wishing mnore in- formation as to beîng a member of the Great Pine Ridge Kinsmien are asked 10 Kecjndal1 News A Lot to Do There are those ini times of doubt who ask whai this life's about.

Don'i Forget the Prairie DustbowlIs from "Baller My Heari" The first glimpse of the prairies in the dried out areas frightened mie. Nolhing but' sanl, mide-reaching sand powdered and shilling relentlessly, wind whipped, Sun scorched, cutting as wilh a razor any tender roots ihat dared 10 try and grow . .. Here and there as spectres of a iown, rose the gaunt mockery of grain elevators to remind men of unfulfilled hopes and labours-lost... Farmers live in a unîverse where they are intimnate with the sky. Like the sailor they have added 10 ihe zest of life the high advenîure of figiing the elements. Rains malter; winds count; the suni makes a difference in the land where the sky cornes down. And in the monîhis and years that have passed the sky - the sky which is our friend on the prairie - îhree years in somte places, four years in spots, five years tin patches, the sky which hias been our friend has sogî10destro us.1Th And the stun has blazed and blistered and baked the earih. And the wind - Oh God, fihe wvind! The -wind' ..In the spring of' this yeai when the wh fole countryside w as ploughied imb chocolate day, the winid took and lifted il to (lie heavens. Oh, Gjod tlie awind! The wNind! Three mon- ths it blew. Il blew the very roads out down there ai Cadjllac, Saskatchewan, blew the gravel roads out. Men made detours because of the wind. Dust - dust everywhere, ialcum power dusi in a great drift twelve feet high, six or seven feet high, five or six wide on top even along the wire fences...
