Editor The Best Yet The third annual sidewalk sale and community yard sale along with entertainment in Downtown Orono last Saturday was an undisputed success. There was excellent community involvement along with that of local merchants with the crowd appearing quite early in the forenoon and continuing into well into the mid afternoon. The atmosphere was jubilant and everyone certainly ap- peared to be enjoying themselves as they travelled about the Main Street viewing items for sale and being entertained musically and by Puffy the magician. The Great Pineridge Kinsmen are to be commended for their part in the event assisting with the sale of the 20 cent hot dogs at noon hour and then setting in motion the activities of the evening commencing with a hamburg barbecue at 5 p.m. which continued throughout the night. Through the efforts of the Kinsmen a free street dance, the first in years in Orono, drew a big crowd with this activity well underway at nine and lasting until shortly after one in the morn- ing. The community owes a thank-you to the service club. Surely this event assures others in the future and especially come next July. Orono should share in some development Residential development in Orono has been almost non- existing over the past decade and no doubt for a number of reasons which surely relate to the state of the economy, the possi- ble lack of sufficient water supply and indeed the lack of a hamlet planning which was to be developed by the Town of Newcastle. Many of these factors are now changing as the economic climate appears to be on the move with residential development springing up in a number of areas in the Town over the past few months and with a new well to serve Orono having the capacity to possibly serve a larger community. The hamlet plan for the Village has continually for the past three to four years been placed on the back burner in the Town's planning process which was again the case in 1985 as council and staff through their budget process endeavoured to match work with personnel in the department. To bring the Orono Village hamlet plan to the forefront, and we believe it is time to do so, will require a political decision. This should not be difficult as Orono has awaited while plans for other centres including Bowmanville, Newcastle Village, Tyrone, and Courtice were developed and enacted. Other planning features have allowed development in other areas such as En- niskillçn, Burketon along with rural Estate residential. Surely Orono is entitled to some planning time and it does appear that Orono has been patient. We would not propose large intrusions of homes for the Orono area but something in the order of 30 to 35 would add an added lift to the economics of the community. Such a nûmber allows time for adjustment for all parties concerned as the com- munity moulds itself together in what might be called progress. Some of the planning dollars could well be directed toward one of the older established communities in the area, the Village of Orono. Orono Sidewalk Saie (Continued from page 1) The beat came down at 8:30 p.m. when over 500 locals, both young and old, attended Orono's first street dance in years. Sparky can be commended for his success in providing a variety of music appreciated by all. Locals strutt their stuff (Continued from page 1) theme centres on Burridge's doubts concerning the prac- tice of healing and the com- mercialization of religion. The story's resolution is a positive statement about Clay Burridge's faith and his rela- tionship with his followers. Director Bruce Pittman also directed "The Painted Door", a film nominated for an academy award this past spring. The film's producer, Gillian Richardson describes the film as a dramatic uplif- ting experience about faith healing and its practice. She expressed special thanks to Orono residents Joyce Brownell of Orono won the free draw for a $25.00 valued coupon in Orono 'Bucks'. Any parking tickets receiv- ed in the downtown area dur- ing Saturday's sale will be paid for by the Orono Downtown Business Im- provement Association. The event was jointly spon- sored by the Great Pineridge Kinsmen Club and the Orono Downtown Business Associa- tion. Carlos Tamblyn and George Day for their efforts and assistance. Carlos Tamblyn helped to arrange for the use of the Town Hall by Atlantis Films Ltd. George Day organized the transportation of senior citizens from the Orono Senior Citizens Home to the Orono Graveyard and to the Town Hall. Scenes from the dramatic half-hour film co-starring Robert H. Thomson and August Schellenberg were shot at the Kendal United Church on Tuesday, at the Orono Cemetery on Wednes- day, and at the Town Hall on Thursday. The remainder of the film will be shot in Toron- to. Richardson estimates the film, part of Bell Canada's Global Playhouse Series, will be broadcast on Global Television sometime' in Oc- tober or November. Kendal News A Born Cook by Edna Jacques She had a way with salads, A way of cooking rice, An extra touch to cooking meat, That made it extra nice. A loving pat to buns and bread, That seemed to make them rise, As white and soft as thistledown. And more than twice their size. She had a way of sealin' in The covers of a pie, That kept the juices all inside, The crusts all crisp and dry. She'd crimp the edges neat as wax, Then cook it long and slow, Until it had that special taste, That all old timers know. I've seen her frying doughnuts, In an old black iron pot, The golden circles bubbling up Rich and sizzling hot. The kitchen filled with warmth and cheer, Fragrant with mace and clove, With cheeriness just belching out From that old fashioned stove. And when I see new fangled ways, I wonder how it feels, To sit down at the end of day, To skimpy modern meals. UIl make my grub old fashioned, thanks, For taste instead of style, Thus fortified l'il face the world And neighbours with a smile. Kendal church will be clos- ed next Sunday but August 4 Exchange student (Continued from page 1) Gillian said, adding, "We've done so many different things - sports days, dances and everything else." While in Orono, Gillian at- tended a pool party where she was introduced to the local junior farmer club members, and bas visited several tourist attractions such as Cullen Gardens and the Lang Cen- tury Museum. As well, Gillian, an avid hor- ticulturalist, spent several days working in the green house at the Orono Forestry Station. "I intend to start a fruit and vegetable stand when I return home. All the vegetables will be produced by myself in a greenhouse," she said, adding, "This has been a great help by showing me the way greenhouses are laid out. I know now what I want to do." Her activities in Canada have led Gillian to make a number of conclusions related to this country. "The lifestyle in general is totally different - life is so much quicker here," Gillian said, adding, "The food is also different - the ingre- dients are the same, but are cooked'differently." She claims the postal system in Northern Ireland is more reliable than the one ex- isting here in Canada. "Canada Post is ridiculous," we will welcome our new minister. Dr. Norman MacKenzie called to inquire about the service. He was disappointed that there was no service nearer than Newcastle as he enjoys meeting the local peo- ple. Rev. and Mrs. MacKen- zie and family were spending this weekend at their cottage east of Kendal. We read in the Book of Ruth. "So Naomi and Ruth her daughter-in-law came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest." There are fine fields of barley this year and beautiful fields of fall wheat which will soon have to be cut, now with a combine. In other words it is cut and threshed all at the same time. Some thirty years ago we were expecting the threshers. Of course we wanted them to come when the weather was perfect. However the "Coun- try Women of the World" were coming to Toronto. I did so want to go to Toronto to take in the great event but I had to stay home and cook for the threshers. All the other ladies went. They brought back the menu serv- ed at the Royal York dinner. It was August when Cana- dian peaches, the best in the world, are ripe. What do you think they had for dessert? Apricots, you can guess what country they came from! Canadians fail to advertise our wonderful fruit. You would have thought they would have had dishes of ripe peaches on every table. In neighbourly news it was mentioned that fifty one years ago the Quints were born on May 28th, 1934. Reporters came in droves to Callander. This writer saw them when they were about three years old. They didn't have freedom. It was a case Gillian exclaimed, "My let- ters have been getting home, but his (her husband's) haven't. Over there you send a letter and it gets there the next day. In the country our letters are hand- delivered." Although Gillian is from a village outside of Belfast where roadblocks and body searches are a way of life, she says she prefers a life back home to life in Canada. "I prefer a moderate climate. We don't have the extreme cold in winter you have here. I couldn't hack the heat and humidity," she said, adding, "we certainly don't get temperatures like those here. If we bit 80F, everyone's likely to take a holiday." Back home, Gillian is very active in the activities organized by the Young Farmers Club that operates upon the motto "Better Farmers, Better Countrymen, Better Citizens." "The experience in the club has given me a lot of confidence," Gillian said, ad- ding, "The fact that I've had to stand up and talk to people for fifteen years bas really helped." "The club has sponsored events to raise money for charities and people for ex- ample a sponsored plow." she said. "We plowed a 50-acre field donated by a local farmer for 24 hours." This event and several dances enabled the club to raise 1200 (approx $2400) to purchase a guide dog for training and the blind. of unenlightened mismanage- ment. On Wednesday July 17th the cameramen came to Ken- dal Church to make one scene of the T.V. Film "Legs of the Lame". The evangelist and faith healer Clay Bur- ridge was acted by co-star R. H. Thomson. Reg Elliott was chosen as the convert, Mrs. Olive Little as a choir lady, Chery Foster as a child close up, Leah Hamilton as a lady in a wheelchair who had come- for healing. The other forty Kendal folk took their places in the pews. Mrs. Mary Hamilton of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and daughter Leah visited Mrs. A. Cathcart on Friday even- ing. The Harvest Home Front- old style By Mrs. J. M. Cantlon Hardisty, Alberta A generation ago there were at least two times in the year when a farmer's wife was really happy. One was when she saw neighbourhood farmers gathering with their teams and racks to begin threshing. The other was when she saw them pulling out for the last time until next year. Those were the days of the big gangs usually 18 or 20 men. With our own seven children, myself, and the ex- tra help I had to have, it was really a gang. One predominating feature of those days which will always stand out in my memory is the smell of new table oilcloth. Each year at threshing time, I bought three yards of white table oilcloth. That was what we needed to cover our dining room table when it was pulled out to ac- commodate 20 men. After threshing, I would eut the oilcloth in two using one half for the kitchen table, rolling up the other half on a stick and putting it away to replace the first half when it was worn out. Thus the two oilcloths did me until threshing time the next year. The mountains of food those hungry men tucked away every day was almost unbelievable. Every year just before threshing one or two hogs were butchered and salted down. With that, a full share in the beef-ring, and with roasting six or eight chickens, (this usually for the last supper) as well as moun- tains of bacon and eggs for breakfast, I think those men fared not too badly. Then there were always the four o'clock lunches when I sent out a huge bread-m ' pan full of assorted wiches, and either two cakes or another pan full of freshly baked cinnamon rolls, or baking powder biscuits with butter and jam. There were always three gallon cans of tea and coffee. One unforgettable year when the gang finally pulled out, after an unusually long stay. Emma and I flew around taking the boards out of the table, putting everything away and getting things back to normal, as we planned to do a quilt or two while the men were away. We had set up the quilting frames and had one of the quilts partly on the frame, when we heard racks coming pell-mell down the road and into the yard. It was a little after ten o'clock. It seems the men had had supper and breakfast at this farmer's place and then flatly refused to work another hour if they had to eat there again. Well to make a long story short, those quilts were not done that week. St. Saviour's Anglican Church MILL STREET ORONO, ONTARIO REV.
