ooking to the future at Clarke Junior Kindergarten approved Last Thursday at the regular board meeting of the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Educa- tion trustees voted 8 to 5 to provide Junior Kindergarten throughout the system star- ting September of 1986. The proposal was con- sidered last year but due to costs was turned down. The program to be undertaken in September 1986 has been reduced in costs as no por- tables are to be purchased and busing routes are not to be extended to accommodate the Junior Kindergarten students. Some reaarange- ment of bus routes could be undertaken however. In speaking with Wm. Car- man, trustee for Ward Three, he said accommodation for Junior Kindergarten would be made in Orono providing the required number of children were enrolled in the The College Day held at Soute (left) the Schooi day opened up the students' far away as Kirkiand Lake Clarke High School on Liaison Officer from Loyatist horizons and increased their and Sauh Ste.

He said it would re- quire fifteen students for a kindergarten for juniors to be opened. If Junior Kindergarten is opened in Orono it would operate in the present building next to the present kindergarten class. It would require the moving of a portable, now owned by the board, onto the Orono school property for use by a senior class in the school. Carman states he sup- ported the junior kindergarten on the condi- tion no further portables were purchased, bus routes were not extended and that a class be of an enrolment of fifteen. The Education committee of the Board gave their stamp of approval for the deveiop- ment of the junior kindergarten. Wants consideration for on-street parking Sharlene Jackson, Mill Street, Orono, who asked council on Monday for a special permit to allow her father, brother and herself to park on Mill Street or for the removal of No Parking signs, will have to await a com- prehensive report from Public Works relating to parking regulations throughout the Town, before a final decision is macle by councit. Miss Jackson stated that the family had lived on Mill Street for the past sixteen years and that due to the rais- ing of the road their driveway had been eliminated by the Town of Newcastle. She also told council that on purchas- ing the house they originally had a designated parking space on Mill Street across from the house but this was eliminated when the Town erected No Parking signs. Miss Jackson noted that her parents had been denied a building permit for an addi- tion on their house due to the lack of parking. She was critical of the three hour parking regulation stating it was ridiculous and useless to enforce the regula- tion on Church Street where she had been parking. "It was the only back street to be hit by the police", she said. Miss Jackson claimed that when the addition was built at St. Saviour's church there was supposed to be 30 park- ing spaces provided. This, she said, was not done. She said she had phoned (Continued page 3) Presented with Leadership Certificates The Durham East 4-H Certificates. fifteen year leadership cer- dian 4-H Council certifica- organmzation at their annual Left ta right) Neil Aln, tificates.
