&-orono> WékyTimies, Wednesday, Novemje(13, 1985- New faces appear The council of the Town of Newcastle could wel take on a new perspective over the next three years with four new faces yet to be annointed with the oils of municipal affairs. New ideas and new directions within the scope of legisiation could weIî resuit and perhaps should. The electorate was somnewhat definite in many of its decisions giving John Winters, mayor elect, Frank Stapleton and Hal McKnight sweeping majorities but also were as defînite in maintaining wîth sizeable ma- jorities- the stability of Regional counicillors, Diane Hamre, Marie Hubbard and Ann Cowman. The status quo was flot good enough for the next three years. Two issues seemed to be paramount in the elec- tion campaigns, taxes and industrial, commercial, development. But the Town has been frugal with its ex- penditures and municipal tax increases have been con- trolled over the past three to four years. As to industrial or commercial developmnent municipalities can be ac- tively involved but are limited in their ability due to economic conditions which have not been that strong over the past nuruber of years. The real learning experilence for new council members will be that of setting their first budget and that is something that starts in December. One feature that çcouncil has lacked in the past is compatibility on a continuous basis. Surely this in itself is one of the more important features so as to develop a viban , ceatvebody to govern in the best interest of the community. To this end we would wish the new council well. But as the order changes one must be reminded of the past and the dedication of Garnet Rickard who for eleven years carried out the duties as mayor, as he saw fit, for the residents of this municipality and cer- tainly during this period with their blessings. Repay-, ment of his timte, efforts and accomplishments will come, we hope, with his personal satisfaction in his ser- vice to his community. Bruce Taylor proved a mainstay on counicil over the past years and without doubt did add stability through his full knowledge of subject up for debate. Most candidates are to be complimented on the vigorous and keen campaigns waged in the wVeeks prior t0 the election on Tuesday. It is a credit to ail, win or loose, and the general public does owe a debt of gratitude to these men and women who sought their- favours. Bearverrs, Cub's anlsd Scoù£ut news reort Once again another month has ended and all the sections have been very busy. Beavers had a Hallowe'en party at the church. The boys came al dressed up and they had two judges come in to pick the winners. They had a colour change of their tails and they read "Friends of the Forest". They also visited the Exotic Caf World north of Orono and this was enjoyed by ail. Beavers and Cubs are busy selling calendars. Cubs visted the Darlington. Mushroom farm on Taunton Road. They also toured ýthe Memorial Hospital in Bowmanville and were told of al the different deparr,- ments that exist at the local- hospital. Apple Day was held on Oc- tober l9th with a tin can cook-out following. Scouts helped with Apple Day and no further news was given from this section. We are in great need of, leaders for scouts. An urgent meeting is being held with the parents of the boys in regards leaders and we do hope to have some good news as to leadership for scouts in order that they may continue for 1985-86. Fund raising held a Euchre Party at the Leskard United Church on October 26th. We had a fair turnout but would enjoy having more people ouf the next time. We did make a little money for the commit- tee. We also had a booth at Mrs. Barb Black's sale where we sold, coffee, pop and do- nuts. A littie more for the kit- ty.

Suzanne Douglas On Sunday mornîng November lth when we went tQ the car to go to church we found it sheathed in ice. Event the doors were frozen shut.
