EtIto Yearly Subscription $1200 Phone 983-5301 A jewel out of its setting The Village of Newcastle is ripe for commercial develop- ment after 579 residential permits have been issued by the Town over the past two years for the Village. With this strong growth over the past two years it is understandable that commercial development wiII follow and as a matter of fact is a need in the community. The Town of Newcastle has before it now two applica- tions for commercial development, one of 68,89 1 square feet on the north side of Highway 2 west of the Village between Ruddell and Givens Roads and a second of 53,821 square feet on the south side of Highway No. 2 at Arthur Street in the east end of the Village., S1 The Region of Durham through its OfficiaI Plan has established a maximum of 100,000 square feet for commercial and personal service space for the Village. The two applications in themselves amount to more than the total set by the Region and this is without considering the existing commercial area downtown and the potential it holds for further expansion. The downtown does have potential for extensive com- mercial and office space expansion where such as parking can be supplied. t appears to be a natural for redevelopment. 1.But as happens redevelopment in a downtown core is slow to move as the owners of core properties are not developers. As a result commercial developers, with the knowledge of what,1 how and when, move in at the outer fringing to provide the service. t is now happening in Newcastle Village even though opportunties exist in the c9re area.. No one can fault the proposed development in the west of the Village thTat was presented to committee last week. It ap- peared to be well planned in a maIl effect with an ideal mix of 20 stores along with a major eestaurant, office space on the second floor and 20 residential imits on the third floor. The drawings shown had a great appeal 'and one would have to agree that it ap- peared to be a "people's place". It's a jewel out 6f its setting. A compact commercial section is a desirable planning objective -having àdequate facilities for parking, pedestrian- movement and of course retail and other services, a, one-stop shopping area. Downtown Newcastle could easily fill this re- quirement witl, core redevelopment. A ferw thoughts ... t was interesting to read last week some comments coming out of a liberal party strategy meeting in wh ich there was some support for "Claw Back" as far as Old Age Pen- sion and even Canada Pension Plan was concernied. What happens when the liberals somewhat agree with the conservatives who are on record to tax-back some old age pension funds where, the receiver has an income of over $50,000. We see nothing really wrong with "Claw Back" other than we hate the term. No doubt it was dubbed as such by the liberals to hamper the conservatives in their move to tax-back sorte of the pension. It is very doubtful the country cani continue to finan- cially support unîversality and it does make more sense to support those, to a greater degree, where there is need. The money must however come from somewhere and that should be such funds as old age pension where it is not needed. Attending the Liaison Committee meeting las t- week of the Durham Region Waste Management, Committee it was surprising to hear questions comning from the audience that one would have thought people would have known. Surely recycling and some of the other questions have been a round for at least a couple of years. Is it that there is still a selling job to do.? But it is also surprising as to the slow pace of progress in the Landfill For Durham Only process. The engineering McLarens handed their first report to-Durham Region in 1985 and another in 1988., As we recaîl these discussed the options open to Durham and as far as one could see last Wednesday the report had not advanced too much further. The maps, and its always well coloured mnaps on display, only outlined the existing uses of land. No great deal taken in isolation to'the problem. And then one spectator ask- ed where the map was outlining the agricultural land. A rather fuzzy answer from the consultant. There could be some hard decisions made as to waste management and to the reduction of waste at the source. But hard decisions are hard to come by from the political arena at ail levels of government. Maybe someday the lîght wîll shine. Kendal News Once again we had a beautiful sunny Sunday. t is hard to believe that we are only halfway through winter. After such a cold December, now we are having thunder and ramn and mild weather. With weather like this, it is hard to know just how to dress, when you go out, it is cold enough for your heavy coat outdoors, but when you go into the stores you roast. Oh well, there is nothing we can do about it, but take it as it comnes.- There was a good attendance at Church, the choir sang the anthem, "'There is a Blessed Saviour, He lives within my Heart." Before the children's story, the children sang the song, "What I Gave Him," then Rev, Ransom asked them, "lHow do you feel, when you are coming to C1Iùirh and Sunday School, and some of your friends are out playing," their answers were very interesting, some said, "happy," and some said, "mad at times." One thing about these young ones, you get the truth. He told them that when they came to Church, they were making a state- ment, that Church is good, they are Steering Committee formed for Seniors (Continued from page 1) meeting of the Senior Citizens Cen- tre Steering Commitee was includ- ed. The new committee was formed as a resuit of a recent survey of 200 in which it was felt there was now a need for a, Centre for seniors. Counc. Hamre is chairman of the committee. Five years ago a report of a study submitted there was not a need for Seniors' Centre but the report did recommend that the issue be looked into in five years. The committee is to tour neighbouring Seniors' Centre for their next meeting. Counc. Deegan asked to be a member of the committee and was 50 appointed. Other members in- clude Don Welsh, Roxy Ramnes, Glenn Prout, Mac Ramsay andI June Clark. Pub night Orono Hall (Continued from page 1) Times. The adults are flot being Ieft out of the activities in March for on the l6th, Saturday its pub night at the hall. This is a new feature for the hall and an added attraction will be the son8s and music of Janette Desousa who has always been a it in this community. Come out and support the Hall Board in their efforts to provide good entertainment in the comn- munity. A little encouragement through your attendance couîd see more for the future. Litte Pedro (Continued from page 1) "We give you nuclear power, dlean, safe and cheap", sa id-,the bureaucrat. "Bull" cried Pedro but the response from his audience was mutted this time as it was on the next cail, even weaker. Pedro was losing the battle. When the bureaucratic bull showered the arena with coupons for ice cream, other delights and letting the others know how they. feel. The Sermon was, "Instruction for Personal Wholesomeness." We are brought up to believe that it is better to give, than to receive. Wholesomeness is, 1) be yourself, let others be different, 2) be humble before God, be concerned for others, 3) learn to receive, do flot be afraid to let our needs be known, learn to accept, the greatest gift, God's love. These three, make us whole. Once again let me remind ail, that Sunday, February 1 lth will be Appreciation Sunday, when we honour those that have given so much of their time and energy to the Church, and because of them, we have an active Church to'this day. I see that the signs, that were knocked down and broken were 1once again put up, this time, mother nature was the vandal, and blew them ah dcown. Remember there will be a Bean Supper at the Church on Saturday, February lOth. Plan to be there, they certainly put up a good meal. New proverb: " If you really can't afford, it, use your credit card." by Phyllis Lowery Coca Cola for those who believe it is the real thing the crowd vacated the stands to the arena floor nowý happy with their new champion. Little Pedro did flot cry out he knew the end had arrived and he left the arena for his smelly dressing roomn with his senorita, Tina- Katina., Bernie Martin not only writes the play but is also solo on stag operating his lighting systemn and playing accompaniment on the dulcimer, an instrument in which he takes great delight. According to the program the performance was dedicated to Sid and Mary Rutherford and to SAGA (Save the Ganaraska Again) to which the proceeds from the even- ing was presented. SAGA served coffee and cookies after the perfor- mance. In thanking Bernie following the performance Kathy Guselle of SAGA complimented the performer for his vision, passion and humour. It was alI evident in the perfor- mance and those in the audience were attentive throughout. Martin has announced a further performance later this year and also said he is preparing some theatre works for children with a lighter.- theme in a cushion concert in the Orono Town Hall on March l4th and to present at some schools in the area.
