lS~ eee- e~UU.eWeUIeaeUeeLILjI~I ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, OCTORER 31,,1990-5 Well, it looks like faîl is fully upon us, ice on the puddles in the morning, and nearly ail the flowers, except a few i sheltered spots, are looking pretty black. It will soon be trne to check out your strings of Christmas lights, for outdoors. 1 have been watching for the stores to put the bulbs out, but probably they, willbe out on display right after Halloween. The weather bas been so changeable, warmn in the sun, coîd i the shade, one neyer knows just how to dress for it. As a result there seems to be an awful lot of people suffering with colds. Everything seemed to catch up with me this past week and as a resutlt. I spent most of the weekend Kendal Hall News On Friday, October 26th, there were 8 tables in play at the Euchre. First place winner, Doreen Green with 80; second Edward Skinner with 79; tied by Eddie Couroux. Jean Allen, John Lowery and Helen Couroux aIl tied with a score of 77. Jean Allen won the Cut of Cards and so received 4th prize. The fifty-fifty draw was won by Kelly Lowery. Next euchre, Friday, November 9th. New admission prices have been set to $2.00 each and the prizes have been increased as well. On Wednesday, October 24th, the Men's County Lodge met ai the Kenda[ Hall. The men of the Kendal L.O.L. 405 held a dance in the Tyrone Orange Community Hall' on Saturday, October 27th. Remember Ladies, our Fifth The Cornîsh Pas tryl by Gord Milîs There are many different sorts of food indigenous to Cornwall, but the most famous of all is the Comnish pasty. This is basically a complete meal wrapped in a pastry case and is the staple dish of Comwall. There are many ways of filling a pastry, but the best-known one is with meat and potato, flavored with ontion or turnip. Best uncooked skirt beef should be used, eut up - not minced. As there should be a bout aà quarter of a pound of. meat per pasty and each pasty should more or less stretch across a dinner plate. It is easy to sec that few of the pasties sold commercially in Cornwall are al that they should be. Also a very proper one 'would be very expensive. Almost any filing can be used in a pasty, from fish to apples or jam. Some Cornish women put meat and potato in one end and jamn in the other so that when their men are away at work they get main course and dessert in one offering. in bcd, so 1 have no news from Kendal Church, So I will bring to your attention, once again, the Kendal Eall Bazaar, held at the Church, on Saturday, November 3rd, 2:00 until 4:00 p.m. Sunday, November 4th will be Baptism Surlday, if you wish to have your child Baptized or you wish to join Kendal Church, contact Rev.

A smile is a passport that will take you anywhere you wantto go. by P. Lowery Anniversary of the start of Kendal Hilîs L.O.B.A. will beheld on Thursday, November 8th. Letter, to, Editor Kendal Column Dear Sir: 1 ponder on the problemr that former Clarke Township is having' with the real possibility that they couîd become a site for a Regional dump. In the early 1970's when the enor- mous study was done on how the Durham- Region should be con- stituted it was NOT recommended that Clarke even be a part of the Region. Clarke was added very much as anafter thought and only after political intervention. (This study can he found in the Regional archives.) Obviously if the, technical ad - visors had had their way former Clarke would.noî now beý the sub- ject of a possible regional dump. It would be interesting toanalysis how Clarke miight have fared without the Region. Probable the same as Manvers. Certainly there would be no dump. It might also bc argued that the regional tax bite would have barely existed for Clarke taxpayers. Eighty per cent and more goes in Regional police and social services. Do Clarke tax- payers use that much of either ser- vices? The cost of water and sewer does flot come out of Regional, Taxes but a separate "water user account" linto which user's pay separately from the tax bill. Now is the tUrne to register. Are yau ready far the pro- pased GST? If nat, naw is the time ta register and prepare. Registratian applies ta anyane involved in a cammercial enter- prise. This includes fishing, farming, prafessianal services and many activities carried aut by non-profit arganizatians. Revenue Canada is ready to assist yau with information an: a Haw ta register and the benefits af daing so a What the GST means ta yaur aperatian a Simplified accaunting aptians and administrative procedures a Rebates af the Federal Sales Tax a Haw ta recaver GST an business purchases a GST return and filing options Water for Newtohville and Orono. The Ministry of the En- vironment would have been obligated to be a larger player in that problem. The Village of Newcastle and the expansion of those sewer and water facilities for development! The people who live there know more, about their feelings on that than 1 do. 1 .ý We will of course neyer know the answer t'o these questions because a formaI enquiry into the benefits of Clarke being in or out of the Region can only be initiated by the elected, councillors. If Clarke was taken out of the Region, th ey would lose their considerable pay cheques. Oh well, it doesn't hurt to muse a little. Your sinîcerely, Ann Cowman Letter to Editor October 23rd Dear sir: 1 am writing this letter to share some horrible thoughts with your readers that come to mind about the proposed dump- sites in the Region of Durham. The reasons that these thoughts do flot go from my mmnd is the fact that Canadci two of the proposed sites,'-'the- Oshawa site and the, Ganaraska site, plus the proposed back-up site at Starkville,, ar e the worst possible places to put a dump site. The Oshawa Ste is too close to the airport and the Ganaraska site is in the Ganaraska River watershed, also across the road from a major tourist attraction, the Oshawa Ski. Club. The proposed back-up site at Starkville has already been tested and turned down for a radio-active waste dump because the soil is too' porous for proper control of groundwater. Now, 1 wilI share my horrible thoughts. Are we unwilling pawns in some cruel gaine thought up by the Region?, Are these proposed, sites just a battle plan to draw the enemny (the citizens of, Durham) from the réal target - the real target being the Laidlaw dump in Newtonville., Is the Region disrupting the lifestyles and heritage of the Ian- downers and neighbours for nothing in this gamýe? Or, did they in choos- ing these sites, play another game that was very popular in my childhood, and that is "Pin the Tail on the Donkey. 1 would sincerely hope that they are flot playing games with us, but if they are, it is all the more reason to unite and fight aIl sites that are pro- posed, including Laidlaw.
