FofTeýster, OwnerEditor Subscription $168.00 per annum <Inekwdec; ST> No boom yet There was a great humnan cry for Sunday shopping but from al reports over last Sunday's venture into free-open Sunday shopping the big boom did flot materialize. The purchaser will make the final decision over the next few months as to the profitability having stores open seven days of the week. In the first place there is just so much money to be spent and it is flot a matter of people flot finding the time to spend money but rallier it is a problemn of finding the money in this time and age. Furiher, if our memory serves us right, in the last ventura under the Liberals in liberalized Sunday-,shopping the bloom soon disappeared when the novelty wore off. t could well happen again for many of retail outiets and-the Sunday opening, although will continue will benefit but a few. The profit lina could well drop and stores could bc back to six days of shopping. As to putting a dent to cross-border shopping it may only be a dent. Time wîll tall. hI has been everso Once more we get a sample of the high priced consultants in devising plans to solve problems - the latest the choice of a site for a Regional dump under the guidance of the Interim Waste Management Inc. organization. Nothing neyer seemns to bc new but rallier a rebirth of an old system and truly this was the case last week with the presentation of the long li st of candidate sites. Tlhosa who have followed the process could well see the similarity to previous studias and this latast event. Counc. David Scott was right in seeking to have staff investigate the process and suraly it could only be founti wanting in many areas. But this is ail nothîng new for studies aftar studies are but an exarcise and the issuing of a bill at the end and just how many millions of dollars has been spent on studies to establish a dump site. Likely enough that ail taxpayers in the Region could enjoy a frea-tax year. What about tha local site? Can anyone see St. Mary's Cament lands being used for a dump site when jobs would be at stake and millions of dollars lost in new facilities just getting into oparation at the plant. Counce. Scott has lots of reasons against the Laidlaw site and it suraly doesn't taka an expert to realize that there would be a water problem and every possibility of pollution. Morgan's Road site may be a choice being on a main highway, possible access to Nawcastle water purification plant and on what, was at one tima the need for good agricultural land. Possibly one of the best bets would be Whitavale'of which the Region had dlaims for some months after an exhaustive study and it still ramains on the most recent list having good location and othar naedad facilities available. We may sometime find a dump site but wîll we ever be rid of consultant fees and charges. At the present time take the Town of Newcastlea $25,000 to, $30,000 for a Senior Citizans Facility plan, $45,000 for a industrial Strategy plan, a couple of lakefront studies underway with more tens of thousands of dollars and a most recent Recreational study of which we have yet to see any action othar than suspecting it is collecting dust. It matters not that the province in miany cases pays part of the bil~l the cost still comes out of us aither directly or indiredtly. Town makes appointments to CLG (Contlnued from page 1) Monday avening the Town of Newcastle appointed a CLO for the Town. The Community Liaison Groups will now undertake Stage Re-union at Ne wcastle (Continued from page 1) be on display at the Town Hall as well as othar memorabilia from tha past.

DonnaOates, a spokesperson for the federal task force, said dhe withdrawal of Hornepayne was flot of any surprise as voters had given their counicil a clear message. Laurence Morton on piano and the Harmonicats. Sunday a pancake breakfast is on the menu followed by a recitat by Laurance Morton and a church service. It hias been stated that the week-end has been designed to bring old friends together and bring back a few school and rule day memnories for ail who attend when the school was known as the Newcastle High School. Kendal News .m0 Ihle weekend was as usuaî, dampl but it didn't stop people from comning out to Church and after as we were passing the park dhe bail teamns were getting ready to, play. Mrs. Mary Kay was once again in the Pulpit. The service opened with the Hymn, "Breathe on Me, Breath of Life," and the Caîl to Worship was repeated, followed by the Prayer of Approach. The choir sang, "For the Beauty of the Earth." The children's hymin was "Holy Spirit, Hear Us." Mrs. Kay then asked tha children, how many of them had ever watched a courtroom story on T.V. She went on to tell them that there are five important people in a courtroom, 1 the policeman, 2 the Judge, 3 the lawyer, 4 the witness and 5 the person accused of doing wrong. Jesus wants us to be one of those people, flot tha policeman, flot the judge, flot the lawyer, flot the accused but Ha wants us to bc the witness. Ha wants us to be a witness for the accused. The Prayer of Confession was said, the Psalm was Psalm 104: 24-34. Mrs. Kay read from Acts 2: 1-21 and John 14: 8-17; 25-27. The Hymn "Spirit of Gentleness" was sung. The Sermon was titled, "Power Impmvi4ng ,your oddls against HEART Cnd' FOUNDATION 'l killer SAVE FOR JULY 1ST 983-9605 Dump Sites (Continued Front page 1) inclusion of the Laidlaw sites others are expressing amazement. Councîllor Scott at council on Monday moved that council ask staff for a detailed report on the process that had been followed. He gained support from fellow councillor Dreslinski but council voted down tha motion to wait to see what the final three to five sites mighit be by Septemiber. Counc. Scott scoffted at any suggestion that the St. Mary's cement plant would be dismantled and some 200 jobs lost for a landfill site. He also said if the consultants had followed their process the Laidlaw sites and th'a Morgan Road site would have been eliininated because 80 percent of the land is no. 1 ag-ricultural land and is listed in the officiaI plan as Permanent Agricultural Reserve lands. He also said there had been no concern as to tha hydrogeology studies that had been undertaken on thec Laidlaw lands back in 1988 that would have eliminated the sites tor landfill. He said it ait lacked commion sense. jMayor Hamire said the Region of Durham would flot be commnting on the sélection of a site as it is now the responsibility of the province and the IWA. The for Today". Today is Pentecost Suniday, the culmination of the great fifty days. We often think of it as the day of the coming of the Great Hioly Spirit, this is flot so, God spoke through many before this. it John, Jesus spoke to the Disciples of the coming of the Holy Spirit, that they should receive Power. God promised Power to ahl Christians far and wîde. This is a gift from God, you receive it when you ask God for it and you surrender yourself to Him. Pater, three times denied God yet when lie received the Holy Spirit he spoke out for God. Peter's life was transformned. After Pentecost, witnessing becamne a way of life, flot just telling others but sharing their troubles. We share with our friends and fellow Christians but we also nieed to share with those who are down, those who are lost. With the Power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to endure troubles, pain and loss. The Service closed with the singing of, "Spirit of Gentleness".
