Forrester, Owner-Editor Subscription $17.00 per annum -Differing philosophies it was rather mnteresting to hear the debate at conclusion that there would appear to be some difference as to philosophy amang council members. 'Mat certainly would be nothing new or even unusual until we tbought on what side might we be on. The issues that gained the most debate was that of the development of an environmental committee and as well the debate on the waterfront trail system. 1 Botli issues have longterM implications that should be positive. We should flot pull back from.environmental improvements or from any action that may bring about improvemnents. The environmental committee it bas been suggested could be on a trial basis for two years and if flot productive to the then council's view it could be- dumped. Theoe is really nothing to loose but some, one would hope to gain. As to the Waterfront Trail it bas been well fostered and mothered by David Crombie and his group, real sale people and displaying thair imaginations. When Crombie was in attendance at the Clarington coundil recently nary a word against the dreamn of a waterfront trail. This was flot the case on Monday at council and but for Councillor David Scott the cupboard was bare as far as the Waterfront Trail\ was concerned. We must say that Counc. Scott was on the short end of numbers as to opinion but most persistent in is opinion and in is drive ta get it'across. As of to-day there may be better places to spend the money but no one is going ta tip over the funding that bas been set aside for the waterfront by the province. 1The waterfront trail is not for to-day but is sometbing we can leave for the future. 0f course we eould leave a stripped land for our grandchildren and their cbildren or wa could do sometbmng ta, leave some semblance of an environment and a place to stretch in the future. If we only had water According ta, a list of events being held in Port Perry over the two present week-ends it is mostly a matter of water ta a great degree. Driving ino the Town the first tbing ta arouse curiosity is the expansive outdoor rink on the lake mucb in use witb suitable weatber conditions. 1The Snowflake Festival is a great idea and its dog races this week-end along witb other events. And its ail outdoors. Happenings....g Mayor and Councillors snowbound Tbree members of the Municipal council were absent at the table Monday morning due ta being snowbound. Absent were Mayor Diane Hamre and Councillors Ann Dreslinski and Ken Hooper. No once could say that preferences were being sbown in snow removal for our elected which was often a point, made in the past. Council was Idelayed for twenty minutes while Councillor John 0'Toole awaiting Councillor John 0'Toole arrival. Clarke High Commencement in June Clarke High School bas cbanged the date of the annual commencement which has been beld of late in October.

Clarington Concert Band group entertains A group of twelve, forming a Brass Ensemble, from the Clarington Concert band provided the musical background for the Mayor's Levee on Sunday. Il was a program of some marches along with other forms of music dating back inta the past. Kendal by Phyllis Lowary Daspiteafal my good intentions of starting the year off with a column in the first issue of the paper in 1994, 1 didn't make it. Like practically averyane that you talk ta, 1 bava bad evary kind of flu that I bava ever beard of, just when you tbink you -ara on tbe mend, along-comas a new variety, certainly knocks the gnergy out of you. Naxt faîl, I am going ta make C;olump sure I get a flu shot. Ta everyona that bas bean goiog through this flu seasan, 1 hope that this cold spell bas killad ail the germs.

Now wbat eaur we brag ta tham about cxcapt that we had ta watk ta school and didnut bave-ta worry about whethcr the sebool bus startcd. Sunday started out cold and sunny, when 1 drove ta churcb I could sac the parking lots at the ski bill were full. It was good ta gat back ino the normal routine of lufe, starting by going ta cburcb. Rev. Black welcomed everyone. The opening hymn was, "Tell Me the Old, Old Story". Ian Savage led in the Invitation ta Worship and the Prayer of Approach. The bymn,, "Thine is the Glory', was sung, the Prayer af Self-Examiination and the Words of Assurance followed. 1A beautiful sang, "My Jesus, My Saviour", was'sung by Ian Savage. The cbildran came forward and lan askad tbem if they remembexred wbat the past season was called, Advent, the time we Icaamed about the birtb of Jesus. This is the season of Epiphany, alI about God being revealad in the buman form i Jesus. 0f how Jesus as a 12 year old, didn't mean ta be bad, but He just stayed behind and was listening and taaching the Rabbi's in the Temple. The children were askcd if thay tbought that God ever laughad, did He gct sad, did He ever cry? Jesus did, so when we say we dont know about god, that is not trua. We have Icarned wbat Jesus was like, s0 we know what God is like. The children's hymn was, "The Family of God." The seripture raadings ware fram Matt 1: 18-25; 2:13-15 and Luke Il: 1-13. Rev. Black titlcd bis sermon, "A Father Like Joseph". Wben Jesus was asked ta tecb is fallawers ta pray be didnt mean father as we take it ta mean. Jesus said Abba. which is Arabic, it means the samne as aur cbildren learn ta say da-da, wbich is actually the first word a cbild laarns ta say. Jesus was speaking ta Josepb. We don't hear toa much about Josepb, he bas been pusbed inta the background, Mary, is wbo most of us think af wben we think of the birth of Jesus, but Jaseph had a profound influence an Jesus' life. Jesus relied on Joseph, he saw the example af Jasepb's devoutness, bis dedicatian ta his family. Jesus relied on Josapb's guidance. Sa when Jesus was asked ta teach others ta pray, he really meant Joseph, bis father, wben he said Abba. Who was Jaseph? be was a man engaged ta a yaung girl who came ta him and told bim tbat she was pregnant, by bis laws be could not mnarry ber. He meant ta go ta ber privately and break off tbe engagement but he was told in a dream that wbat sbe said was true and that ha sbould marry ber. That she would bear a son, and tbat Joseph sbould nama him Jesus. Joseph was a devaut man, and be obayed tbe wards of God. Joseph was a carpenter, a quiet man wbo did notbing to draw attention ta bimnsclf. Jaseph found bimself witb his youiig wife, a cbild on tbe way and be must go ta r egister. H1e took Mary witb bim wbctbcr the baby migbt bc born as tbey travelled, tbey carne ta Bcthlehem and could not lind a room, s0 they took shelter in a stable, wbicb was rcally only a cave behind the inn. There the baby was bom and Josepb named bim Jasus. Cao you picture the commotion wbcn the shepherds came ta see this child, and than tbe wise, wealtby men came seeking tbe baby just born, bringing witb tbemn gis. Joseph and Mary wara vary tired and sattled down for a slaep. in tbe sleap, the angels came ta Josepb and warned bim ta wake Mary and take ber and Jas us inoaa fareign land at once, because Herod had ordered ail baby boys killcd. Joseph did flot question, he took tbem ta Egypt and thare be taok cara of thamn by bis ability as a carpentar. Wban Herod died ha brougbit tbem back ta their home Jasepb was a devoted father ta Jesus. Sa let us neyer again pusb Josepb inoathe background. Jesus tald bis friands ta look ta bis father, Joseph, and do as be doas. Jesus bad a wonderful example in Jasepb, many af us bave been fortuate ta bave had a father who was a good axample, many are nat 50 fortunate. Wa bave bad the lova af a father, his protection, but ail people have thaý Love af God, we have the opportunity ta follow tha wilI af God, ta accapt His challenge and allow His spirit ta motivate and fulfill aur lives. Ian Savaga gave the Prayer of Tbankfulness and following the offering the Prayar af Coneero and Commitment. Tbe closing bymn was, "He Lead Us Living On."
