Ask your funeral funeral director about these various various aspects since they may be factors in your decision about where to hold the funeral. In addition, you should consider consider where the service will be most meaningful to you. Your church may hold more meaning than the funeral chapel however the time and day might not be available or convenient which is why most funeral directors have a funeral chapel to service their clientele.

The third week in November November was proclaimed Recycling Recycling Week in the Town of Newcastle. It served as a reminder reminder of the importance of recycling and as a benchmark benchmark of how far we have come in just a few years. Ross Stevenson, a week before the federal election, offered a guarantee from the Ministry of Transportation that due to aviation risks from birds which dumps attract, attract, the feds would not rezone rezone the Oshawa airport airspace airspace to allow a lanafill site on the Nl site, south of the 401 between the Darlington Provincial Park and the Darlington Darlington Generating Station. One of the most successful successful Bowmanville Santa Claus Parades ever took place late in November. Floats, bands, and the merry man himself all combined to spread a little Christmas cheer only a month from Christmas Day. Near the end of November November the Outlook column of the Statesman carried the opinion of one of our editors, Peter Parrott, about the new town hall. He said, in part, "the floor-to-ceiling atrium is not only a massive waste of space but also an architectural architectural feature that dwarfs individuals individuals using the town hall....the crescent-shaped black granite council table is big enough to seat an entire football team....the town is in danger of being in the position position of someone who bought a Nehru jacket or an Edsel." Other than the occasional remark remark heard in the town hall, the majority of comments were made in agreement with his assessment of the NEWCASTLE Town Hall. Laidlaw Waste Systems Ltd. took its first public step toward expanding sixfold its landfill site northwest of Newtonville late in November. November. They held a public meeting meeting and tried to reassure local local residents of the safety and benefits of a landfill facility. facility.

The Northumberland- Newcastle Board of Education Education elected Diana Stewart as their new chairperson at the inaugural school board meeting on December 1. Wilf Day was elected as vice- chairperson. A Bowmanville resident, Sue Cochrane, won $100,000 from Wintario. The Gar- row's Variety employee bought the ticket from her place of employment.

One such proposal is a senior citizen citizen non-profit housing com- ilex. Newcastle Council msn't decided what to do with the land yet. Browning-Perris Industries Industries announced a proposal this month to build a medical waste treatment facility in the Town of Newcastle to incinerate incinerate wastes such as gauze, bandages, surgical gowns and gloves. No definite definite plans have been made for the facility yet. At the inaugural meeting of Durham Regional Council, Council, members unanimously, elected Gary Herrema as Regional Chairman, a position position he has held since 1980. He predicted the next three years of office will be difficult difficult for the Region, citing garbage and affordable housing as issues that had to be faced.

M l Political Hobnobbing With Harvey Happy New Year by Harvey Malcolm January the first is the traditional time for making new resolutions. January, as the name indicates, depicts the goddess Janus with two faces - one looking forward and one looking backwards and indicates a time for rejuvenation rejuvenation and a concerted effort effort to make a new beginning. beginning. It also suggests this to be an appropriate time to make a new start, kick old habits and strive to make a place in the sun rather than drift with the tide. One of our favourite quotes taken from Longfellow Longfellow deals with "Success" and goes as follows: "The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever whatever you do." Too often we depend depend on or look to extraneous extraneous factors to influence our future plans rather than looking inward for motivation motivation and the necessary extra spark of energy and dedicated dedicated persistence to a cause to rise not only with, but above your fellow man (or woman). woman). According to financial analysts, analysts, 1988 had a growth rate of 4%, they also predict 1989 will have only a 2% rate - sounds like a "skim- milk era ahead. Regardless, may the readers of this column column have a happy healthy and hopefully prosperous 1989. Tli<' Canadian Statesman.
