2-()roho Weekly Times, Wednesday, April 30th, 1980 THE PLANNER HAD HIS DAY ; Monday evening at the planning committee meeting of the Town of Newcastle the,Director of Planning had his day ànd he seemed to be enjoying it. • The Director was presenting to the committee a- ■ revised, development • plan for the Village,-of Newtonville : along the lines dictated to him by a majority of the committee a month previously. The direction to the planning department: in fact removed the Village from a slow-growth area to one a major growth designation. The former plan having support of the planning department called for a 27 lot growth over a five year period. As pointed out previously the plan would give time to investiagte any negative problems that may arise which then being of a limited nature could be corrected. The dictated proposal by the committee resulted in a plan being presented on Monday that would, at sometime result in an addition of 207 homes in the Village. It was pointed out by the planner that in no way could the department support the plan and it was also pointed out that such a scope of development would require a major official plan amendment by the Region of Durham to bring the plan into line with a major development in Newtonville. It was stated unlikely that the Region would support such a plan without a communal watçr supplies and that also a storm water study would likely have to bë undertaken. It certainly would appear unlikely that the Region would be interested in supplying the Village with a water supply and possible a sewage system since the Town now has unused capacity in the Village of Newcastle and similar position in the Courtice in the near future. Bowmanville has been updated as to water and now under construction an addition to Bowmanville's sewage system. How much money can the Region bury in the ground with little return. Also can the Town afford to place the Village and its residents in jeopardy with a major development without hard services. The revised plan was a direction from the committee and with approval and recirculation the next step was to seek an official plan amendment: It appeared' at this point that committee members were rather hesitant in seeking official plan amendment from the Region as it could be seen at that level of government as being somewhat irresponsible taking into consideration the hard services now in the Town and the economic conditions of the country. The director of plànning must have sensed the feelings and suggested if the committee wanted to make it more palatable they could receive the report and have the plan recirculated. This they accepted and as a result will be given another shot at planning the Village of Newtonville. The planner made his point well.

There is one thing, a man cannot do and that is win out over a woman no matter what age. It appears that Grampa fell to such a fate by his three-year-old grand daughter daughter on Monday at noon. It so happens that Mandy spends the morning, the lunch hour and part of the afternoon with grandma. During lunch she reminds grampa Bat the chickens must be fed along with the dog and at times take the temperature of the water in the greenhouse. Monday was no exception and to say the least a new thrill has been added to the noon hour chores with the collection of an egg or two over the past couple of weeks. Of course we have discussed discussed the matter of the eggs with our helper and are saving them to put in an incubator to raise some young chicks. With all the excitement of a youngster it was out to the chicken house Monday after lunch and sure enough there was another egg to be collected. It didn't take long to pluck the egg from the nest and clutch'it ina tiny young hand. Standing in the doorway of the, chicken' house we were hearing about this great event when all of a sudden the egg dropped to the floor with a ■plop'. No bounce mind you Kendal News "He who from zone to zone Guides thy certain flight will, In the long way that I must tread alone, Guide my steps aright." Early Sunday morning, April 27th a very large flock of wild geese went north. They were quite low perhaps they had spent the night on Lake Ontario. This is much later than some years. In 1972 two large flocks of wild geese went over on April 18th. Sunday was a perfect spring day. We were glad to welcome a Mr. Jeffery DeJonge of Orono to our church to conduct the service. He is attending Queen's Theological College in Kingston. Kingston. Eight Sunday school girls sang, "I've got a mansion", before they went out to their classes. They were accompanied by Mrs. K. Wood. Next Sunday there will be a special service conducted conducted by thé United Church Women. The special speaker will be Miss Beatrice McLean of Greenwood U.C.W. She will tell of the work of the United Church Women. On May 11th the sacrement of Baptism will be administered. The Kendal Women's Institute Institute wish to thank all those who helped in any way to make their Penny Sale a success. The proceeds are used to help provide for our ' 'foster child' ' in Haiti and for flood relief in Port Hope this year, as well as all the other charities, e.g. heart fund, cancer, the blind, etc. The "Dutch Girl" quilt was won by Mrs. J. Cobbett of Missis : sauga, the afghan by Mrs. Shirley Foster of Campbell- croft and the litre of maple syrup by Phylis Ross of London, Ontario. One of the problems farmers' farmers' have is what to do with cats that people drop at then- gates. One farmer I called on, said so many mother cats had been dropped at his gate that now he had eighteen cats and kittens. He was feeding them all milk morning and night. Worse still is stray dogs. Another farmer had a police dog come to his farm. He called the animal control centre to pick it up. They said that will cost $8.00. It con- - tinued to hang around his place until one day it attacked his dog. In trying to save his dog which was no match for the police dog he was badly bitten. Who pays the doctor bill? Then what is to be done to get rid of the dog? Children waiting for school buses may be bitten. Last summer someone dropped a mother dog at a barn near the Ganaraska Forest. The road men noticed that she had Letter to the Editor Dear Sir: Most people are aware that libraries have a greater role to play in a community than ever before in history. It can reach everyone, and is constantly constantly planning and searching searching for more ways to get people using the library. Many research books today are discards after five years. Out-of-date information can be dangerous for students after that time. We have large priht books, Dutch, French, how-to-do-it books, films - everything to help an individual individual to get more out of life. The public libraries act states that the public must have free use of the library and can only make a charge for special services or for a resident who, does not live in the area. Council is well aware that a library budget is fairly rigid - operational costs plus books. Bowmanville library has suffered suffered from lack of books since ' long before regional government. government. The per capita grant that we operate with is only one third of the amount rceived by other libraries in this area. Mr. Barr is anxious to have libraries clean and warm but defer books until next year. Mr. Hobbs feels that Darlington residents can just as well use Oshawa' . libraries even though they pay the same tax as Ward five with two libraries. twelve pups. Next day when they came back she had moved them. They would become wild dogs and attack farmers calves and sheep. Wolves won't enter a barnyard barnyard but wild dogs will. Mr. and Mrs. D. Steckley (nee Hilda McCutcheon) In our meeting with council, each councillor had equal opportunity to give us an operational budget so that we could , put books on our shelves. There are no medals or pay for being a library board trustee. We believé in and care about libraries, A library library is a big business. We need people and books to support it. Our circulation is up 100 percent in the past five years. Film service established established three years ago provides provides a needed community resource. We had hoped to bring our libraries . up to standard with records and 8mm films this year. In addition, the Provincial Government grant for library service is not intended to fully support local public libraries - this is the responsibility of the municipality and library service service reflects the level of support from our council. We feel that the staff and 1 board have proven to have done an excellent job for the municipality and we were. hoping this council would have been more supportive and appreciative of our efforts. efforts. Yours sincerely, Pat Best, Trustee, Newcastle Public Library Board. but resulting in a big crack. Mandy! you broke the chicken's egg. Mandy stood rigid, eyes sauce-like, silent and without even a glance to the floor. Well I reached over, picked up the egg (with still nothing being said) and dropped it in a garbage tin where it really broke. "Qrampa . . . you broke the egg." "But who brok,e it first? ' ' "Grampa you broke the egg." "Ididn't çlo it." "See its , broken,right thfere."" It didn't take too Jong for the youngster to leave the ' chicken coop and 'spread the news to everyone in hearing, that Grampa ,had broken the egg- Your reporter . . . outwitted again.
