2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, May 7th, 1980 (Z^rono Wttkty Etmes , Second Class'Mail Registration Number 000368 Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication Main Street, Orono Roy C. Forrester, Editor THE INTEREST IN PINE RIDGE The scurry by the Town of Newcastle to meet with the Ministry of Government Services, the Minister and to compile a number of reports over the Pine Ridge property would lead one to believe the Town had a keen and compelling interest in obtaining the property. The recent flurry of activity over Pine Ridge would also indicate a burning need for the facilities in future plans of the municipality. The most recent booklet prepared for the Town for presentation to the Minister is lacking in fact and is nothing, more than a public relations piece of propaganda. This is true of the "Analysis for Development Potential" and also what is called, "Development Character". In the later chapter it is written, "Pipe Ridge can evolve into the "social focus" of Newcastle. Moreover it could bring together the full spectrum of its population in a common activity area, that is designated to function for the benefit and enjoyment of all," A ' It gives no fact other than smacking of rhetoric. The booklet also suggests possible use of some of the buildings for administration purposes by the Town of Newcastle. But in fact the Town of Newcastle have never laid it on the line they would use any of the buildings for municipal purposes and it has never come to-a vote of council. In fact, Counc. Prout made a retient statement in council that the property as far as he was concerned would not house administration which in his opinion should rerhain in downtown Bowmanville. If council is sincere in the use of the property for administration purposes that decision should have been made quite some time ago. After all the proposal has been before them for a year and a half. The booklet also suggests a possible use of the greenhouses on the property by the Durham Agricultural Society. This must also be lacking in fact as the president of the Agricultural Society has no such knowledge of any such interest . . . and for what purpose? Surely after a year and a half, a number of reports, an organized committee some concrete suggestions could have been presented if council was sincere in providing something tangible on this property for the future. Council is no farther ahead today as to possibléfunctional use of the property than in the fall of 1978 when the property was vacated by the province. One could well quest!bn if the Town deserves a freebee from the province when they have no direction as to its use. Kendal News John Wesley's Rules of Conduct: "Do all the good that you can, By all the means that you can, In all the ways that you can, At all times you can, To all people you can, As long as ever you can." In our Canadian West, they have had the earliest seeding ever. In southern Manitoba they have had sixty-one days without rain. Last week it was 83 degrees F. at Churchill.

She became became a grandmother of King David and oné'bf the ancestors ancestors of Jesus the Christ. Miss McLean told of Priscilla Priscilla and Aquila who shared their home with Paul in Corinth. Priscilla was of. noble birth and no doubt was a good influence later in Ephesus on young Timothy. The life of Susannah Wesley is an inspiration to us all. Faith will rémove mountains.
