Editor la--Mrnm■... mm »■ ■ Only In Orono - The news report on the front page of this issuç of the Orono Times as to "The Ruddock and Rena Waddell Waddell Scholastic Trust" for selected graduating students at Clarke High is somewhat typical of this community and especailly so, the Waddells, who did hold a great interest interest in this community and its welfare. The Scholastic Trust will benefit graduating students in this community and those represented at Clarke High School for at least the next twenty-five years ^nd perhaps for further years to come. As the Trust is substantial the monetary value for graduating students will be likewise and in itself an incentive incentive for higher education. The fund will also assure deserving students with scholastic abilities but perhaps lacking financial funding that a further step will be' available to them in their search for higher education. It all comes about through the love of life and the love of a community. This the Waddells must have experienced experienced in their life-time,in the Orono community. The benefactors of this tremendous gift will be the future generation's of this community and those associated as students with Clarke High School. The gift is also full recognition of the importance of education held by g past generation which they now pass on to the future. Surely the community can do nothing ejse than pass on their unlimited thanks. Shed a Tear The story of Kevin Denbok, f," who performed performed at the Kinettes Pub Night at the Community centre last Saturday evening is quite dramatic realizing this youngster may have only a few years to live being afflicted with Cystic Fibrosis. The young man is an excellent entertainer with a fine voice and abilities in song writing. He has devoted his abilities and time and accepted a challenege along with Kinsmen and Kinettes to do everything possible to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis and at least to make life a little easier for those children who are afflicted "with this disease. His visit to Orono did have an impact on the Pub Night audience and it was an occasion for some to shed a tear. Our thanks go out to the local Kinettes and their counterpart in this community for their work in this most worthwhile project. Your promotion on Saturday will not soon be forgotten. Dig A Bigger Hole We were somewhat disappointed when the Region of Durham representatives met the Town of # Newcastle council, a couple of weeks ago,in a discussion of waste management, a problem that increases year by year. The only solution seemed to be, "dig a bigger hole".' No innovations proposed or even considered in the discussion from the group from the local upper tier of government. Nothing will eVer be accomplished unless some form of new ideas are put on the table. Anything new is always termed too .costly biy this has not been the case in 'other'countries and especailly where in Japan waste necylcing has increased, from 14 percent to 46 percent of th£ total volume of waste. Certainly this has not placed the Japanese economy in jeodpardy but rather through the re-use of waste the country has surpassed most in their economy. And why does this Region have to consider that the residents of the area cannot become involved to assist in any program that is workable. Instead of looking looking for a bigger hole they could consider ways in which the individual may take part in overcoming a mounting problem. Others have done it why not here.

A coward can smile when there's little to fear, When nothing his progress bars. But it takes a man to stand up and cheer, While some other fellow stars. The third week in January started out very cold. By Thursday it had dropped to 4 degrees above zero Fahrenheit or -14 C. Friday was a beautiful calm winter's day but on Sunday the fog was so dense all cars had to travel with lights on all day. They say *a winter's fog will freeze a hog' so by the time you read this it will be cold again. Several have the flu. Rev. A. Tizzard chose as his scripture reading St. Matthew Matthew 16: 13-20 and Releva- tions 2: 8-11, He continued his series on the seven churches churches of Asia Minor to which John the Divine wrote these letters. The sermon was entitled, entitled, "The Church of Smyrna." Smyrna." Smyrna was a most beautiful city. It was referred to as a most beautiful ornament, ornament, a crown. It was situated on a beautiful harbour. harbour. The city surrounded the harbour and rose up to the mountains in the background. There were several temples on the mountains. mountains. It was rebuilt in 200 B.C. For four hundred years it was dead. So these people understood when they were told that their Saviour was dead and is alive again. In verse 9, "I know thy works and tribulations and ■poverty." The church was under trial. Many of them were freed slaves. They were told that some of them would be cast into prison but they must witness for their faith. A speaker spoke fluently against Christianity and all that it stands for in a large hall in England. Then he challenged any one in the audience audience to come up and debate with him. A silence fell over the audience. Finally two girls came forward. They said, "We cannot speak on a public platform but we can sing." They sang beautifully, "Stand Up! Stand Up for Jesus!" Soon the audience joined in with lots of volume and when the hymn was finished the speaker had vanished. ■ These girls had made their witness for Christ so must we in our own special way. To Joshua God said, I have been with Moses so I will be with you. The disciples of Jesus had the promise promise "I will be with you, I will never leave you." To the Christians he said: be thou faithful unto death and I will give you a crown of life Rev. 2 V 10. After the service seventeen people stayed for lunch arid the Annual Meeting of the Church. Rev. A. Tizzard opened the meeting with prayer: Mrs. Ron Frank, Chairman Chairman of the Board, called on Mrs. M. Stevens to read the minutes of last year's annual meeting. Then Mr. J. Westlake gave the financial report of Kendal Church. Mr. Len Falls gave the account account of the missionary giv- : ings • which exceeded last years, Mrs. Dora Youngman, President of the United Letter to Editor Dear Roy: Your editorial comments regarding the use of funds from the Impact Agreement begs a response. The Town of Newcastle, being aware of the negative impacts which had occured in conjunction with the Bruce Station, where the cultural facilities of the communities were strained to the limit, undertook to arrange an IMPACT IMPACT AGREEMENT with ■Ontario Hydro concerning the probable social impacts which could be occasioned by the construction of Darlington Darlington Generating Station. Impact Funds were established established in two accounts and held in trust and accredited to the Municipality to be drawn upon to address these impacts! impacts! Some of these funds have been used to create expansion of services where it is anticipated anticipated IMPACT will occur. occur. This approach, different than at Bruce Generating Station,, Station,, will save the Town of Newcastle from adverse financial impact and will accommodate accommodate the needs of construction construction force workers as they expand to a peak of 2,800. Hydro Workers who have moved in the Town are largely largely composed of administrative, administrative, engineering, technical anti clerical personnel, personnel, who will, as the Recreation Recreation Needs Study points oüt, create increased demand upon cultural and recreational recreational facilities. The agreement serves to monitor impacts to the community community such as recreation, libraries, and so on. Each and every supplementary supplementary agreement executed must be supported with statistical evidence such as feasibility studies and other support data. During our deliberations, deliberations, the data we used for libraries includes 13 percent increased circulation of volumes, area population served, current costs and staffing. staffing. Considerable effort is made to refine all aspects of the written agreement in order to justify the drawing down of Impact funds. Let me say, in closing, Ontario Ontario Hydro are .good corporate corporate citizens. The senior of- ficals are meticulous in their communications and deliberations with the Town of Newcastle. In every instance instance the substantiation of the use of IMPACT monies is paramount in all of our deliberations. Respeotfully,' (Mrs.) Marie Hubbard Chairman, Hydro Liaison Committee, Church Women, read the Treasurer's report of the U.C.W. in the absçnce of Mrs. R. Elliott. Mrs. Ron Frank, superintendent, gave the Sunday School report. Mr. Keith Wood gave a summary of all the many events that took place each Sunday and throughout the year. These reports were satisfactory and plans were made concerning the heating of pipes and the pointing of the foundation and other repairs. Ventillating fans and other improvements were discussed. A hearty invitation was extended to our minister to continue with us. The various officials will continue in the same office for the coming year. One new name has been added to the Board of Stewards that of Mr. Don Peddar. Mrs. Ursula Smuk has had her sister and five year old daughter from Australia visiting her. The blizzard of '92 as told by Sharon Metz in her book The Pioneers. This book may be purchased for $8.00 from Box 110, Saskatoon, Sask, S7K 3K1. It had been a relatively mild winter, so the sudden show storm in March of 1892 was a surprise to Mrs. -Ramage and her neighbour Abraham Evans. Mrs. Ramage had arrived in- the Moosomin area onjy two years before with her husband and two sons. She had ■ helped find a local branch of the Salvation Army, Army, and the day of the storm, she had been in town for a meeting. She accepted a lift home from Mr. Evans in his wagon and ? they were plodding along when, thà wind came up and the snow began to fall. Evans urged the mules on but the rapidly falling snow soon began to pile up on the wheels ' until they could no longer turn. Taking the box off the Wagon Evans and Mrs. Ramage huddled under it for the night. The next morning they resumed their old journey. Abraham was warmly dressed dressed but Mrs. Ramage clad in light spring fashion soon became cold and wet. The storip continued unabated and so thick they couldn't see the mules pulling the wagon. Finally, Abraham unhitched the team and desperately tried to brer ' trail through the snow foV;V; woman to follow. Exhausted and numb with cold Mrs. Ramage struggled on, but on the third day she told Abraham to leave and go for help. For seven more days Evans stumbled lost through the storm blinded by the white glare and weak from hunger. At night the exhausted man rested by squatting on his toes so that he would wake up if he fell over. The evening of the eighth day Mr. Bell of Camduff was alerted by his dog barking and found Abraham crawling through the snow. He had wandered 75 miles from home. Abraham had to have both feet and part of his nose amputated amputated as a result of his ordeal. But he was luckier than Mrs. Ramage. Her body was found by a search party a month later.
