2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, August 10. 1983' A GÔOD PROGRAM The Town of Newcastle is certainly seeing the results of one federal-provincial make-work program that is having a positive effect in the municipality. The Town earlier this year did make application application for and received approval of the program weith labour funded by both the federal and provincial governments. At this point thç program effects has filtered down to Orono and we see much improvement in such as the Lawrence Cemetery to the east of the Village and at the Orono Town Hall and the Orono Armouries building where Orono Showcase Cooperative Cooperative is to hold forth with a retail outlet for local crafts and art persons. Judging from the work in Orono it is quite likely that such would not have been down under normal circumstances nor would it have been in other cases within the Town of Newcastle. The continuation continuation of drab premises would have likely continued. Not so due to the federal-provincial program. Everyone with the local board of the Orono Town Hall are more than pleased with the overall appearance* appearance* of the Orono Hall and on talking with members of the Co-operative the case is the same. The foreman on the job states all he has come in contact contact with are more than pleased with the refurbished appearance of their buildings, something that had looked a long way off. Not only has this community benefited from the program but it has also given employment for five men for a period from mid April to the first part of November and this in itself makes the progrm a worthy one. Its an ill wind that blows no one some good. This is not the case here. RECEIVES CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION Earlier this year Mac and Norma Ransberry of the Enterprise area noted a hawk around their barn and later 'found the bird in their garage. On catching the hawk they found it was banded containing a number which number they were able to direct to the proper authorities. Just recently they received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Professional Bird Banders of North America for their part in recording the band and the presence of the bird. The hawk turned out to be a female Cooper Hawk bandeS in October of 1980 at an age of less than one year. The hawk had been banded at St. Thomas, Ontario. „ CALLING FOR PARTICIPANTS The Durham Central Agricultural Society are again holding their annual Queen of the Fair competiton at the Orono Fair on Thursday evening, September 8th on the Orono Arena stage.

We just had rain twice in the month of July. The first Sunday and the last Sunday. Each thunderstorm ended three weeks of drought and saved the corn. It was a discouraging summer for young gardeners. First there was the wet cold spring. Our garden had to be cultivated a second time. Then on June 3rd I was able to set out my tomatoes before a rain, good. On June 7th they were frozen and the peppers peppers also. The potatoes were all planted by the middle of June, a month later than other years. Now some people people get their potatoes in early and their peas also. The dry weather struck them and the peas dried up. I saw three baskets of potatoes in Port Hope in'July all just the size of golf balls. I thought some lad had had a lot of work growing potatoes for less than $6.00. However strange results sometimes follow the late rains, my late peas yielded abundantly. I picked some this morning and our potatoes are a good size. The com men are hoping for an open fall so the corn will mature before the frost comes. The morning service on July July 31st was to have been an outdoor one . at the home of Mr. Ewart Robinson but due to the heavy rain early in the morning it was held in Shiloh Church.
