2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 25,1986 Second Class Mail Registration Number DOOM , Published Every Wednesday at the off ice of Publication Why not protect River Valleys The Town of Newcastle are to review their policy as to land use in river valleys in conjunction with subdivision subdivision in urban areas. The issue was brought before council a couple of weeks ago by Counc. Ann Cowman when discussion centred around a lot in a proposed subdivision subdivision in the Courtice area which it had been intended to have lifted froth the sub-division and turned over to either the Town or the Conservation Authority. The lot did have some environmental implications. Terry Edward, director of planning, said it had been the intent of the Town in the past to preserve the river valleys in the urban area, but not so in the rural areas where ownership of river valleys abutting development development is not sought. Counc. Cowman spoke of the cost of such, ownership in legal responsibility and enforcement of use. She also said the lands could become a hangout and such use being a nuisance to neighbouring residential areas. We feel there are many benefits in obtaining such lands for public ownership none the least being preservation preservation of environmental sensative lands and the maintaining maintaining of the natural aesthetics of the area. Who wants to live in a concrete jungle and this view has been heard from residents moving into the Courtice area. Some of the avlley lands now developed in the City of Oshawa are a great asset to the city but this required required some forward-thinking policy and the maintaining maintaining of the policy over a period of years, t . The Town of Newcastle has difficulty in maintaining maintaining policy and one would have to feel the loss of the small stream valley in Newcastle yiUage_wilLsomeday be regretted. . : Yes there is a cost but it is a.cost that surely can be borne for future generations. There is no guarantee that private owners of such as the single lot in the proposed proposed sub-division is without its drawbacks. Happenings . . ANNOUNCE WINNERS OF ORONO D.B.I.A.

Flint Sunday, June 22 was a perfect June day with many events scheduled scheduled such as Qrono Cemetery decoration, decoration, the 40th Wedding Celebration of Mary and Mel Jones at Newton- ville etc. The attendance at church was small but the service was most interesting. After the call to worship worship three young men Brad and Chad Switzer along with Rev. B. Ransom sang, as a trio "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms". We were reminded that we are to have our pictures taken in Kendal Thursday and' Friday from 3:30 till 9 according according to your appointment. Then Mrs. Inez Boughen who was the delegate to Cdfl ference from this charge gave, her reporton The Bay of Quinte Confe rence hcld m Perth this year.

Next Sunday is the last Sunday of church services before the minister goes on vacation in July. The outdoor outdoor service with a special speaker will be held July 27 at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Morley Robinson of Shiloh. A few hints to help the June brides. First be sure you have a double double boiler and use it. Then your soup will be hot but not boiled. Boiling toughens the curd of any milk product like cheese. If your hubby is late for a meal the soup will be hot but not burned. Salad dressing made in a double boiler is much smoother never lumpy. Make your porridge the night before turn into a bowl. Then the one up first drops it into the double boiler and goes to the barn to chore perhaps; when he returnes it's ready to serve. Always cook enough rice for two meals. Make half of it into a pudding pudding today, perhaps cooked in the oven. Then tomorrow when you return late put the cooked rice into the double boiler make another pudding. Make two pies at one time, same work, same heat às a single pie. , Then remember That the glory of life is: To love, not to be loved; to give, not to get; to serve, not to be served. served. (I Married the Klondike) Skagway, when we reached it at the end of the sea journey, was a disappointment. Portal of Romance, the tourist folder had called it, and it certainly had a romantic setting crouched at the base of the snow-covered White Pass mountains at the head of the Lynn Canal a long natural arm of placid green water. But the town itself was black and dreary the roads rutted, the wooden sidewalks down, the empty spaces filled with piles of rubble, the shops and stores blank and boarded up. To this expiring expiring city twenty thousand men or more had made their pilgrammage flung up their hasty shacks and just as hastily pushed on north leaving a handful of ragged, whiskererd miners, who now roamed the streets in coloured shirts and parkas. ■ Down the gangplank and into this ghost town we came in our white shirt-waists and long tailored skirts with our sailor hate pferched primly on our high pompadours. A neat gentle-manly man named Hamilton rushed up to help pie with my bags. We had become friendly on the 1 boat and the others had scented a romance. Mr. Hamilton was a telegrapher on the Yukon • river - A quiet studious man of. about thirty who wore a brown twçed cap and never smoked but'always carried a copy of Mary Baker Eddy's Science and Hclath with Key to the Scriptures' about with him.. He said her faith had been, a "wonderful help" to him,but didn't specify How. He was highly thought of by. Miss Lawsen, the elderly nurse with the W.C.T.U. leanings. "Not at all like the wild young men one hears about in the North." She kept saying. Now as we walked down the long warf on the way to lunch at the Golden North Hotel he asked if he might show me the White horse Rapids when we arrived at the head of the Yukon River the following day. I accepted though I had been brought up never to accept dates with young men with whose backgrounds one wasn't fully familiar. Shortly after this we boarded a little narrow-gauged train and began to zigzag slowly up the twenty-nine hundred feet of the famous White Pass over which so many gold seekers had gone on foot a few years before. Beside the track there ran a thin little path, still visible, visible, worn by the plodding feet of thousands of pioneers. Below us was the dizzy drop of Dead Horse Gulch where three thousand pack- animals had perished in the summer of 1897. As we climbed high into the mountains and the snows, with three engines pulling us and another pushing from behind,; it was easy to understand why this strange little railway, built at frightful expense, had been fully paid for through freight charges long before it was completed. "Look girls!" said Miss Burkholder, the pretty nurSe, as we reached the international border on the summit. "There's a mountie!" The Mountie saluted gravely, grinned, then passed'out of sight. "Cheer up," said Miss Hamtorf- drily. There's a whole barracks full in Dawson." (continued to Dawson) Remember not to leave your keys in the car. Mr. Roy Berry went out on June 14 to find his second run about car missing and a motorized bicycle left in exchange. You'll see the rest of the story in the police report. Hqwever its a long drive to Nipissing to bring back the stolen vehicle. The police tell you where it is but you must gô after it. There may be others around with a desire to .visit Expo in your car. The: members of Kendal United Church Women took their annual outing to have dinner at Port Hope's Legion Hall. The food was very fine but the very loud music spoiled the occasion for me! I could not hear when a question was asked by someone across the table for the bang-bang of the amplifier. Why does it have to be,turned so loud. When I was in the R.Ç.A.F. we used used to go out to dinner and a lovely' orchestra of violins, piccolo, flutes and other instruments would play music of "The Vienna Woods" etc. "The Pine's' Orchestra came to Kirby Centennial School last week.". So a little girl who visits here told me. I said, "How did you enjoy their music?" "Oh" she replied, "Our teacher said "All those with sensitive ears mày be excused." "I have very sensitive sensitive ears I can not endure loud music it. makes my head throb, so I went outside." How many children with 'sensitive ears didn't go outside? outside? Children don't want to be different. different. I Are we trying to build up a country country of deaf mutes? St. Saviour's Anglican Church MILL STREET ORONO, ONTARIO Rev.
