-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, July 9, 1986 More than somewhat impressed One could not help but be impressed with the Orono Girl Guide camp on the Allen farm north of the Village where the local Guides will spend a week under canvas and as well lake a couple of day trips. First of all you have to be impressed, with the neatness of the camp and even with our evening visit the camp was a beehive of activity with all playing their part in the schedule of events. There was a cheerful face no matter where you turned. The setting in the rolling hills and partial meadow-forest cover is as well attractive and must play its part in'the success of the camp. But this does not all happen by itself and much must be attributed to the leadership of Pam Allen and her group of leaders and helping mothers who really put the show on thfe road through what has to be sound planning and work on their part. The Guiding organization and this community owes a lot to such a program arid undertaken on behalf of others and all are to be congratulated. May the sun shine on this group for the remainder remainder of the week for a job undertaken with excellence. excellence. Going Full Circle •It would appéar the Town of Newcastle council is on a trip of full circle as to policy governing what they call Nodes and Clusters. The existing policy was further diluted on Monday when council members recommended recommended to council through the General Purpose committee that such Nodes and Clusters would be allowed, all other conditions being met, if the ajacent agricultural lapd is other than being used for a.livestock operation. Council has battled the Node and Cluster policy for a number of years and at time has been in conflict with the Region of Durham policy. A fofmer council of the Town of Newcastle did set policy in which additions to the Nodes and Cluster would not be allowed if adjacent adjacent to an active farm operation. Under the present proposal proposal it would only be if adjacent to land used in a livestock operation. • The point to be made in the new policy is that a livestock operation could arise after the approval of additions additions to a Node or Cluster and in fact other agricultural operations could be as offensive to residents as a livestock operation. Terry Edwards, planning director, director, mentions orchard spray drift and the spreading of manure as offensive as a livestock operation. Also of concern côuld be consistant policy which year after year is fair to everyone rather than a policy than changes with the whim of council. This has been the case with the Town of Newcastle over Nodes and Clusters and is instrumental in the most recent change of policy. * Second Class Mall Registration Number 000368 Published Every Wednesday ai the-fflceo'Puhllcatlon -- - - Main Street, Orono .:2Bo¥:3EKbrHitërLE<Ulôr' ::: Burning by-law untouched (Continued from page 1) He also noted the recommendations recommendations would make the people mote responsible for burning and would lift any liability from the town.

Winters 1 Town of Newcastle 40 Temperance St. Bowmanville, Ont. , L1C 3A6 Dear Mayor: Further to our discussion, I would like to officially request that your staff investigate the situation involving the Burger King and Esso Station at Hwy 401. When the Burger King was opened, the then President of Imperial Oil and the represent tative from Burger King and I allowance for burning in Bowmanville while# the burning of leaves is permitted in Wards three and one if carried out on private property. As to the matter of burning leaves the Fire Chief stated that the Environment Protection Act does not allow for the burning of leaves and that such burning of leaves is one pf the greatest producer of contaminants. Council members voted "against any change and maintain maintain their existing system as to open air burning in the municipality. Editor discussed the possibilities of making the municipal road that runs north of the Esso Station more accessible to local residents.' The accessability would involve the permission of people using the Burger King facilities of parking in an enclosed area at thé end of the municipal road. Although it would be contrary to ministry policy of allowing such an access access in,a service station, because of these particular circumstances, circumstances, I had positively got feedback of allowing this kind ref set-up. Therefore, could your staff Kendal News The Better Way Do you think you missed a step In your walk of yesterday? Do you think you failed to score In the game you had to play? Did you fail to speak a word That would cheer a troubled soul? Did you miss the chance to smile When 'twould make a bruised heart whole? Let it make you strive the harder In the work the morrow brings, Just to make your fellows brighter With the song your own heart sings. Let it make your hand more eager To uplift the man who falls Let your heart o'erflow with courage For the fainting one who calls. Do not let the former failure Check the loving help today Rather let it urge you onward To a kinder, gentler way. This is holiday month so Kendal church is closed. Next Sunday July 13th there will be service in Kirby at 10 a.m. On July 27 there will be an outdoor service at 11 a.m. at the home of Morley Robinson. The country looks very beautiful due to the abundant rain. The corn looks so very green when I look north or west. Then when I look south or east the big fields of fall wheat are starting to turn yellow. The heads are pointing up when they turn down in ten days it will be ready to harvest. Many farmers lost hay because of the rains. However the oldtimers always said, "Only cut one half the field and if you lost it with heavy rain the other half would be twice as thick and by that time likely the weather would be dry to draw it into the barn. The rains have helped the fall wheat and gardens. In Dublin recently they had a plebiscite on divorce. A reporter asked an old lady how he should vote. She replied, "Vote "No"" of course to vote "Yes" you would be like a turkéy voting for Christmas. Mrs. A. Cathcart and Mrs. F. Cathcart attended the Golden Wedding Wedding Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Fowler held in the Kinsmen Community Centre, Oshawa on Sunday afternoon July 6th. Earl's grandmother was an Elliott a sister of Mrs. Jas. Tamblyn, Mrs. Fred Brimacombe and Mr. Wes Elliott. His mother taught Kendal School in 1910 teaching "Pete" Mercer, Laverne Hoy, Arthur Thompson and about forty others. Do you remember the terrific heat wave of July 7th 1936 exactly fifty years ago today as I write this? They could fry an egg on the pavement pavement in Toronto and many people died as a result of the heat. Hundreds Hundreds were sleeping out on the lawns. I Married The Klondike (cont) The train jogged on, past the thin finger of Lake Bennett ringed by a circle of mile-high peaks reflected in its mirror surface, through stubby forests carpeted with crimson fire weed, past lakes, rivers, canyons and rapids, until in late afternoon we reached Whitehorse, in the wide investigate the possibility of 1) Repairing the road to make it more accessible 2) Whether indeed the dirt road, as it is, is a municipal road 3) Whether the residents along the municipal road would object. object. Hoping to hear from you. Yours sincerely, « V ' Sam L. Cureatz valley, at the head of navigation on the headwaters' of the Yukon. Again the platform swarmed with people, mostly men, all wanting to be introduced. Among the men were sprinkled a few fashionably' dressed women, a policeman or two in scarlet, and dozens upon dozens of husky dogs. Those ubiquitous dogs! 1 was seldom to be out of sight or sound of them for twenty- five years. We put up at the White Pass Hotel across from tlje railway station. station. We entered à large lobby dominated by an enormous steel- iron stove, and ringed with chairs occupied by dejected looking men, who eyed us with interest. Between each pair of chairs and slightly to the front stood an enamel spittoon. We registered in an enormous book and Miss Hamtorf and I decided to share a room, which also, it developed, meant sharing-a bed. No room had a bath. No room had a key. Indeed, I seldom saw a key in the Yukon. Hotel rooms, stores, private houses all stayed open; thanks to the redcoats there was little little çrime. That night we had a gay dinner in the hotel dining room. The menu was almost identical with lunch- moQsemeat, fresh blueberry pie, pork and beans. The price was still a dollar. "Table-d'hotc or a la carte?" I asked seriously when the Waitress presented the menu. The entire room rocked with laughter. "Starter?" the waitress asked "No, thanks," I said, thinking it some new kind of fish. It was apparent that I didn't yet speak the language. Strangers kept coming over to my table to be introduced. Everybody seemed to know who we were our full names, our destination, birthplace, birthplace, occupation and background. This-startled me, but I soon learned that a mysterious moccasin moccasin telegraph ran through the country I, could .-never explain it, though I always suspected that the telegraph operators th'emselves had something to do with it, for they were lonely men with little to do most of the time except to gossip on the wires. Bui it w^is. a fact that , there were jew secrets in the Yukon. Once in Dawson a local wag coupled coupled the name of a respectable Dawson woman with those of some leading prostitutes in chalk on a wa.ll. The intelligence reached Whitehorse, four hundred miles away, within an hour, long before the defamed woman herself knew about it. A man from the Yukon could meet another man from the Yukon in Rome, Italy, arfd make some remark and within days, it seemed that remark would be relayed north. A few days after I reached Dawson I sent a report of my trip back to the Toronto Globe and tried to preserve anonymity by using a pseudonym. It was useless. Before I had seen my report in the paper my phone was ringing and people were commenting on it. As we ate dinner a waiter came in with a tray of what he called "ice- worm cocktails" to the intense annoyance annoyance of the teetotalling Miss Lawson. Sure enough, the white worms which we were told were considered a prime delicacy, could Be seen atThe bottom ofeacITglass. They turned out, of course to be spaghetti. This hoary joke was still being used on tourists and newcomers when I quit the Yukon for good. Robert Service, whose Songs of a Sourdough had begun to excite in- . terest outside, was a clerk in the local Bank of Commerce and we asked several people about him. Nobody seemed greatly impressed by his initial success and although his books were on sale in the stationer's stationer's few Whitehorse people had bothered to read them. Miss Hamtorf Hamtorf and I made two breathless journeys to the bank to see him, but on neither occasion was he there. $i. Saviour's Anglican Church MILL STREET ORONO, ONTARIO Rev.
