Forrester. Editor NEVER ON SUNDAY The Town of Newcastle on Monday supported a Toronto City council resolution advising the Provincial Government that it does not support the transferring to municipalities the authority to regulate the dosing ot : retail businesses on holidays. The government is being requested requested to retain its authority in this matter. "Let the province do their business", stated Counc. Hubbard. We decide the future now The water problems in Courtice, Newtonville, north of Newcastle Newcastle Village and indeed throughout a great part of this immediate area should be cause enough to seriously consider the planning aspects as to future development in the Town. In all areas water quality is showing to have deteriorated requiring requiring some costly adjustments to provide a safe supply. The Courtice area has had some man-made assistance through lack of qualified foresight and adherance to planning on a long-term sound basis. At a recent, meeting of Town council it was stated by Counc. Harare that the north-west corner of the Orono area, although now strictly agriculture, would hot so remain for much longer. Already there is one application for a rezoning to allow lots being serviced by individual individual wells and septic systems, More are possibly in the making. It is a logical area for residential expansion in Orono. The north-west, area of Orono through the official plan and through zoning calls for the area to be serviced with water and this was setforih some years ago. But recently the Town gave approvalfor a rezoning application allowing individual wells on larger lots. The present present application before council also callsTor individual wells in this particular particular area. Surely it is sho'rt-sighted on the part of the authorities if they continue continue to allow developmentin this particular area without the service of municipal water and through rezoning change what was 1 a long-term strategy which surely must have sound basis. As we understand the Region is reluctant to increase capacity on: the new existing well and note that a pump-relay would be needed to. provide water some 1200 feet to Taunton Road along Main Street. But if this is not done what is the cost sometime in the future. We only need to check around to decide this. The former Orono Police Trustees and to some extent the former Township of Clarke faced a similar problem in the late 1960s when the Orono Estates development was proposed. The Orono water plant was operating near capacity and there was also a need for a pump-relay to boost pressure for the sub-division. This did not deter the provision of municipal water to the development and well it should not have. It is interesting interesting to note that only a few years later the Village turned over a water surplus of some $39,000 to the Region upon regionalization. As to cost and ability to carry, all is relevant between 1968 and 1988 and we know of no one in Orono that lost their home due to cost of water installation, in fact home value multiplied over the investment. It can be noted that the Town is about to embark on the Hamlet Plan for Orono and surely it is at this time that council give a good hard look to the future supporting municipal water for the area and that the Region of Durham do likewise. To do anything else is only putting off until tomorrow even greater problems and shows lack of sound planning on the part of both bodies. KENDAL NEWS . .

There is a delightful scene in the film "The King and I" when Deborha Kerr meets the King's many children - her future pupils - and quickly endears herself to them. She tells them of the ancient adage about teaching - in the end, "By you pupils you'll be taught." 1 thought about this recently when reading a note from a school teacher. She had bèen testing her young charges on General Knowledge. "Tell me, John" she questioned a small boy, "Which month has 28 days?" "Please miss," came the quick reply, "They all have!". After all the lad was right. francis: Gay Since dog sled races have become a popular sport we are likely to meet a team of sled dogs on the sixth line. My neighbour across the line-fence has a team of huskies but the snow has been lacking till this past weekend. The Siberian Husky Club are holding races at Ken t R'eid Conservation Conservation Area just north of Lindsay this January. The trail will run to the igrge peninsula, onto Sturgeon Lake, over a hill and hack to the maintenance road. Spectators can watch the races' from several picnic shekels both near the starting point and near, the peninsula. In Bill Bramah's new book that sells for $9.95 and is entitled "Bill Bramah's Ontario" 1 find the following story: Sled Dogs On one of those lazy, hazy,.hot, sumjner days we went to Tom Soper's farm near C'hesley to see his sled dog's. Clieslev is a pleasant little town south of Owen Sound: Join was Noi i h \ii.ioi a a - : , \ i i . h , : i, 'International < >pen .1 >og Sled Raws in Switzerland' lt- w vcais ago.-1 It 1 " and his dogs have won all soils of trophies. They've appeared in movies. They're well known in sled dog circles. So is Tom's wife, Marian. She not only races, she lakes care ol Tom, l heir three tccnaged daughters, and helps eare for about 50 husky'dogs as well. Her regular job though is handling the books for the family monument business. It was a most unlikely situation. It would have seemed appropriate in winter but it was about 90 in the shade and there was Tom and Marion hitching up eight sled dogs lo go for a workout? The dogs could hardly wait: Jenny Jenny stood well 1 back, 1 joined her. Cameraman Tim Moses set up his equipment near a bend in a wooded land that runs through the farm. Tom hopped on the back of a three-wheeled trainer and they were off. The dogs and Tom seemed to whiz by. They disappeared around the tiend. Jenny and I went over to see the other dogs. Each dog had its own doghouse. They were barking their heads off. They wanted to get into the act. We waited for about half an . hour. Then suddenly the team came tearing towards us. In the distance Tint appeared lugging his camera and tripod. As he came,closer wè could see the big grin on his face. He had the shots he wanted. But the highlight-of the day for trie Was meeting "Yukon" the lead dog. He was eleven at the time and Tom said he was still the strongest and smartest dog. Even more surprising, we learned he was the father of all the other dogs in the team. The team that raced raced both in Switzerland and down the country lane on that sweltering day. The younger dogs looked tired. "Yukon" didn't.
