Editor , ' | H / Riding Metro's Coat Tail In the matter of garbage disposal and the development of a landfill site the Region of Durham is definitely riding the coat tail of Metro and as such is as much the culprit of a possible landfill in the Town of Newcastle as is Metro. Durham has taken no action, other than lip service, to go it alone and is not likely to do so. Durham will never remove itself from the Metro coat tail and not doing so will have to be supportive of an . ultimate landfill in the Region with eyes now turned to the Town of Newcastle. It is interesting that Durham has never prepared itself financially financially for the day landfill would be needed. A token $300,000 has been set aside but just how far would this go in the development of a landfill site. Not only do they not have the finances but they also do i not now have the time. If a new landfill is needed in 1990 the time is very short and likely the bid will be made to dispense with environmental environmental hearings. We can almost hear Metro pleading with the province stating that they are in an impossible situation and time is not available to go through hearings. It's the way the system has been working as t the environment. It could safely be said that Durham has been taken in hook, line and sinker, when the major lakefront municipalities accepted a $28.00 a tonne rebate on tipping at Metro's Brook West site. Its interesting interesting that Durham was considering to develop their own landfill when Metro suggested the $28.00 rebate. The regional budget was held up until a final decision on the rebate was made by Metro and when that happened the issue of a Durham landfill has had no further further momentum. Its not likely a vote of Durham council could generate.a positive vote to leave the coat tail of Metro. It's surprising that landfill costs could rise from $18.00 a tonne to $50.00 a ton especially for a public undertaking on a nonprofit nonprofit basis. It's equally surprising when Metro states it costs $50.00 a tonne to operate their landfill site and then turn around and give Oshawa, and other lakefront communities a $28.00 rebate. It is a little little suspicious and no doubt is the bait that has Durham hooked. There are other interesting aspects of the landfill issue, one being the lakefront locations as possible sites'. It just so happens that rail service runs through all such sites and as one recalls Metro some years ago considered railing garbage to a site, in south Hope Township. It could still be a feature for south of 401 locations and Metro is seeking permission to carry out tests for such a site at Morgan Corners road in the Town of Newcastle. Don't place all the blame on Metro, Durham is as much of the problem and has actually done nothing on their own to solve their own problem. It's the volunteers that count We couldn't help realize, once more, when attending the recent recent Swim-up ceremonies that it is the volunteers who stimulate the activities of a community and provide the base for wholesomeness. Certainly it was true of the Beaver, Cub and Scout organizations organizations which depend on volunteers for the weekly meetings and as well volunteers for the group association. It's a concerted effort with many involved and this is true in all facets of the community. We mention here only the Scout organization but there are many such orgnizations playing their part to make this a much better community community for the family unit. ' , Just look around and see the sporting activities and the many that are behind the scenes in planning and organization. It is the volunteer that we owe so much for what this community stand for and to them we should take time to say "Thank You". Church in the morning so we are hoping for a full church. Glad to have another new couple worshipping worshipping with us from a new home east of Kendal. Several new homes are being being built around the village.

Ten KENDAL NEWS "I suspect quite a few fathers wjjl recognize themselves in the poem" below.." Says Francis Gay. He'd always had a longing, Right from the very start, To have a little baby son, 'Twas deep within his heart! For then he'd have a splendid pal, His little boy would grow, They'd go to football matches, They would swim and fis'h and row... But when the nurse came in the room, With leisured, gentle pace, And called to him, "You've got a girl!" His heart began to race. He saw the bundle in her arms. He felt a surge of joy, And looking at his daughter, He forgot about the boy! by Miriam Eker Sunday was a perfect June day some of our men were at home culling culling hay and others after attending 'Heritage Sunday' just had to go on Next Sunday the ladies took in tlf/ s annuid "'P- Recently a f iible sales,nan in Egypt recounted' an mcidenl when he offered Bibi cs a group of young Moslems- One of them accepted accepted a copy, glanced at it briefly, then threw it oil the ground and struck the salesman in the face. The salesman simply picked up the Bible and walked away. A few days later, he went towards another group, not realizing that the man who had hit him was among them. The man now rose to greet the salesman saying, "I'm sorry I struck and insulted you. I did so because I'd heard that your Book taught that if a Christian was struck on one cheek, he would turn the other towards the attacker. I wanted to see if you would act according to this teaching. Now I, want the Book in which such teaching is given." When Ralph was teaching Sunday Sunday School one of the smaller boys was reading a Buck Rogers comic book. "Do you believe a man can fly?" asked Ralph. "Oh yes." "And do you think a man Could have a chest as large as that man's?" "Sure," replied the boy in all innocence, "My mother has one." A very fine article on our 'Heritage Sunday' at Kendal Church was written in the Port Hope Evening Guide June 10th by Peggy Foster. Her concluding remarks were: "As a former member who was «raised at Kendal United Church I felt Very proud to be part of the tradition and heritage of a church that continues to evolve with the times yet retains its sense of purpose and link with the past." The Kendal Women's Institute met at the home of Mrs. Eleanor Terrill on June 9th for a pot luck dinner, with 16 members and two visitors present.

The, Secretary Mrs. Janet Dykeman read the minutes and gave the financial report. The names of those planning to attend the Couroux Cottage in July were taken. Then Miss Catherine Stewart gave her topic, "The Newcastle Fish Hatchery." Did you know that Wilmot Creek was the site of the first fish hatchery in North America? Wilmot Creek is just west of the Village of Newcastle. It is named after Samuel Street Wilmot who owned 400 acres. One of his three sons also named Samuel inherited the property. As early as 1860 he was aware of the decreasing number of salmon. This was due to the timber having been cut off permitting permitting silt to cover the gravel beds. Samuel Wilmot was determined that the salmon should not be allowed to disappear from Ontario waters. With an intimate knowledge of the spawning behaviour of the salmon, frequenting the stream, which flowed within sight of his farm house, Wilmot was well prepared to begin his experiments on the artificial propagation of the species. In the basement of his home he constructed a wooden trough through which he piped water from a nearby spring attempting attempting to simulate natural stream conditions. conditions. In the first year he did not attempt to fertilize the salmon eggs artificially but instead, secured a small supply of eggs from'the gravel spawning area of Wilmot Creek, where they had been laid by the female fish, earlier in the autumn. To his surprise he found that only about five percent of the eggs were fertile. This gross inefficiency of nature seems to have shocked Wilmot but he was able to hatch some of them during the winter. In the autumn of the following year, Wilmot again look naturally spawned eggs from the stream and also some mature adult salmon.' After stripping eggs from the female into a pail, he added the milt squeezed from the males and this way fertilized the eggs. Thé two groups of eggs were placed in separate troughs in Wilmot's basement. basement. Again only about five percent of the naturally spawned eggs were fertile but, to Wilmot's delight, about 75 percent of the artificially fertilized eggs hatched. Wilmot was now certain that fish culture could preserve his beloved salmon population. In his first year of operation he used only 15 mature salmon. By 1866 however, Wilmot had hatched nearly 15,000 salmon fry. With this success Wilmot was able to elicit government aid and the Newcastle Hatchery was in business. It enjoyed enjoyed more than 50 years of success arid produced more than 150 million fish of a variety of species. The hatchery closed in 1914. This year the Ministry of Natural Resources is commencing a ten year experiment. Thousands of Atlantic Salmon will.be re-introd.uced to Lake Ontario by way of two historic spawning grounds, the Credit River, in Cheltenham, and DEDICATION SERVICE In memory of ,Vi Morton Irene, Murray Mary Morris Sunday, June 19 10:00 a.m. ST.
