2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, December 7, 1988 New faces . . a new look With the risk of being called a chauvanist we do mention mention the new faces with a new look around the council table as witnessed at the inaugural meeting on Monday night. Over the past couple of terms the women lined up on one side of the tablé with men on the other. It apparently had become a familiar site. Not so oft Monday. Council has taken on a masculine look albeit for one at the council table and the Mayor at the head table. No doubt we will get used to it. The inaugural address by Mayor Hubbard reached most facets of the Town's business and pointed to the growth pattern taking place in the past few years. No doubt there are decisions to make and priorities to set. But council, itself did set a good tone for thé opening of their term and such fairs well for the future but as they say the proof of the pudding is in the eating and time will tell. If there was some division of opinion it had to be, and it was in a friendly nature, in that of residential development. The Mayor suggested that maybe a slow-down should be considered considered and there seemed to be support from Arnot Wotten and definitely fro'm Ken Hooper who wants time to determine the direction council will ake for the Town. Frank Stapleton a pro-developer through his last term has not changed his viewpoint. viewpoint. According to a newspaper report Diane Hamre has asked for a review of the Newtonville Hamlet plan with possible possible revision to help offset the $4 million costs for water in the hamlet. This, of course, would mean greater residential development for the hamlet. There can be no doubt that the Mayor is right in calling calling for greater emphasis in obtaining commercial and industrial industrial development to offset any thought that Newcastle would "become solely a dormatory community. Interesting is the fact that strenghting of the by-law en-, forcement became somewhat of a priority for the Mayor in her address. It is an area in which the Town has been lax over the years and those wishing to circumvent by-laws, regulations regulations and agreement have been taking advantage of this weakness within the Town's administration. Strong enforcement enforcement of the rules and regulation and agreements is certainly an end to treat everyone fairly and this has to be a priority of the governing body. One can only at this time xyish the new council well in their endeavours over the next three years and that Newcastle develops along lines it can afford and with a pleasant social environment as well as a natural environment to be proud of. Oppose Abuse Clinic Some thirty residents of the fifth ' line area east of Orono meet last week expressing their concern over the existance of an Alcohol-Drug Abuse Clinic established a number of weeks ago in the area. The citizens have expressed their concerns over supervision of the ten to twelve residents and the fact that the CSinic was established without their knowledge and the Town's knowledge. It has been pointed^ out that a rezoning of the property would have to be undertaken- prior to establishing such a Clinic. , As the lands have not been rezon- ■ ed the By-law Enforcement officer ( of the Town has called for the closing closing of the Clinic by December 5th. In the meantime L. anti H. Rest Homes. Inc., owners of the Clinic KENDAL NEWS If you want to build a fire use fliction! If you want to develop a conflict use competition!

Some of our regular attenders were not there bu' we had a fine service. The choir sang, "Silent Night," the Story: have applied for re-zoning of the property to be able to continue with the clinic. In speaking with Counc. Diane Hamre she said the Town will seek a court injunction and take legal action action if the Clinic is not^closed as required required by the Town. She said the Town would take this action even though the owner may seek a rezoning rezoning of the lands. In the past the Town has withheld action when a rezoning application had been applied applied for. "Not in this case", said Councillor Hamre. The area residents have made plans to hire a lawyer in, the case that the rezoning application would go ahead. * Clients for the Clinic, it is understood, are referred to the Clinic by Detox centres in Metro Toronto. last Sunday we lit the first Advent Candle the candle of Hope.

Turkey Talk by Bill Bramah No matter how big the tdrkey was you ever had, over any holiday season, it's unlikely it was anywhere near the size of the whoppers they raise at 'Hybrid Turkeys:', in the Kitchener area. Hybrid is a big outfit. They have numerous farms and ship about half a billion little turkeys a year to 44 countries of the world. But, they also have a genetic division, division, where they breed huge turkeys - some of them weighing up to 70 pounds. The worldN record is 78 pounds. Mind you, that's out of a 3,000 gene pool. The 70 pound turkey is still a rare bird. It takes abput a year for them to grow and by that time they're tough and stringy, but processors processors gobble them up for burgers contact the Jamiesons had with neighbours. I liked going to threshings, as most of the help were young, being either hired help or wards of some institution. Also, since the family, whose grain we were threshing, would .supply .supply us with our meals, we were always well fed. As we lived by the lake we young fellows would finish bur day by going into the lake, clothes and all, and having a bath. There were a number of other . wards ' of the Soldiers' Aid on neighbouring farms, and those who were not going to school were supposed supposed to receive wages cyf $15.00 per month. However, the farmers always seemed to find some excuse for not paying wages if their help was ward labour. In my seven years on the Jamieson farm, I was cheated out of all my earnings. If I had had a different social worker, perhaps my interests would have been better cared for. Minister: Rev.

I spent a day with Len Weaden, the Firm's production manager, roaming around a few of the farms they have. They keep the big fellas at a farm near the village of New Dundee. There are about a hundred of them fenced off in a jarge pen. Pound for pound ihey'rc a match for ten year old boy. I discovered that when lyou try to talk turkey, the turkeys flo all the talking. As soon as Len arid I would begin to discuss something, the turkeys would interrupt.' They'd begin to gobble, gobble, in unison at the sound of our vbices. We finally had to go outside to talk. Later on we went to j the companies' companies' offices in Kitchener and 1 saw scientists at work in a laboratory. They were jelling me that in the future the 100 pound turkey is a possibility. If that happened happened you'd have a turkey big enough to feed a family reunion of 180 people. Bill R's story as given in the book Silent Casualties, by William and Jeanette Raynsford. (continued from last | week) I quickly learned that a home boy had very little status in! the community, community, and was only as good as his ability to work. In ! order to guarantee myself a place, I made certain that no one would find fault with my work habits, puirng my first spring and summer; I took on as much responsibility for the farm as I could. Seven acres of potatoes, turnips, white beans and bnions had to be hoed and scuffled With a horse and scuffler, and this became my job. I helped to cut, rake) and stook hay, and to draw the loo^e hay unto the mow, while the two Jamieson men mowed and salted the hay. Haying finished, I jhoed the vegetable garden and jwatered it with drams of water, pumped by hand, and brought to the garden on a stone boat. 1 picked wild strawberries, raspberries; and black currants for the women| to use for jam. Then in August we cut the grain by horse and binder. I stookeQ the sheaves and then we either drew these into the barn or built a large stack outside the barri doprs in preparation for the coming of the threshing machine. Operating this large steam-driven engine with a portable mill and straw blower required required several men.
