Engagement KONZELMANN - SUD Ernie and Irene Konzelmann of Orono are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter Monika to Rahesh Sud, son of Mohan and Devi Sud of Mississauga. Wedding to take place in Toronto on June 3, 1989. It's back to work After a week off the job it is difficult difficult to get the old bones into drit-e and the grey matter circulating. There is one hope however. The price of cigarettes has made a major jump and it is an excellent time to throw the habit. Donna makes the claiih the body will work better and the mind will be more active. Before we go too far in this article article we hope that everyone has had a wonderful holiday season and we wish you all the best for 1989. Certainly the week was one to enjoy enjoy with family and friends through both Christmas and the New Years. It was certainly our case and some old memories did return. One I did enjoy was the fact that three-year old grandson Billy spent all day on Christmas playing with the boxes that had contained fiis present!?. I think we can'all recall such instances. I always liked to see the kids pull open the bottom drawer on the kitchen stove to scatter scatter the pots and pans about to play with. What was going through their minds was a mystery as was Billy's on Christmas day. It appears that young minds have not changed and 1 would think it is a creative endeavour of some form or another. Well I'm all fitted out with a new wardrobe and am somewhat proud that 1 went into the holiday season registering 198 on the scales arid on Tuesday morning registered the same 1-98. It wasn't that I didn't have lots to eat, nor was it that 1 did a lot of exercising. It just so hap pened that way. One New Year's resolution made over the past week-end was to take more time for bird trips out of the immediate area this coming year. I had 1 aid-off the birds over the past year to a great degree and now feel it is time to expand some in the field. This brings up a trip' this month to the Petroglyphs, north of Lakefield, for the possible sighting of eagles, gray jays and other northern northern winter birds. I have also made application for a Federation trip to Amherst Island off Kingston in Lake Ontario. The trip is supposed to bring opportunities for hawks and owls that winter on the island during the winter. It is noted in the literature that the numbers of moles and mice in the area make for a good winter habitate. May we repeat it once more, a happy healthy 1989.

The 40-unit development is being sponsored by Oshawa YWCA.

"I am very pleased that we are able to assist battered women in • Oshawa," he added. Ms. Hosek said: "The 40 units in Oshawa are among the almost 7,000 non-profit units we are committing across Ontario in 1989.

According to Mike Roche, Chairperson of the Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle Regional Science and Computer Fair Committee, four projects from this area will be entered in the national national competition compared to two projects last year. The' reason, said Roche, is the Fair has been upgraded to a Class B. "Last year was a trial period. It was the year we broke away from the Peterborough Fair and established our own. Now, in our second year, our status has been upgraded by the national committee to that of a full-fledged Class B fair." Fiona White, past Chairperson of the Fair, said there has been a growing growing interest in this area in the fair, one of the reasons the committee decided to establish their own fair. That interest was evident last year when over 300 projects were entered, compared to 200 in the 1987 fair, she said. The competition is open to all students in this area', including students with The Northumberland and Newcastle Bodrd of Education, students with the separate school system, and students attending - private schools. cant addition to the more than 13,500 units we committed since 1986." The $4 million capital cost of the development is being met with a 35 year mortgage loan from Canada Life Mortgage Services. The loan is insured under the National Housing Act by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The total annual operating subsidy subsidy Tor the 40 unit project is estimated at more than $633,000. It is expected that 32 of the units will be allocated to needy households. Subsidies on these units will be shared by the governments governments of Canada and Ontario on a 60:40 basis. The province will provide subsidies subsidies for four units, expected to be made available with rents based on household incomes. The remaining four units are expected to be made available at the market rental rate, with amounts based initially on rents of comparable accommodation accommodation in the community. Thank you for 1988 and for sharing sharing your tidbits, events and little scoops with everybody via this column. column. Happy New Year all year long to you and yours. White reported that* the two students who "placed last year at , the regional Science Fair didn't win at the Canada-wide Fair, but their projects were of comparable quality to what was being exhibited." Attending Attending the Canada-wide Fair is "a real chance of a lifetime," she said. "Students get to meet other students from across Canada and find out more, not just about science, but about thei| country," she said. "It's another way of reinforcing reinforcing a student's interest in science," she added. The regional fair will be held this year at East Northumberland Secondary School, in Brighton, on April 15, 1989. "It is the fair's policy to rotate the site to promote science fair activities," said Roche.
