Forrester, Editor ■n j „„„.,j Yes, Brian Nicholson, we agree Brian Nicholson an Oshawa council member has taken exception to the fact that Ontario Hydro is planning to hold an Open House to explain their tritium transport scheme to the Darlington Tritium facility. Nicholson rather scoffs at the Open House idea and calls for a Public Meeting over the issue. There is a considerable difference. difference. Proponents of any plan certainly favour the Open House idea rather than a Public Meeting. The Open House scheme is not really new and has been around for almost a decade but is being used more and more of late. It defuses debate and criticism as in most cases its a one on one discussion. We cannot but feel that many good ideas are buried in these one and one discussions. If a contentious problem does not surface there is no need for an answer from the sponsor of the Open House. As a result Open Houses become more and more popular. On the other hand Public Meetings do tend to open the whole subject subject to debate and questioning especially if proponents are first required to outline and sell their proposals at the beginning of the meeting. There are problems even with Public'Meetings due to an uncontrolable party or perdes perdes but hey do open up the issue. The most recent Open House in Orono sponsored by Laidlaw and attended by many in opposition was nothing more than a garden party. It was, to a large degree, a one-on-one discussion, in which only the sponsors could be the winners as far as the general public is concerned. There are always two sides to a question but in an Open House scheme it's difficult to get the other side. Well Brian we hope you win out. Throws out an environmental challenge There has been concerned expressed locally for the environment environment due to sizeable land-banking in the northern area of the former Township of Clarke, But the only message is not only come from this local area. Last week Alan Tonks, chairman of Metro council, threw out a similar concern and challenge to the Metro Toronto Region Conservation Authority. He said the Authority must move quickly to protect environmentally sensitive lands north of Metro. He spoke of exploding development in neighbouring regions and mentioned Durham Region along with York and Peel Regions. Conservationists do have a concern and fear many of the sensitive areas are threatened by unprecedented development. This area, of course, is not immune to unprecedented development as mentioned by Tonks. Tonks refers to the lesson to be learned at the Metro waterfront which has developed with little respect for the environment. The message from Metro could well be taken here and planning take into account the effects of pending development. You either pay now or later.

Another new family attended the service Mr. and Mrs. Gus Maple from the Sixth Line with their three year old lad. Before the Service began we had music played on a Hammered Dulcimer by the versatile Bernie Martin. He had made thé instrument instrument in his workshop. On Wednesday morning one of my Sixth Line neighbours Mrs. Grace Feddema went for a walk after breakfast. As she passed Helen Wood's she noticed smoke coming out the upstairs window of the house to the east..Helen turned in the fire alarm. They had seen the oldest Bell boy, a lad of six get on the school bus. Shortly after Mrs. Bell had driven away with the two younger children a boy of perhaps four and a little girl a couple .of years younger. A couple of firemen donned asbestoes suits and went through the fire to make sure no one was sleeping in the big house. Nothing was saved. The interior was completely gutted. The brick walls and metal roof are still standing. standing. The Bells purchased this beautiful home two years ago. The family are with relatives in Oshawa for the present. Fortunately the firemen were there in time to save the adjacent buildings. There, passed away on February 21st, 1989 Mrs. Edna Dobson. On April the first she would have been 89 years of age. She came to live on the Sixth Line of Clarke, on the farm opposite the Sixth Line School, from Elgin, in Leeds Coun ty north of Kingston, with her fam- ly "The Ruthvens" when she was in the Entrance Class. Then she attended attended Orono Continuation School and Peterborough Normal School graduating in 1920. She taught McLean's School north of Kendal. Then she taught at Dunsford. It was in that area, that she met and mar ried her husband Alfred Dobson. They were living in that area when ' Mary Lou: their only daughter was born. Eventually they returned to the Fifth Line of Clarke to purchase the family farm at Starkville and she has lived there ever since. After the last war when teachers were very scarce she taught Cowanville School till the area closed the one room schools, in the late forties. She led a busy active life and was very original in many ways. The funeral service was held at the Morris Parlours, after which the friends gathered at the Oddfellow's Hall in Orono, where lunch was served by the Shiloh United Church Women. Edna will be missed in the church • and. community. Our sympathy is extended to her daughter Mary Lou, and husband Clifford Fonk, to her granddaughter Tannia, and husband Ross Stutt, to her grandson grandson Peter Fonk and to her brother Mr. and Mrs. Ed Ruthven of Port Hope. Copied from the " book, "I remember the one-room school" by Myrtle Fair. What an ice storm that was one of the worst I've ever seen! The trees were covered with ice, the board fences around the schoolyard were ice-coated and the snow-banks had a hard ice surface that wouldn't break through. Everyone was sliding on the banks and squealing and laughing! Suddenly the children came running running into the school. One of the girls had fallen flat on her face on a hard snow bank and her ,nose was broken. You wouldn't have believed believed it if you hadn't seen it - her nose was crooked on her face. And bleeding! Cold water wouldn.'t stop it. No phone. There was only one thing to do. I left 30 pupils unsupervised unsupervised and she and I crept over the ice, up the road and into her lane. We reached her house just as her people were leaving for. town. Her mother nearly passed oiit when she saw the nose. Happy ending: The nose job was perfect. To see her today today no one would guess vyhat an experience experience she and I had.
