lO-Orono Weekly Times. Wednesday, March 15, 1989 Newtonville Alive by Peggy Mullan Brothers (1-r) Peter, Ally, Joop and Teun Nijenhuis of Holland with, sister Alice Glasbergen of Newtonville and brother Jake of Brantford. The Glasbergen household in Newtonville had a "Dutch Treat" of the very special kind when four of Mrs. Glasbergen's brothers arrived arrived together from Holland for a week in February to attend a niece's wedding. "Th,e thing we did most was laugh!" recalls Alice. "My family is close. I have a sister and another brother who were unable to make this trip. When I heard four brothers were coming, I just could not believe it! Three of them, Peter, Ally and Joop have never been to Canada before. Now they all are anxious to make a return visit." Alice added that her brothers were surprised at the mild weather we were having..they arrived well prepared for a typical Canadian winter, with their fur hats and heavy overcoats. Thinking of the grand time they all had, Alice remembered the three things her brothers were determined to do during their week in Ontario - see Niagara Falls, visit the C.N. Tower and drive a snowmobile. And they did. Alice chuckles', "Our son Jack took his uncles out on the grass and showed them the ropes, and away they went on the ski-doo!" Newtonville visitors, Peter, Ally, Joop and Teun loved the countryside countryside around our hamlet, and look forward to coming back, perhaps in the gorgeous summertime... summertime...

Years ago', Quebec was sought after as being the provjnce to visit. To gcS to Quebec was to step baçk in time; to feel and see rich Canadian history, culture and architecture. The French language was fascinatingly warm. How lucky we were to have La Belle Province as a fraction of the Dominion of Canada. What happened? 1 think it started about twenty years ago. Through the levels of government, more and more French politicians steadily rose. With this, more and more money and support poured into Quebec. Fact. Now, the majority of Canadians feel they are having the French language jammed down their throats, without so much, as a democratic nod. We are not a bilingual bilingual country! No matter what certain politicians want us to believe. If Quebec wants to be French, let them. That does not constitute the same for the rest of us. I am not prejudice against the French, despite the efforts of the Federal government.. Fifty percent of my own heritage is French Canadian. Canadian. By instituting compulsory bilingualism bilingualism across Canada, in the while - , discriminating against English speaking Canada (the majority majority by far) is yet another example of a wishy-washy government bowing bowing down to let another minority . rule the roost.
