My grandparents are Earl and Noreen Nixon of Orono, Dennis and Bertha Mullen of Newcastle and Terry and Sandy Allen of Petawawa. A special thank you to everyone who made my 1st birthday a special one. Letter to the Editor: Dear Mr. Editor, Carol and Barry Lament: I had hoped that last weeks letter to the editor would prove beyond a doubt, which of the two houses in question, belonged to Guy Gamsby. The Lament letter comes as a surprise, surprise, especially so as Carol and Barry have not researched their property property at 5085 Main Street, ■ * There is only one sensible question, question, that referring to the 1861 census. census. Mary, the widow, of Guy, and her family were living in a "1!A storey frame house built in 1847" (page 102, District 5). There is no mention of Main Street. In fact, there is no proof that Mary was still occupying the same» house in which she lived in 1848/1851,-although it seems logical. The Laments use the research of LACAC to state that Gamsby ownership of Lot 13 (5125 Main) was terminated by mid 1850's. Mrs. Dewell states that Lot 13 "appears" to have passed out of Gamsby hands. She uses the word appears because she is not positive. Even if the abôve could be proven this does not dispute the fact Guy had buHt his l 'A storey home in Orono in 1848 (or by 1851). Question four asks, "How could this property have been the site of the manse in the 1850's...?' 1 This question really does not deserve an answer. Who even suggested that it was a manse at this early date. If any thought at all had been put into question one it would never have been asked. The Lament letter asks, "Since our house is older than the others to the south and east of it on this block could not this description description (i.e. faced on streets of the west, south and east), have fit this house before the turn of the century?" century?" How could it? Five of the seven houses to the south and east of the Lamont property, were there in 1897 and at least three of them can be traced to the 1870's. Let's go back again to my last letter letter which Carol and Barry evidently did not read thoroughly. The news item of 1897 was not quoted in full in order to the keep the article at a minimum length. The advertisement advertisement stated, "Dwelling House and Garden for sale in Orono - the well-known late Guy Gamsby homestead with three-quarters of an acre of land, acknowledged to be one of the finest and most productive productive gardens in the county well situated on Main street south and faced on streets to the west, south and east. It, is well fenced and contains contains a fine selection of fruit trees". As 1 said before, John Reid's house was later built to the south and Ed Millson's to the east. How, Carol and Barry, could your property possibly ' fit this description of 1897? Think about it! It is time to end this debate as there really are oiore important things to occupy my time such as doing research on other topics, although sometimes I wonder if it is all iÿprthwhile. » Helen Schmid '.Can you get AI PS from sharing a ncctllc while- doing drugs?

Trustees of the board axed the program which has been serving some 800 elementary elementary students over the past few years. In 1988 the summer school program offered remedial and interest interest courses which had an enrolment enrolment of 732 students from throughout the system. One segment segment of the program was held, in Bowmanville with a reduced enrolment enrolment over the previous year. The program has been funded by the province with the board of education picking up any shortfall. Last year the program costs the board an amount of $11,000. The final blow to the program came through a reduction in financial financial support from the province by some fifty percent for any such ,pro : The Regional council of Durham has put off any decision as to a solution for a landfill site and possible possible co-operation with Metro and other Regional centres for a period of four weeks. Council voted 19 to 9 to table the issue for the four week period last Wednesday. • A staff report suggested that a site in Pickering near the community community of Whitevale could be considered as a site for Durham landfill and possibly as a major site for Metro and community as well. The lands under consideration are owned by the province of Ontario. Staff also recommeded that consideration consideration be given to applying to the federal government for use of federal lands, also in north Pickering. Pickering. Each municipality including Metro are to suggest at least one site for a possible temporary landfill site. The Durham Waste Management Management committee has suggested the Whitevale area site. If the site was chosen it is believ- ject undertaken this year. Board trustees felt the cost was beyond their means and so the program program has been axed. A secondary program was deleted from the summer program two years ago. It was suggested to make the program program pay for itself it would mean a charge from $30.00 to $50.00 per- course. Most trustees felt parents would not support such an increase in fees for the courses. Brian Todd, superintendent who has been in charge of the program said the board is faced with tight budgeting as never before. He said he felt the trustees could not support support a program that was not breaking breaking even. It was suggested that the board could setup a program for remedial courses where needed. The action of the board however, was final and no such program will be offered. ed that Metro would leave Brock West early thus allowing Durham to use the site until 1992 when the new temporary dump would be available. . Metro .and the neighbouring regions hope to hqve a sitê selected for a longterm landfill site chosen and operational by 1996.. Durham is to call a- public meeting in Pickering when area residents may debate the issue of the Whitevale site, and their proposals proposals to handle garbage. ■ Regional chairman' Gary Her- rema said he was ready to make a decision last weelc. He said, however, let's see what the answers are to the problems of garbage disposal at the public meeting. "They'll have thousands of people there to scare us," he said. Durham expects it could earn royalities amounting to $26 million over the next three years if a landfill in Durham was used by Metro and other centres. ranging in ages 5 to 18 did all their speaking parts from memory, they certainly put their eiders to shame, and they take their parts with great dignity, really a treat for all watching. watching.
