Forrester. Editor » Many questions being asked The proposed Reid/Reyneart Estate residential development development along with rumored other proposals for the Oak Ridge Moraine area north of Orono has been an item of great debate over the past couple of months. While Reid/Reyneart point to reporting agencies .including .including the Ministry of the Environment having no objections to their proposal others have begged to differ citing a greater concern concern needed for the environment. Opponents of the proposal also have expressed a disappointment in that the planning report did not make mention or deal with their concerns. The pending Ministry of the Environment meeting, September 7th, to review the planning and approval process may bring a clearer course of action on the dealing with development development applications as it may relate to the environment. Estate residentail development has often been a matter of brief debate at Town council. It has been noted that the Town of Newcastle does exceed all other muncipalities in the Region as to development of Estate Residential. It has often been stated that something had to be done to get a handle on this .surge of development in. the Town but unfortunately nothing ever happens happens or is placed on the books as a policy or even as a guideline. The issue continues and with no control as to number. Residential development has bolted ahead in Newcastle over the past few years to the extent that the ratio of taxable assessment between commercial/industrial and residential has deteriorated. In 1985 this ratio was 20 percent commercial/in- dustriabto 80 percent residential. Three years later, 1988, the ration ration is 16 percent commercial/industrial to 84 percent residential. residential. The Town of Whitby for 1988 has a ratio of 26 percent commercial/industrial commercial/industrial compared to 74 percent residential. » The drop in the ratio between the two assessment groups does not bode well for Newcastle and many would suggest it is a course for higher residential taxation. It was felt at one time that such a ration should be in the area of 40 percent compared with 60 percent. More than likely an ideal situation. But Newcastle is far from the ideal. There is a need for more industry which council is well aware of and which council sçes as a need in Newcastle. But you can't put the chickens in one door and let them out the other if you want to build up the flock and that is what is happening in Newcastle. Newcastle may now grow in industrial assessment but the benefits may be lost through a larger growth in residential residential development. On the cutting edge We all sit on the cutting edge of new technology especially especially in communications and distance is no object. This week we carry a story from the local Venturers who are at a rally in Scotland. The article was faxed to Lycett's law office from Scotland and although the Venturers only left Monday Monday afternoon from Malton airport they were able to spend a couple of days at camp, make friends and, still have a message back to Orono by Friday. The day will soon come that workers can remain at home with a fax machine and shuffle paper as they do at the office. No one will care about the horrendous traffic jams that even exist, today to get'to the office. It may be somewhat lonely at the coffee coffee breaks with all one's friends also at home by themselves. Its just obe more thing to make today interesting and at times challenging. Kendal News . . .

That Took Courage - Andrew I will not soon forget that little home nestled among the bluffs of poplar on the prairies of central Saskatchewan. I came upon it as ! rode my bicycle along the dusty trail of a June day in 1937. From the outside the house looked poor, typical of many prairie homes in those days. But inside I met a welcome and a quality of hospitality hospitality which still thrills me to recall. In two summers on that field as a student missionary I had many meals in that home. The fare was always simple. There was plenty of homemade bread. There were different different vegetables from the garden. There could be eggs or more often a jar of canned beef or chicken from the cellar produced to feed the unexpected quest. And there always seemed to be a good supply of saskatoons the prairies blueberries. But the food good as it was, was always secondary. The spirit of the home, the welcome for the guest would have made dry crusts eat like cake, > When.I came to know this family and particularly the head of the house, I found my courage renewed by his. Times were tough. For too many summers the fields had not given back their seed. Hard work and no return, were typical of those times. That summer the plight of the farmer was further aggravated by a disease ' among the horses encephalomylitis 1 think they called it. Andrew had veterinary training in Scotland. The one hope in those months for the life of a whole string Volunteers DEATH HOOEY, Kathleen - At her residence in Port Hope on Monday, July 31st, 1989 in her 83rd year, Kathleen, beloved wife of the late Harold Hooey, dear mother of Wilda Middleton and William, both of Orono and Earl of Pontypool.

This the provincial government made available but did not administer Andrew's services, always in demand, were that summer summer the one ray of hope in a vast area. He no longer drove a car, as his services were given without fee, and he had no money for gasoline. The farmers needing him had to supply the transportation. But by night and by day he was riding across the prairies trails. I heard no complaint. He was only grateful that he had this training and that he was of service service to his fellow man in his hour of need. Remember to water the birds in this dry weather. Living in a predominantly Catholic community has not deterred deterred the Methodist minister from putting forth a great effort as the Scoutmaster of our young troop. One day I came in on the middle of a meeting and discovered they were working on first aid. The' minister was holding one of the Scouts in his arms and was saying. "Okay, we've removed the object from his throat, but he's still not breathing. What do we do?" No reply. Same question again. Not a sound. When he pleadingly asked for the third time, there came a small voice. "Call a priest?" Bob Cushman From I Remember the One-room School by Myrtle Fair All I remember about the Convention Convention is that the place where it was held, by a small lake was gloriously beautiful in the fall. We were billeted in homes at night and I shared a downstairs bedroom with an older teacher. We talked school for awhile and then rested well. Not so. the three upstairs. They came down in the morning covered with red welts. Bed bugs. We two had been fortunate., On April Fool's Day I answered the phone. A soft voice said, "Is that Mr. H " I answered that that was my name, ' The voice said, "Please .hold the line a minute.' I held! The next thing 1 heard was, 'You can hang up now. April Fool!' We had a picnic the last afternoon. afternoon. In the morning I asked the children to write a paragraph about the last day of school. The one I remember said, "The picnic was held in the rain." It was. But we had fun. Grownups and kids played games in the school during the downpour. When it cleared we had a ball game and races outside. Supper Supper at last and a shortage of plates. Edna and 1 shared one. I had to stir the lemonade irfa 20-inch pail with a 12 inch spoon. My hands were clean enough, they told me, or would be when the sugar was dissolved. Then the good byes, Edna cried. Emily kissed me. Mr. G. took me to the train ' station and arranged for me to stay at a hone near by until the 2 a.m. train came. I recalled that on my Easter trip home, he had stopped the cutter, lifted a sap pail from a maple tree and handed it to me. 'Taste this,' he said. I thought of my first meal with the G's and joining him with my knife in the corn syrup pail - a complete complete circle from com syrup to maple*sap!
