Forrester, Editor t |i nil wmmS Laidlaw in contention A preliminary report submitted to the Region of Durham by their consultants as to Waste Management in the region has implications that the Laidlaw landfill site is a possibility to take Regional garbage. This report still has not had wide circulation and it has been somewhat difficult to ferret out information on the report. But according to some the implication is thère that Laidlaw is in the running. The Whitevale site is still on tap as well. It is inferred that Laidlaw would be operated as a landfill landfill site for the Region of Durham only. This corner has always felt we have been seeing a lot of smoke screens coming from the Region as to the solution to landfill and that,in fact, Laidlaw was, the solution. It does not matter what local council members feel in the Town of Newcastle. The final decision will be made outside the Town at the Regional level. Further the Region is faced with a big expenditure and if the Halton Region costs mounting to $80 million and still no landfill is an example regional councillors could begin to shutter. This will result in looking to the private sector to solve their problem, Laidlaw. It's too early yet for the Region to show all their cards but a couple of deuces now show with the preliminary report. We would expect the aces will come out before mid 1990. The Laidlaw solution is just too good for the Region to resist. It's a ready-made answer to a problem facing Durham with little resolve to this point. A new kid on the block That new kid is in the form of Public Liaison Committees Committees and their numbers are growing. The Northumberland Waste Management committee has formed one, the Durham Waste Management committee has followed suite as well as the Federal Siting Task Force and the Durham Region Health Council. It's the new trend for thorny issues, gone are the good old days of knock him out, knock him down public meetings. But such meetings have been ruled out for years being of recent recent years replaced with the quiet, sedate, Information Centres. Centres. It's not to say there hasn't been improvements in the approach to those good old days but we do loose a lot of information information from others who would speak out at the public meeting approach. It is apparent, judging' from a news release from the Region of Durham Waste Management committee, that they are looking for a channel to make contact with the public ebbing ebbing criticism and shifting some of this load to a public committee. committee. There is safety and comfort in numbers. We will watch the "new 1 kid in the block" with interest. interest. Kendal News How Did You Play . How did you play when the game was on, , When the odds were great, and hope was gone? When the enemies team with aim so true Was dragging the victory away from you? When strength and speed and .endurance quit, Dishonour keep pace with determined grit? Did you keep faith with the rules of the game? v Did you play up square without fear or shame? 1 Did your smile of cheer, make the team your friend, As you fought it through to the bitter end? Did your self respect rise a notch or two? Are you a bigger man now the game is through? Wm. B. La Porte The children are returning to Sunday School. We'd like to see more parents with their children. More teachers are needed. Could you teach one Sunday a month? The choir sang, "1 know who holds tomorrow." Next Sunday there will be an induction service for the teachers. The sermon was entitled, The fear of being lost and the joy of being found." Andrew Hellebust brought with him a University Student from Peiping to our morning service. No wonder our taxes are high. It took $350,000 to pay Sinclair Stevens' lawyer. .We hear the wolves howling*at night. They will get the new born calves. The United Church Women met at the home of Mrs. Margaret!a Stevens on Wednesday, September 6th with eleven ladies present. It was a most perfect day. We all admired admired the beautiful view from her home and the many flowers, truly a scenic spot . Mrs. Dora Youngman our president president opened the meeting with a poem and a prayer, followed by hymn 199. Then she called on Mrs. M. Stevens for the devotional. Mrs. Stevens read the poem, "God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot i change, And courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference." She said she was trying to follow that prayer. Since she was hoarse she had requested that Ann Dilks give the rest of her devotional. Then Ann Dilks read a letter front Rev. Norman Mackenzie addressed to the people of Kendal in reply to the many who had written at the time of Dorothy's death January 24th, 1989. In the concluding paragraph Dr. Norman Mackenzie spoke of himself and 1 quote, "About the end of June 1 decided that I needed sometime alone for thinking, meditating and dreaming of the direction in which I want my life to move in this new chapter. So I purchased purchased a Honda 1200 C.C. Gold wing motorcycle and drove out to Vancouver and back to see Ian (his son) and friends from India. It was a refreshing experience and 1 feel much, better prepared now to face the future, come what may, but it all seems so strange to be planning without my Dorothy." We sang the hymn: • "I heard the voice of Jesus say Come unto Me and rest." In the business part of the meeting we gave a donation to Street Haven, the home for homeless girls. This is a very worthy cause as many girls come to Toronto Toronto to look for employment. They use up their resources then have no place to go. Street Haven will give them food 1 and shelter and help, Girls who have been in hospital can go there till they are strong enough to go back to their job. Our U.C.W.

She told how some of their customs differed from ours. She showed us some .of their handicrafts. handicrafts. New Zealand lies 1,200 miles from Australia. She said they were as far apart as the distance between between here and England. Jean said that she would like to visit the South Island next time. While she was there they used their umbrellas a lot. They have no trouble trouble with draught. Mrs. Youngman thanked Jean for her fine travelogue which we found interesting. It added to our knowledge of that southern land. kendal bazaar will be held on the second Saturday in November, November 11th from 2 till 4. Next meeting October 4 at Ann Dilks. The meeting closed with the 'Mizpeh' benediction. Then we took qur places around the large round table where a delicious lunch was provided by Mrs. Peggy Frank. After which Miss Stewart gave her roll call, "Tell what you remember about the first day of school." One said, "The teacher made a yellow star on a slate with a piece of yellow 1 chalk and told me to fill the slate with stars." Another said, "I remember it well I broke my arm the first day at school." Another said, "All the girls of the school gathered around me, made a circle and asked, which one do you like best?" I pointed to the one with the prettiest curls. A vote of thanks was extended to Mrs. Stevens for her home. Edna McCann says: One of the most time-saving devices in the kitchen to day is the microwave oven. I assumed that this scientific wonder was a very recent recent invention, and so was very surprised surprised to learn that it was back in 1945 that scientist Percy L. 'Spencer first used microwavesto cook. He happened on the idea by acch dent. He laid a chocolate bar beside a radium vacuum tube he ( was testing. Moments later the candy bar was a melted mess., Next he tested a raw egg and popcorn in front of a small radar horn antenna. antenna. The popcorn popped and the egg exploded. Spencer had discovered to his great surprise that it was possible to cook with microwaves. The first oven was manufactured in 1947. It sold to hotels and restaurants for about three thousand thousand dollars. In 1967 the first U.S. microwave oven became availalbe for use in homes. ' The microwave saves time, energy and does not heat up the whole kitchen. Bruce gave Marg a microwave several years ago and it has been used ever since. The Kendal Women's Institute met at the home of Mrs.'Loveline Cathcart on Thursday evening at 7 p.m. with ten members present. Mrs. Dorothy 1 uransky opened the meeting with the singing of the Ode and the Mary Stewart collect. Then the secretary Mrs. Katherine Munkton read the minutes. It was hoped that arrangement could be made to visit the Darlington Generating Plant next meeting. The Penny collection $3.61 which goes to aid poorer Institutes in Asia. A good business meeting was held. We planned for the Fun Fair at Solina October 17th. Unfortunately the convenor for the meeting did not come so no topic. A dainty lunch was served by our hostess Mrs. L. Cathcart. On Wednesday morning September the 13th there had been no rain for some time but the Perry family that live north of Kendal on the former John Henderson place St. Saviour 's . Anglican Church MIL' STREET, ORONL , ONTARIO SUNDAY SERVICE and CHURCH SERVICE 9:30 a.m. decided to burn some garbage and brush. At noon they went away, a wind got up the fire followed the grass to that fine large garage. Mrs. Perry's mother looked out and saw the garage wall lit up. It was a fire. She did what she could to get the lawn mowers out. It : burned the boy's bicycles, paint they had stored, in fact everything. Fortunately the wind was in their favour from the west or it might have been worse. Eventually Eventually they called the fire brigade who kept it from spreading to the fields and woods. An older poem we learned was: Sing a song of seasons Something good in all. Flowers in the summer, Fires in the fall.
