-'.V, Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday,. October 11, 1989-3 An active program of dancing Some concerns over Port Hope annexation The Simone School of Dancing Dancing in Orono hold forth Saturday Saturday mornings in the Orono Town and again once a week at their studio, Mill Street north. There has been a great response in the community amongst the youngsters for the dance classes and the above is but one group active on Saturday morning at the Town Hall. There is an old saying that you can't please everybody and this was the case when the Township of Hope held a meeting related to the proposed annexation of 650 acres of Hope Township land by Port Hope. Both the Township and the Town of Port Hope were represented at the meeting when some thirty residents of the area were in attendance. attendance. . The land under consideration is south of Highway 401 west of the present west boundary of the Town. The 650 acres reaches to Lake On- tario on the south. Some residents spoke of being betrayed in the offer by Hope Township who do receive a small parcel of land north of 401 from Port Hope and over the next five years a sum of $900,000. There was also a call for a referendum on the proposed annexation. annexation. To this Roger Wilson, Reeve of Hope, stated that such was not possible due to provincial regulations regulations on such a matter. He said both Hope and Port Hope were bound to follow provincial regulations in the matter. Dan Thomey who owns a farm north of Port Hope and between Highway'401 and 106 said he was amazed that his property was left out of the annexation. He, said he The Tall and the Short Of It All It was with the intent of a fishing outing'that Bill Carman and Roy Forrester left Orono one dreary Saturday, September 22nd morning with fishing poles and tackle packed away in the trunk of the car. The two had made a similar trip a month prior to the Staples' cottage on Lake Baptiste where Bill had caught a five pound pickerel. Certainly this and a week or two later landing a 9.7 pounder at a Lake in the Apsley area had Bill all ' primed for the two-day, event back to Baptiste. It really wasn't fishing weather by any means and from the turn of events I'm sure it was just a matter of getting away for a couple of days. It's a two hour drive to Baptiste but to break the monotdny it was decided to travel east on No. 7 to Madoc, then take No.62 north to Bancroft. It was a wise move for,we did enjoy some great fall colours just south of Bancroft as well as north of the town. The diversion to No. 62 did result, with some stops, a travel time of six hours rather th&n the usual two. Bill often pulled off to the side of the road to let traffic traffic pass us by which no doubt we had been holding up. It was a leisurely six hours. We did stop at Madoc and walked walked around the business section to see what they had to offer and then hit the restaurant for a cup. of coffee. coffee. Bill on returning from the washroom said, "I want you to see the washrooms before we leave." This I did. We did find a guest book at the pay counter interesting with visitors from many parts of the province and even from the U.S. The fishing is nothing to report as Saturday was not fit to get out on the lake and Sunday not much better. better. In fact we looked for sheltered areas on shore to get the heat of the sun and took some casts out into the lake. , Generally 1 can count on Bill Car man or Bill Bunting to do all the cooking and I'll look after the dishes having brought paper plates and cups. On this occasion Bill rebelled and we had our two meals in Bancroft Saturday. Come Sunday morning I waited and waited but there was no life from Bill., Finally 1 got word it was too cold to get up and as such I stumbled through the preparation of bacon, eggs and tôast. The trip home (without lunch) was another casual event this time' travelling west through such as Tory Hill, Gooderham, Wilber- force etc. What a change in Bob- caygeon which could be a subject of writing in itself. Before 1 dose out . ..it's back to Madoc and the restaurant washrooms which 1 did visit on Bill's request. ■ There on the wall was the dewatering facility (urnal) and within ten inches the sink. The bowl of the urnal was higher than the bowl of the sink ... a Mutt and Jeff scenario. It was tip-toes for the j urnal urnal and knee bend for the sink. It looked so unusual, which it was, that it became a subject of conversation conversation for a number of miles. Our only solution was that so- ,meone must have interchanged the units on Hallowe'en.

School Board holds concern over criminal code change The Trustees of the Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education have given approval for a letter to be sent to the Law Reform Commission of Canada outling their concern that an amendment to the criminal code . may not allow teachers to keep, children in school after classes as a mean of discipline. The issue was debated at the recent recent meeting of the board with concerns concerns expressed both by teachers and board members. The criminal code amendment, if passed, would make it illegal for teachers to "confine" students as a means of discipline. Teachers and- trustees are now wondéring if that could be stretched to include keeping keeping students after classes adjourn for the day. It is felt that the word "confine" is ambiguous in its terminology. It has been pointed out that the role in education is known and that children can be kept "in school until 4 o'clock.

He said the Eldorado Welcome dump is located in the proposed area and it was known the dump was leaking down the west side of moraine.. He contended that contamination contamination was spreading into th,e water table and -travelling to the lake.
