Forreter.Eitor A little gem The production of Genesis by the Bethany Outdoor Theatre group was indeed a little gem in the area of local theatre. Interesting in that the script was locally written with a somewhat fresh'outlook and in- teresting that it was outdoors with some inventive staging and presenta- tion none the least being the musical background. But there were many other features that made attendance most worthwhile. Above all it was local, some different and not too heavy for what is a straight forward story as outlined in Genesis. When Ezra statea tnat man siail have domain over ail plants and all living things it did bring us into the present where such has happened. It has created the destruction of many of the features of the environ- ment and according to some this destruction, is in many cases, unrepairable. Man was not moulded to be perfect but he does have the ability to right wrong. It was an interesting message which we had taken from the play and which is applicable today as it was in the beginning. Another thought passes the mind that it is not a requirement that one has to go to the city for good theatre. There are gems available in our own area and the production out of the hills at Bethany was one such gem. Happenings . . . . LIAISON COMMITTEE MEETINGS CANCELLED UNTIL FALL With the revamping of the Newcastle Community Liaison Com- mittee under the chairmanship of Garnet Rickard all public meetings that had been arranged have been cancelled. A meeting was to have been held in Orono this Thursday evening. It has been cancelled. The committee is to meet with council of the Town of Newcastle. Council said the meeting would be held in open council. BREAK-INS PREVALENT IN ORONO Over the past few days break-ins have been prevalent in Orono with the Orono Liquor store being broken into on Friday night when a number of cases of beer were stolen. Sunday night numerous cars in the Orono Estates sub-division were entered with some loss of property. Miracles still happen (Continued from page i) Becky finds the Jungle Cat World an interesting place to visit - it arouses her curiosity. On a visit to the Cat World some weeks ago she returned home with a Goose egg, a duck egg and a Dove egg with the full intent to have the eggs hatch. It was a no-go for Becky but she was not disheartened. A week ago last Saturday she again visited the Cat World this time returning with a duck egg. Handling the egg very carefully it was placed in a wicker baskeet lined with a small blanket under which a hot water bottle was placed. And then the addition of a light bulb for further heat. Lori, her mother, went along with the game but not with con- fidence as had Becky. "It hatched, it hatched" was the cry from Becky to her mother at Stutt's Pharmacy on Tuesday. "The egg hatched we have a duckl- ing". "I just couldn't believe it," said Lori a few days later when the camera came out for a photo of Becky and the healthy young duckl- ing tucked into its own basket. As the duck grows it will now have to be Lori who will have to be resourceful and no doubt in her wildest of dreams did she ever ex- pect to become a grandmother so early in life and to a duckling. Occupancy of Rest Home eut by council members Careview Manor Special Care Rest Home Inc., Bowmanville, was given approval by the planning staff of the Town of Newcastle to operate with 44 residents through a rezoning application. The approval was on condition that the operation meet a number of minor improvements to meet condi- tions of the Ontario Fire code. The Rest Home Inc. is located on the north side of Church Street just west of George Street in the downtown area of Bowmanville. There has been opposition to the operation of the Rest Home from area citizens. Although the planning staff agreed to approval of 44 residents in the 22 bedroom facility council members were not so generous and reduced occupancy to 25 residents. Council members also called for a privacy fence to be constructed on the east, west and north sides of the proprtv. Rex Walters asked council to reduce the occupancy numbers if approval was to be given. He called for the twenty-five person figure. In general discussion Counc. Hannah said that it was likely that the 44 number would be needed to make the operation financially sound. Hannah later voted for the 25 person occupancy. Counc. Frank Stapleton called for the 25 occupancy requirement stating that if everything went well it could be increased within a couple of years. Planning director Frank Wu said to increase the oecupancy it would require a further rezôning applica- tion. Counc. Hamre said she had a dif- ficulty with the reduction in oc- cupancy when within the past ten years the Town had issued a building permit for an addition to the facility. Now you are taking that away, she said. Kendal News and Kendal Hall News by Phyllis Lowery I am sorry to say I don't seemto have very much Kendal news, other than it is my understanding that the sub flooring is all installed at the Church and that the new rugs go in this week. What an excellent job they did installing this floor. The service this week was held at Newtonville with Allan Baker in the Pulpit. Next week it will be Shiloh, and the following week at Kendal. On Sunday, July 29th, remember it will be an outdoor service at the home of Myrtle Kloster, bring your lawn chairs. The men and ladies have been having a real busy time at the Orange Hall, the ladies having work parties to make food for the parade in Orono and the men busy transporting chairs and tables up to the Arena. It was planned to prepare food for at least three hun- dred, this was our goal, and I think we came close to feeding that many, between the salad plates and the sandwiches, the soft drinks, tea and coffee, went well, also the desserts. After the parade we resumed sell- ing food and the men also cooked hot dogs and I understand they sold out. The fairgrounds was an ideal place to hold the Celebration. I don't believe in my 10 years of at- tending, I have seen a better loca- tion. Usually what happens is the parade starts in one place and you end up at another, and by then you are too tired to do anything but stagger back to your car and head home. The walk was just a nice distance and the route was pleasant. It was nice to see so many people lining the streets, the only fly in the ointment was a minor one. Why did they choose the day before the parade to patch Main Street with fine loose gravel. That is murder, if you get it in your shoe. Oh well, at least the weather co-operated, we couldn't have asked for better weather. From the time of leaving the north end of the ground until return, everything went without a hitch. Speaking of hitching, there were a few anxious moments waiting for the last float in the parade, glad it got there. It doesn't seem to matter how many bands or people are mar- ching, all the little ones are in- terested in are the horses. If you did not come to the arena, you missed a good display of banners, some dating a longlong way back. Also in the afternoon, the bands put on a good demonstration. I have been in quite a few arenas and I must say that the accoustics in the Orono No give for rock concert (Continued from page 1) Amazing Promotions would have left. Mayor Hubbard pointed to $10 million for indemnity insurance and asked about the change in a liquor licence for the event. Kamin said Mosport did require indemnity insurance from the pro- moter and the change in the liquor licence was due to the fact that the event was a rock concert. Counc. Stapleton said the event could attract 30,000 people and neighbouring property could be damaged. Kamin made the point thai Mosport had been a corporate citizen of the area for thirty years. Counc. Hamre said the key to the issue is the fact that you will be here the day after the rock concert. The meeting took no action as result of the debate. Arena, are the best yet. The sound does not bounce back at you, and when you have a bunch of drum- mers and fifers all playing at once, sometimes it is deafening, but Saturday it was enjoyable. All in all it was a good day, tiring, but one could go home feeling proud of our local people for the success of the parade and of the support of the people watching. It may have taken fifty-two years to bring it back to Orono, but I think the men and ladies of that time would have been pleased with the Celebration. Next week, I will have a list of the Lodges who took part and the names of the winners in the com- petitions. At this time the members of the local lodges would like to express our thanks to the members of the Police Force, for keeping our route safe, to Peter Maartense for his help at the arena, no matter what we asked him, he did it with a smile and made things a lot easier for us. Even though we kept blowing fuses and our coffee perks wouldn't heat, he got us back in business. Thank you Peter. To all the businesses that let us put up signs, prior to the parade. The Ladies of Kendal Hills L.O.B.A. would like to thank the I.G.A. for the use of their per- culator, also Kendal Church for the use of theirs, to Nick, at the Dutch Oven, for ordering some of the sup- plies we needed, to Barnoski Farms, for supplying the potatoes free of charge, it is with the help of local people like these, that we can raise money to carry on our benevolent work. On Sunday, the Kendal Band along with some of the members of Kendal L.O.L. and Kendal L.O.B.A. went to Woodville, to at- tend a church parade and church service. Clarence Allin, formerly of Kirby and member of Kendal Lodge No. 405, is County Master in Vic- toria County, we were pleased to at- tend and to have the band play for this event. Clarence never fails to at- tend and play in the Kendal band when he is needed. It bas long been a wish of bis to have a church parade in Woodville, and we want to thank him for asking us to take part. All in all this bas been a busy weekend, but it has been a time for renewing old friendships and meeting new ones, a time for remembering the days long gone, yet a time to look forward to the days yet to come.
