We should not be so quick to ýcondemn other countries 'for what they are doing, when we are doing the same. The funding has been cut on the food banks, as a result, many have had to close. Is that evil? We will have to wait and see, we should flot be too hasty in passing judgement. We could disturb or destroy the crop. We assume we know ail and are quick, to judge others. We are impatient, we must lear n to be pa- tient. Some can see the oppor- tunities ahead that we can't see. Martin Luther was seen as a hated man. Mean, critical, he was excom- municated from his church, yet he went on and founded the Protestant HARRIS-SCOFFIELD Mrs. Claire Harris of Montreal and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Scoffield of Campbellcroft are pleased to an- nounce the engagement of Michele Harris and Mark Scoffield. The couple will be married in the Protestant Church in St. Sauveur, P.Q. (near Montreal) on September lst. Both Mark and Michele are presently living in Ottawa, where Mark is a project manager for a large construction company and Michele has started her own building contracting company, "Critical Path."I Council Briefs Counc. Stapleton reportedl at counicil on Monday that there were 58 sites chosen in Newcastle Village for Super Mail Boxes by Canada post. He said it was a great concern and stated that these centres were a 24 hour operation.. Counc. Hannah asked if location were -not desinated in the site plan of a sub-division, to which Frank Wu, planning director stated, that it was the last thing to be considered. Mayor Hubbard said she was to' sec a plan later this week. Staff -are to negotiate with On- tario Hydro for some $30,000 from the $1 .3 million Station B account. The money is to be used to hire consultants to help the Town study the environmental report from Hydro relating to further nuclear stations for their twenty-five year plan. An application by Jan and Janina O'Chonski, O'Chonski Road to rezone 1.48 acres of land from Agriculture to Open Space was tabl- ed on Monday. The planning department recom- mended that the application be denied. O'Chonski was denied a severance on the land by the Land Division Committee in 1988. Counc. Hamnre spoke against the denial on Monday and stated count- cil should accept the recommenda- tion of the planning department for denial. She pointed to strip develop- ment as undesirable and that if water and sewers corne to Orono the land would be a candidate for development at that time.. The potential housing supply in the Town of Newcastle is a total of 15344 units of which 1250 are now vacant lots in registered plans of sub-division and 14094 lots now in the process of being considered for approval. In, a report to council this represents 28 .5 percent share of the Region of Durharn. It is noted that Newcastle is a- preferred location for development and that in tacti many of' the townhouses and links tati withjn the Pot Pourrie corner Gord's View Is Television dangerous? by Gord Milîs For some time now I have become increasingly convinced that the most pernicious threat to our civilization lies not in school prayer, the GST, Free Trade, the "greenhouse effect" or our waste dàisposal problems. Rather, it is in the persistent and poisonous mind pollutant pumped directly and relentlessly into our homes in the form of television. Perhaps other less concerned citizens will choose to, ignore this threat, and perhaps my alarm will go unnoticed and unappreciated as well. In any event, s0 many parents have talked to their family doctors about the amount of television their children watch that the Ontario Medical Association has finally issued a set of viewing guidelines provincial guidelines of affordable housing ($1 57,500). A total of 227 residential building permits have been issued for the first six months of 1990 which com- pares with a total of 1359 for the twelve month period of 1989. Evergreen Farm and Garden Ltd. of Orono has been awarded a con- tract for a four-wheel drive tractor with loader at a price of $17,925.84. The lowest bidder.

The biggest problem is not car- toons but prime-time shows which children are watching by the time they're eight. They are thrust night- ly into a complex world of violence, adultery, alcoholîsm, drug abuse, crime and corruption. In a world they don't understand, thîngs they see become normal because T.V. is supposed to imitate life itself. Telemarketing has recenlty thrust upon us the "La Beer" commer- cials, imposing young minds to ac- cept as the norm the dreadful ar- tificial scenes depicted. Even Kellog Corn Flake commercials, once so home spun, now focus shots on the full leg of a female in marketing their product. Ail of us have our own idea of what we would like cut out of T.V. Some parents may have forgotten that while T.V. may appear harmless, it's the moàt powerful communicator the children have to- day. Already the results of T.V. violence is what concerns the On- tario Medical Association the most. Television has a role in our socie- ty, and a good one, but we should be on guard to make sure that it doesn't turn our brains aiid those of our children into peanut butter with the oil slick on top. . station Firie C ails The following fire calîs were received by the Town of Newcastle Fire Department, Station 3, Orono, during the week of July 16, to July 22, 1990.
