Certalnly Elexa wlll be a volce to heed Judging from her stand in lier address to the nation on election niglit. She was concise, crlsp and clear i pollcy of which she intends her party to followlng i the upcomirig session. Jobs, maintainIng and improving support for health care, educatton and social amenittes for ail headed the list for McDonough. Other recent elections tI other countries do show a somewhat swing to the left benefiting the community as a whole. The presidential race ti Iran was taken by a moderate over four ultra-religlous mullahs. The rlght of centre President and party tI France lias been defeated by a Soclalist party. Brttons gave the nod to Labourite Blair wlio was given a thumping majortty for his cautious program to the left. Wittl this recent cliangirig trend around the world it will behoove the Liberals in Canada to re-assess their position . .Yes the balanclng of the budget sliould be conttnued but possibly at a slower rate to allow additional funds for sucli programs that better the lifestyle of ail Canadians. The 1997 Liberail campaigri had little meat rior vision as to the future. The Conservative plan, or at least one of tlie mnany plans followed the Harris tax cuts, balanced budget whlcli just does even out but for top few. The Bloc and tlie Reform are out of the picture as far- as the majority of Canadians are concerned. It seems It lias to be Elexa and the NDP to show tlie way. We need lier vision and crtspness even thougli some portions may have to be balanced. Mayor meets D.B.L.A. (contînued from page 1) zoning no developer would purchase the land to buîld houses. The officiai plan would have to, be amnended to change the-zoning and the mayor couldn't see anyone going through that process. Then of course the sewer issue was brought up. Archie McLaren of Orono Fuel and Lumber said there are now no more lots in Orono larger than the required 7/8 of ani acre, on which to build homes. Wîthout a certain percent of growth businesses will, die and so will the town. The water plant built in Newcastle for the Port of Newcastle develop- ment was built oversîzed to accommodate Orono in the future. Sewers for Orono will become feasible when the north end of Newcastle-is developed and a developer pays to bring services that far north. Till then we will have to sit and wait tilI the pipe comes to Orono. Roy Forester stood uýp and( said le hiad hcard the samne argumnents for Ici last 3)0 - 40 years, sewers and parking. He said the best way to pro- mote the town was to mnake it a famîly affair. H1e asked if there had been a party for- the new pharmnacist? or if there would be one for thie new Doctor if one came to town?- Roy, received a rouind of applause for lis insighits. SThe meeting ended after some more sewer talk. The mayor was presented with a gift (bought4t,; Orono) in appreciation for coming to the meeting. After the meeting were once again urged to par- take of the cheese and crackers and the home made wine donated by the pharmacist. ARTIST (continued fromn page 1) had painted portraits and doing commissions. H1e grad- ually started painting land- scape scenes, many of which he painted on old milk canis.' Last March, Story painted a mural at GM were he-works in the Paint and Repair depart- ment. The GÎM mural was 42 ft. wide by 15 CI,. high and it was on plant safe.ty.

I1liad lioped to respond to lis article earlier but have found myself busy with the "Friends of Fish" pro- ject. I am working to dlean up tlie Orono Creek, so Its beau- ty can be regerierated. "I leamned so0 mudli in three days". I would like to tliank the S.B. Rutherford Memorial committee for sponsoring me to attend the "Harbingers of Spring" Worksliop. It provid- ed me witli a great opportu- nlty to leamn more about the natural world. I rcturned home wiser and healthier. Three days of walking in the fresh air rejutvenates the sys- tem. The naturalists who attended were some of the most Impressive people I have ever met. Roy referred to our own riaturalist spirit i declding tobrave Uic sumxner cabins for our sleeping quarters. Ilil admit Uic sleeping arrange- ments I chose were brisk but at least I wasr't late for any 5:30 a.m. wake up cails. Let's just say I was up to make Uic coffee and get my circulation going. Roy also mentioried the food. it was fabulous. Ail the frcsh air, idoors and out- doors, made me appreclate every morsel. It was a wel- comed break from being Uic head cook and botile washer at home. 0f al Uic people I -met, I was most dclighted by Dr. James Cook. He encouraged me to follow my hopes of improving our eriviroriment for future generatioris. My sincere tlianks are extended to the S.B. Rutherford Memorlal Committee. I will riot forget Uic experierice or Uic impor- tance of Its message. Our enviroriment deserves our attention and protection. Dear Editor, Do you thlnk by chance that prior to Uic recent elcc- tion the Liberal Party was able to spike Ortarlo's water supplies witli a 'vote Liberal serum?' Otherwlse, how could one Camp Samnac Art Festival held annually during the last week- end of September. When you're in town and sec Davé on his portable scaf- fold '(built on top of his /88 Yugo), -take the timne to ask him about his work and encourage him. account for the people of Ontario voting almost en-bloc for more of tlie Liberalis mie in spite of the followlng: a.

Followlng tlie election resuits, the Ontario Liberals must truly have thouglit tliey liad ail collectively died and gone to heaven, for neyer have so many politicians been let off the liook than in this election. It almost appears that any candidate putting up a, red sigri would automati- cally become eitlier elected or re-clected in Ontario, sucli was the grip of the Liberals. Thank goodncss tlie peo- ple I the Atlantic provinces and those in Manitoba and Saskatchiewan, saw througli their pliony representation during the past three and a hall years, when nary one of those elected in Ontario stood up for us on the cuts that have s avaged ourliealtli care, and allowed drug prices to go uncontrolled.
