2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, February 21, 1990 l@rono tekp flimts Second Class Mi Registration Number OO36 PubbshedEvery Wednesdayat theoffieeofPublicton The more you get involved Lawrence VanCamp, a former president of the Durham East Junior Farmers in the early 1980, when address- ing the 75th anniversary meeting on Saturday, said at first he was a reluctant candidate for president. He followed up by saying "the more you get involved the more you appreciate what is being down" and this, he said is true of any group or organization with which you become involved. It is quite true and the appreciation of volunteering does grow as an attitude and in strength. It is as well character building and provides a much better relationship with fellow mankind. The Junior Farmers organization has had a long history in this area and it was interssting to note those at the anniversary meeting who had come up through the organiza- tion and have continue as leaders in their communities. The Junior Farmers' organmizattion may be a great match-maker, as it was said at the meeting, but also it must also build leadership qualities. Congratulations on the an- niversary. A volatile situation If one was to describe the garbage disposal situation in the Region of Durham they could very well determine it as be- ing volatile. It was not that long ago that the Durham Reps return- ed from a Metro meeting all a glow with a great deal that was going to provide an interim landfill site operated by Durham at Pl near Whitevale. Not only would this service Durham but Durham was about to make some $250 million in profit 'due to Metro use. Even Metro was pleased, so went the reports. But about a month later the Pickering and Ajax Citizens Together for the Environment (PACT) organization was saying that indeed the agreement was a costly one for Durham and that instead of $250 million in profits Durham taxpayers were going to have to cough up some $115 million. It all had to do with the fact that Metro was really not com- mitted to the Pl dump for industrial waste. PACT does have a point when in fact Metro does have other areas, less costly, in which industrial garbage could be buried. But Durham reputes this fact and even so they could sell the opportunity to other centres. It really doesn't matter because last Tuesday Jack Gartley, treasurer for Durham, said capital costs on the site and off site would eat up all profits, $225 million, that could be made on the site from Metor use. Add to this that the Ontario government wishes not to sell the site and would lease it out on a tonnage fee basis. Another operating cost to be added. Volatile is the word. We understand that some regional councillors are also quite surprised to find out that Laidlaw has been working with Regional Public Works on the final design of an intersec- tion on Highway 401 that would lead directly to their propos- ed dump north-east of Newtonville. Who said Laidlaw is out of the picture of this volatile situation. BREAK-IN AT ARMSTRONG'S IGA Early Monday morning thieves threw a cement block through a window at Armstrong's IGA and quickly made off with some 300 cartons of cigarettes. It is believed it only took three or four minutes. The incident is under investigation. Orono Athletic at crossroad (Continued from page 1) Bowmanville where the registration fee is set at $80.00 compared to $200.00 in Orono. The Bowman- ville league also does less travelling than that of the local Orono tearn in the Tri-County league. Its a matter of being set between a rock and a hard place. The local Athletic receives no financial funding from the Town of Newcastle but Bester said he is of the opinion that the Town does assist the Town of Newcastle house league playing out of Bowmanville. ,T his knowledge the Athletic has ne\er asked for funding. fester said there are a lot of ben- fits associated with a locally run Athletic Association but there is a need for that shot in the arm. He said he hoped that people would fili out the questionnaire providing their viewpoints and comments. The Athletic has a long history in the Village of Orono and certainly dates back to 1940s. It has had much success in the past and many hours have been contributed through the organization in the in- terest of the youth in this communi- ty. Bester also wants it known that it is a simple matter to be a member of the association and help would cer- tainly be appreciated. A member- ship form is attached to the ques- tionnaire. Newcastle medical centre (Continued from page 1) This matter was resolved by council with a decision favouring the $23,000 valuation sorne weeks ago. It is understood that the renova- tion of a house on the property, Manvers Rd. north of No. 2 highway, will provide accommoda- tion for three doctors in the future. There is also the fact of an apart- ment on the second floor. On Monday Mrs. W. Lover, a neighbour in the area, expressed her opposition to the proposal on the grounds of garbage, parking, drainage and increased traffic in the area. Kendal News After all the snow, winds and ice, Sunday once again dawned a beautiful sunny day. The skiers were out in full force, and it was a great day to go for a drive after church. There was the usual turn out at Church. The choir sang the song, "Life is like a mountain railroad." Following the singing of the hymn, "This is My Father's World," Rev. Ransom told the children's story. He started by ask- ing thern if they had ever been teas- ed or bullied. He told them that the bullies were not concerned with the feelings of others, by going to Sun- day School they learn that Jesus was kind, and they learn the Golden Rule from the Scriptures, and should treat others as they would want to be treated. Rev. Ransom based his Sermon on, "The Identity Crisis," how we all at some time in- our life, face an Identity Crisis, wondering just who we are and what we are doing with our life. Our whole life is filled with identity crisis, the only thing we are sure of The members of the Junior Lodge didn't get to go sleigh riding last Sunday, due to the lack of snow, but they went into skate at the Arena in Orono, returning to the Hall for a time of fellowship and supper. On Friday evening, in spite of the weather, eight tables of euchre players, were brave enough Brenton Rickard again spoke to council as to the price of $23,000 stating it was too much and that the $7,000 would be much more in order. Rickard also outlined other sales of Town lands, under similar circumstances, which Rickard said had a more realistic selling price than that charged Dr. Spruyt. George Walton and Lloyd Stephenson also spoke in support of the application and the lower price for the land. In approving the staff report council members gave approval to the plan under the condition that financing of drainage and possible road work is available from the pro- ponent along with the purchase of the land and a Site Plan agreement being completed. Ron Strike acting on behalf of Dr. Spruyt wanted it understood that these requirements were sub- ject to approval of the rezoning ap- plication. He said he didn't want to see his client charged for the condi- tion and then not obtain the rezon- ing for the lands. Ganaraska freeze (Continued from page 1) thern from the freeze but that coun- cil should not now place a road block infront of the applications. Murray Taylor of Orono said that any freeze was detrimental to the Orono Downtown business sec- tion and that he opposed such a freeze on lands. He said the majori- ty of downtown business people supported this view. He also said that the environmental impact from small clusters and estate residential was very little. Bill Reid, a proponent of the Kirby Heights 14-lot proposai, aid a freeze on his application under- mined the process. He said it should not be placed on plans retroactive- ly. He said it wasn't fair to reverse the decision. Reid informed Counc. Wotten that the Kirby Heights plans had been placed with the Ontario Municipal Board. is our name.

During the presentation the developrnent was referred to as a single farnily/condominium pro- posai and that although the owner would buy the building the land and services in the development would be operated by a joint management committee. The Town would not own the roads or service the roads. Under the plan the road would be less in width than regular municipal roads. Counc. Hamre said she had cause for concern and said that the Town does receive complaints from residents in the Wilmot Creek development where Wilmot Creek looks after the roads. She said,"We can't do anything about it". She also said that parking was also a big problem at Wilmot Creek with the narrow roads lined with cars. The General Purpose committee referred the plan back to staff but called upon the developer to hold a public meeting with concerned residents to discuss their concerns as to the proposai.
