Editor The future course for Orono The Town of Newcastle is holding a public meeting in the Orono Town Hall òn Tuesday, June 5th at which time the future course for Orono will be the issue of debate. Consideration will be given with public input allowed into the Secondary Hamlet plan for Orono, a plan that will set the future plans for the Village. It's a matter of growth be- ing allowed or the stagnation of the area as far as commercial and residential development. The most recent plan submitted by the Planning Department of the Town allows for little growth other than a possible 22 residential lots and with little expansion of the boundaries for the Village. This plan greatly differs from a proposal submitted to the Town by the consulting firm of Procter and Redfern in late 1987 which expanded the boun- daries in the north-west corner to allow for future growth. The Orono Development Committee, a group in- terested in expansion for the future, has called the most recent plan one of regressive planning which surely it must be. The key for expansion is one of adequate water supply which is at the present time limited and the installation of sewers in Orono. Without both an adequate system of supply- ing water and collecting sewage the future is bleak as to ex- pansion. There is no immediate solution to water and sewers but after talking recently to Councillor Diane Hamre there may be hope and there has been some consideration through the Town as to pressure on the Region for a form of better supply of both services. The possibility does exist through a connec- tion with the Village of Newcastle systems. Many factors will play a part in just 'when' and 'if'. Certainly there would have to be an upturn in residen- tial demand to that of the present time and the consideration of cost and the availability of raw land for development. The meeting on Tuesday does become important for those in the community to express their concerns and their thoughts as to the future of the village. The meeting is open for all expressions and following these expressions the Town committee will make a decision as to the course to be taken, one way or another. Plan to attend. St. John Ambulance week We are inundated with special recognition weeks and in fact they overlap profusely. But this week, St. John Am- bulance Week, is one that carries on day after day year after year. Strictly operated on a voluntary basis the band of workers appear ever so often at community events and hap- penings to be available in the time of mishap and injury. They are always at the Orono Fair, the Beaver jam- borees and the so many other events that happen in our com- munity. In fact it happens so often during the course of a year that locally their faces do become familiar. It's time to say "thank-you" in more than a modest manner. The Town of Newcastle Parrellel Accord The fracus in Quebec as it relates to Canada is par- ralleled in the Town of Bowmanville as its relates to the Town of Newcastle. With the issue of signs and sovereign associa- tion with economic ties Quebec and Bowmanville are mar- ching the same course. It's not that we are upset over all this other than it is a matter of interest. While Bourassa sees destinctiveness through the total use of French signs in his province so do many residents in Bowmanville Recreation Centre with no reference to the Bowmanville Recreation Centre with no reference to the Town of Newcastle is a fine example. It is true that many other municipal buildings do not carry the name of Town of Newcastle and even in Orono the arena is a 'No Name' brand. Garnet Rickard makes mention of the financial efforts of Bowmanville in assisting with the cost of the Bowmanville Recreation Centre, some $1.5 million. A great effort and Garnet and his band are to be congratulated. But it is only part of the financial aspect of the construction of the facility. The province assists and so do every taxpayer in the Town of Newcastle whether they be in Bowmanville on the west boun- dary in Courtice or in the hinterland in north Clarke. You can addto this what will be a operating deficit year after year of the facility and the annual debenture cost outlined in the 1990 budget at $400,000. Sovereignty Association with economic tics cries Bourassa. The parrallel exists in the Town of Newcastle - oh yes. Kendal News Sorry, I don't have much news to report this week. We played hooky from attending Church this Sun- day, so I didn't get any of the an- nouncements for this coming week. Remember this Sunday will be Communion Sunday, Baptism and the Sunday when anyone wishing to join or transfer their membership may do so. On Saturday, we travelled to a small place called Kars. It was our first time to visit there. We took the scenic route, as I always do unless I am in a real hurry. I never travel the 401. The countryside is so many shades of green right now, but no matter where you look there are ponds on the fields and the streams and lakes are very high. We joined No. 7 Highway at Norwood then on to Perth, from there we went to Smith Falls where we stayed at the Mariners Inn. Our room overlook- ed the River and Lock 26. They were holding an event called Dink- ing on the Rideau. There were two men or ladies to each rubber raft or pontoon raft and they came to the lock where they had to ift their boat out at ute water and carry it over the land to below the lock, put it back in the water and go on their way. It look- ed like all were having a good time. In the morning when I got up, I looked out and about 12 of the boats were just being launched, ready to take off again. I didn't hear how far they travelled altogether. Sunday we travelled on to Lanark and then on up toRenfrew, Cobden and back through Eganville, Barry's Bay, Bancroft, Coe Hill and down through Keene and arriv- ed in Kendal in time to sit down to a delicious salad supper, from reports of the committee in charge of this event, it was considered a success. Sorry I reported that it was spon- sored by the Sunday School, it was put on by the Restoration Commit- tee. No matter who it was spon- sored by the food was as always plentiful and delicious.

On Saturday, May 26th fifteen men and ladies of the Lodge in Ken- Council passes rezoning for truck operation. (Continued from page 1) represented by Irv Hamilton. He stated that there appeared to be two issues, zoning and by-law enforcement. In speaking on by-law enforcement he said it must be seen that all are treated the same. As to the recommendation by Frank Wu of the planning depart- ment Hamilton said Wu could do nothing else but call for denial. "The issue", he said, "was land use not the issue of helping a business". He said it was unfair to say that his clients wanted to close out the business. He said under the present condition the business does not pay business tax. "Council must deal with an even hand," he said. Hamilton was emphatic when he said his clients had advised him that the issue be taken to the Ontario Municipal Board if approval was granted by council for the rezoning. Hamilton further stated that he felt that both the Region and the Ministry of Agriculture would ap- peal a Town approval of the rezon- ing application. He said the cost of the upgrading the road, as a condition set by Public works, would be costly not the suggested $100 a foot. He pointed to two former clients of bis who were faced with this condition and that where the cost was pro- hibitive atd the rezoning was drop- ped. Mayor Hubbard, who voted for approval, said the operation was allowed to locate on the site prior to the setting forth of the Region and the official plan. She said that if they closed out the Woods opera- tions there would be many more to go. Hamilton replied that the onus was on the owner to produce cer- tification of approval from the former Township of Clarke. He said a verbal response will not stand before the OMB. As at the committee meeting last week Councs. Wotten, Stapleton, Deegan and Mayor Hubbard voted supporting the rezoning applica- tion. Hamre, Hannah, Hopper voted against approval. dal, and Tyrone travelled to Kars, which is just east of Kemptville, to attend a Testimonial Dinner in honour of Bro. Eldon Brownlee and Sis. Lois Brownlee. Bro. Brownlee is Grand Master and Sovereign of the Loyal Orange Lodge of Caada. Sister Lois Brownlee is M.W. Grand Mistress of the Ladies Orange Benevolent Association of Canada. It is the first time in the History of the Orange Lodge, that a husband and wife have held the two top offices at the same time. When hearing of all ie things these two people have done, both in the Orange Order and in other organizations, they also have raised four daughters and a son, ran a dairy farm and also held down other positions, it makes one wonder where they found enough hours in the day. It was a pleasure to attend and give Honour to this wondèrful couple. By the time you read this, the Ladies Tops and Trends party will be over, but don't forget the Salad Supper put on by the Men's Lodge, this coming Saturday night, June 2nd.
