Letter to The Editor Visitors to the Bowmanville Library on Friday, November 20, may have been surprised to find that the library staff had an even more youthful appearance than usual. Heather Chambers, a grade three student at Lord Elgin Scpool in Bowmanville, was the winner of the Newcastle Public Library's Library Helper for a Day contest. She's shown above as she checks out some books along with Mary Recoskie. Her responsibilities included reading a story, helping out with mailing, and assisting with the computer to name just a few. She also enjoyed a tour of the library facilities. To the Editor: I sincerely regret having to write this letter. I do not wish to aggravate anyone but I feel that I must respond to what appears to be a deliberate deliberate attempt to mislead many of my neighbours in the north end of the village of Orono. Some time ago, concern 19 88 CHRYSLER FIFTH AVENUE We have a good selection of these beautiful, fully-equipped automobiles and they're ready for immediate delivery. Come in and experience one today. Macintosh Chrysler Plymouth Limited 331 ParkRcl. S. Oshawa 728-4638 290 North Front St. Belleville (613)966-8610 was expressed bv a very limited limited number of my neighbours neighbours that I was parking my excavating equipment on my lot. For those unaware, our lot is quite deep and is distinguished by a hill that runs across the property and a treed area at the very rear of the property. In order to rationalize the situation, I, along with 2 of my neighbours neighbours immediately to the south, decided to apply for rezoning to allow us to park our own equipment on our own properties. Each of my neighbours owns one transport transport tractor and wishes to be able to park the one vehicle each on their own lots. It is my sole desire to have formally formally recognized my ability to park a limited amount of excavating equipment towards towards the rear of my lot where it is sheltered from public view by the hill and trees. To my way of thinking it is just an expansion of a home occupation use. This past weekend I was visiting visiting a friend in the Orono Estates and was shocked at what had been said to them by a person obviously opposed opposed to the proposed change. It was indicated to me that in order to obtain signatures on a petition in opposition to the proposed changes, people were being told that we were establishing establishing a commercial business on a large scale with trucks coming and going at all hours. It was further suggested suggested that this was just the first phase and that a large truck centre was being established established across the road and that I was somehow involved involved in all of this. I was further told that misleading and libellous statements were made about my neighbours. neighbours. My purpose of writing this letter is to simply state that the zoning change we are seeking is simply one that will formalize our ability to park a very limited amount of our own equipment on our lots. It is not my intention to dramatically expand the amount of equipment I own. It is not my intention to start a new business on the lot or across the road for that matter. matter. Indeed, it is solely my intention intention to have recognized what many people unfamiliar unfamiliar with the situation or circumstances circumstances would take for granted. I do not wish to offend anyone anyone but given what was relayed relayed to me this post weekend weekend I felt compelled to write this letter. If you've taken this time to read this letter, I Thank you. Sincerely, Mel Hartwig. On Friday, November 6, an awards banquet was held for trophy winners at the Maple Leaf Karate Club.
