Traector Trailer Tips Orono Arena *760,000 at Waverley Road Exit A contract for the construction of the Orono arena and community centre has been tentatively approved by the town's finance committee. Bel Con Engineering, of Belleville, was the firm selected by the committee to build a new arena and grandstand in Orono. The company submitted a bid totalling $799,600. But Mike Sawyer, a representa- tive of the Orono Amateur Athletic Association, said last week that some items may be deleted from the project in order to cut costs. Items recommended by the town's engin- eer -would lower the total cost to approximately $759,000. In addition, Mr. Sawyer told, members of the town's finance committee this week that if sprink- lers are lef t out of the building, there, could be a saving of $26,000. At present, the arena building commit- Short-Sighted Dog in Orono Fair Parade tee in Orono is not certain whether the sprinklers for fire protection can be omitted. Take 36 Weeks Mr. Sawyer told the finance committee that the arena project is expected to take up to 36 weeks for completion. He said the project could be started by October 1st. Final details on the Orono arena project are to be completed by the arena building committee by next Monday when Newcastle council will meet. If everything is in order by that time, the action taken by the finance committee can be endorsed (mTur to Page 2) One of the cutest entries in the school children's parade at Orono Fair on Friday was this Zoo entry featuring pup Poppy wearing glasses. The dog didn't seem to mind a bit and made no effort to remove them. Andrea Burnham is seated alongside Poppy. There was another interesting entry, Karen Guy of Orono who brought her pet duck on a lèash and wearing a shawl. Both won prizes. The position of town manager has not yet been filled but it has already cost the municipality close to $4,000. Members of the Town of New- castle finance committee learned Monday that the bill for expenses related to the hiring of a town manager totals $3,723.18. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard told the finance committee that the bill was probably not the total amount spent by the town in the hiring campaign. The finance committee voted Monday to pay the bill which came from the management consultants, Stevenson and Kellogg. The firm is assisting the municipality in select- ing a manager. Members of the committee decid- ed to go "in camera" to discuss another bill from its management consultant. This bill totalled $9,721. 82 and it covers the cost of a study and report on the town's administra- tion. Mayor Rickard told the committee that he had further information on the bill but he did not want to discuss it in camera. The administration study com- missioned by the municipality has not yet been made public. However, an article appearing leaked to the Oshawa Times last month revealed some of the recom- mendations contained in the report. According to the Oshawa news- paper, the report recommends the eventual hiring of il new town employees and the expansion of office space for the municipality. This tractor trailer truck lost control on a wet ramp leading from the Waverley Rd. exit in Bowmanville yesterday morning. Newcastle fire chief, Jim Hayman said the truck was headed for the gas station off highway 401 on Martin Rd. at the time of the 401 Signs Signs along Highway 401 through in the im the municipality of Newcastle are confusion w causing confusion.

He suggested that a sign on Highway 401 could read "Bowmanville next two exits". He also suggested that a sign on the 401 could point to the town's business section.

Not too many around here have appeared on television, and this is a big opportuni- ty. QUITE A SHOCK - Members of Bowmanville Lions received a bit of a jolt at their dinner Monday night. No speaker had been booked so a film on Great Moments in Sport had been brought in. Unfortunately, someone had put the wrong film in the can, it was all in German. Sounds like a Carson Elliot joke. He phoned here today to tell us about 40 tons of cheese being stolen in Toronto. Apparently it must have taken about 5 hours of work, and Carson figures it was a waste of time because the police were setting traps all over the place. Frankly, it sounds to us like just another get ritz quick scheme. We bet the owner was really cheesed off.
