ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY MIARCHl Zth 1970 ORONO14 WEEKLY TIMES Pablished every Thursday at th fie of pubiLomo Matu Stree-t, Oron.o, On"aýo. Phone 98'3-5301 TWVO NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS If we might forget, for a short period, the aspects of the Peace Festival we would like to pay tribute to those in- volved in what we feel were two notable achievements dur- ing the past week. These are both of a local nature and do involve a considerable sigment of the residents of the area., The final payment to clear ahl debt on the Orono rink and artificial ice plant was one achievement. Here the miembers of the Athletic with somne assistance from the Hockey Mothers and other interested persons, have realized the completion of a plan which went into operation a num- ber of *years ago. This accomplishment is due to dedication by what might be called a small band of local residents who were generous in giving of their time and skill te provide a winter recreation centre for the youth of this community. Too often such endeavours are taken for granted and those who spend hours upon hours for community better- ment are forgotten in the shuffle. But irregardless Orono does have today an arena which is free of debt and is 'pro- moted to give service to the youth of the community. Thank you for a job well done. Secondly we cannot but help comment on the nature of the Ürono Public School Open House. To say the least we were quite impressed and de- lighted and wished only that we had allowed more tîme to tour the school. There appears to be a good school spirit and enthusi- asm was evide nt everywhere. Envolvement by the students themselves was on display throughout the wvhole school, not only in school work and'the arts but also indrama presen- tations and many other interesting events. We did enjoy suchi items as grade two's brief coin- positions on the Penguini and those of grade six entitled, "Me, In 1989". In these two offerings il was possible and interesting to note the wide and varying range of thought by the entire student body of the classes. Too often we gain only the opprotuniity to view the best and on this basis many gemis are tuckcd away. Mywe congratulate the stiydents and staff for a mo1st enljoy able and entertaining two hours and also for the insig-ht of our local educational system in Orono. MÛRE PARKING LOST Thle Nothumberland- Durham Cou nty Road Com- m1ission hias reported that thcy are to stand firm in their decision to establish parllel park,-ing, on the east side, Main Stieet in the Villiage of Orono. This decision is being held even though the rono Chamber of Commerce, the business mon and the Orono Police Trustees have requested that anglepakn be miaintaincd in the business arca. The decision hias little regard to the.fact that the area is a business area and that ease of parking, and, ade- quate parking is an important condition for the successful operation of a business. The Couinty has been moivated -to make the change on the premise of moving. traffic only;. The Cdunties lu their letter states that parallel park- ing is necessary fo r safety reason yet we fail to sec where the accidents have been on the Main Street of Orono. Thisý is just aniothier blow to the local business sec- tion who last year saw theit streets narrowed through a lack ofisgh or un.dcrsýtanding of the nature of the area. 'Therc appears to be a disr-egard o the fact that Orono does have a business section. 0MB 4Fl'earing (continuied fromi pageu 1) cluded in the by-law.

A numiberý of furthcr objections .werc noted in the, report as pre- sented to the 0MB hearing and in the great mai ority it was stat- ed that these requcsts could now be placed before Council as a- mendments to the zoning by- I.aws. There was no assurance, however, that such requests woufld be grantled by Council. In thle deision handed down on Mosport it was pointedl outfha theic Township was apparentfly proü- ceeding towards an Officiai Plan and that this could resuit in a- meu:dmient 's to the, restricted area by-laws. Mr. Curry declined to comment on what Karma would do next, or on whether the Companv is nom, seriously considering any of, the alternate sites referred to bv the president, John Brower, at a Bowmanville pressý conference on March 4th. Reeve Stone on Tuesdav said that he and counceil were well pleased with the decision of the 0MB in approving the by-law. Hie felt they had no other alternative than to give their approval. He said hie was flot aware of what Karma Productions would do nom, but did state that it was rumored that the promoters were r- '*, ting for land only a few miles a- way from Mosport. This of course is onlv a rumor and mnanv have been in the air over the past few weeks. Clarke Township has at long last, a bonefide zoning by-law and with its approval can now advance towards the next step in planning, an officiai plan.
