Orono Ho% C. nrsr.din LITTLE SOLUTION FOR LESKARD ROAD RESIDENTS The Town of Newcastle came forth with the only solution they could, and that is very littie, regarding the concerns of Leskard Road residents over the use of the road by gravel trucks. The residents petitioned council for relief of the danger, noise and nuisance of gravel trucks using the Leskard Road which has developed residentially on the east side over the past few years. But residents and council are faced with the legitimate use of the road for through traffic and as such there is littie room for council to move in negotiating any form of relief for the residents. Council could hardlvý take any otheracti on than they did on Monday. Strip development such as has h-appenied on Leskard road does have many drawbacks and such developments do not have the amenities of a properly planned, residential development. Costs of municipal services, if ever required, would bc costly and as on Leskard road there is little protection from the road becoming a heavily traffic through thoroughfare. Counicîl had no other recourse than the action taken. THREE FOR ONE DONATION The economics of a public subscriçftion donation to the Orona Community Centre and Arena is such that for every dollar donated through public subscription the committee ends up with three dollars. This is due to the fact that Wintario matches every public subscription with an additional amount double in size. This is an economic boon for the finance committee and for taxpayers throughout the Town of Newcastle. Monies from taxation and through the Town of Newcastle are not subject to receiving grants and thus a greater load is placed on the municipality if funding must come from such a source. Residents in this area have an opportunity to take advantage of funds from Wintario but this can only come about through people giving support to the complex through public subscriptions. The Orono drive for the Centre and Arena is a real challenge and an ambitious undertaking. It can only be realized with solid support for the project and a generous donation. If the Village is to stay alive as 'A Good Place to Live' such services as wiil be provîded through the complex are a necessary requirement. The complex is a component of many attributes which makes Orono a Good Place to Live.- Even the challenge ta make it ail happen kindies a spark of life with the binding effect for this community. To receive one must give. Support the drive for the new community centre and arena complex. LOT 21 SHIOULD REMWAIN WALKWAY A message came through on Wednesday eveningof last week when residents of Orono Estates and thers made it quite clear that they did not ,vant the lifestyle in Orono Estuates disrupted through the development of a commercial complex, no mnatter how limited, on their door step, Robin's Road. The meeting was a-- good meeting and those in attendance are to be congratulated for the clear, concise and unemnotional presentations.. The course of action now to be recommended to council from the Planning Administration Cammittee may not be as clear as the objections to the proposai of the transfer of lands, and the development of a commercial enterprise within the subdivision. Council will have ta seek legal advice as they have already passed an agreement which may or may not be binding on the municipality. This agreement is certaînly contrary ta the wishes of the petitioners and it does appear that individual council members have become sympathetic ta the wishes ,jf the residents of the area, SDurîng the course of discussion on Wednesday it was stated a number of times that the concern ta, maintain Lot 21 as a walkway into the Village was not as great as eliminating any plans for the commercial development. We feel that there should be concerni in maintaining the walkway which is used totally by public school children and many aduits who dû walk ta the Villageand for children who also use; recreational services, within the Village. There is no guarantee that school children wîli be bused to the Orono Public 'School if the walkway is closed and here on must consider th e real problem of restraints that are being placed on Boards of Education and municipalities of a financial nature. Further if the walkway is losed trespassing wili become prevalent, ta residents in the' southern end of the sub-division because the flow of walk ta the Village has been established. It would be difficuit ta, elimninate a short cut. On the other hand the walkway should Pot become an Report froni Queen's Park Sami Cureatz, M.P.P., Durham East A few weeks aga there was a small demonstration on the site of the Darlingtan Nulear Station pratesting its develop- ment. Although I realize the right of each individuai ta voice his or her views, it is unfortunate that this group decîded ta take this route and subseq- uently be arrested -for tres- passing. There are always proper channels tao go thraugh and I hope these people act upon Enviranment Minister Geo- rge Kerr's invitation ta cal upon his office and present' their cancerns. I think most readers of this coiumn know mny stand on this issue. Since day one of my campaign I made it elear that I was totaily in favour of this praject, which wiil have a signîficant impact an the local economny la the area. Since that time 1 have been presented with a petition ta stop the station. This, of course, is contrary ta what I had said during rny cam- paigning and I feel totally unjustified ta suddeniy change my mind and present the gavernment with this request. Another controversial issue within the riding is Eldorado Nuclear Iimited's propased uranium refinery at Port Granby. Like the Dariington Gener- ating Station, the praposed Port Granby project wiil have a favaurable impact on econ- amic apportunities in the area. The mast direct ecanomîic impact wiii came from the provision of jobs. It is estimated that 130,000 man- w: days will bc required ta camplete construction. Eldor- ado hopes to begin construct- ion late this year, and complete the project in early 1980. Furthermore, the cast af the plant will be $80,000,000 and a significant amatint of materials will be purchased in the area. Another factor is that the campany, as a federal Crown Corporation, will be paying grants in lieu of taxes ta the local muncipal- ity. Although the construction of this uranium refinery will give a boost ta the local ecanomy, I arn concerned about the waste disposal dump wich is ta be located an the Port Granby site. Its a hard balanceand I hope that Eldorado will consider the plant without the dump. Speaking of the local ecan- amy and the job sitation, I hope I didn't lose any revenue for Don and Shirley Wilson, awners of the MacD onald Restaurant at Simcoe Street North and' Tauntan Roatd. Here I toiled under the capable direction of three iovely ladies, Gail Wilson, Debbie Drew and Paula Freeman, who were aid hands at serving Big Macs.
