"It's a ridiculous By-law", says Kay Lycett, an Orono lawyer. "The enforcement of such a By-law is just going to cause problems." Councillor Woodyard is one-hundred per cent against it. "1 don't think it's practical", says Woodyard, adding, "It's almost impossi- ble to enforce in its present state." Several provisions of the By- law include the following: the ringing of bells, blowing of horns, shouting or 'any unusual noise, or noise likely to disturb the inhabitants of the Town of Newcastle' is prohibited; noises made by power lawnmowers, out- board motors or similar power motors are deemed likely to disturb the in- habitants of Newcastle; and 'any noise which may be heard beyond the lot upon HERITAGE DAY COMING Reserve Saturday, June 15th for the Newcastle Village and District Historial Society's annual "Heritage Day" being held at the Newcastle Community Hall - 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. - Dance 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. "Dancing Through the Decades" the big band sound of "The Royals" of Cobourg. CONSTRUCTION BEGINS ON COMMUNITY CENTRE Construction for a community centre on Baseline Road in Bowmanville will begin June 17, 1985 and completion of the project is expected eighteen weeks thereafter. Gerr Construction Limited has been awarded the con- tract to construct the Base Line Community Centre that is to be funded from Expropriation Proceeds - Community Centre Reserve Fund and the provincial grant at a total cost of $290,00.00.

These provisions and others included in the By-law will be enforced on a complaint basis by the Durham Regional Police Force. Those found guilty of violating the proposed By- law may be required to pay a fine between $50.00 - $1000.00 for a first offence and between $100.00 - $1000.00 for a second or subsequent offense. Lycett feels the provisions of the proposed By-law limit and stifle the normal use of ones property, owned or rented, and that either objec- tion should be lodged to its passing or exemption sought from its application by everyone that may be af- fected. Included in the proposal is a grant of exemption by Coun- cil. Individuals may apply to Council for exemption and by amending the By-law, ex- emptions will be granted. Written objections to an original noise By-law have resulted in exemption of larger local noise offenders from the present proposed By-law. These include the following: Mosport Park, Curvply Wood Products Ltd., Orono Fish and Hunt Club, Union Rod and Gun Club, Oshawa Ski Club, al agricultural properties and licensed pit and quarry opera- tions. Problems surrounding the proposed By-law's enforce- ment appear to have stirred~ up the most controversy. Counc. Woodyard feels the By-law will be costly to en- e (Continued page 2) downtown business section.
