It was in the Cards for Dad 35c. a copy h h ~1III s 41 4 I I 4I~U 4 PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 27, 1990 Orono development committee ask that questionnaire be retured The Orono Development com- mittee has been holding regular meetings since the Orono Secon- dary Hamlet plan was brought forth at a public meeting held in Orono. The committee is or will make a presentation to the Planning Com- mittee of the Region of Durham in an effort to have the Region designate Orono as an Small Urban area. With such a designation it is hoped that services of water and sewers will eventually come to the Village allowing for a growth pat- tern of development to be under- taken. The local committee is anxious that citizens in Orono and area complete the recent sewer system questionnaire which was circulated throughout the Village. This is one of the procedures in determining the present stance of sewage disposal in the community on which to form a basis for future sewage plans. If residents have fnot completed the form and returned it to the Town the local committee asks that they do so in order that a complete overview of the situation can be tabulated. If the form has been misplaced one can be obtained at the office of the Orono Times. It only takes a few minutes to complete the form and mail it. You help Orono grow being a part of the undertaking through the completion of the form. When Robert Taylor of Orono saw the first light of day on June 17th, Father's Day, he had no idea what was in store for him. He was totally unaware of the hours of preparation for his Father's Day by his wife Colleen, and their three children, Christopher 7, Jason 14 and Lisa 11. Father's day is a day for father to relax but the three weeks of plann- ing by the family had Robert on the move with the ultimate happening at the Skywalk at the Toronto Skydome. An early morning visit by Melody Reid placed a boutonniere in his shirt and a package of direc- tions contained in four envelopes all properly numbered to be opened in sequence. The treasure hunt for the day took Robert and family to the GO station in Whitby where the bulletin board notice advanced the con- tingent to Union Station. Following instructions on the bulletin board at the station it was off to the CN Tower to take in the Tour of the Universe and then being ushered to Rookies' on the Skywalk. Robert said the ultimate happened when Rookies' president had the store open and Colleen presented the Father of the Day with a vintage Joe Montana rookie card. I couldn' believe it was happen- ing," states Robert, who is an avid collector of sports cards with about 25,000 in his collection in Orono. The Montana card holds a value of some $300.00 and Colleen states she doubts Bob would have ever bought it himself. "I've had a lot of help all along the way," states Colleen and its the least I could do for a good husband for eighteen years and three kids. Bob still shakes his head when talking about the day - one he will never forget nor will Colleen and the kids. Bob said he was introduced to sports card collecting by his brother-in-law and has since found that many in Orono are involved in collecting. "I started collecting the cards last December", and then he shows you 25,000 cards, plastized and neatly filed away. "I was completely blown away on father's day." Town holds off on rock concert approval A request for approval of a licence for Truly Amazing Produc- tions Ltd. to promote a Rock Con- cert at Mosport over the August long week-end did not m've council in their deliberations to do so. Bernie Kamin, Mosport Park, made the bid but stated that Mosport was neither the promoter or the organizer of the event. He did say that Mosport did have str- ingent conditions that had to be met by the promoter. Kamin also said that the purpose of the extention of time to include Friday to Monday was for the sole purpose of better traffic control to and from the park and to allow time to handle people attending. He said the park would be vacated by mid Monday. Kamin also said he had met with Town staff in the matter and asked that the condition of council approval be lifted from the condi tion for approval. Council did not support the request. Larry Kotseff, Town Ad- ministrator, said they were awaiting -î report from Mosport as to former L > ock festivals held at the park and that at time of receiving the letter legal staff would submit their report. Both Couns. Wotten and Hamre said they had had a number of calls of concern over the promotion. Wotten mentioned the Strawberry Fields Festival and the problem it had brought to the municipality. Kamin said a lot has been learn- ed since that venture both by Mosport, the police and the health departments. The issue still rests that the issu- ing of a licence still be subject to the approval of council. Council meets again on July 16th with a meeting of the General Purpose committee on Monday, July 9th. Stewart Wood rezoning shifts from 'Yes' to 'No' then maybe A by-law to amend the Com- prehensive Zoning By-law of the Town, submitted by Stewart Wood of Best Road north of Orono, went down to defeat at Monday's council meeting.

Hannah, Hamre In praise of Kinettes Kinsm en We would like to express our ap- preciation to all the Kinettes, Kinsmen, sponsors and helpers who made the first annual Pine Ridge Bike-a-thon such a huge success. It was a great way to spend the day, watching our own daughter and all the other riders enjoy such a safe and entertaining activity. The conbination of bicycle safe- ty, riding skill and just plain fun for the kids was terrific. The design and preparation of the course, the special area for the tricycles and their very own town, as well as the additional activities, made it a Sunday to remember. We are already looking forward to the second annual Bike-a-thon. Congratulations Kin on a job well done. Sincerely, Bob and Carol O'Neill Happenings ORONO TENNIS CLUB UNDEFEATED The Orono Tennis Club remains undefeated in their Intercub play with a tie against a Greenwood Club on Thursday evening last.

The rezoning by-law was defeated with Councs. Deegan, Hannah and Hooper voting against the by-law. Councs. Stapleton, Wotten and ac- ting Mayor Diane Hamre voted in favour of the by-law. The by-law was thus defeated. ' "What did we do with by-law 90-115?, asked Counc. Wotten. The acting mayor said it was defeated by a tie vote. Wotten was told it would take a two-thirds majority of council to put the issue back on the table. A simple majority would refer the by- law to the next meeting of council. On motion of Wotten and Deegan the issue was voted on again to have it appear on the next agen- da. The motion passed with support from Councs. Deegan, Stapleton, Wooten and acting Mayor Hamre. Councs. Hamre and Hooper voted against the referral. The group of citizens in the Best Road area, it is understood, are to make their obections known to the proposed rezoning to the Ontario Municipal Board.
