2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, March 20, 1991 Back afighter Every year the Easter Seal Society helps thousands of young people witlx physical disabilities to reach their potential. They are special people with a special need for assistance. It may be a wheeichair, special braces or other device that will enable them to get around better. And as the Society works year round with tixese young people there is also a special time that the general public cas help and that time bas corne again this year. The society is hopeful of raising some $5 million this year thxough their Easter Seat campaiga and that campaign is now well underway. The Bowmanville Rotary Club takes part in fixe canxpaign, and in doing their part are asking for public donations of $20,000 for the area of the Town of Newcastle. The club is asking that donations bc dropped off ait the Bowmanvile Branch of the Bank of Monireal which also save postage charges. Miake your commitment to-day to help a fighter. A new era? The Town counicil meeting on Monday directed most of its attention to a final draft Regional Official Plan wbich is expected to corne into force later this year. It certainly adds a large chunk of land in the Region for thxe purpose of what is now called "Living Area" for development of a residential nature. Frank Wu, planning director for the Town of Newcasfle did provide as excellent look int the aspects of planning at the meeting and just where we could be going. He also asked for a team approach to planning in volving not only bis department but coundcil members and with public involvement. He outlined the Regional plan as a broad-brush approacix asd that the specifics will corne through the development of a Town Official Plan expected to take a further two 10 tbree years. Thie local plas is to be developed by the Town's own planning department. The Regional plas does nothing for the Village of Orono even though the Town bas stated their support for the designation of Orono becoming a Small Urban Area. The Town still supports that aspect but then someone has to foot the bll and ibat somelxow or other cornes tbrough the Region and developers. There certainly is lots of room for improvement in planning our future asd especially in the area of protecting the environmient. Much of that depends to a great degree on the elected and thxe part the general public plays in making ils views known. Orono Junior Gardners welcome new members Hello again, friends of thxe Jr. Gardeners! At this exciting meeting on March 12, 1991, our head count, (members only) was 21. This rnônth, we had the privilege of welcoming 2 new members, Matthew and Adam. Also Mrs. Martin, former Jr. Gardener, is now our new assistant leader! As usual, we opened with the Gardeners Creed. Recause of the great nlumber of children and rnothers we joined five -6 foot tables together, just for seating! Our first acîivity was a spring roll cal. Mrs. Minnie Zegers (head leader) called out fixe naines of the children, and they answered with signs of spring that they had seen. Somte replies were trout, flowers and minnows. Jason Zegers brought a snowdrop flower frorn bis yard. We made plans for planting a garden and those who are not able to plant one, due to lack of space, have decided to plant a planter indoors. This year for variety, we are growing popcom. Tonighî we are doing a craft with baby jars. We are making a barrel to make as arrangement in for a show. We glued 20 halves ofl clofixes pins to the jar and took it home to paint. This project was not only fun, but it, also looked very nice upon finislxing. It looked rnuch like a sculpted barrel I would like to see beside your garden path, adomed with flowers. After fixe craft, we settled down and lîstened to a story read by Mrs. Mariin called Gardening is a Miracle. The story was about the importance asd fun, of successful gardening. It explained the neeti of a successful starîing point in children pertaining to gardening. The easiest way to achieve this goal is to start with bulbs. Bulbs, unlike snxaler seeds will not give you complications of blowing away in the wind and getting lost. The story explained to the children how the bulb looks on fixe inside and the way to plant a bulb. Two of the simplest bulbs to plant indoors is fihe (paper) white narsuris, fixe hyacinth. One pointer was given, that if you plant a hyacinth, and put it into a dark, cool place, youi will get a bloom much faster thaix in the daylight. Mrs. Zegers read a spring poem about flowers and gardening. The older chîldren are participating in a drawing competition calied moving forward. The winner will have his picture on the cover of fixe senior anniversary booklet. Now, until next month, Sandie DeVries P.S. Our next meeting will be held April 9flx. Town backs Urban désignation (Continued from page 1) recommending and supporting a Small Urbas ares designation.. King states that fixe Region has missed fixe mark and has ignored the request in i ts draft official plan. The chairman also said that Orono was- a centre with a difference - one that has accepted itsresponsibilities in the past. He mentioned the building of the Orono Mrena, the establishmnent of the pub lic library, the promotion of the Orono Fair one of the best in fixe district along with other achievements in the community. King referred to an engineering report that called for the need of a sewer system within the comnunity - a requirement for the health of its citizens. He suggested that council should read the entire report, which drew attention to the serious problern pertaining to the private septic systenis. He said the sewage report was undertaken in the dry montbs of the year and asked how much worse wouid the report have been if the study had been undertaken in the wet season. "We stand with you and will support alI efforts to resolve this problem," he said. "Orono a Smnal Urban Area." In a discussion on the Orono issue wbich followed the passing of the planning report Frank Wu, director of planning said it would not hurt to again submiî the request to the Region to designate Orono, a Small Urban Mres. To this end Counces. Hooper and Wotten presented a motion to such an end. It is likely that the Orono Developmenî comnitîee wili make another pitch with the Region of Durhamn to designate Orono a Srnall Urban AMca. During presentations pertaining to the Regional Officiai plan Julian Rowan, a member of Save The Ganaraska Again commitîe (SAGA) again cailed for a speciai Environmental Study Area be included in the officiaI plan in which areas as the Oak Ridge Moraine and others of an environmentai nature could be listed. He said that the headwater area of the Ganaraska would certainiy be included in such a designation, he would hope.

Effective July 2, 1991 the number of containers pernitted for collection on the weekly basis is to five. The report to council states thxe impact on the users in the four urban areas will be evaluated with the viewpoinî of reducing the number further sometime in the future.

In Newcastle the composters are available at Rekker Garden Centre west of Bowmanville. They seli for $20 for the conte composter and $26 for the wooden composter. The Region purchased 20,000 such composter for a trial run in Pickering where 2,100 had been sold as of December 1990. The report further outlines that the Region of Durham is further studying a fine .paper recycling plan. Some service is presently operating in the Region but new additions are not being included until the study has been completed. Plans are also underway at ihe Region level for thxe establishment of a central composting operation which would be operated by the private sector.
