Town treads ihetly on Museum sale of afActs by Shelley Allin Hockey supporters camne out Sunday evening to voice concemns about the future of hockey in Orono. As expected, different people want différent things from recreational to competitive hockey. One point which was agreed upon is that Orono like many other small centers just dont have the numbers to offer ail programs. The Orono Amateur Athletic Association are going to approacli other areas such as Newcastle, Courtice, Burketon etc to see if there is sufficient interest in having a House league here in Orono. It is unlikely that somne of the older boys will return to Orono after becoming established with BRHL, but the OAAA will be making a strong attempt to broaden sports in Orono to keep the new and upcoming hockey athietes here at home to make use of the Orono Arena to which many are very proud to have helped build. The OAAA will be looking into hav 'ing a Mite teamn this comiing season. Some parents in attendance were asking for a reles for their son to play hockey in Bowmanville. The future of "Rep" hockey and player movement within the Orono area can not be decîdeduntil, at Ieast, the OMHA Annual Meeting on June 15 in Toronto. Ray Rester and Art Reid, chainnen said that there will be an early registration this year, perhaps in July in order to look at the numbers and decide on which teains in Orono can be justified. The OAAA lias asked the public for support. If your child wants to play House Leaque, then give the OAAA a chance to get it off the ground. Many local residents put a lot of volunteer hours into helping pay for the new arena. Why give it away! Celi block to close Federal financial restraints are, hitting the Warkworth jail where a 40-cell block is t0 be closed. Staff reductions are also to, take place blrougli attrition. The Town of Newcastle elecied to tread lighily on a proposaI of the Bowmanville Museum bloard to dispose of artifacts that do flot fit into their prograru. A report from Communîty Services and a letter from the Museum Board was received on Monday by the General Purpose coninittee outlining the procedure to be held in the disposing of the artifacts. The procedure called for donors of the items to be notified of the proposed disposal and if they wished the items would be retumed. If donors had no use for the items they then were to be offered to other museumis. If there was no desire for the artifact it would then have been offered by public auction which was to be held at the Heritage Day celebration in Bowmanville on May 25th. The items not only included surplus artifacts at the Bowmanville Museumu but also a number of items that had been donated by the Gamet Rickard family and at one time displayed in the Log Cabin Museum in the Darlingtoni Provincial Park. Charles Taws, curator at the Bowmanville Museumu was present at the meeting and outlined the procedure to be followed and that it was his intent to so notify all donors prior to any further action. Counc. Hamre asked if the Rickard famnily lad been conitacted, to which Taws saîd they had but that he had flot as yet had a reply. Mayor Hubbard as well as Counc. Hainre spoke of the cost mnvolved in storage of artifacts and the cost of new buildings for storage was prohibitive. Taws said blini there lad been written consents by donors that the Museumn Board could take wliatever action witl donations. as they may sec fit. Counc. Hamre said that ultimately the items were the property of the Town of Newcastle and that the Town was responsible. She said council could be open to a lot of criticism if action was taken to dispose of the artifacts witlout proper procedure being followed. Most councillors expressed concerns and spoke of, tle sensitivity of the proposal. On a motion by Counc. Hainre a decision was deferred until a meeting of council this coming Monday . The motion asked that in the meantime a correction in mhe Museum letter be undertaken and tlat all artifacts that had been exhibited in the Log Cabin Museumn be listed.
