The mayor had asked that questions be in writing some lime before the meeting s0 she could do her home work and corne 10 the meeting informed. 1In answer 10 the question of dismantling the Region of Durham and becoming part of the GTA Services Board, the mayor said it was her gut feel- ing that people in this munici- pality want nothing to do with the GTA. Clarington's taxes have been assessed on market value since 1979 and were updated in 1984. Oshawa and Whitby have been using 1950 rates for their assessrnenîs. An alternate entrance 11110 Orono was brought up again, and the need for a flashing light at the intersection of Main and Mill Sts. were dis- cussed. In response 10 a question about the state of the Orono Hotel, the Mayor said that a demolition permit would be issued this week. If the business community comes up with a plan for addi- tional parking space that the residents of Orono can agree with, the town would be wilI- ing 10 work with us on devel- oping these spaces. Murray Taylor brought up the fact that a Downtown Orono needs a healthy Mosport. A good race week- end brings lots of people to Orono 10 buy staples. The Mayor reported that the new noise by-law would be one that ail parties could work with. In regards 10 the Forestry Station, Mayor Hamre said the Ministry would soon be asking for proposais. In ils present (continued page 2) Local artist donates mural The north wall of the Beckers store in Orono has been yelling "mural" 10 artist Dave Storey for quite a while now. This spring, afler obtain- ing permission 10 paint the wall, Storey went 10 the Clarke museum and looked at prints.of Orono in the early 1900's. One half of the mural will depiet the former train station and the other haîf will show what the hotel used 10 look like. Storey is donating his talent and bis spare lime 10 the pro- jeet that will take most of the summer 10 complete. Orono Fuel and Lumber bas donated some of the paint and for the rest Storey is using recycled paint. A native of Springhill Nova Scotia, Storey now catis Orono home.
