2--Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, July 30th, 1975 pP-- nwiH|j^ an editorial ^-------- ' PROVINCE REFUSES $150,000 REQUEST The Province of Ontario has refused a request from the Town of Newcastle which had a financial stipulation of ' $150,000. The money was to be used by the Town to assist them gaining information concerning the impact the proposed Darlington generating station may have on the Town as well as providing funds to hire a consultant knowledgeable in nuclear plants to question Hydro over the proposed Darlington development. The Province was certainly in their right to refuse the money for this purpose. Surely the Province and Hydro have the expertise to provide information regarding the nuclear plant as to impact in the community and as to the safety of the plant. If they do not have this imformation then it is time they were replaced with bodies capable of handling such developments. It appears that the Town does not trust the wisdom of either the province or hydro. This surely is an unfounded trust. It could well be that the Town in some of their enterprises may be questioned by the general public -and would it then be the Town's position to provide funds for any group to make an in depth study of the proposal before council took action. The general public must have faith in their elected representatives and in amny cases have to depend on wisdom of council to have properly studied a proposal before making it law. We would have been very surprised indeed if the province had ruled in favour of the request from the Town. COMPLETING THE CYCLE For those that long for the good old days it may well be that their wish may become a reality. Of course they will be going back further than they may desire - the cave man period in the history of man. Man has come to beleive that he has conquered life on the earth surface and during the past two decades has travelled most successfully into space. It can hardly be said that we live on the earth or in space in harmony with those things we cannot control. There is certainly much mosre to be done to attain this end, if the end can be reached. It is most ineresting that consideration is now being given to the use of underground space. The Ministry of Industry and Tourism in co-operation with the Mihistries of the Environment and Natural Resources is conducting a one-day seminar on Agugust 6th in Toronto to outline the development and use of underground space. A Dr. Truman Stauffer of the University of Missouri and a recognized leader in underground space use, will be the key note speaker. The speaker will update the development and use of underground space in the Kansas city area and following a tour of Ontario will comment on potentital underground development in various Ontario regions. The thought readily come to mind that the use of underground space could in many instances eliminate some of the unwanted sites that are so often create a front of objection. Some underground development may concern energy in this locale of the northern hemisphere something which man come face to face with in the very near future. It may also have other environmental improvement to those procedures we now follow. Make no mistake there will be problems but let us hope that in this case these problems can be seen prior to any major underground development. UNDERSTANDABLE A group of citizens from the ' Orono Estates have objected to any plan that would open a south entrance from the development into Orono. Such a development would produce three byways into the Orono Estates, a number which is hardly warranted. It is understandable that the residents of the subdivision would oppose such a scheme. It would certainly increase traffic on the subdivision streets and especially those in the southern end which would be connected directly to one of Orono's main streets. The Estates would hardly remain a quite residential area if further opened up by another entrance. The design of the interior roads is not compatable to carrying through traffic that may result for a portion of Orono residents wishing a route to the Tauton road. It would also encourage Sunday drivers into the area which now does not exist to any great degree. With these thoughts in mind, and with the intent of keeping Orono Estates a residential area, it seems rather contradictory to consider the construction of a commercial outlet on the border of the subdivision. This commercial enterprise cannot solely survive on the eighty some homes in the development and must in some manner must depend on some outside patronage. This will, in the end, increase traffic to the Estates and defeat the objections to the Orono entrance road. A commercial enterprise in Orono Estates is the beginning of change from the residential aspect of the development. KEN COATHAM Ken Coatham, son of Mr, and Mrs. Ted Coatham, Orono, and a grade 11 student of Clarke High School was chosen as a "Young Voyageur" Voyageur" through a federal-provincial federal-provincial program. He left from Cobourg on Friday for Ottawa where the group visited until July 28th. Ken and his fellow traveller then flew to East- end, Saskatchewan, where they will view the sights to return home on August 5th. Mr. Fred Vagg and his bandsaw worked together for a period of nineteen years at Curvply putting out thousands upon thousands of dimension al pieces for numerous customers customers throughout North A- merica. On Friday Fred retired from his job after nineteen years at the same stand. Fred is considered by his fellow workers one of the most conscientious and willing willing workers at the plant. This is what Ontario is doing to stabilize the income of beef calf producers. Your provincial government has recently established the Ontario Beef Calf Income Stabilization Program-a voluntary program designed to: • stabilize the income of recognized beef calf producers in Ontario; • encourage a continuing steady supply of Ontario-produced beef stocker calves. It will establish a floor on the amount of money a producer may expect to receive in years of poor calf prices. Every producer of beef calves in the province (including cream shippers) is eligible eligible to participate in this program, which forms the first part of an overall Farm Income Income Stabilization policy. You can participate, participate, by contracting to join the program for a five-year period and by paying an annual fee for every eligible beef cow you enroll in the program. Your Ontario government will also contribute to the program. For 1975, your fee will be $5 per cow, however, for this year fees are deferred until payments to producers are made. The provincial government contracts to make a grant per cow to participating producers if the average market price for Ontario- produced stocker calves falls below the stabilized price of 50<t per pound in 1975. Payments will be made in December or as soon as possible thereafter. The enrollment period for eligible producers producers in 1975 ends August 31, Complete information on the program, as well as enrollment form and contracts, are available at your local office of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
