2--Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 30th, 1976 Orono Weekly an impossible dream Thg Town of Newcastle council on Monday night were called together to what must have been the impossible dream. The intent of the meeting was to initiate a concerted • and united front for their presentation regarding planning in the Town to be discussed at the regional council. It was a fine objective for the meeting, one which was not accomplished. Realization that individuals were involved it is not surprising the outcome of the meeting. The Newcastle council has never been an united council and there are some deep opposite views on certain subjects, planning not being one of the least. Further those elected to regional council from the Town of Newcastle do have a free voice when it comes to regional matters even though their local municipal council may vote otherwise. The opinion of the individual in this case is separate from that of their home council. Certainly in the eyes of most it would appear much better if a municipal council could have its views presented with an united front but under the present setup of the regional system this can easily be broken by a strong will for another cause. Newcastle is not alone in this matter as Oshawa has witnessed much the same in other matters and it will continue under our democratic system as now devised. A NEW AWARENESS Over the past two or three years a new awareness seems to have been kindled regarding the Ganaraska Forests in the northern section of this area. In the 40s, 50s and 60s the area was considered as the reserve for water to eliminate flooding in down stream areas and to help control erosion of the fine soil in the area. This was a commendable project with far-reaching foresight. It has been a sücçess. Although this along with timber production should be a prime concern the forest is rapidly developing into a recreational area and at the present time very much uncontrolled. The pressure for. such will continue and increase and quite likely to the point of some distruction if controls are not now considered for the near future. Already conflicting uses are causing concern. Unfortunately controls become a necessity and to this end traffic in the forest for recreation is nearing a climax. LETTER TO EDITOR Perhaps a few items of interest here. Recently, as many of you know, we the residents of Port .Granby formed an organization called S.E.A.P. (Save Enviremental Atomic Pollution). The organization organization is for the whole Town Newcastle and Hope Township. Township. We are in opposition to the present Eldorado radio active dump there and any expansion to it.

Nor is our quarrel with the land owners or our neighbours in Port Hope. Wé only mean to protect what is ours with utmost vigor and we shartt be pushed around. We've got the Wesleyville thing hundreds of acres of prime farm land shot. We almost got Toronto's garbage, now is a radio active dumping haven, not to mention the threat of a tannery and the Oshawa airport. We of Port Granby have just been blessed with too many things and its time to take a stand. „ Well we say NO, NO MORE. Councillor Lyall has been the target of much blame for our actions and is looked upon as a rabble rouser by some who wish he'd go away. This is 1 false. Councillor Lyall never contacted us with regàrds to the Eldorado Holdings, we got him. We are involving him'in things, he ! s not involving us. The lady Councillor who doesn't like us clamouring hordes (who have the nerve to try_ to protect what is ours) has said that these people from Port Granby are becoming becoming known .as the bunch who object to everything that comes along.

Orono sewers still a possibility LETTER TO THE EDITOR. I would like to write a reply to Mary Jane Tompkins letter regarding. some misleading statements. In any other municipality the Director of Recreation is responsible for all recreation regardless who set it up, while talking to the Assistant Director Director he informs us that he had drawn up the schedule and made arrangements for getting getting parks for these games. Perhaps this is where I have been misinformed as I had not heard about the Ladies' Lob Ball paying his salary. Also, Mary Jane neglected to mention there were other girls wishing sto play ball besides my daughter. Thanks again Editor. Still a concerned father ' and Taxpayer, ' Aleck Moffat.
