2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 11th, 1980 ©trono ÎEeeMp Cimes Second Class Mail Registration Number 000368 , Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication Main Street, Orono Roy Ci Forrester, Editor « AN EXCELLENT PROPOSAL The planning department of the Town of Newcastle headed by Planning Director Don Smith has come forth with an excellent proposal ih that prior to preparing a hamlet development plan for Orono, Hampton and Mitchell's Comers a questionable be circulated in the respective citizens in the area which will come under study. The questionairre asks some basic simple questions and as well asks for comments from the local area citizens. The proposal does give every household the opportunity to present their views as to development in their area. It does noT require one to stand in public meetings or to be questioned on their proposals as has been the case in the past. It is a straight forward comment. This comer certainly supports the proposal and urges local citizens to provide the information and give comment on where they would like to see this community go over the next ten or twenty years. In the past for such hamlet development plans as for Tyrone or Newtonville the majority of the citizens have little input but rather the bulk of input comes from those who feel their land should be slated for development. In both Tyrone and especially for Newtonville the plan bends and weaves according to an apparent . pressure fnom development interests. The people of the community are forgotten as development pressures increase. If one were to be critical of the past hamlet plans it would have to be that they were only as they are called ... development plans. How many lots, how, soon, where and why. This gives very little indication of the future other than a numbers game. A recent article from the province pointed out that as goes the downtown area so goes the rest of the community and this view was substantiated from past history. Surely this must be an important factor of planning for the future and to maintain the vitality of the community. Its more than a numbers game with developers. Numbers are basic . . . they give little character for the future. It is often heard 'the family that prays or plays together stays together'. It must also be true in that the community that lives, shops and works within its confines are much the better for it. It just may be that such as the questionairre and comment proposal could give a greater depth of dimension to the plan for the Village of Orono. Certainly this is needed in the planning aspect of today. The community, any community, is made up of much more than the number of lots, cement and pavement. The importance of a community that lives, plays, shops and works together is much more paramount. It will be most interesting to see the "Smith" concept develop through his most recent proposal.

Bless the young new father - grinning, awed, proud and a little scared as he feels the tightly curling fingers of his first child. Keep him always close to that child, Lord. As loving and tender as he is now. But strong enough to meet its ever-growing demands. And oh, help him really to enjoy it. Laugh with it, talk with it, listen to it - be its friend as well as its dad. Bless the dad in the middle, Lord. The man who knows that raising kids Isn't just circuses and ball games, But bills and braces, discipline discipline and dissension sometimes. sometimes. Ease his aching bones, Lord and his often aching heart. And, oh, Lord, bless the old father too. The one looking back. The man who is no longer the mainspring of that strange, exasperating demanding demanding situation, a family. His views don't count any more - or so he thinks. He may even believe - wrongly - that he's no longer needed. You the Father of us all, surely know how each of these fathers feels. Comfort them, Lord. And help us their sons and daughters, to show them that we do appreciate them. That we love them fand feel very grateful that God gave us a glimpse of what He's really like - in them. God Bless Fathers. by Marjorie Holmes. The weatherman has told us that we will have a summer to extreme changes in weather.
