Orôno Weekly Times, Wednesday, September 2nd, 1981 Wasting Human Resources continued been expected. After all Community Colleges were designed as a preparatory step to employment and it was through this level of education that we in Ontario were to keep pace with the changing world. Durham College seems to be doing just that being a leader in technology but students are an important part in the success of the promotion. Better continunications between the college, secondary education, the student and parents are the only salvation to correct the system which is now not running at full capacity. The College must gets its messae through to the high schools and the high schools through their guidance program must reach the students, Often we hear this is not the case at the secondary level and this cotiies from student's themselves. Guidance must be aggressive and up-to-date for anything less only tends to waste the human resource placed in their hands. Students must be encouraged to extend their capabilities and be made aware of the opportunities that lie ahead before they drop off into some of the mickey mouse courses to idle through high school. 1 It also is a responsibility of the parents to make sure that the option of education are open and wide enough so that doors are not closed at the Community College of University level. It has been too easy of late to take a lesser course at the secondary level and then to find that educational requirements for higher education are lacking to the point that these opportunities opportunities are not available. ' It is not only the individual that suffers through the wasting of a human resource but it is a waste to the community and the country and thus to all of society. Surely something as important as this can be turned around with a little effort on the part of everyone. Another step forward The Town of Newcastle has taken another step forward in creating a framework in which to deal with business relating to the promotion of recreation within the municipality. Although much has yet to be done in constructing this framework or creating a policy the first initial step has been taken. A month ago council approved a form to be used by those applying for grants which will give council members a much better understanding of each group or organization applying applying for funding from the municipality and as well council will be able to determine the need for the granting of funds. In the past there has been a lack of policy in making decisions with the result that each deoisionfor granting funds is made on an individual basis which can well lead to an unfair distribution of funds from the Town treasury. Mrs. Hamre in her comments on a User-Pay policy qotes some of these irregularities irregularities in grantings and no doubt there are others. Certainly the individual taxpayer in Orono and area not only help to support and totally finanace through public events the operations of the Orono Atheltic minor sports programs,* the skating club and the operation of the arena. Only a limited amount of Town money goes towards one of these promotions imthe Qrono area. But then the local Orono taxpayer after providing the funds for their own programs in also gets hit through taxation for the operation of arenas in other parts of the municipality and as well the Town promotion of minor sports and figure skating. There is an imbalance for those living in the Orono area all-be-it of their own making. , Councillor Haànre reports' on atténding a seminar on community services at the recent AMO convention and it is intersting intersting to note that the Provincial Ministry is still passing along the same word that it did some 25 years ago. In a nutshell nutshell the municipality may provide the framework for recreation recreation but the facilitating of. the program should come from those using the program. It is a User-Pay policy. No doubt there will still be considerable debate over a User-Pay policy but the fact that the Town appears ready to move on such a policy is eiicouraging. It is a much more business approach to the service, . They call it discrimination A group of young lads in the community are calling discrimination as a- result of not being able to compete in the adult amateur show at the Orono Fair. The fair committee is accepting acts other than rock groups and this has the local lads a little more than upset. "We have been practicing for three months in preparation preparation for the show and this happens", they state. They do make a valid point in the fact that a lot of young people like rock music and it would attract the young to the show boosting attendance to the fair and getting young people involved in the annual event in the Village, The committee has said it is a matt er of timing and alot- ting time for setting up. Tu this point we don't know of any change in the regulations. Minor hold-up in sidewalk project There has been a holdup on the re-construction work of the Orono business section sidewalks with the contractor having to leave the project unfinished near the corner of Main Street and Park Street, Before the work can proceed proceed further Bell Canada has to remove some lines to a temporary pole to allow the removal of one corner hydro pole. In speaking with Paul Kelcey he said he understood that Bell was to have completed completed their work on Saturday last but as the work had not been he was not sure at this point when it would be completed. completed. He said Newcastle Hydro have completed their work in the Village business area with the exception of installing installing three steel lights on the last side of Union Street. The remaining portion of the sidewalk project will be completed when Bell Canada re-locates their lines off the hydro pole on the corner of Main and Park Streets. Agricultural Tour in . Durham by: Rod Stork, Associate Agricultural representative AGRICULTURAL TOUR PLANNED-Four years ago an enthusiastic group of farmers representing various commodity groups in Durham got together to discuss Public Relations. What could framing have to do with public relations, you may ask. It was the feeling feeling of the agricultural community community that farmers had to do better job of telling people about today's modern agriculture and the highly technological world of farming. farming. At first the committee had trouble deciding what activities activities they could carry out in order to make the public mote aware of agriculture and what it means to the area. Finally, it was decided to .hold'a farm bus tour. Media people, bankers, elected officials officials and others went on a tour of a number of well managed, successful farm businesses. At each stop they were able to hear firsthand from the- farmer. They heard of the successes, the satisfactions satisfactions and the problems. Following the tour a series of articles were done looking in "more detail art; the farming industry. A brochure [copies available at the Agricultural Office] talking about agriculture was prepared.

User Pay policy Continued from page 1 hands prior to budget meetings in order that any move to a User Pay Policy - may be implemented in the Town's operation in 1982. Counc. Hamre, who supports supports some move to,a User Pay Policy for many of the i Town recreational programmes programmes has said there is a need to 'eliminate duplications between between the Town, the YWÇA, the School Board and program program offered by individuals or groups of individuals. Hamre also voices a need for an equitable policy in promoting promoting recreation across the whole of the municipality. She said such a system could bring about considerable savings savings to local taxpayers. Hamre uses as an example figure skating costs to the Town - . Treasury from Bowmanville, Newcastle Village atid Orono. She points out that it is costing the Town of Newcastle Newcastle taxpayers some $25,000 to $30, -OOQ td support figure skating in Bowmanville; and from $16,000 to $20,000 for financial support to Figure Skatirig in Newcastle Village. Hamre states the Town gives a grant to the Orono Figure Skating Club of $2,000.00 The big difference between the three centres she said is the amount of volunteer help given in the three centres.
