2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, May 18, 1983 LOTS OF DEBATE HERE The presentation of the Master Plan to the members of council for Culture and Recommendation should create considerable debate and comment especially as to the proposal of.setting up a special committee committee of local citizens and some Town staff to be know as the Newcastle Community Service Planning Board. We suspect the purpose of the Board is to bring citizen comment to the fore and as well help meld a community that through its geography is fragmented. The Board, of course, does not have the power of council, but it does have considerable influence or would have if it develops to the degree as suggested in the report. Many organizations will see it as creating further red tape and no doubt it will be case. On the other hand it could well bring a greater understanding of the Town's position in matters and the process in which recreation and culture could or should develop in the municipality. , The Town now has a Community Services Department and one might wonder where it would fit in with all recreational and cultural developments being directed through the new proposed committee. It would appear that the Town Department could well be reduced to maintenance programs and of course the continuation continuation of the operation of some of the Town facilities. Over the past couple of years the Town has opted out of certain programs, none-thedeast being the summer summer recreational park program, opting out of soccer administration administration and more recently taking steps to have such as the Bowmanville Figure Skating Club operate its own program. One may question where does this leave the Town in the position of recreation. The Master Plan did not address this question at all. Mayor Rickard makes the point that such a committee committee did operate in the Town for a couple of years but it fell by the wayside. There is likely little different from the proposal now before council than was the purpose of the earlier committee with representation from all across the municipality. We would think that people promoting a special program within the Town for either recreational purposes purposes or culture would like to speak directly to the elected members of council. After all they do have the final say and with some backing of Town policy should be able to give a concise and direct answer. No matter what the case for the main thrust of the Master Plan study it surely should bring forth considerable considerable debate. Here in Orono the minor sports programs have operated successfully for ÿears outside the scope of council and no doubt would wish to continue in that vein without too much interference. Orono Arena and new committee (Continued from page 1) of the two arenas. It was pointed out that the recommendations should not be construed as representing a lack of faith in the competence competence or resilience o£„the individual individual boards. , The Master Plan would not change in any way the operation operation of the two museums in the Town of Newcastle who would continue to operate separately and report directly to council. The report calls for the proposed Planning Board and council to continue to support the Solina Park Board in the development of a local park and that the project project be promoted by the Planning Planning Board. It also calls for the Planning Planning Board and Town Planning Planning staff to work closely with the Baseline Hall Board to locate a site for a new community community centre. The Master Plan suggests that the Memorial Outdoor pool in Bowmanville be abandoned abandoned and dismantled unless some organization wishes to continue with the operation and the expenditure of some . $10,000 worth of repairs. The plan asked that the proposed Board pursue an agreement with the School Board for upgrading of school sports fields which would add to accommodation accommodation of further use. Recommendations also in- >■ * eluded the installation of lights .at the Soper Creek baseball diamond, the Memorial Park north diamond, diamond, both in Bowmanville and the encouragement of a service club to assist in installation installation of lights at the Newcastle Village park playground. The Master Plan called for the replacement of the Bowmanville Arena preferably adjacent to the Fitness Centre at the Bowmanville High School prior to 1978. It is proposed that the arena be so constructed constructed that it could be expanded expanded to a twin pad. , The estimated costs was placed at $1.7 million. The report also suggested that financial involvement of the Town of Newcastle in capital projects not be more than twenty-five percent of the total cost.

Members of the group pointed to the Library area as a possible site for off-street parking and mention was also made of the property purchased purchased by the Canadian Imperial Imperial Bank of Commerce for a new bank as a possible site. Parking meters are a dead issue, in Orono. The local board will however consider some form of control which could be undertaken by the local group if it is found necessary. It was pointed out at the meeting that the Association was supporting the second annual Blossom Art Festival being held in the Orono Town Hall, May 20, 21 and 22.

In girls softball the Association has some six to seven teams registered and as well a good number of teams sponsored in soccer.
