2-Orono Weekly Times. Wednesday, May 20, 1987 Second Class Mail RaglstriiUun Number A0ftfl6fl Published Every Wednesday al the office of Publication Main Street, J ,reno Hoy C. Forrester, Editor 1 A continuing issue A letter to council over a proposed parking lot using a portion of the south lawn at the Clarke Public Library opened considerable debate last week in the downtown area. Opinions Opinions expressed were rather diverse and we wonder if we didn't have parking to talk about what would we talk about. We agree with Mrs. Crashley that it is a shame to use the only mid-town green area for a parking lot and we would further agree that it is most unlikely that customers to the downtown area would use a lot so located when as she stated customers want to park in front of the place of business they are about to patronize. It was not the intention of council to use taxpayers' money for the lot but rather funds accumulated from parking meters in Bowman ville. This, however, is not a firm, chiselled in stone, decision, as we would see it. Those that now abuse the parking regulations in the business area are going to continue to do so and the condition they create will still 'exist unless stiffer enforcement can be undertaken, possible tow-away. We firmly believe that more can be done by some businesses and landlords to provide their own parking and parking for their tenants. This would require an initiative and some co-operation between owners especially on the west side of the business section. In one centre a solution was found when owners and employees gave up their own parking spaces for customers and parked some block and a half from their places of business. A clear indication that the customer does come first. One could question the severity of the parking problem problem in Orono as to customer parking. A survey was taken late last November and December on twenty-four different occasions and only once, a Saturday, were more than the fifty legal parking spaces taken. At that particular time there was one business vehicle and eight tenant vehicles parked in the downtown area. Only on one other occasion did capacity come close to the fifty mark and that was 46 of which eight were businesses and tenants and again a Saturday. During the twenty-four occasions the survey was made a total of 712 customer cars were parked in the business section section along with 62 business vehicles and 85 tenant vehicles which respectively took up 7.2 and 10 percent of the parking spaces. It has been suggested that the downtown area could have an unique back-lot park-like area to include off-street parking behind the businesses on the west side. This property was purchased by the .Township in 1967 as a Centennial project project and was intended for some form of park. The idea has been dormant for the past fifteen years. But as stated there is access to the property at various points in the downtown area. It may take a co-operative spirit by private land-owners. Greater consideration should be given for a quick-fix solution is not always the best answer. li HAS TO HAPPEN It appears it has to happen every so often - the loss of our pictures pictures and this was the case this past week - and we did have film in the camera - the most asked question as we travel around the com- murfity with the camera. ", Apparently the film did not sit properly on the sprocket as we loaded the camera resulting in the film not advancing as we took our pictures. ' Unfortunately we cannot turn time back and have to live with the result. Better luck next week.

If you have only a few webs in your trees spray them with Raid or any insect spray but do it now. The old fashioned way was to soak a cloth in coal oil, wrap it around the end of a long iron rod, tie it on securely with twine then set it ablaze and burn up the web. If you don't they become the army worm and eat all the leaves in their path. Then later in the season there will be a second brood of tent caterillars. They will kill the trees. The Kendal Women's Institute met at the home of Mrs. Janet Dykeman on May 14th with ten members present. The President opened the meeting with the Ode and the Mary Stewart collect.

When full the bins are transported to the Pickering Pickering site dump. In the matter of garbage disposal Gary Herrema, regional chairman, recently stated that the region could he faced with a multi-million dollar task of finding its own dump site for the future. He said there is now some doubt that Durham will be able to participate participate with Metro Toronto in the sighting of a new dump to replace the Brock west dump, Pickering, which is due to close in mid 1989. Metro Toronto has two certificates certificates to operate garbage disposal at two sites in Pickering which they had intended to use when Brock West closed, on an interim basis. It is now felt that the certificates could be invalid due to new environmental environmental assessment procedures. Herrema said the .Region may be in a position that it-has nowtiere to dispose of its garbage when the West Brock site closes. He said the Region must now take a serious look at other alternatives alternatives including a site of ifs own. He said such a site could cost up to $10 million, more than the cost of a new administrative buildipg. The region did plqce $275,000 in a waste disposal reserve fund this spring durijig budgeting for 1987. Metro has been planning since 1980 to open two further dump sites in Pickering. Both Pickering and Ajax councils have objected to locating any new "dump sites in Pickering. the District Annual $207.00.

Pathology is the science of the origin, nature and course of disease. In 1865 an act was passed to prevent the spread of disorders in animals. One of the first diseases she referred referred to was Brucellosis infection which cause abortion in animals and when people get it, perhaps by drinking the milk of infected ' animals, it causes undulant fever. This writer remembers the first time I heard of it; Jack Reid as a lad was very ill with undulant fever. The next time I heard of undulant fever was in 1945. A soldier with his wife and child came to live in the vacant house across the road. The owner of. the house brought the family milk each morning from his herd. This veteran took sick. The doctor was puzzled. "How does it act?" the doctor enquired. He said, "When it comes on, this whole bed will shake." Just then it happened. The doctor enquired, "Where do you get your milk?" The soldier was in hospital for months. When Brucellosis gets in a herd of cows or sheep the herd must be slaughtered. Today Ontario is declared^ a brucellosis free province on September 9, 1985. There have been no outbreaks since March 1984. ' Foot and mouth ,is a bad disease which affects cattle.'She mentioned other diseases, one was glanders a contagious disease of horses that man may get. ' A swelling comes beneath the 'jaws and there is a discharge from the nostrils. Rabies is another disease carried bv foxes. You can be fined $5,000.00 if you fail to have your cat pr dog vaccinated. vaccinated. t , Mrs. Steven's son ur. John Stevens of Ottawa is head of the Microbiology Service there. His specialty is pig diseases. All'imported animals must spend a period in quarantine during which time they are closely inspected. There are eight laboratories across Canada dealing with animal diseases. Mrs. Stevens also touched on the problem of salmonella poisoning from poultry products. Lunch was provided by Mrs. J. Dykeman. Our next meeting will be June 11th at the home of Mrs. E. Terrill. * • Correction - The Russians worship worship Lenin not. the city of Leningrad. Leningrad. There, was a man who would always say to his wife. "You go to church for both of us." One night he dreamed that he and his wife died and came together to heaven's gate, St. Peter asked "Are you Mr. and Mrs. Smith?" Thé couple nodded nodded their heads in the affirmative. "Well, Mrs. Smith can come in for both of you!" declared St. Peter. Sunday School poetry can be quite original. Here is one.
