Letter to editor ■mm Dear Editor: In regards to the article in last weeks issue of the Orono Times outlawing the use of al! terrain vehiclês and dirt bikes, I wish to express, express, my opinion. As a concerned young individual of the community, 1 feel I have been treated unfairly. I am the owner o'f my own all- terrain vehicle and dirt biice both of which I purchased myself. I have followed all provincial regulations such as plating and insuring my. vehicles. '. During the spring of 1988 the Ministry of Natural Resources published their users act and thanks to the support and involvement of the Ontario Motorcycle Association and local cyclists we were included. Now it appears as though in a unilateral move Mr. Cureatz and Mrs. Fawcett have removed a faction faction that originally and democratically decided the fair use of the Ganaraska Forest Region. This issue had already been discussed and environmental impact impact had been taken into consideration. consideration. It had been fairly and adequately adequately resolved leaving me only to conclude the latest movement was an act of self-serving politics ! I doubt that anyone will pay any attention to my writings. Least of all Mr. Cureatz, but the next time I hear a politician asking for trust, understanding, public input and other such glossaries I will remember the reality of this. Sincerely Yours, Brent Osmond Letter to editor The current renewed discussion about the "Meech Lake Accord" should be welcomed by all Canadians. Canadians. It is nearly two years now since Prime Minister Mulroney and the Provincial Premiers agreed on a formula to bring Quebec into con ; federation. The fact that this was done in secret and then presented as 'fait-accompli' has always bothered me and now,the discussion is giving Canadians a chance to debate this questionable deal. There has been a tendency to wring wring our collective hands and agonize about the- exclusion of Quebec in the final steps to the signing of the Canadian Constitution. Was it merely because the then Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau and Quebec Premier Rene Levesque distrusted and disliked each other? Or was there a deeper underlying reason? I like most Canadians over the past decade have thought that the solution to the apparent problem problem of a Two-Language country was to guarantee access to government government services anywhere in the country country in the language of your choice. Council Notes In no uncertain ter sns the Town of Newcastle council i s t0 he master of Town-owned prop erties - The decision cam 12 forth quite quickly on Monday when consideration consideration was given t° a Newcastle Community Services Advisory Board request. The Board requested that they wished to participate in the future utilization of the old arena lands in Bowmanville as it is a recreational facility being reutilized/transformed. reutilized/transformed. It was pointed out by members of We have all invested heavily in this search for a bi-lingual country and at least in English- Canada in the past few years have seen dramatic rises in the number of people becoming fluent in both of Canada's official languages. This was Trudeau's vision and he paid dearly for his efforts in English Canada because many felt he was pandering to the Francophones. I have been working in Quebec several days a week for the past - four months and I have now found the real reason that Levesque and other politicians in Quebec would not agree with Trudeau's attempt to bring Quebec into the mainstream through a policy of bi-lingualism: They don't want to be part of a bilingual bilingual Quebec. A bi-lingual Canada? Yes that gives access to services for the travelling francophone. francophone. The militant elements in Quebec have managed to convince the government of Bourrassa that his future lies in excluding English from the Province of Quebec in business, signs, practice and every part of daily life in Quebec. The official official road maps of the province now show not "Province De Quebec" but "Le Quebec" as a separate country. It is inconceivable that Prime Minister Mulroney defends the provision provision of special status for Quebec which leads to further demands for. "no English" in Quebec. This great country belongs to all of us whether we speak English or French. None of us should be excluded from any part of it. It is time for our politi-' cians to take a clear stand on this issue. Don't let the misguided views of a few militants change the future in ways unacceptable to our founders and the majority of Canadians Canadians today.

Hamre on Monday said it •was not an efficient use of time when two members of council were appointed to the same boards.

But it had to be tendered for. So one night after four I walked the two miles to the home of the secretary to give him my tender. It turned out there were ■ only two of us after the job and the other girl had asthma so the dust wouldn't be good for her. I got the job. I can't remember what it paid but I used all the money to buy War • Saving Stamps and I kept them in my grand-dad's safe. There was something very close about being the only pupil to stay in the school after four with the teacher. One night a big bat got into the school and I was a big help to her wielding my broom.
