2-()ronb Wcvkh Times,. Wednesday, September 27, 1989 (Droite Weekly Etmes SmmdVJass Mail Registration Number 000366 Published Kvery Wednesday at the office of Publication Mam Street, Orono Roy lForrester, Editor Example better than words Bobby Orr, one of the greats in the sport of hockey, in speaking to an audience of 300 at the Skate '88 banquet recently made the statement that example was greater than the spoken word in setting a good pattern of life-style for our youth. In his address he was denouncing the use of drugs and the acts of holliganism which has been plaquing not only hockey but most other sports. . How true and as Orr stated we all have a great deal to contribute in setting a good example and thus setting others of a younger age on the right course. He also made another good point in that we must speak out when wrongs are being made. It reminded us of a plea being made to the Town of Newcastle council asking for a reduction in charges to operate the bar at the new Bowmanville Arena complex. The event was a major minor hockey tournament that went over a number of days. We presume the bar was to be open throughout the period of the tournament. Astutely councillor Frank Stapleton asked why it was necessary to open a liquor and beer bar for a minor hockey tournament? A good question. Certainly is was not for the young participants. No one would expect any great problem and no doubt there wasn't but it fits into what Orr was saying. -Surely a minor hockey tournament did not require booze. There was an opportunity lost to set a good example and councillor Stapleton dared to speak out. Example is a good teacher, better than words. Agreement framework set Although the Town of Newcastle and Ontario Hydro have come to an agreement the matter is yet far being resolved and the issue of building permits fees, in total, has yet to be established. At least both parties have set a frame work and outstanding building permits fees have been paid dating back to 1981 in an amount of $1,042,000. This figure is still to be negotiated for it has been devised only by Ontario Hydro. As well Ontario Hydro has agreed to an large involvement involvement in fire protection that could well be used at the plant and this is certainly justified as their demand surpass anything that would have been required by the Town. The issue of building permit fees will likely go to ar- britation and a escrow fund has been set up of $2 million dollars but the avenue is open requiring Hydro to provide more funds if through the arbritation process it is found that the escrow fund will not cover the total cost. It is surprising to learn that Ontario Hydro has in some cases obtained building p-ermits but failed to pay the fee. It also appears from the agreement document that Hydro has jn other cases proceeded without the issuance of a building permit. permit. * Certainly the Town is justified and can surely expect Hydro to meet its commitments in this community. It is also surprising that this issue has only surfaced within the last year and one might say there has been some negligance on the part of the Town in not demanding earlier that such payments be made. • The agreement as noted inmost of the press in the last few days is only the beginrtmg of a process in reaching at a settlement. It does appear to be fair to both parties and at the same time delegating the responsibility to all parties and that # they accept this responsibility. and the INCOMPARABLE PREMIUM QUALITY SALES - SERVICE - SUPPLIES NEW - Purelux Water Purification System "FREE PICK UP * DELIVERY" Call Jim 987-1313 ELECTROLUX CANADA 1 Mill St. N., Newcastle Letter to the Editor saving efforts were all for rot. 1 sav- Dear Roy: Just wanted 10 let your readers know that way up l' ere in Reaboro I am not frothing at the mouth, nor am I chasing cars past the farmhouse. farmhouse.

Seriously, though, the chipmunk was free of all-diseases, but my life Construction completed in November (Continued from page 1) At the time of speaking with Don Patterson, last Friday, he said they had some concern on what damage may be done by the storm Hugo which was expected to bring in considerable considerable rainfall. He said this could make for a problem with the new construction but were keeping their fingers crossed. When the job is completed costing some $800,000 there will be a great improvëment in downtown Orono. Town and Hydro come to terms (Continued from page 1) will be ongoing." She also said it sets a course for public safety, a most important feature for the citizens of the municipality. In speaking of their appearance ■ before the Atomic Energy Control Board recently she said, "It was no mean piece of business on the part of the Town and its staff". "We have many benefits", she said, "you have put in a process which is very sound". Counc. Larry Hannah said he was surprised over the Oshawa article article but stated everyone has a right to differ. He said that since he has been on council he has not seen any document document to suggest and offer had been made to the Town by Hydro. In commenting on the agreement, Hannah said, "It is designed to bring bring maximum benefits to the Town and its citizens." "There, is a lot more than appears'on the surface," Counc Hamre said it had not been easy taking on the giant (Ontario (Ontario Hydro). She said it appeared common practice for Ontario Hydro to not obtain building permits permits and as such how was the Town to know of the safety factors in the construction. Counc. Hamre said it was owed to the people of the municipality not council members. Under the agreement Ontario .Hydro will pay $2,257,000 to the Town with a further $2 million being being held in escrow while outstanding outstanding building permit fees are agreed upon between the two parties or through arbitration. Ontario Hydro has agreed to payment payment of building permit fees at the present time in the amount of $1,042,000. Further the two parties have agreed to a payment by Hydro of $115,000 for land "in the south of Bowmanville for a new fire station and a further maximum of $1 million for the new fire station which is scheduled to be built by 1995. Hydro will provide $50,000 for a new communication system and a further $50*000 for a 'fire'training centre to be built in Newcastle or in the Region of Durham. In the meantime Ontario Hydro will ,be responsible for fire protection protection at the Darlington plant until such time as Newcastle feels they are prepared to take over. The $2 million in escrow will be considered through further negotia nt him from the jaws of death only to die by the hands of government. When being prepared, one must also be selective. I now realize that these life saving techniques should only be used on domesticated, toothless animals such as Barb's budgie. Debbie Bourne Fined $103.75 for illegal truck parking According to Duncan Legget, • senior By-law Enforcement Officer with the Town of Newcastle, Mel Hartwig and Roger Major of Main Street North- Orono were both found guilty of charges laid con- trovening regulations of the Town's Zoning by-law. Both were fined $103.75 by the circuit Justice. of the" Peace on September 19th at a court hearing. The by-law does, not allow the parking of heavy commercial vehicles in the residential zone. Legget said he believed that both parties were going to cease such parking. He noted that the Town department investigates on a complaint complaint basis. The issue of the parking of commercial commercial vehicles in the area has been an issue that has been before the Town of Newcastle for some three years. ; Town charging $12.00 for receipt George Brooks of Bowmanville addressed council on Monday at which time said he had required a receipt of payment of his municipal taxes for income tax purposes. When he sent his bill that was stamped paid it was returned by the tax department stating that they required required a receipt. He said he went to the Town for such a receipt, which is always available from any business,and was,told it would cost him $12.00. He said he could not afford the $12.00 and in fact such receipts are given freely all other places. On motion by Counc. Deegan the treasury is to supply Brooks with a receipt and a review is to be made of the particular town policy. tions through arbitration of agreement agreement on the part of both parties. Both the Town and Flydro have agreed to re-activate the Newcastle Hydro Liaison committee which the Town has shunned since their disagreement with the corporation.
