4-Orflo Weekly Times, Wednesday, February 2nd, 1977 ORONO HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY (Cotinued from page 1) called "Pot luck", but in name only. There were dishes to suit every palate, al the way fromn a Hawaiin Casser- ole to a wide selection of mouth-watering desserts. Pfter supper, Joan Couvier introduced the head table guests, Mr. and Mrs. Clar- ence Tink, Adele McGilI, Doreen Wood, Rev. and Mrs. B. Long, and Isabelle Chal- lice. Mr. Tink, District Direc- tor, brought greetings from the Ontario Horticultural Ass. and expressed his own per- sonal thanks for being invited to attend. He rnentioned that the provincial convention will be held in Windsor this year in June and also suggested that it should be well worthwhile attending a gardening semin- ar to be held on March 12 at Sir Sandford Fleming College in Lindsay. The president, on behaîf of Minnie Zegers, leader of the Junior, Gardeners, presented junior Service certificates "for outstanding efforts in horticulture" to Karen Atkins and Elsa Vogel. Everett Brown read the list of members nominated for of- fice in 1977 and the meeting was turned over to Mr. Tink who, after asking for any further nominations, declar- ed the nominees duly elected. The new president, Isabelle Challîce, wielcomned the new executive and then called on Bertha Touchburn and Min- nie Zegers to report on the flower shows hield in 1976 and on the activities. of the Junior Gardexers. These fornmalities ended the business meeting and, without ado, Gladys Brown proceeded to captivate the audience with her own rendition of several old fav- ourite musical numrbers on the organ. For our further enjoyment, Gladys was then joined by Bill Ranstead, noted guitarist frorn Oshawa, and, after a most delightful perf or- manice by both artists, our organist for the evening turned to the piano to accompany Charlie Taylor, who gave is usual inost enjoyable performance Qn the violin. Back to the organ and joined this time by Rev. Long, who made his debut this week as a violinist, we were given a further musical treat as we listened to the haunting refrains of Rose of Tralee, Amazing Grace, and How Great Thoui Art. With Bill once again on the guitar and Gladys at th.e organ, the tempo qmickened to brîng the musical treat to a close with several more old time favour- ites. President Isabelle Challice thanked ail who had particip- ated in the musical pro- gramme with special thanks ind a bouquet to Gladys 3rown. Special Thanks are ilso extended to Mr. Peter- sen, Petersen Music Com- pany, Oshawa, who supplied the organ free of charge for this special occasion. An evening to remember. Orono Landscaping COMMITTEE OPPOSES ARENA ON SAME ORONO SITE (Continued fromn page 1) present site with some adjust- ments to the side yard on the east as well as front and back yards. To do teis a variance must be received from the Committee as requiremnents did not meet the demands of the Town's regulations. It was pointed out by thee fair president that two other sites did exist on the property but were much less suitable to tee Society as the Society wished to incorporate a new grandstand onto tee building and this was only practical on the west side of the track. Peter Flemning outlined par- king facilities which could be set-up to service the bulding. These lots were in the north-west corner of, the property where now up to 25 cars can be parked. He also outlined a parking lot at. the south which could service the arena building and that people using this lot would in fact bc as close as those using the services at the Oshawa Civic Centre. He also noted a lot to the north which'was not as accessible to the proposed new construction as the oteer two lots. Mrs. Madeline Williams, a member of the Comm-ittee of Adjustment, stated that what was being asked was consid- erably more than a minor adjustment and noted that the comm-,ittee would have to recognize tha t tne Open space area was abutting Ri residen- tial zone. Mr. Muir pointed out that the fair board was wantfing to put the new building back into a crampled area and that possibly the board should be looking further ahead. Mlr. Rickard stated that the board had been giving the whole matter a lot of consid- eration over the past four years and that even if the Society were to sell the twenty acres in Orono they would not have enough reven- ue from the sale to relocate the fair grouinds in any other area. "I feel as timne goes on, and population increases these green areas wvill be mnost important", he said. Hle continued "that the arena on this location would ensure a green area in the Orono Vilagce and that this might be a lot better than further housing or a shopping cen- tre. " Mr, E.R. Woodyard spoke on behaîf of those on the street objecting to the grant- ing of the variance who saîd the area residents were concerned over parking and he pointed out that not only the arena caused the problema but that also only the same street there existed a funeral home and a church with their activities. He also said that local residents were concer- ned over extra activities that may be associated with the arena if a community roomn was to be included in the proposed new arena building. Some people, he said, cannot even get their own cars out of their own driveways at times. H1e also said it appeared the request was more than a minor, variance. Mr. Wood- Junior Ranger camp a near realîty At an executive meeting of the Ganaraska Region Cons- ervation Authority on Thurs- day of last week a report was submitted concerning the op- eration of a Junior Ranger's Street, speaking on opposition said he was not against the arena nor did he feel he wanted the variance denied. He asked that parking lots be rnade accessible to the arena and that compressors be kept on tee track side of the building to cut down on noise on the street. H1e also asked that the arena be used solely as an arena pointing out that for eight months of the year the street was a quiet street and that local residents were pr epared to put up with somne of the winter activities. 1He feit that most of the problems' could be; dealt with through small adjustments and stat- ed, "I would like to see the arena built". In speakîng on the parking problem Mr. Woodyard stat-' ed they would have to have a patrol on duty ail the time to keep it off the street and to force the over-flow into the parking lots which at thimes are not used. t vwas pointed out that people just will not' walk. Mr. Carson stated thbat even people who live on, the street use the street for parking their own vehicles at times.

A preliminary meeting bas been held between the Minis- try and the Authorîty staff and agreement has been reached concering capital improvement which must be completed prior to operating such a Camp at the Forest Centre. Many of the capital work would also be necessary f or educational purposes when classes would be stay- ing at the camp for a number of days. The Ministry bas agreed to fund capital works and facilit- ies to an amount of $18,000 to $20,00. This funding is for beds, mattresses, blankets, comercial refrigerator and freezer, deepfryer, commer- cial grill, dishes and many other items necessary to operate the camp for over- night and eating accommod- ations. The Authority is faced with expenditures amounting to some $20,000 for capital works with the major portion of this work being lur a new wash- room s0 that mixed classes could be accommodated. At the present Urne an existing wasliroom, with some renov- ations, is suitable for classes of one sex. Without the washroom the Authority could trim their costs for the Junior Rangers to $8,500.00. It was pointed out however that the second washroom must be ready for September if the education aspect of the pro- Taping-Spray Ceilings Pllaster Repair Painting WaIIy Lucyk 983-5518 ORONO gram is to be carried out.
