Preparing for the 1990 Orono Fair edition Town would purchase land for Woods Walk The Parks Policy committee of the Town of Newcastle held a meeting recently at which time discussion centred around the pro- posed Orono Woods Walks Park as one item of business. The director of community ser- vices, Joe Caruana, outlined the plan of survey and advised that the Town did not own certain lands within the valley. He said he was pursuing to purchase these lands. Further a budget allocation is to be made in the 1990 budget for the development of the first stage of the park this year. The committee also dealt with the matter of a Courtice Community complex which it was stated should be large enough to accommodate the future growth of the Courtice community.

The proposal for some 12 to 14 residential lots and 20,000 square feet of commercial space is located north of the four corners on the west side of Regional Road 14. Originally the plan had involved lands outside of the hamlet's north boundary but both M. Gimblett and D. Armstrong informed coun- cil they were withdrawing that sec- tion out of the proposal. It had been previously recommended by the planning department that such lands not be considered. The planning report submitted to council on Monday recommended that the proposal be resubmitted for residential use only for those lands within the hamlet boundaries. Gimblett and Armstrong both pointed to the need for commercial development in the growing com- munity and submitted a Retail Analysis pointing to this need. Gimblett said parking was impor- tant something they would offer at their location. He said there was lit- tle suitable land for commercial development along highway 2 in Newtonville due to restrictions of banks and such as Hill Street. The planning report states that development or redevelopment of commercial sites could accom- modate the commercial needs of the hamlet and further point out that commercial development along highway 2 would benefit from a higher traffic rate. Gimblett, in speaking to council, said they offered an opportunity to accommodate shoppers in one loca- tion and that it would not require trips outside the community. They also spoke of increased employment and further taxable assessment. The issue has bçen referred back to the planning department.

It was young Pedro who stood out of all the stories, a mere mite of a Mexican boy, delegated to fight the mighty bull in the great am- phitheatre. It was a satiricle look at human nature. Pedro, undaunted, advanced to the centre of the ring when the great wooden doors opened to reveal the bureaucratic bull carrying his'fat brief case stuffed with papers. He walked to the centre of the ring announcing he represented his honest, hardworking and responsi- ble government. Thrusting his fist into the air Pedro called out "bull" and the crowd roared their approval. Pedro was their hero. Undaunted the bureaucratic bull tried and tried again with the same results but the tidebegan to turn.
