C 8- OronoWeýekly T1imes, Wedne-sday. ýSeptembe-r 10, 1997 j>m Ladies Ppen Class Winner of the Four Horse Hitch Colleen'Arbuckle - Fair Ambassador 1 st place Gien 'Downing - ëwarded by Dulee's Restaurant Earl Cochrane of Blackstock Lishman proposai (continued from page 1> from most of the businesses in Orono saying they were iri favour o f the development. Orono has been through some difficult years with Curvply and the Forestry closing, this is a positive step. Henry Eikens quoting from a 1946 Durharn County Land Survey said the land in question was gravely sand. Crops grown on this type of land are poor. He was just tickle d Pink to hear about a factory coming to the area. Rita Trolley, who current- ly works for Paula Lishman from her own home on Conc. Rd., 7 was, ail in favour 'of this plan. Lishman's side Bill Lishmnan was present at the mneeting with hiis plan- ner Kevin Tunney, of Tunney Planning Inc. and Mr. Steve Usher a hydrogeologist. Mr. Tunneiy informied council that the Agricultural Imnpact Study prepared by Dale Toombs Consulting dated June 1997 stated that non-form use of agricultural lands could be allowed if developmient is on poor quali- ty soils, and it should be well removed from agricultural uses. t is Toomibs opinion that the site mieets bothi crite- r. (Thi S repot Cani be obtained by Ca 1#ng ithe plIan- ning departmient at town hall). As for fthe traffic problemý, Tunney stated thiat the muinic- ipal works departmnent recog- nize that this section of Tauntonï Rd. is presentfly far below standards and will have to be upgraded. The hydrogeologist, Mr. Usher told council it is his job to study the flow of ground water. His inspection of the property in question revealed that the water flow- ing across the property cornes from the Oak Ridges Moraine. The pond built in the 1950's has ground water running through it. It is his feeling that there is suflicient ground water available to supply this undertaking. Bill Lishman apologized for his wife's absence and took tirne to -explain what their business is ail about. They aim to do something that is environmentally friendly. He is a supporter of earth friendly architecture, therefore the plan to build an earth integrated building on the site. He also sees this as a way to recycle an old gravel pit. Mr. Lishran wvent into the pro cess of how the fur gar- ments are made. At this'point the mayor interjected saying it's too bad this facility is cal' led a factory. The work done is mostly hand work. There are no smoke stacks spewing out smoke. Mr. Lishman invited any- one who wants to see the cur- rent operation in Blackstock to corne up and have a tour. The reason Lishman does not want to go into an indus- trial park is for the ambiance. The workers need beautiful surroundings. This plan will cost more than building in an industrial area. Making raised beds for a septic sys- tem will cost more than hook- ing up to sewers. When councillor Scott asked about the rumors about further development on adja- cent land owned Lishman replied that their-,application is only for this proposal. What Mr. Halminen, the owner of the property wants' to do with the remaining lands is his decision. The mnayor told council the Reg ion of Durham, has had miany dealings with Mr. Lishman over the years and he has always been seen as going-to the extreme to pro- tect the environment. Hamre encouraged every- one to take the time to go and see Lishmians operation in Blackstock to see for them- selves how far removed it is from the normal industrial concepts, The, proposaI was referred back to, staff for fuirther pro- cessing. Orono Fair, (continued from page 1) think it will get a lot more interesting." The less said about the milking competition, the bet- ter. The' Farmers Olympics pitted teams of five competi- tors againist each other in such skills as stackîng hay bails, climbing ladders and balancing eggs. The Heavy Duty Champs won the chal- lenge and donated their prize of $100 cash to the Firefighters Defibulator pro- gram. Friday inorring was poul- try judging and the 4-H shows.

In the early /80's when the barrier went up on the 115/35, the Forum was led to believe by the Ministry of Transportation3 that any busi- ness that was Ipst from traffic going north on the highway at the beginning of the week- end, would b@ made up on Sunday with tlhe traffic going back into the cÏtY. To prepare for this increase the Forum purchased a 2.7 acre parcel of land directly south of their existing propeftY for a park- ing lot. The Ladded parking was neyer needed. Now that the Forum is closed, the owner would like to selI this ving car 4190, The car that Adams was driving had already compl@ted 10 heats in 5 derbies. The car was fin- ished on FridàY night. The car did not lo@k much worse after the derby than when it entered. The Heritage Farm Show is increasing from year to year. This year there were about 80, old tractors and engines on di§Play. Clifford Francis of ono was eager to Show off his 1916 Desjardins 5 1/2 HP motor. Lt is a rare hit-and-miss engine used for powering a wood cutter or a grinding machine. According to Clifford, this m otor is every gas efficient because it miss- es more than ii hits. The games these old trac- tors engage in like blind races, and bâlancing on àa teeter-totter demand a -high degree of SkI and are a joy to watch.

The applicant want- ed to change the name from Dyke Place Ito Bluehaven Court. Councillor Pingle asked that local war veterans, names be used for street names while they were still alive. In order to move this application quickly Mayor Hamre asked that council approve the application now, and to use veterans names in future.The Mayor was just givIen a lis t by the local legion of veterans names and priority would now be given to the names on that list for future street names.
