24)roiio WeekIV Times. Wednesday, October 1st, 197» Orono Weekly Times Î , AN ACCEPTABLE PLAN . The Ministry of Transportation and Communication on ; Thursday presented thëir proposât for future development of i Highway 115 and 35 through the area from Highway 401 to ! Enterprise. All in all it does appear an acceptable plan although some modifications may be instituted prior to ■ , actual construction which is contingent on completion of works on 401 and the availability of funds. to this point representatives of the Ministry state that ' the general public and businesses along the highway appear ' to be receptive to the proposal. They do realize there will no ' doubt be some modifications and this was the purpose of the meetings being held in Orono recently. Certainly the development could not but affect some businesses along the highway as no left turns would be allowed and thus no crossing of the highway except at designated intersections. Individuals will also find that in their normal routes to and from specific destinations will be affected to some degree or other and this may be considered inconvenient. Those wishing to travel north out pf the Village would not be travelling up Mill Street but rather would travel Main Street to the Taunton Road, then east to an underpass under Highway 115. This will increase traffic on Main Street North but not to a degree that would overtax this county road. The Ministry cértâinly has an obligation for the safety of travellers on the Highway and to update facilities to handle properly the increasing traffic flow. Certainly the present system appears inadequate through the use of traffic lights which during heavy traffic periods has been tieing traffic up along highway 115. The lights are only a stopgap method of allowing transfer onto the highway. Underpasses and fly-overs will* allow a corïstant traffic flow on 115. Local inconvenience can be considered by the Ministry but it should not take precedence over safety and the movement of traffic along Highway 115 and 35. MORE WINTARIO MONEY FOR NEWCASTLE ARENA M.P.F*. Sam Cureatz on Tuesday announced that Reuban Baetz, Minister of Culture and Recreation had given approval for the inclusion of the new arena floor in the Newcastle arena eligible for Wintario funding. Curetaz points out that of the $68,800.00 project an amount of some $42,000. will now be financed through the , Wintario fund. The fund raising committee for the Newcastle arena have committed themselves to raise locally the difference. There will be no extra cost to the Town of Newcastle. The two projects in Orono are drawing close to the fulfillment of the local obligations as to financing: Charles Grey pointed out to the recent fair board meeting in Orono that the Orono campaign had yet some $45,000 to raise to meet their total commitment. This is a remarkable achievement to this date and with still another year to meet the objective the goal should certainly |be met. In the beginning we certainly doubted that Orono could have raised a quarter of a million dollars for the project locally but it certainly now appears that the objective can be met. There have been many side effects to the campaign other than the responsibility of meeting the objective. The various promotions, events and activities that have been# organized and held in the community to raise money have stimulated activity within the community. A case in point 'would certainly be the ball tournament in Ororip over the past week, the serving of meals at the Orono Fair, the coming Wintario draw and many others that have even involved the younger set of the community. Such activities have made Orono a better community and à more involved community. The same can be said of the Village of Newcastle with the many activities that have been promoted in that community not to mention the big'fun day coming up with a barbeqpe dinner, dance and boxing promotion.' Both communities have benefited not only from better sport facilities but also a revitalization of community stamina and activeness. Annual award night being held in Orono l 4-H Agricultural Club Lead- Centre in the new Orono ers have beenplanning for the Arena on October 20th. This Annual Award Night, which event will start with a roast will be held in the Community beef dinner, being put on by Happenings ...
