New property considered Ashburn park is proposed Ashburn residents may soon have a park of their own if proposed negotiations between coincil and a landowner in the area prove successful. Last year council had made arrangements to purchase land for a park in Ashburn, but the deal feil through. This year a different piece of property is being considered. Councillor Gerry Emm says the town staff are looking at the cost factor for the new park. The town has collected $20,000 in fees over the past few years fron people in the Ashburn area who have subdivided parcels of lánd for .houses, he says, and this money can be applied to the purchase of a park for Ashburn. Actual negotiations to purchase property would not begin until the town treasurer Forbes McEwen tells council what he estimates the property to be worth, says Councillor Emm. Bumper sticker wimners Four area residents have won cash prizes in the County Town Bumper sticker draw. The winner of $25 is R. L. Higham, 349 Trent Ct., Oshawa; the winner of$15 is Beth Alma of R.R. 1 Brooklin; the winner of $10 is Bonnet Trailer Leasing, 400 Hopkins Street, Whitby; and the winner of $5 is Olga Nagy, R.R. 3, Newcastle. The draw took place at the opening of the Carnival Friday, at Heydenshore Pavilion. A potential site has been found and the owner has shown an interest in selling it, he said. A park in Ashburn would serve about 800 people in the irnmmcdaite area of the hamlet, and more than 1,000 people within a three- mile radius of Ashburn. The nearest baseball diamond now is six miles away at Brooklin.
