PAGE 2, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST,29, 1979, WHITBY FREE PRESS Unfo~~t 'tat Nwan didn't talkto me - Gartshore By MICHAEL KNELL Free Press Staff Mayor Jim Gartshore said it was unfortunate that his predecessor in office did not corne to him with his con- cerns about Brooklin. Last Week, former mayor Des Newman was in the news because of his con tact with Whîtby councillors in which he said that if the Brooklhin project was started * prematurely, the price. of land in' the hamnletý would skyrocket. * "I find it unfortunate-that he didn't caîl me" Gartshore said. Gartshore said that a couple of councillors approa- ched him saying that they, had' been in touch- with Newman who had wanted to- discuss something "-that appeared to, be an interirn report." As to what the document. said, in specifics, Gartshore, said, "I can't comment ... be- cause I don't know." Gartshore said that he woulid have been happy to hear Newman's concerns if the latter- had approachied him. Newman was mayor from 1966 to 1975. .Gartshore did, however, sa that there was "no develop- ment agreement betwveen the town andanyone."1 This was, in response to Newman's remark that the agreement was a "disas- trous document" and Gartshore pointed out that ail potenitial documents and agreements had been tabled in committee. 1Gartshore' said the paper was "not really a public report" primarily because "we have Inot deait with it." He also said that the whole issue of the. Brooklin expan- sion will be dealt with next month in 'an mn-camera commbittee-oËf.the-whole mneeting-which will .last as long as it takes to iron out any questions and doubts that councillors have. (Uartshore also said that after that, the meeting wil go, public in council so 'that the final decision' will' be known. Gartshore said the de ci- sion will be known. Gartshore said the deci- sion will have to be in the "best interest of the total town of Whitby."1 Gartshore said he antici- pates that the decision will corn'e in October "one way or the other."1 Lynde Creek gétS. faelf Mother Nature has re- ceived plas tic surgery, thanks to the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authé- rity. CLOCA. has given thie Lynde Creeek a facelift. The creek had been eroding away the base of an 80 foot high ciff in the Heber Down Conservation Area, but il does not come cheap. This year, CLOCA spent $8,0W0 on just one piece' of the creek and last year spent $56,000._ The roding action of the creek was slowly destroying the cl.ff and the soil removed was getting into the' creek furthur downstream, Caus- ing, silting' and interfering Iwith spawning fisti. CLOCA brought.,in heavy equip ment and dug a new creek channel and lined, it with rock so that the,,creek would'not strip the new bank away and steering another course, foi the'ciff. The stone used to make the banks were brought in from Brechin, some 50 miles to the north, because local materi- aIs tend to fracture and dissolve wîth tirne, accord- ing to CLOCA's Rob Messervey. He also said that the rock is lower in calcium and lime content than would be found in Bowmanville and which is used by St. Mari's Cernent. The creek will now have more ui its water diverted to the pond at'Devil's Den, several hundred yards south of the cliff. This will make for better water circulation for instead of the stream water spilling back into it over a dam, wa ter from the bottom of the pond, seven feet deep at the deepest hole, will go into the stream. This wîll help to lower the temperature of the water creating a better habitat for fish., The bank between the pond and the creek has also been threatened. This situation is now being dealt with as the chiff saving operation was completed ahead of schedule. "A few more years- and there wouldn't have been the embankmèent or the pond," Messervey said. The water, does, not take the path of least resitance and appears determined to. carve new channels. The reconstruction project seems to have corne to grips with the situation. United Way chairmans Joe Pegg, General Carnpaign Chairman for the 1979 Oshawa-Whitby United' Way, has aflnounced the volunteers who have taken charge of' the various carn- paign committees. The target for this year's campaign is $1,150,000., an increase of 4.17 percent over last year's objective. "This y-ear we are looking to repeat our success of Iast faîl in more than meeting our United Way objective", says Mr. Pegg.- "To support 29 local United Way agencies, we are aiming for an increase of $46,000 over last year's objective.~ We, are, however, trying to hold the line.against inflation and lye continue to have the lowest operating and fund-raising Mu*gs and plates, Whitby Kinette Club President Bonnie Young displays a plate & mug which the club will be selling at the Garage Sale the J.L.
