WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 7,1982, PAGE 3 says a fond fareweli to the town he has served Wel They bade Forbes 'Doc' McEwen a fond farewell last week and honored him for his 28 years of service to the Town of Whitby. One of the presents given him was'a photograph of the Whitby harbor, one of McEwen's favorite projects. He is seen here displaying it after receivmng the photograph from Mayor Bob Attersley (left). -Free Press Staff Photo CONT'D FROM PG.2 ved us well- in our in- fancy," McEwen said adding that since- thenI, we have flot treated the Port very well. Referring to, the con- struction of the sewage treatment plant a few years ago, he said "1we gave them more sewage than treatment.""We then closed their fire- hall," heII continued, "and turned it over to the boy scouts and toid Whitby Town Council (pardon the pun) has biessed plans for the town's newest house of worship - Holy Famiiy Roman Cathoiic Chur- ch. The new church will be located on a two-acre site at the south-east corner of Manning Road and Ribbiesdale Drive. The 23,160 square foot church wîll be imme- diately adjacent, to a them (Port residents) to be repared. "The Port has been poorly pianned and I can almost say forgot- ten, " McEwen added. But this will not be the case in the future if the current proposais before council become a reaiity. The officiai plan- amendment calîs for the Port f0, have a popula- tion of 8,000 centred on a barbor oriented -com- mercial and recreation- proposed shopping mail that wil be built on the Manning Ribblesdale in- tersection and wiil share parking facilities with it. Neither the town's nor the region's planning departments had any objection to the proposai. Until the new church is built, the congrega- tion of Holy Family meets, at St. Paul's Roman Catholie Sehool. ist ANNIVERSARY SALE «lý KýT KTGDLD CHAINS 12OFF DUR REGULAR PRICE j?'AMOND, OPAL RINGS PARPENDANTS RINGS HEARTSI ai complex.

"But now you can't even get a building per- Mit," he said. He was also critical of the fact that the Port's 600 residents cannot get their water from the region's water supply plant. which is located in the harbor area.

However, according to McEwen there are two things that can save the Port. The recon- struction of the Whitby Psychiatrie Hospital will mean that the needed sewers will have to be constructed. "The development of the Whitby Psychiatrie Hospital is more import- -ant than the Liquor Con.- trol Board of Ontario' warehouse to the muni- cipality, " he said. The other thing that wili be a great boon is the reconstruction of the Brock Street South bridge over the CNR_ tr- acks. He pointed out that the bridge was'first con- structed to carry wagonloads of grain into the harbor for shipment. "0f course, we're still using it. " McEwen pointed out that there are many ad- ditional advantages to developing the Port. Firstly, its proximity to GO Train services and recreational facilitfies, chiidren can use the municipaliy owned tran- sit service to go to high school and "the closest place to shop is down- town Whitby." He adniitted sadly' that he had not accom- plished all that hemiould have liked but pointed out that Iyou neyer fi- nish building a muni- cipality. " But he gave an indi- cation of what he might do in the future. "If Port Whitby i moving within. three years, I won't'be able to sit still, he said. That could be inter- preted as a badly dis- guised threat to the town's incumbent poli- ticians. But they don't have to worry, Mec'EWen is planning a long. trip with his wife and any thoughts of taking on a political career wiii flot be formed until the elec- tion after this one. So, witb an applaud- ing and cheering crowd, McEwen left public life, but somehow. he ieft al present with the fe eling that he won't be gone forever. ) COMIU PRné YOU CAN BE A PROFESSUONAL HAIRSTYLUST ART E& TECHNIQUE - Stl chmw ENROLI NOW F'OR NEXT MONTH'S CLASSES 7 Government Llcensed instructors 27 succu$Wful o f hdrsfylugexpedanCa - 4Ontario st. 221 Pitt St. Oshawa Cornwall 578-0479 938-9313 Thank you for helping our students today ,to be protessional hairstyiists tomorrow.
