WHITBY FREE PRESS. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 17. I986, PAGE;7 Lynde Shores golf dead issue - Drumm In an effort to put to rest rumours that a golf course is to be built in the Lynde Shores Con- servation Area, Central Lake Ontario Conser- vation Authority chair- man Joe Drumm an- nounced this week that the CLOCA executive will not support the ven- ture. In an official statement, Drumm said CLOCA "does not intend to lease or sell any of its land holdings, nor in any other manner support the development of a golf course" at Lynde Shores. In an interview Mon- day night Drumm said he issued the statement on behalf of the CLOCA executive and that, as far as he was concerned "This is the end of it." Although CLOCA was approached last spring by a syndicate wishing to build a golf course on the property, Drumm said they have had no further contact with the group. If the syndicate returns to CLOCA with a revamped proposai, Drumm said it would first have to be ap- proved by the executive and the executive "is not interested." The Friencd of Lynde Shores, a gr3up formed in the spring to oppose the propnsed golf cour- se, will be attending a public meeting of the CLOCA board -next fuesday night to get the Procedure may change From Pg.1 legislation has already received first reading at Queen's Park, the minister of municipal affairs had requested last year that the region provide him with an of- ficial statement of sup- port for the bill. Without that support, local proponents of the legislation feared the minister might remove .Whitby and Ajax from the bill all together. - According to Whitby regional councillor Tom Edwards, the minister remarked at a recent Association of Municipalities of On- tario conference that he was still waiting for word from the region. In Edwards opinion, the region is indicating its support for the bill not a moment too soon. "But I'm hopeful now that the matter will be dealt with ex- peditiously. The people of Whitby want to know what's ahead of them," said Edwards. The councillor said he understood the acrimony that arose during the last municipal election when the province announced that it would grant the additional seats. Ed- wards felt the timing of the announcement was poor and did not allow sufficient time for both the electorate and potential candidates to make the necessary ad- justments. Providing instead for the ad- ditional seats to be in place prior to the 1988 municipal election will allow a more orderly transition, according to Edwards and it will avert the costly alter- native of a by-election. Edwards noted that it will also allow Whitby council to make its own adjustments. Because the additional seat will give Whitby eight coun- cil members, some councillors fear there will be too many motions hung up in split decisions. Although he felt an even number on council shouldn't necessarily cause problems, Edwards said the council may want to consider adding an ad- ditional local ward in the east or rewriting the by-law to grant the Mayor or chairman the tie-breaking vote. "There are always a few concerns about something like this. It's new and it's diflerent but I'm convinced that the Town of Whitby can only benefit from the additional represen- tation. Until now we haven't been getting the voting power (at the region) that our population demanded," said Edwards. Mayor Bob Attersley said the additional seat will also permit Whitby to participate more' in the regional commit- tees. Presently the region has five commit- tees, management, finance, planning, health and social ser- vices, and works. With only three councillors, Whitby has only been represented on three of those - management, works and health and social services. An ad- ditional councillor would extend the town's participation to four committees, said the Mayor, Study looks to future From Pg.2 Scugog where 65 per- cent were returned. In WHitby there was a 55 percent response rate. Peters said most mail surveys average a 25 to 35 percent response. The questionnaire, which required about 20 minutes to complete, asked randomly selec- ted individuals to iden- tify what health ser- vices they had used in the last six months and to describe their ex- perience of those ser- vices. Peters said -the survey is the first of its kind to be conducted on a regional scale in the province and it will form an important aspect of the Health Council's current Health Needs Study. That study is designed to assist the council in planning health services in Durham till the year 2,000. Peters said both the survey and the overall study will assist the council in formulating recommendations to the I CAN HELP I'm an Investors professional financial planner.

He said the province is in- clined to be more responsive to funding requests if they are sup- ported by extensive research such as the health care services survey. Although it will take some time to compile and study the infor- mation collected in the study, Peters said the Health Council will release an interim report on its findings in about a month.

"This is basically what Mr. Drumm told me earlier this summer but he's only one mem- ber of the board. We're planning to attend the September 23 meeting of the board and if we can get tner assurance this will be dropped then we're prepared to take their word for it. But the more people that tur- nout for that meeting the better our chance of putting this to rest once and for all," said Sheila Ruch, a member of the group. The public meeting will be held at the CLOCA offices at 100 Whiting Ave. in Oshawa. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. According to CLOCA deputy administrator Chris Conti, the agenda for the meeting has not yet been drawn up and he did not know if the golf course was slated for discussion. Ad- ministrator Bill Cam- pbell was not available for comment.
