Plan Hotel-Shopping Plaza Near 401 Proposals for three major commercial developments were presented to the Bow- manville Planning Board at their Wednesday, October lOth meeting. Two of the develop- ments involved shopping cen- tre complexes in the Waverly Road-Highway 401 area, while the third proposal was com- posed of a high-rise redevelop- ment on the north side of King Street, on the property pres- ently occupied by the Pab's Cabs building and Bill's Billiards. The most ambitious of the three projects, presented by Geoffrey Still Associates, a division of A. E. LePage Real Estate, includes a 150-unit hotel, a 110,000 square feet shopping centre and four other separate com mercial outléts fronting on Waverly Road and Base Line Road. The Still development would be situat- ed on a 34-acre parcel of land owned by Brookdale-Kings- way Nursery (the former Allin farm), south of Base Line Road and west of Waverly Road. The first phase of the shopping centre would involve a 60,000 square foot depart- ment store and a 20,000 square foot food store plus accom- panying ancillary stores which would cater to "conven- ience shopping" (drug stores, VOLUME 119 16 Pages BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 17, 1973 15e Per Copy NUMBER 42 hardware, etc.) and specialty needs. The three-storey, 150-unit hotel would be situated on a five acre site immediately adjacent to Waverly Road. The other proposal for the area, located on 38 acres east- of Waverly Road and south of Base Line, was submitted on behalf of Western Auto Parts, the developer. This proposal acknowledged that the policy of Bowman- ville's Official Plan is tO strengthen the downtown core area and hence, a two phase development was suggested, so that the interests of the central shopping district would not be threatened. The first phase of the Western Auto Parts develop- ment would be limited to a "community facility with its major tenant being a super- market." The word 'commun- ity' was defined to mean that O tside the collegiate in Oshawa where the new Durham Region council was being sworn into office on Monday night, three disgruntled citizens from the To n of Durham staged a protest over the region's name. Their placards urged action to change the name so it would not conflict with their town's name, citing such items as confusion over mail delivery, breach of copyright, etc. as their reasons. Lawyer Peter Fallis and car dealer Don Hill are shown above folding the signs. A third Durham resident, a retired school teacher I. B. Sharp joined them on their 150 mile drive to lodge their protest. They plan to petitiop the Ontario government with their demands. They were not allowed into themeeting to present their protest to government officials. Any ideas Came from PCs Inau gurUte by Bob Benson Less than a year ago the Ontario Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Hon. Charles McNaughton, and his parliamentary assistant, MPP Donald Irvine, dropped their Regional Govern- ment bombshell in an Oshawa high school auditorium and set off a furor that lasted for months. On Monday night, October 15th, 10 months later, it was a different Osh- awa high school and a different Minis- ter of Intergovernmental Affairs (Hon. John White) and the reception was decidedly warmer as Durham Regional Chairman Walter Beath and the 30 other members of his Council were sworn into office.

R. 2, Newcastle, was westbound on Highway 2 when his car fishtailed on the wet pn&ent tàTheiuiirve near Sohna Road.

Regional Col would only cater to the immediate area with conven- ience stores. "Ancillarv floor space," stated the report, "should be allocated to other convenience goods such as drugs, hard- ware and possibly a restaur- ant and liquor or beer outlet." "In our opinion, such a community facility is required in the immediate future," added the proposal. It refer- red to a "substantial dollar drift out of the Bowmanville area". "Bowmanville is, by de- fault, taking the position that Oshawa acts as its commer- cial centre."

Then, on Monday an announcement came in that Bowmanville's Santa Claus Parade Committee had held a meeting and set the date Nov. 17th at 10:30 a.m. for this year's big event. Call Mrs. Ede Cole 623-2405 for information on floats. Already, six bands have been booked, so things look bigger and better than ever. QUICK CHANGE - Readers are advised that our Assistant Editor announced two weeks ago, is no longer with.The Statesman. He has obtain- ed a position on another newspaper in the Whitby area. NEW POLICY - We seem to be altering procedures quite rapidly in order to update our operation in line with our modern printing process. In future, wedding writeups and pictures must be submitted not later than one week following the ceremony. It's hardly news to be publishing details of weddings in October that took place in August or July. Also, anyone wanting 8 x 10 reprints of photos appearing in this newspaper should order them by Friday of the same week, accompanying the order with cash at $2 per picture, tax included. That way they'll get prompt delivery. POLITICS - The provincial and federal politi- cal scene appears to be showing some action with two meetings scheduled for this week. The Durham NDP Association is holding a general meeting tonight at 8:00 at Brown's Community Centre on the Golf Course Road east of New- castle. And on Saturday night, the Durham Liberals are staging a dinner and dance at Blackstock with some of the prospective pro- vincial leadership candidates in attendance. The Social Credit party recently held a con- vention in Port Perry. No doubt the Progres- sive Conservatives will be coming up with something also in the near future. They did an outstanding bit of work in organizing the in- auguration of the Region Council on Monday to get them started on the right road. CHANGES - Their many friends, acquired during their 272 years in business on King St., will be sorry to learn that Jack and Mel McNulty have sold their sports and cycle business to Albert Wihlidal, formerly with Cycle Centre, Oshawa. The new owner has already taken over the operation of the store. We understand Jack doesn't plan to re-enter the boxing profession where, from all reports, he was pretty good in his prime.E HARD TO BELIEVE - An announcement in this edition from Glen Rae Dairy gives the r startling and almost unbelievable news that the, price of milk has dropped one cent a quart. Ain't that something? Ken Lyall, recently elected Regional Councillor for New- castle's Ward Three (Clarke Township-Newcastle), has been forced to re-submit his resignation to the Board of Education. Lyail, Who >was eiected as a Schooi Board trustee last year, had pre- viousiy tendered bis resigna- tion effective December 31st. However, eventhough Reg- lonai Government doesn't of- ficially come into being until January1lst, 1974, the Region- al Council members were sworn inmon Monday, October 15th.

Car and Motorcycle Crash on Scugog A 22-year-old motorcyclist was taken to hospital on Tues- day evening, October l6th, after he was struck fromthe rear by a car on Scugog Street, near Edsall Avenue. Ronald J. Dunn, of Lamb's Lane, Bowmanville, was tak- en by ambulance to the Bowmanville Memorial Hos- pital but was "just shaken up" and was discharged later the same night. John A. Carrol. 23 years, from Cobourg, was the driver of the car involved in the mishap. He had just passed another car, heading north on Seugog Street and was slowing down to make a left-hand turn when he collided with Dunn's motorcycle. The Carrol vehicle sustain- ed an estimated $300 in damages whiie it will cost an estimated $200 to repair the motorcycle. Bowmanville Police Con- stable D. W. Smith investigat- ed the accident and charges may be pending. forbids anyone for holding two elected positions at the same time, Lyall was forced to re-tender his school board resignation, effective October lth. The Board accepted Lyall's Money for Red Cross resignation and agreed to elect a successor to fill his unexpired term at their next meeting. A nominating com- mittee has been appointed by the trustees and will bring a recommendation to the Board. Many Bowmanville area young people seenito' have a well-developed penchant for doing charity work these days. A few weeks ago the Statesman ran a picture of two Junior High School girls who raised money on their own for the Muscular Dystrophy campaign and the five young ladies pictured above held their own backyard carnival to earn funds for the Red Cross. In the back row of the photo (above) are Cheryl Milner (at left), 12 years, Janice Vivian (with sign), 10 years, and Arlene Chisholm, il years. In front of them are Jane Lynch, (at left), 10 years, and Laura Chisholm, il years.
