At this time of year drivers zan expect ice patches on the road, particularly in the early morning hours on and under bridges. Be on the alert for those grey patches indicating ice, states the Ontario Safety League and don't be lulled into a false sense of security by the bright fall sun. Expect the unexpected. Celebrates First Birthday tempt to stop the project. Councillor Cowman made a motion to go into camera. When Council returned to open session, Councillor Lyall would not support the project, Councillor Alin, Chairman of the Community Services Com- mittee was not present, Coun- cillor Cowman was not pre- pared to make a motion. (This constituted all of the Commit- tee of Council who had been aware of the total project). Councillors Hobbs and Tin' were concerned about reso- ving the matter but had not been directly involved. I therefore asked Councillor Hobbs to assume the Chair as I was the only other person who had sat with the Commit- tee. I then made a motion which was supported by Councillors Hobbs and Tink and opposed by Councillors Cowman and Lyall. Was it a good decision to pave the lot for parking? I think it was. Parking on the front street of Newcastle is chaotic at times. We have been approached by citizçns, merchants, the Police and the Works Department and we have resolved nothing as-yet. At times I see cars parked at right angles to the street. As examples of parking by public buildings, I can think of the Town Hall and Court House in Bowmanville; the Municipal Offices in Hamp- ton; the United Counties Building in Cobourg; the Durham Regional Offices on Rossland Road, Whitby; the Town Hall Whitby; Civic Square, Oshawa; Civic Square, Ajax and so on. The plan as I saw it will provide for more landscaping and shrub- ery than previously on the Newcastle lot. I mentioned at the meeting in Newcastle that no member of Council had the authority to issue stop work orders and I am told that the bill for lost time, due to this order, is going to cost someone $296.00. In conclusion, I might add that the Community Services Committee have known about this project for several months. At the time of discussion of the Newcastle Fire Hall about two monthz ago, the location on Mill Street was considered unsatisfactory because of a lack of parking space. At that time, Councillor Lyall stated, with all mem- bers of Council present, the parking could be provides across the street on grounds that were going to be paved next to the Community Hall. However, all's well that ends well. I understand tht Councillor Lyall has requested Mr. Fanning to put up back stops on the parking lot so the boys can play basketball. Speaking of the Newcastle Community Hall, we do have a Committee of Council and engineers quietly and effi- ciently working towards re- pairing the roof on the Hall which has been giving trouble for several years. It has been an interesting season, with the new Fire Hall, the Lost Tractor, the new Swimming Pool, the outra- geous water stories, the Parking lot, etc. I wish we could put forward a little more effort to resolve some of the unfinished sewer problems, broken pavement, parking on front street, the lack of school crossing guards and others. While we, as Council, strug- gle with these and many more problems, I extend my sincere appreciation to all those people such as the members of the Hall Board, who give willingly of their time and talents in the many commun- ity projects which make a place in which citizens are proud to live.

Mayor Provides Background On Paving Newcastle Lawn by Mayor Garnet B. Rickard In the local papers djring the past week, there were articles referring to the pav- ing of Newcastle's Green. One article, written by Gordon Cochrane, has asked for a response. I feel that he is entitled to one because who- ever is supplying him with information, is misleading this young man. Councillor Lyall bas also written articles about paving the lawn. I will not attempt to reply to Councillor Lyall's letter - he should know the facts for he is at most of the meetings. In Gordon Cochrane's letter, he refers to the action of the Town of Newcastle Public Works Department. The Pub- lic Works Department had nothing to do with it. The iob was done by a private contractor hired by thie New- castle Community Hall Board who were elected as Board Members from the Village of Newcastle, by the people of the Village at a Public Meeting, duly advertised and constituted. Therefore, the decision was not made by people who live outside the Village. As for the remainder of Gordon's letter, he has expressed his concerns very weil andîI congratulate him for this. What then, are the facts? Parking in the Village of Newcastle has been a major problem for some time. The previous Council had consi- dered turning the said grounds into a parking area. Many people were already driving up the lane and parking on the grass until it had become a rough, muddy area, full of pot holes. The Newcastle Official Plan provided for it; the Chamber of Commerce asked for it. The Community Hall Board approached the Com- munity Services Committee and requested that something be done to clean up the rough ground east of the Hall. The Committee chose to do no- thing; that was in 1974. Early this year, the Community Services Committee met in Newcastle with the Hall Board. This was shortly after Councillor Cowman was elected as this was one of the first meetings which she attended. On that occasion, the Hall Board and Council members, Councillor Allin, Councillor Cowman, and Councillor Lyall and I met in Newcastle, looked over the area and examined plans which the Hall Board ad for the paving of the lot. As I recall, everyone except Councillor Lyall, thought it was a good plan. The Hall Board subsequently wrote Council a letter and asked for clarification as to who was going to look after the grounds around the Hall. Council decided by resolution, that the Hall Board should look after all the property associated with the Commun- ity Hall. This seemed only proper, as Council had done nothing about looking after any of the grounds during the year and a half we had been in Office. The Community Hall Board was notified of the Resolution by letter. On Tuesday morning, Sep- tember 30, Councillor Lyall called at my house and asked that I call a Special Meeting of Council immedîately. I ar- ranged one for 1:30 p.m. of the same day in the Village. Councillor Entwisle was out of town and Councillor Allin could not leave his store. All other members were present. About 30 people from the Village were also present. The case history was presented.
