Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 26, 1976 il Residents Overlooked ByStud Mayor People in the Town of Newcastle have been com- plaining that they were re- fused the right to give input into a hamlet study that was tabled by the region in a meeting several weeks ago, according to Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard. Mayor Rickard, who also represents Newcastle in the regional council told the regional planning committee on May 11 that a member of the Newcastle council who obtained a copy of the study has been warning ratepayers of the report's consequences. Coun. Rickard asked the planning committee why the study overlooked the opinions of the residents in the hamlets. Director of Planning, Dr. Mofeed Michael said that the study included the input of the residents while it was being formed. "The opportunity was there for them to make submis- sions," he said. A special meeting on the tuid was hed on Mnv 14 in y of Ham ets TeUs Plan ners Hampton at M.J. Hobbs public school to bring the purpose of the report to the attention of the public. The hamlet study is a two-volume report by Under- wood McLellan and Associ- ates looking into existing land features and indicating the limits of growth in the future for 37 hamlets and villages within the region. Regional councillor Bill Ballinger (Uxbridge) told the committee that now that the study is complete people will have to take their problems with the study to the local councils. The local councils will be allowed to make submissions to the regional planning com- mittee concerning the study and its implications for the Official Plan beginning for a week on June 14. Come Fly WithMe by John Squirrelly The current controversy between Transport Minister Otto Lang and the Canadian Association of Air Traffic Controllers (CATCA) was brought to a further boil this "I don't speak English, jeyk, " he said. There was a moment of silence. "But, you just did, perfect English," the anguish- ed voice cried. "C'etait une erreur." "Look," the voice pleaded, "I don't speak French but I've got to have landing instruct- ions quickly. There are three hundred passengers on board here. I mean, if it wele just for myself, I wouldn't mind so much." "Je regrette, monsieur, je ne peux pas vous comprend- re.", "Okay, okay," the voice said, "l'Il try speaking in French. I've got to get down somehow. Uh, I need, uh, J'ai besoin des instructions pour lander, uh, descendre a terre." "Certainement, monsieur," the controller said, "prenez las piste d'atterrissage numero six." "Oh. good grief," the voice said despairingly, "I don't what you're saying. Isn't there anyone there that speaks English." "Un moment, monsieur." A chap who had been sitting listening to the dialogue took over the microphone. "Hello, flight 4507, this is the tower. You are cleared for landing on runway number six. Emergency vehicles will be in position." "Thank God!" the voice exclaimed. "You arrived in time! " "Well, not really," he said, "it is just that I don't take over from Henri until four o'clock." There was a stunned silence. "You mean," the voice yelled, "that you sat there all this time? Why couldn't.you have said some- thing?" "Do I tell you how to drive your airplane?" the controller asked. A choked scream was heard from the speaker as the plane headed for runway six. Shortly after, a call came in from another approaching aircraft. "Allo, allo, Dorval. Maidez! Ici vol 3928 de Paris. J'ai besoin une piste vitement pour un atterrissage force'!" "Sorry, I don't speak French." "Quoi?" "Je ne parle pas le francais, idiote," the controller replied. The now familiar silence ensued. "Mais, vous venez de parler de francais, et parfaite- ment." "That was a mistake, I'll try not to let it happen again." "C'est tres importante que je descends a terre immed- iatement. Nous n'avons pas assez du gaz pur continuer." "You are cleared for land- ing on runway number three. Please Tower flaps and redüce speed on approach. Since you are running out of gas, emergency vehicles will be in attendance. "Je ne vous comprends pas. "That ain't my fault buddy." "C'est necessaire de vous dire que nous avons M.

Provincial Task Force To Aid Regional A special task force has been formed to look into the Ontario government's stra- tegy paper for the Region of Durham, Provincial Treasur- er Darcy McKeough an- nounced on May 12. Study The report that the task force has been asked to refine for the region is called "The Durham Subregion: A Strat- egy for Development to 1986." Mr. McKeough told Durham Regional Council the purpose of setting up the special task force. "Our objective at this stage is to gather in comments and recommendations from peo- ple such as yourselves and refine the present report into one which will complement and support your official plan," he said. The Assistant Deputy Minis- ter for Community Planning in the Ministry of Housing, Wojeck Wronski, has been named as the chairman of the task force. Mr. McKeough said Mr. Wronski would contact the region soon for them to begin discussions with the task force. A minimum of six other ministries including natural resources, transportation and communications, environ- ment, industry and tourism, treasury, economics and intergovernmental affairs and agriculture and food will have representatives on the task force, the treasurer said. In his remarks on the strategy paper, Mr. Me- Keough told the regional council that it would remain open to any changes that were recommended. "There is a tendency for people to think that once a paper is published by the government it is official and final and nothing can be done to change it," he said. "Of course this simply isn't so." Mr. McKeough said people should realize that they can be included in the planning process. "Successful planning by definition is a joint under- taking of government and the people whom that government was elected to serve." The sole purpose of the government in planning is to help reinforce the chosen lifestyles of the people in- volved, the treasurer said. During the meeting with regional council, Provincial Secretary for Resources Development Donald Irvine, also presented the region with a cheque for $7,055,749 as the first payment on an interest- free loan for $39,647,000 to supply services to new homes. The region has arranged to repay the provincial govern- ment for the loan over a 15 year period, with the first payment due sometime within three years.
