Oppose Counc On, Foresters" Residents in the south- eastern area of Bowmanville showed solid opposition to action taken by Newcastle council on the future use of land located south of the .awn's Goodyear plant. -At a meeting in the Memorial Park Clubhouse Wednesday, August 2, about 40 residents indicated they were in favor of the development of residential dwellings on the 22-acre site. $3 Million Project On part of the property, the Canadian Order of Foresters has, proposed a $3 million housing development contain- ing 30 apartments and 55 townhouses. Only one person in the audience indicated support of Newcastle Council's decision on the Foresters' plan. At a meeting several months ago, council voted against amend- ing the Durham Region Officiai Plan to allow the development proposed by the Foresters. This leaves the vacant land west of Duke St. in an "industrial" category. Applications Mult Dakin, a representa- tive of the Canadian Order of Foresters, pointed out at the meeting last week that over 300 persons have applied for permission to rent apartments or townhouses, if their project materialized. The capacity of t!-- housing development whicrs 5ould- have been built and managed by the Foresters group was approximately 234.

H1e said there were fears that the company would be hemmed in and he added that if the municipality supported residential zoning south of the plant it would 'almost certainly be closing the door to Goodyear."

IR is a challenge to the eople, of Bowmaniville to voluntarily reduce energy consumption for 24 hours. Residents are invited to turn off what they don't need and choose energy saving alternatives. The goal of Zero Energy Day is to reduce total energy use for one day and to experiment with new activities or renew old ones that lead to long term energy savings. For that candlelit dînner prepare a refreshing salad. If you choose to cook, use a barbeque with a renewable fuel like wood or charcoal. The conservation centre staff have a list of simple energy-saving tips for Zero Energy Day. They suggest that you walk or ride a bike to work and if you must us6 your car ride with a friend or two. Bring a mug for coffee break, rather than use those energyn costly polyethelene or paper cups at the office. Give your T.V. a rest and pick up that book you have been meaning to start for so long. Why not get out in the fresh air, take a walk, play tennis or go swimming and improve your health while you're saving energy. When you return from all that invigorating exercise take a shower instead of a bath - it uses less water., Morley Watson of the Bow- manville Public Utilities has offered the services of his office to provide accm-ate electricity usage figures on Zero Energy Day to compare with the average total electricity consumption for the town. This way we will "Chefs and restaurant managers have a low image of pork - they don't seem to feel comfortable with it and they think it is tricky to cook," he said in an interview.

According to Mr. Simpson, the firm exports about 1000 skateboards and parts a week to the United States. Their equipment is second to none and is the choice of a great many professional skateboarders. Lt is to promote these Canadian products that the Go-for-Winkel team exists. Mr. Simpson formed the team about three months ago in an effort to teach the proper and, safe techniques of skate- boarding. Today, he thinks a large part of keeping the team going is the fun he's having with the members of the team. 1The team includes three skateboarders who will be travelling to California this year for three months of skateboarding. All are in their late teens. One of the unusual items the team uses is an eight wheel skateboard. This devîce is about three times larger than a skateboard, but is used to perform the same sort of tricks. The team, for those who missed them, will be performing at the Oshawa Shopping Centre on September 2. TERM PERHAPS YOU CAN BECOME A WORM GROWER!
