PC1 Candidate AI Lawrence Mainstreets in Bowmanville Potholes, ruts and noisy earthmoving equipment rumbling up and down King Street didn't deter Federal Conservative incumbent Allan Lawrence from "mainstreeting"l in downtown Bowmanville last week. Mr. Lawrence chatted casually with voters and his relaxed appearance here indicates that campaign trail pressure hasn't yet touched him.

Plan By Maureen Corkery The realigament of Preston- vale Road and a special commercial study area were the two major concerns which emerged fromn written brief s and comments on the propos- ed Courtice District Plan. Town planner Don Smith told an audience of roughly 75 people last Wednesday night that since, the first public meeting to discuss the District Plan was held, he has received 25 written submaissions. Homes Lost? Several residents of Prestonvale Rond are upset over the prospect of possibly losing their homes or most of their back yards to the suggested realignment of that road. Sixteen people who live along that rond said at last Wednesday's meeting they do want the existing alignment, moved but there is disagree- ment as to where it should go. Consultant Phil Levine of the Toronto-based IBI firm which prepared the plan said, "some want it dloser to their back yards and some want it further away. Some even say "why not widen the alignment we have? " He explained that if the principle of creating a new alignment is accepted by all parties involved, the location is a matter to be determined by engineers. Planning committee chair- man Ann Cowman suggested a special meeting be held with the Prestonvale Rond resi- dents to look at logical alternative alignments, of which Levine said there are probably three or four, and try to arrive at a consensus. Accord$ng to the plan, the central core area will be immediately east of Trulîs Road and south of Highway 2. Another smaller commercial area is proposed at the intersection of Highway 2 and Townline Road but before it becomes a reality, more in-depth studies will be STOCKER SALE Durham Cou nty Sales Arena Orono Wednesday, May 9th at 1:30 p.m. SeIIing a good selection of stookers, feeders, calves and short keepsteers. *Consignmsnts Welcome* CalS Charlie Reid ai 983-5914 or> Bud Elilot at 1-705-9322980 RBunses!

Levine said the land will be studied to determine its best uses while taking into consideration proposals for shopping facilities and the desires of property owners in the area. A study is needed before there is any develop- ment at this location, he stressed. Details to Follow The District Plan is the second of four stages in the planning process. It follows the broad guidelines of the Durham Regional Official Plan and is conceptual in nature. Individual, more detailed development plans for each neighborhood must be prepared prior to individtual plans of subdivision being put forward. Detailed environmental analyses will be integral in the preparation of Neighborhood Development Plans, said Levin. Mr. Smith said letters lie received want such com- mitments strictly adhered to. The plan recognizes Courtice's natural division into three areas by Black and Farewell Creeks. These areas would become interdependent but separate communities each with their own schools, parks and housing. Develop- ment would be carefully staged. The urban area is bounded by Adelaide Avenue on the north, Bloor Street on the south, Hancock Road on the east and Townline Rond on the west. The plan calîs for the eventual extension of Adelaide Avenue. Proposed main north-south arteries are, Trulis Road and Courtice Rond, Nash Rond and Highway 2 would be the major east-west routes. At present the plan is being circulated to Regional and provincial governmental agencies for their comments. The planning department and committee will make modi- fications based on their input and that of the public.

Fashions through the various eras were shown in sequence, suitably modelled by local women and girls. Followed a brief intermission, bridai party fashions in sequence were modelled, (complete with period floral arrange- ments) by women, children and men, providing an un- usually delightful historical exposition. over 100 signatures of parents concerned about the weed control program was also presented to the school board and about a dozen parents interested in the issue attend- ed the meeting. School board official said that no arrangements have been made yet to conduct a spraying program this year.

Parents Objeet To Weed Sprays, In Schoolyards Weed sprays used by the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education could be dangerous to students' health, a parents' group-told school trustees last Thursday evening. Speaking before the school board at its regular meeting in Cobourg, R.N. Whitehead, Chairman of Parents Against Spraying, said that his group is concerned about the board's policy of spraying school grounds with chemicals in an attempt at controlling weeds. Mr. Whitehead, a Wark- worth area resident, said that the parents are objecting to the use of phenoxy herbicides. He said indications are that these substances could cause cancer, birth defects and other ilînesses. "'We cannot accept the dlaim that the (spraying) programn will exclude aîl risks. That situation is clearly impossible," Mr. Whitehead said. The parents' spokesman also suggested that the spray program may not be necessary. 'The grounds are cut so often and cared for so well that I don't think weeds have a chance anyway." Mr. Whitehead added that he believes some parents would weed the schoolyards by hand rather than face the problems of dangerous chemicals.__A petition with DURHAM COU NTY SALES ARENA is now chaningits SALE NIG HT TO: WEDNESDAY Starting May 9th ait 8:00 p.m. stookers, feeder cattie, cows, calves, springers, pigs, goats, sheep.
