2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 5, 1979 Wins Stereo Component in Newcastle Lions Club Draw A Bowmanville resident was the winner of a Realistic component high-fi in a recent draw sponsored by the Newcastle Lions Club. The winner was Don Richardson who is shown in this photo being congratulated by Phil Hayman -(right) of the Newcastle Lions. At left is Ted Denny, of Bowmanville Audio-Vision, which supplied the prize. The draw was held in conjunction with the Newcastle Lions stag night held November 28 at the Newvcastie Community Hall. Ail proceeds go towards the Lions' community From Page 1 for staff at locations outside of the headquarters on Rossiand Rd. is $600,000 per year. He suggested that the cost of debenturing the office building wouid be $1.3 million per year wich means an extra quarter of a million dollars annualiy. 1Councillor Pîlkey suggested that this sort of spending is unwise at a time of inflation and high interest rates. "It seems to me the timing is absoiutely pitiful," he said. He urged the Durham Region to "dig in and hoid on. " Oshawa Mayor Jim Potticary noted that ail other governments are cutting back on their spending. He said the added cost of building an addition to regionai 'headquarters wouid increase the tax bill of every ratepayer by about three per cent. "Let's make sure we have some money in the bank before we get into this thing, " he suggested. Whitby Mayor Jim Gartshore saîd that the basic question is whether or not the Durham Region wants to locate ail of its staff under one roof'. "We've been bouncing this one around since day one," he said. The Whitby Mayor suggested that over the iong-term the project would be a benefit to Durham. Councillor, Gerald Fisher (Whitby) suggested that a new building wouid protect the region from escalating rentai expenses. Another Oshawa councilior voting against the expansion of the headquarters was John Aker. He said "We are too optimistie and are looking at items in isolation." The councillor explaine d that the Durham Region is already taking on a heavy debt load next year. He pointed out that the Bowmanviiie sewage plant will cost $9.4 -million and regionai road improvement wiii also require a lot of funds in 1980. Spending money on expanding the headquarters could have far- reaching impacts, Councillor Aker said. "If you do not defeat it today, it will basically be seen (by the public) as approval. " Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard said there was not enough time last week to fully debate the project. He said that he hoped more information would be available by budget time. The Newcastle Mayor also said that he wanted some assurance that the Bowmanville Registry Office would be kept in Bowmanville. Under the proposed. financing of the headquarters expansion, part of the costs would be recovered from sale of the registry building here. After more than an hour of discussion, Durham regional council overturned three motions proposed by some council members as a compromise. These motions would have sent the expansion plans back to various committee for further study. The final outcome was a defeat of expansion plans at least for the immediate future.
