The locations selected are Dickson Street and Church Street, Park Street at Main Street and the north end of Mill street near the- Millson Hill Drive.

Despite prodding trom Coun Ken Lyall, Newcastle town council Monday wouldn't vote against relocating the Osh- awa airport in Newcastle. Oshawa-Whitby MP Ed Broadbent is meeting with urban affairs minister Barnet Danson this week, proposing that the airport be relocated and the present site used for housing. Coun. Lyall said he had heard that plans were to relocate the airport within the town of Newcastle, and he asked his fellow councillors to come out against "any action relocating the Oshawa airport in Newcastle." But he couldn't get a seconder for bis motion. "I'm not in favor of the motion right now," said Coun. Kirk Entwisle. "I might support the motion next week, but-not now." "If a girl is getting raped, no one asks her whether she wants it or not, she just yells. And that's what I'm doing, said Coun. Lyall. Mayor Garnet Rickard, said he had personally voted three locations for the airport within the town. "If someone wants to build an airport here he'd have to get in fouch with the proper authorities for permission," he added. ORONO W f fK Y 'UIES, SfPi 1'MBEIR 25th, 1974 Mr. N. Richardson, a chief planner with the Province of Ontario, was the guest speak- er at a COMPEC is a joint organization formed by local hydro commissions througb- out the southern district of Durham region. The meeting was held in the Newcastle Community Hall with the Newcastle Commission as hosts for the evening. Com- missions were represented from Orono, Newcastle, Bow- manville, Oshawa, Whitby, Pickering and Ajax. Mr. N. Richardson took as his subject, "The Road Ahead". He said the planning process now known as the Toronto Centre Region plan was started some ten years ago when the province started the Metro Toronto Transport- ation Study. He said if was soon brought to light that one could not study future trans- portation plans unless they knew where the people would be at that time, and so such a study was started. In May of 1970 the govern- ment presented a policy decision to be known as the Toronto Centred Region Plan with some basic characteris- tics for the area. He pointed out that Zone one along the lake from Hamilton to Osh- awa was noted as an urban area with a Parkway Belt. There was also considerable development prÔposed for the Port Hope- Cobourg area. Zone 2 set aside an area to the north of Zone one as a Greenbelt area to remain in farming and some recreat- 4onal use Âlthough he said that the TCR plant was not government policy there was considerable thought to change in the plan. 15 Years To Complete Bird Book, Fifteen years of work by two enthusiastic and know- ledgeable ornithologists -bas now resulted in the publicat- ion of a book titled 'Birds' of the Oshawa-Lake Scugog Re- gion. The co-authors of the books are two former Oshawa boys, James M. Richards, now of R.R.2, Orono, and Ronald G. Tozer now of Whitney, Ontario. The book contains an annotated list of all the species of birds known to have been reliably observed in the area of Oshawa, the former Townships of Whitby, East Whitby, Darlington, Reach, Scugog and Cartwright. It describes the relatives numb- ers in which the birds appear, when they appear and their breeding status within the study area. 308 birds in the region are outlined in the book along with 14 others consider- ed 'hypothefical.' The book is not an identific- ation guide for birds in the area but is a companion guide to any identification book for those birds which either live in the area or migrate through the area durng certain per- iods uofthe year. Spcial features in the book refer to winter count of birds, specimens, water towl band- ing, nesting of the Little Gull as well as a Bluebird bird bouse project and the Cowbird parasitism. Mr. RIchards who has lived just east of Orono for almost seven years bas always held an interest in nature and JAMES RICHARDS birds. He and Ronald Tozer became close associates in the early 1960s and in August of 1967 declared that the information they had would be publshed in a book for ev'eryone's use. The past seven years all spare time bas been devoted fo compiling information from journals, magazines, newspapers, libr- aries and files of the Royal Ontario Museum along with the information from their own files to be contained in the book, 'Birds'. The co-author states that it was amazing the amount of information that was avail- (Continued page 2) RON TOZER Ile noted that a lot had happened in the area since May of 1970 with four new Regional areas being set-up, the federal proposal for a new airport in the Pickering area and the north Pickering Community being proposed by the government of Ontario. Mr. Richardson stated that the TCR plan has been refined since 1970 and that the refining had been completed but as yet had not been made public. He felt it would be made public in the not too distant future but was careful to say that some changes could well be considered with some of the new thinking that is being presented. He said that many are beginning to feel that the population figur-, es are too great for the area where in the Oshawa area it was noted that 400,000 could reside by the year 1985. He pointed out repeatedly that he was only speaking as a civil servant and was hopeful of keeping within his limits. In speaking of the Parkway Belt he said that the western section of the belt had been planned in detail. The Eastern section, he said, was still in (Continuea page 2, Nurse makes weekly visit Miss Carr of the Durham Regional Health Unit visits the Orono Public School on a weekly basis.
