Pictured above area: (back row)Randy Tennant, manager, Paul Rosseau, Giuy Coun cil divided on Courtice sewering On a split recorded vote on Monday the Town of Newcastle counicil gave authority for retendering of a rcduced storm sewer project for the Courtice area. The estimatcd cost of the project has been set at $325,.000 reaching a total of almrost $500.000 with $169,000 already hating been spent towards storm sewering. If the tenders are aceepted and the project proceeds it would allow a total of 100 homes to be built by Courtice Heights developmient. Counces. Cowman, Hamre and Hubbard voted agaînst retendering while Courtcs. Prout, Taylor, Woodyard and Mayor Rickard vote to recail tenders. The previously called tenders for storm isewýering, retention ponds and damis for the Courtice area with a otal cost of $700,000. The tenders were not accepited as t[he Town felt it was:impossýibl"e'to finance the proposal. If thie works have gone ahead it' would have allowed the issu- ing of some 800 building per- mits. The Town niow ,calîs for tendering for a redluced pflanl- ned costing a totaïl $5,000Gfl for 100 homes. Counc. Cowman questio,>n- cd the availability of funding for the project and pointed out that thc 100 homnes wý,old only produce $150,000 in lot levies to the Town and that only one third of this amount would be available for the project due to the existing regulations to such funds. Don -',iith said if the Town was to use aIl the lot lcvy monies for the storm sewer project it would require a change in the lot levy bY- law so that the full amiount of $1500 could be used for Storm sewring. Cowman notcd that such levies wcrc to bc divided bet- ween public works, com- rnunity services and ad- istration, Counc. Cowman said she found it difficult to unders- tand that the proponents had flot corne forth prior to the matter corning before coun- cil. She said she would"table the matter to allow Courtice Hcights to corne forth. No such action was taken. Counc. Hamrc said she was opposcd to procceding to retendering. She pointed out that expected growth had flot taken place as cxpected, that the Brooklin development would advcrsely affect any expccted dcvloprnent in Courtice and that the Murray Joncs study had shown that there was adequate housing in the Town of Newcastle to hiandle t-hose working- at the Darlington Generating sta- tion. She said although there was mone-y available from the province, interest free, it had ,o be paid back. She aiso said it ,vould ikely require all the monies frorni lot levies and as such would in effcct be a burden, on the existing tax- payers in the Town. Hamre also pointed out that Ontario Hydro had told couincil membhers that funds could flot be taken frorn the Station 'A' account and in fact said, if they were foolish enouigh, they could take it f romn the Station '-B' account. Counc. Harnire said there was nô way lot levies were go- ing to pay baek the cost of the project and as such this would be a cost to the cxisting taxpayers. Counc. Woodyard said he agreed and disag-reed wîtih Counc. Harnre. He said the province would provide in- tercst free money if the Town showed sonie activity as to development in Courtice. Uc asked Smith if he could be assurcd before the letting of tender that an agreemient wth the developer could be ar- ranged that was viable for the Town. Don Smith sad the cal- Brachvogel, Greg Vey, George Vey, Coach), Front Row: Erie Dreslinski, David Dawes, Richie Dupe, Chris ing of tenders would put the onuis on staff to negotiate with Courtice Heights as well as with Hydro to corne up with funding for the scheme. Smith said lie could flot guarantee development in the sub-division. He did say, however,ý that Courtice Heights had mentioned a let- ter of credit in the amount of $175,000 which would cover haîf the estirnated cost of the tendered portion of the pro- jcct. Counc Taylor said it was premature to make a decision as to Courtice Hcights at this time. "When we have the results of the tenders we would be in a position to make a decision", he said. He pointed out that water and sewer pipes were already Langford, Paul Henry, Mim Wood and Robert French. Absent were Stephen Murree and Jirn Murree, trainer. in the ground and if counicil takes no further action this is hung up. He said he sup- ported going to tender. Counc. Cowman pointed out that two sub-divisions had approval now to go ahead in Courtice flot requir- ing the proposed storm scwers. Mayor Rickard also spoke in favour of proceeding to retendering. He said he was convinced that it was a wise decjsion. The Mayor said the Town should take advantage of the provincial interest-free monies and make full use of funds from Ontario Hydro. He was of the opinion that the Town should play their part in activating develop- ment in the Courtice area. CUt from Canada made'A Recently I went into Toronto's Skyline Hotel -to stay overnight and found the lobby and lower halls jammed with teenagers. They were good looking kids and my first reaction was that they were athletes of sorne sort. 1 went in to ask one of the shopkeepers 1 know in the ho- tel what it was ail about. He leanied over toward me and whispered, "I think they're a bunch of ex-alcoholics, and drug addicts." 1 checked further and found they were just the opposite. They were members of an organization called Toc Alpha which provides young people with an alternative lifestyle to booze and drugs. Sensing a story, my reporter' s nose began to twitch a bit. 1 located the publicity headquarters -on the hotel's third floor and was greeted by 19 year-old Rick Brown, an articulate young guy who explained that Toc Alpha stood for "Taking On Conoerns About Life, People and Human Achievement." After I'd digested that mouthful Rick took me around to some of the activities going on ini various parts of the hotel. There were seminars on everything, from cuis to cartoon- Àng, from pollution to positive thinking. But there was also laughter, music and horseplay in the halls. It was Toc Alpha's 25th annual convention, and more than 800 teenage boys and girls from 14 to 21 were attend- ing the big bash. They, had come from various parts of the province. It's an Ontario based organization backed hy an outfit called Alcohol and Drug Conoerns hIc. which oper- ates ou~t of Don Milis. But the young people run their own show. It took a committee ten months to organize their whopper of a convention! Every week during the year they have something going on somewhere -- skiing parties, hikes, picnics in the sum- mer. And the membership fees are cheaper than a six- pack! They're not affiiated with any religions group. They just don't think you need alcohol or other drugs to havea good time. 1 spent a couple of hours at the convention. Somnehow it ail seemed too good to he true. They're a great crowd of kids. They get high ail night! But only on new concepts, activities, ideas and plain old-fashiýoned friendships!
