~r -.-~ - Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, December 19, 198413 Oppoil,ýse -expansion Yý-l-onservation area Residents livinfg in the area of the Long Sault Conserva- tion Area, Darlington Township, expressed their opposition tLo a draft plan of expansion for the conserva- tion area which was presented to the Town of Newcastle General Purpose comimittee on Monday. Council mnembers hecard fr-omt eight to ten residents who opposed f ur t he-r development in the area which would require addi- tional land purchases. Mr. David Craig, a farmer in the area stated that ex- celerated use at the conserva- tion area caused concerns as to greater abuses to adjac-nt property owners. Those expressing views in the main were opposed to hunting in the area whîch, they stated, were already causîng problems which at times was un-nerving. They said the expansion plans would only increase the pro- blem the residents now face especially as to hunting. Mr. Mike Kaskins said hunting was not compatible with a conservation area and that the conduct ofsome hunters was disgusting. He said he has complained of hunfing- infraction and no one seems to want to be resnonsible. Osiers said there had been a lack of commiunication and dialogue on the part of the Conservation Authority with th-e area residients. One resident stated that Conservation emýïploycees wander over tueir Iaus ;iaK ing surveys without even ap- proaching the property ,,owner" for permission. Another property owner said they had no wish to sell their land to the Co"nserva- tion Authority while another said they had just moved into the area to now find their property is to be taken over by the Authority somnetimne in the future. Mr. Rick Clow, represen- ting the Authority presented the plan and answered ques- tion when they arose from the delegation. He stated that the conservation authority pur- chased land on the open market when it. becarne available. He also pointed out that the masterplan was a twenty year plan and at this time there was no indication when any of the plan would be acted upon. H1e noted that financial restraints do have a lot to do with any program which the conservation might want to undertake. The delegates were inform- ed that it was a Conservation plan and that they should take their concerns to that body. CHEX TV movie at Lang 1 Thursdlay, Deccmber 2Uthi, 1984 at 8:00 p.m. CHEX TV presents the premiere show- ing of its first movie produc- tion, "Incident at Purdy's MillM,." Adapted for television from the award winning play "The Miller" by Lindsay resj4dtD-P Lowe, "Inci- dent at Purdy's Milis" was shot on location ai Lang Cen- tury Village, Keene and Hut- chison House in Peter- borough. The story chronicales the events surrounding the 1837 William Lyon MacKenzie rebellion and takes place in Purdy's Mili (now the Town of Lindsay, Ontario). The settlement's miii operator, Milage William Purdy, is known to be a MacKenzie sympathizer and although completely in- nocent, is accused and charg- cd wîth harboring the fugitive MacKenzie. The movie aiso unfoids the reiationship between Kate Britton, the taverni keepcr's daughter and Duncan Philiips, a young lieutenant with the Peterborough Coun- ty Militia Volunteers. Vibrant performances by Paul Feist as the conniving Thomas Murphy and Cindy Scott as the energetic, if sometimie brattish Addy Britton, bring a most deli_$htfui and enjoyabie aspect to this truly famiiy oriented production.

The report was comimen- ting and presenting a pro- posai which was deveioped through a sub-commiittee of' the Community Services Planning Board, a body ýwich was formed eariier thîs year to comment on recrea- tionai and cultural deveiop- ment within the Town of Newcastle. A request by the Bowman- ville United Soccer Club for additionai soccer pitches in Bowmanviile was turned over to the Planning Board which matter was deait with by a sub-committee composed of Bernard Heming of the Tyrone area, Bill Tomlinson,' Orono and Lorraine Lover of Newcastle Village.

Your two- year o grabs it, puts it into his outh then, realizing, it is t can dy, tries to spit it out. But it cracks, and a piece of the plastic lodges in his windpipe, or is aspirated (in- haled) into his lungs. lt's a possible tragedy in the midst of fun, because aspiration of foreign objects is a leading cause of death and injury among children under six years of age. Holiday time, with its bright, brittie ornaments, plastic decorations and distracted parents is a par- ticulariy dangerous- period for curious toddlers who in- stinctiveiy grab for objects and put them in their mouths. Wh at can parent do to keep pre-schooiers safe? Durham Region Lung Association suggests: - Do not put tiny ornaments low on the Christmas trec. - Ask Santa to bring presents that do not have button eyes or tiny whcels that may come - Remember that food can aiso be aspirated,- se keep small "flner food" (such as peanuts and popcorn) off iow tables, when entertaining.

The coýmmittee as; well viewed the Hydro' Darlington Park site proposed and as wel viewed private property and Town owned lands which couid be suitabie for facilities requested. The sub-committee acknowledged there was a need for additional soccer pitches in Bowmanville and suggest that the Town ap- proach Ontario Hydro to sec if Hydro wouid advance the first stage development date of the Dariington Park coni- plex to,1985 rather thanl 1987 to deveiop two soccer pitches and one bail diamond. The sub-committee also recommended more par- ticipation from the United Soccer Club. It was feit the soccer clubs should have more input and respon- sibilities in the developmient and- maintenance of soccer fields sucih as iining their own fields before gamnes and sup- plying goal posts where ap- propriate as is now bcing donc by other soccer groups within the Town of Newcas- tic. Council referred the recommendation to the Hydro Laision Committee for their consideration when meeting with Ontario Hydro. by-Arlin Hackman ATLAS NEARS THE HOME STRETCH It's hard to believe, but Ontario's Breeding Bird Atlas is aiready fouir years oid and will finish next year, Back in 1981, it Iooked like an almost inisurmountabie challenge. Yet here it is 80% complete, with great progress being made during the past breeding season once again. Though mnost of the survey blocks have been filled in on the provincial mnap, impor- tant discoveries are stili flow- ing in at a great rate. Understandly, many corne from the far north where the Atlas is breaking new grounid. This year, for exam- -pie, the greater scaup was confirmed to be breeding at the mouth of James Bay. New breeding locations for littie gulis aiso turned up on the Bay and on the Winisk River. To the south, a new pair of cinnamon teal were found at a sewage pond. Several new hcnslow's sparrow colonies were also sighted in the Luther Lake area and at least two new locations wcre added for golden cagies and one each for great egrct and pro- thonotary warbler. The Algonquin, North Bay and Sudbury regions now re- quire the greatest field work next year. Overal' roughiy fifty square blocks remaini to be visited across thre province. Wîth the comrpletion date ap- proachingand the access to free flighlts started to dry up, the window afforded by the seven or eighit week peak season ini 1985 is looking smiailer and smnaller to Atlas Coordinator Mike Cadmnan. But the e dedication that promipted volunteers to dr-ive froni Florida to do Atlas work in Moosonce is sure to sec the project through to a successfutl conclusion. StilI it mieans early planning, especialiy for the rexnote trips whiclh will be targeted at very specific areas next summer. So if you're interested, drop a hune right away. Even if you can't travel you may be able to hetp from where you live.
