Don Anderson, with the Community Services of the Durham Regionai Police, and a familiar face at our local schools, will leave the active scene as of April ist, due to retirement. Anderson has been a member of the Durham Regional Police since 1974 and prior Io that a member of the Bowmanville Police force where he began bis career in 1958. During his time with Regional Police Anderson visited the schools in Orono and other areas with School Safety programs and was also involved in crime prevent,ion. He has spent ten years in the Community Services depart- ment. With his retirement the area in the Town of Newcas- tle is being divided into two sectors with Con. Peter Bramma taking over Ander- son's duties in the eastern sec- tor of the Town and Con. Nancy Dillon, a ten year veteran with the force, taking over the duties in the Bowmanville area and western sector of the Town. School children in this area will long remember the visits of- Anderson to their schools. Local businessmen along the Highway 115-35 strip south of Orono and some customers have signed a peti- tion outlining business losses and the inconveniences the median wall has had in the area. Sam Cureatz has directed the petition to the Hon. George McCague, Minister of Transportation and Com- munication for his considera- tion and noting that the businessmen were requesting compensation for their loss from the Ministry. In speaking wih Fred Cancelliere at the Forum Restuarant, he said the total average loss along the strip had amounted to an average of 26 percent and that some were claiming losses up to 60 percent. He also said customers were complaining of the in- convenience and were, in fact, having difficulty in fin- ding their way around. Cancelleire said the signs were inadequate in size and did not seem to give the pro- per direction for the travell- ing public. He pointed out that all businesses have fixed costs and the loss was a con- siderable amount to try and offset. He also stated he had ap- plied for a tax rebate due to the loss of business but never even received a reply to his letter. "We are lot telling them what to do," he said, "but that they have an answer for our problems." Durham Fast MPP Sam Cureatz announced last week that he will again seek the PC nomination for the riding on February 28th for a third term at Queen's Park. The nomination is to be held in the Courtice High School commencing at 8 p.m. with guest speaker Honourable Andy Brandt, Minister of Industry and Trade. Cureatz states he had been looking for an early provin- cial election in June but that a provincial vote may be push- ed into the fall depending on the federal budget outcome. Cureatz, 36 year old iawyer from Newcastle was first elected in 1977 when he unseated Doug Moffatt, N.D.P. member for the riding. Cureatz has served as chairman of general govern- ment committtee of the legislature, as deputy speaker and most recently parliamen- tary assistant to the then solicitor general, George Taylor. Cureatz is expected to receive the nomination through acclamation, accor- ding to Marianne Zakarow, president of the riding association. There are more than 500 delegates qualified to vote at the nomination representing 170 polls in the riding.
