Propose 22-lot estate residential plan A proposed 22-lot estate residen- tial plan has been sent back to staff for further processing on a 53 acre parcel of land in Concession two, Clarke Township, just east of the Newcastle Golf Course. The application has been made by Keith Allin on lands that have been termed inadequate for agricultural purposes and to which the Ministry of Agriculture has not objected. The Golf course buts the lands on the west and south and is located on the west side of Brownsville Road. The School Board is the only ob- jection to the proposal pointing out thàt the Newcastle School is presently overcrowded. The board does expect an extention to the school in the next three to four years. Allin has had submitted a number of reports as to the soil, groundwater, landscape ar- rangements. Although consultants have noted concerns they have of- fered mitigative measures as part of their recommendations. A further report will come back to council for final consideration.

This majority was contrary to the total vote across the province which favoured Mike Harris 7 to 5 over Cunningham. The exercise in selecting a new leader for the party was a departure from the past dispensing with a leadership convention at which delegates from the various riding associations carried the power of 1990 vote. Ail members of the Pro- gressive Conservative Associations held one vote to make their in- dividual choice. The centre of action and vote for Durham East Conservatives was held in the Bowmanville Arena Saturday afternoon with voting tak- ing place at 2 and continuing until 3. Of the 453 members of the Durham East Conservatives 242 cast their ballots which represented a 53 percent participation. 132 ballots were cast for Diane Cunn- ingham with 109 for Mike Harris. This gave Cunningham 55 points at Toronto Central and 45 points for Harris. Many of the local conservatives arrived early at the Bowmanville (Continued page 2) St. Mary's Cement with conditions Recyling Centre disputes Over the objections of the Port Darlington Comnmunity Association and their lawyer, the Town has given approval for a site plan agree- ment between St. Mary's Cement and the town of Newcastle. The agreement allows the con- struction of three storage silos and accessory structures on the existing 'dock' area. The Port Darlington group have continually objected to the develop- Finally Metro and Durham have come to terms over the development of a Durham dump in Whitevale that will be used both by Durham and Metro. The deal has been under consideration for more than 16 months. Durham is to continue now negotiating with the province who owns the property to either pur- chase or lease the lands. The dump is to be an interim solution for garbage disposal until the year 1996. The Region will be paid $21 million immediately by Metro with ment due to noise, dust, water con- tamination. Three conditions are to be met by St. Mary's in that no further buildings are to be erected without prior approval through a site plan and building permit application. Lighting of the area is to be directed as not to affect existing residents. A third requirement calls for an earth berm or barrier fence to be erected along the easterly boundary another $21 million at time of com- pletion of the landfill site. Durham expects to profit by $251 million over the term of the agreement and is also assured of dumping privileges at Durham West until the end of 1992. Although Durham and Metro have signed an agreement there is considerable opposition to the plan. The Town of Pickering is oppos- ing the plan as is the Whitevale and District Ratepayers' Association and as well the Pickering and Ajax Citizens Together for the Environ- ment.

Thea Dorsey, speaking on behalf of the residents in the area said that St. Mary's had not considered alter- natives to their plan nor had they upheld their part to open com- munications with the residents. Dorsey also said the company is now calling on approval by June lst or they will be forced to close down for a four month period this fall. Counc. Hooper said the residents were calling for too many restric- tions and that under such restric- tions the company could not con- tinue its operation. "Where do the 300 to 400 find other jobs", he ask- ed. John Willms also spoke on behalf of the Port Darlington group stating that residents did have ma- jor environmental concerns and they had been unable to com- municate with St. Mary's. "They have serious concerns," stated Willms, "But St. Mary's says I will do it my way." He also said St. Mary's has said they want approval in three weeks or they will close down. "It is down to the wire - this is it", said Willms. Willms asked council members to refer the site plan back to staff and that St. Mary's deal with the residents and the environment. He noted that there had been no com- ments back from the Ministry of the Environment at this point as to possible environmental concerns. Dickson Wood of St. Mary's Ce- ment said the firm has had a cer- tificate of approval from the Ministry of the Environment for their full plan since November of 1988. He intimated that the operation of the conveyor system would be (Contnued page 3) regional recycing figures Conflicting reports are being made over the cost of the Durham Recycling program.
