V 4 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc. March 4, 1987 Courtice Mall Gets Approval by Rob Savage Durham Region has approved the Courtice Heights Development application application for a 2,000 sq. metre shopping mall at Nash and Trull's roads. In a move which Mayor John Winters Winters described as "adversarial" to the Town of Newcastle, the region voted last week in favor of the same mall application which was rejected by the municipality. Mayor Winters argued against the approval. Speaking on behalf of the position taken by Newcastle last October, the mayor said the application should be tabled for six months until its impact on the Courtice area is fully known. He said there were several outstanding outstanding concerns. One was that Courtice already has a designated local central area which does not include include the area owned by Courtice Heights. The mayor said the approval of such a large mall increases the size of that area. The mayor reasoned that the growth of the central area should not be permitted until the region has completed its upcoming Official Plan review for Courtice. Another concern was that the 2,000 sq. metre mall, which will take up about 1.8 acres of land, is close to a 15 acre property in the central Courtice Courtice area which has already been designated designated for a mall. The mayor said the region should not risk threatening that mall's business business at this time. A third concern was that area residents residents did not want the mall. During the delegations to the municipal council last October, four area residents residents spoke out against the proposal, citing traffic problems and the fear of a "teenage hangout" among their concerns. "In this particular case, we're trying trying to do what we think is best and to Van Belle Floral Shoppes ... much more than a flower- store! 4 STORES • Highway No. 2 • King St. E.,Oshawe • SlmcoeSt. N„ Oahawa • King St. W., Bowmanvillc look after the long-term concerns of the area," Mayor Winters said. "We're not saying we don't want it," he added. "We're saying it's premature." premature." He argued that because there is no immediate citizens' demand for the mall, there is no reason why council has to make an immediate decision. However, regional council rejected the mayor's plans to table the issue by voting in favor of the application. Among those arguing in favor of the application was Councillor Marie Hubbard, a Newcastle councillor and the Chairman of Regional Planning. She admitted that her views were contrary to the motion approved by the Town of Newcastle. She said the mall would not impact other businesses in the area and that it would not seriously affect the Official Official Plan policies for Courtice. "I feel that Courtice has been studied to death," Councillor Hubbard Hubbard said. "I don't concur with Mayor Winters' comments on the central Courtice area and I don't concur with the tabling." Uxbridge Mayor Geri Lynn O'Connor O'Connor said council should not be concerned concerned with the impact on the 15 acre site which already has approval for a mall. She said construction should have already started at that site. "If the first one can't get his act together together and get the buildings on that property, why should we protect that person?" she asked. Oshawa Councillor Irv Harrell added that he did not believe the Courtice Heights mall would have an impact on the 15 acre property. The Regional Council approval follows follows two approaches from the developer developer to win approval at the municipal municipal level. Prior to last week's decision, the land owned by the developer could only accommodate a 500 sq. metre structure.

The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education may establish a special recognition fund to honour those who make special contributions contributions to the education education system. At last Thursday's board meeting, trustees approved a recommendation recommendation by the Communications Communications committee that the board approve a special recognition fund of $5,000 as a new initiative initiative for budget consideration. consideration. Committee chairman Peter Parrott explained that the fund would be used to recognize the contributions or achievements of staff, volunteers, parents, students students and teachers. He said that it hasn't been determined what the recognition would be as yet, but that it would likely be in the form of a memento such as a lapel pin or plaque. Trustee Judi Armstrong revealed that she didn't think-the recommendation recommendation was as important as others, and that it would not likely be passed at later stages of the budget process. But trustee Mike Slocombé noted that all new initiatives would have to be put on a priority priority list. "We each see the benefits of one or the other," he said. "We have to consider them when they are all in a group package. I think this recommendation recommendation should be in there as well." After the meeting, trustee Bob Spooner said that the money would be a small price to pay to recognize the contributions contributions of people doing over and above what is called for. He noted that a lot of schools already do it now within their own systems but suggested the board should set up its own policy. policy.
