w O JL by Andrea Adair Within 30 years, the population of Bowmanville could reach 75,000. Town officials also want to see Courtice, Newcastle Village and Orono expand to 40,000, 15,000 and 7,000 respectively. respectively. This is just one of the recommendations recommendations to emerge from the Town of Newcastle's Newcastle's review of draft changes to the Durham Region Official Plan. A committee of the Town of Newcastle Newcastle Council made further changes to the draft proposal at a meeting Monday Monday after hearing concerns and suggestions suggestions from developers and land owners. [PRESTON We Move It! 623-4433 Bowmanville PROBLEMS - Lions members Carson Elliott and Moe Richards need help. Carson has lost or mislaid a book containing sight- first information and Moe is looking looking for a metal box that disappeared disappeared from his car at the Lions Centre Monday evening. Both items hold essential records, so if you should find them, please return return to Lions Centre, the Statesman Statesman office, or phone 623-2037. Don't discard them. LOST KEY - What appears to be a bank savings deposit box key was found last Thursday on the Goodvear parking lot. That was the day of the Open House. We have it here at The Statesman office, office, King West. No doubt the owner is wondering where it might be. There's a number stamped on it. 1 CORRECTION - Apparently, we . erred last week in a story, contained contained in the Family Album supplement. supplement. The article and headline headline indicated that the first school in Bowmanville was located located on Liberty St., at the site of the Registry office. But this is nat the case. The town's first school was located near the corner of King St. and Scugog St. (It was built approximately where the parking lot east of the former Glen Rae Dairy Building is currently currently located). REMEMBRANCE - Here we are on the verge of another war and another Remembrance Day ceremony ceremony is scheduled for this Sunday Sunday at Cenotaphs in Bowmanville, Bowmanville, Newcastle and Newtonville, plus probably one in Blackstock, all at the same time, between 10:30 and 11 p.m. The one in Orono last Sunday was well attended, attended, but chilly. We'll hope for better weather this weekend. BOTTLE DRIVE - A note just landed on this writer's desk advising advising that the Harrison Fuels Peewee Toros hockey team will be holding a refundable bottle drive this Saturday, Nov. 10th. They will be collecting bottles door to door in Hampton and Bowmanville. For special pick-up please phone _ 623-7737. OUR THANKS - A special if somewhat belated report arrived at our office this week about the recent 135th anniversary at the well known Eldad United Church at Solina. We learned later that it came from Mrs. Arnot Wotten, wife of popular Ward I Councillor. Councillor. She did such a. fine job that we wonder if she might consider taking over from her husband should he decide not to run again. It's just an idea that crossed our mind. RECOVERING - His many friends will be happy to hear that Rev. Ed Schamcrhorn of St. Paul's is out of hospital and at home recovering, taking it easy; following a scare last week. No doubt his medical advisers will be recommending that unpopular exorcise of shoving away from the table to lose some weight. Durham Durham Chairman Gary ilcrrema is also at home mending following surgery and we hear Mayor Marie Marie Huubnrd misscd the Goodyear Union dinner Saturday and is using using n cane. CRAFTS & BAKING - Almost everybody knows how skilled the folks are in Enniskillen, hut maybe maybe you didn't know that the Enniskillen Enniskillen Pathfinders are holding 1 a timely Craft and Bake Sale this Saturday, Nov. 10th from 10 n.m. to 4 p.m. It's at the United Church on the old Scugog Road, north of Hamilton.

The Regional Official Plan recognizes recognizes Whitby/Oshawa/Courtice as the predominant urban centre with growth in surrounding urban areas being being oriented to that centre. Planning staff with the Town are in support of that idea but believe it doesn't adequately reflect the principle of encouraging growth in the eastern part of the Region, a staff report ex- . plains. JL The town is recommending adequate adequate urban structures be put in place to reflect the targeted population growth, the report states. A number of intèrested developers appeared at the committee and noted that for the town to attain their proposed proposed population targets, some plans to delete living areas would have to be removed. Frank Harris, a Bowmanville resident, resident, said the proposed expansion of living areas for Bowmanville is constructive constructive but conservative. He suggested that more northern development would be needed with the development of Highway 407. /7te\ 0 Jane Pepino, from the Northbrook Development Group, which owns land north of Concession 3 and west of Liberty Liberty St., also wants the northern area of Bowmanville to be considered as an area for growth. She said the area can be serviced and suggested without its inclusion in the plan, the municipality could have difficulties meeting its target population. population. Wayne King, from the Orono Development Development Committee, said his group was pleased some of the concerns of the past are being listened to by the Town. But he had some suggestions for further further improvement for Orono. 'To survive, Orono needs sanitary sewer and water services," he said. Services could be brought up from Newcastle Village if there was a larger population base in Orono and both the Orono Development Committee and the Town of Newcastle agree the area should be designated a small urban area. Mike McQuaid, from Fairo Property Group, said servicing to Orono could be more economically feasible if a living living area north of the CPR mainline in Newcastle Village were retained in the Official Plan.

Ganny Garbage Will be Measured in Backyard Three hundred and forty-nine Gan- araska area residents have demonstrated demonstrated a dramatic reversal of the "Not-In-My-Backyard" syndrome. People in the area stretching from Highway 115 to the Newtonville Rond ana from the 8th to 5th Concessions, have agreed to keep all the garbage they have generated during a four- week period in their backyard. They arc participating in a study examining how much garbage is produced in the area. Established by members of the No Gannraskn Dump committee, the project project will make people acutely aware of how much garbage is produced. And the effort will also show politicians and other residents of Durham Region that the public is willing to do something something about their waste. Kristin McCroa, a member helping eo-ordinato the program, said 62 percent percent of the people in the area arc participating participating in the study. She believes the" interest of 109 households shows that "people are willing to do something about the garbage.1 garbage. 1 The national average for garbage produced por person per week is 19 pounds. The average in the Gannrnska area has equalled roughly one and three quarters pounds por person each week. Ministry Begins Study on Highway Connecting Link 407 Route Known Soon Ms McCrca said she is finding that some households which initially had high weights of trash arc gradually reporting reporting a decrease. "When you actually have people not put out garbage they start to think about it," she explained. She noted that many people have told her that since garbage pick-up has been expanded to the rural area in the last two years, residents are producing producing more garbage than they used to when they paid directly to have their garbage disposed. The No Ganoraska Dump Committee Committee is fighting to keep a Durham Region Region long-term landfill site out of the Kendal area. The site is one of five MacLaron Engineers, Engineers, the firm investigating options for tho Region, identified as possible landfill areas. Ms McCrca thinks tho results of this study will prove to ho something worth looking at. Tho region could possibly look at culling back on garbage pickup in tho area onco a month and install a recycling recycling pick-up instead, she suggested. She noted that she was at a waste management meeting a couple weeks ago and a councillor there said people aren't willing to do anything about their waste. 'This proves there is a will and is a desire to do something," she added. by Andrea Adair By early 1991 the route for the 407 Highway should be known. Frank Wu, director of planning with the Town of Newcastle, noted in a report report this week that the preferred alignment will be recommended by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) once possible alignments have been evaluated. That evaluation should be completed completed early next year, he said. Cliff Lumley, from MTO, told members members of the general purpose and administration administration committee on Monday, that the 407 overview study "showed the need for a transportation system in the Durham Region and York" stretching from Highway 404 to Highway Highway 115. Through the overview study, Mr. Lumley pointed out, MTO discovered that a "crosslink" connection in Ajax/ Whitby and Newcastle would be needed. needed. The study of the major north/south connection between Highway 401 and Highway 407 started roughly four months ago. John Sutherland, also from the Ministry, said information centres relating relating to background on the link study and possible alternatives, will be held on November 28 at the Baseline Com- ! ')Nèed Solutions J ■ A provincial committee is tiying to establish methods to prevent future closings of Lake Ontario beaches. But a Durham Regional Councillor believes Durham Region should be taking more responsibility for the problem. Brian Nicholson told Council last week that Durham should take action on the problem itself. "People are unhappy that beaches closed," he said. A committee made up of representatives representatives from the Ministries of Health and the Environment is investigating the water quality of Lake Ontario and urban waterways. The federal government is also examining examining the quality of the lake through its Great Lakes Health Effects Effects Program. A report from the acting medical officer officer of health with Durham Region explained that the program began in January 1990 and is in partnership with the public and communities around the Great Lakes Basin. Councillor Nicholson said there are problems each municipality along the lakeshore can address to deal with preventing beach closures. He suggested suggested that municipalities might set up a "oint committee to co-ordinate the sourions. sourions. Regional Councillor Diane Hamre, chairman of the health and social services services committee, said the condition of Lake Ontario is not solely the Region of Durham's responsibility. Toronto and Port Hope arc taking Turn to Page 2 munity Centre in Bowmanville and on November 29 in Solina. After that, Mr. Sutherland explained, explained, the Ministry would further look at link alternatives and take the information back to the public. A detailed evaluation of the alterna- ' tives would be completed and he suggested suggested that a final plan for the link could be developed in the early part of 1992. The link alternatives wpuld emerge from using constraint mapping procedures procedures such as maps noting land use. agriculture use and environmental constraints. "We have no preference at this time. We plan to review with the public and may have more alternatives after that," Mr. Sutherland said. The other connecting link from Highway 401 to the 407 in the Town wifi be highway 35/115. In the meantime, Town staff have been examining the possible route locations locations for the 407. There are four possible corridors be- Turn to Page 2 < The public school board is beginning beginning the process of developing employment employment equity policies concerning the promotion of women. A report in this week's Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education Education agenda indicates where the board stands presently concerning women in supervisory roles. At the present time, 40 vice principals principals (both elementary and secondary) are employed by the board; 18 aife female female and 22 are male. I . . However, there is a larger gap between between the groups in the position of principal, /' There are 57 principals in total (elementary (elementary and secondary). Only nine in that group are female.

At the end of the . fifth week, $1.7 million had been raised by the organization; organization; Rob Owens, a spokesperson with the United Way, said all the large companies such as General Motors, Goodyear and Ontario Hydro have completed their canvassing. The organization is now looking to the rest of the community to help it reach the goal. Individuals, the commercial sector and professionals are all being asked to help. Mr. Owens said he is optimistic the goal can be reached but noted the end of the campaign is when help is needed needed the most. Over 40 different community agencies agencies are looking to the United Way for funding. lation that seeks to increase the number number of women holding senior posts within boards of education. At the next committee meeting, she expects more information will be presented presented about who may be eligible for principal positions. Former Minister of Education, Chris Ward, announced in 1989 that beginning in September of this year all school boards would be required to establish establish employment equity policies concerning employment and promotion promotion of women. By the year 2000, the former minister minister noted, women's representation in occupational categories should increased increased 50 per cent or more. In the vice principal roles, Mrs. Nowlan noted, the board is in good shape but in the principals' category, "some work has to be done in getting these positions filled." ! She explained that in one way the board is fortunate because there are a number of retirements coming up in the future in those positions and the board has a number of "qualified females" females" able to fill the vacancies. 'Mrs. Nowlan said she thinks the employment equity program is a good idea. "I think we need a balance. We're educating women as well as educating men." "And we aren't promoting people to these positions because they are women. women. They have to have the marks and the qualifications to go along with it," she explained. She feels the board has been fair in terms of employment in the past but with this legislation, she said, "I think we're more conscious of it." "We have a lot of keen, well educated, educated, paid-their-dues, type of women on the board who should be moving up to these types of positions," the trustee added. In addition, Mrs. Nowlan explained, women in senior administrative positions positions will make good role models for both the male and female students. "As a board, we're educating these women. If we don't give them a fair chance, who will?"
