8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, July 6,1994 Town Urged to Buy Creek Valley From Page One up to fundraise, when asked by Councillor John O'Toole how the municipality would pay for the property. To Councillor Ann Dreslinski who put forward a question about neighbors' concerns, he stated, "Our community wants a park." Councillor David Scott wondered out loud if the business owners who signed another petition regarding the saving of the creek valley lands from developers would be willing to help financially. "It's one thing to sign a petition and another to ask them to dig into their pockets," Councillor Scott said. A number of other residents were in attendance and supported the idea of keeping the creek valley free from development Among them was Nancy Armstrong, Armstrong, a 20-year resident of Bow- manville. "This particular parcel of land is one of our only areas left with untouched untouched land, tree growth and water supply all together, which provides not only beautiful, peaceful scenery for our community to enjoy, but an important life support system of food and shelter for many species of birds, wildlife and fish. "If we allow this land to be developed, developed, we min the last place in Bowmanvillc many of these animals have and need to survive," Armstrong Armstrong stated. She noted her family chose to live in Bowmanvillc because of the green spaces that exist here. "Bowmanville Creek is part of our heritage. Let's set an example for other communities." "Bowmanville Creek is part of our heritage. Let's set an example for other communities to follow by working together to respect and protect protect our green space, and keep a little little of what makes Bowmanville unique," she implored. The only local resident who spoke in favor of the proposed housing housing development was Dwayne Tapp. He said the developer has offered a compromise in suggesting that only part of the land be developed for residential units, while a little more than 23 hectares would be "open space." Tapp noted the solution is probably probably one of the best the residents will find.

It's unusual for a tire to "blowout" while you're driving, driving, especially if you maintain maintain your tires properly. If the air goes out of a tire, it's much more likely to leak out slowly. But if you should you ever have a "blowout", here's a few tips about what to expect and what to do. If a front tire fails, the flat tire will create a drag that pulls the vehicle toward that side. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and grip the steering wheel firmly, steer to maintain position, then gently brake to a slop well out of the traffic lane. A rear blowout, particularly particularly on a curve, acts much like a skid and may require the same correction you'd use in a skid. In any rear blowout remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. Get the vehicle under control by steering the way you want it to go. It may be very bumpy and noisy but, you can still steer. Gently brake to a stop, well off the road if possible. If your tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on your Hazard warning flashers.

Speaking on behalf of Weston and Associates was Rosemarie Humphries. Humphries noted that 75 per cent of the land held by the developer would be open space once the development development took place. She said that while density numbers numbers have increased, the actual amount of land used has decreased. The developers "do not anticipate a diversion of the creek" and will be working with the municipality in regards regards to bank stabilization. At one point in the questioning of Humphries, Councillor O'Toole asked her if the developers would consider selling the property to the municipality. Mayor Diane Hamre jumped in and stated the municipality does not discuss property matters in public. The report which was the basis of the public meeting has been sent back to the Planning Department for further processing.

Richards A marketing analyst will be looking looking at how "the big box theory" would impact the Bowmanville Main Central Area. "It came totally out of the blue at the hearing," Clarington Chief Administration Administration Officer Bill Stockwell told The Statesman on Tuesday afternoon. afternoon. Stockwell said during the OMB hearing regarding the west-end plaza plaza proposed by Markborough Properties Properties the Bowmanville Mall representative representative brought up the issue of monster facilities like some in the United States. "They discussed the power centre approach," he stated. This approach would put a department department store, food store and big box retailers together in a monster facility rather than the commtinity shopping centre as proposed by Markborough Properties. The idea threw the Clarington representatives for a loop. "Our representatives went away shaking their heads," said Stock- well. However, with "the chairman thinking it has some merit" Claring- ton's market analyst will follow it up, said Stockwell. The additional cost of nearly $30,000 will be picked up by Markborough Markborough Properties not the municipality, municipality, said Stockwell. The marketing analyst, Jeff Cli- Be Careful When Disposing of Weed Control Containers Cleaning Up After: Now that time for applying most weed control products is coming to an end, it is time to complete the cleanup of the containers. The plastic plastic containers, that the herbicide was packaged in, must be triple-rinsed or pressure-rinsed before delivery to a pesticide container recycling program site collection centre. For 1994, the sites in this area include Agrico Canada Canada Ltd., Cavan, Gibson Ag. Supplies, Supplies, Bowmanvillc; Kawartha Consumers Consumers Co-op, Lindsay; Oakwood Agromart Ltd., Oakwood; Peterborough Peterborough District Co-op Services, Peterborough; Peterborough; Port Perry Feeds, Port Perry; Stouffvillc Co-operative Association, Association, Stouffvillc; and W.G. Thompson & Sons Pontypool. Rinsing the containers is very important important and makes sense. The farmer should use all the product that has been paid for, and the containers must be clean before the centre will accept them. The sprayer must also be cleaned after use, Directions for cleaning out the sprayer after applying applying some herbicides arc found on the label, or general directions arc in the manual for the sprayer, or in Pub. #75 "The Guide to Weed Control" from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. Crop Tours Crop tours arc usually held in July to look at some of the crops and management management used to grow them. Details are being finalized for lours in this urea.

Stockwell said that while the municipality municipality doesn't want to pre-judge the idea, many are thinking the idea "just doesn't make sense for here."
