The resolution was to have been dealt with at the meeting April 29, but the seconder, Pickering coun- cillor Alex Robertson, was not present at the meeting, and Oshawa councillor John DeHart who moved the resolution - decided against putting it in front of council for debate and a decision one way or another. The resolution calls for Durham Region to "go on record as being in strong support of building the: Pickering airport, and that the appropriate ministers at both the federal and provin- cial levels be so advised." At the April 29 meeting, Regional councillors heard four speakers who are adamently opposed to any council April 29 the federal government has announced no plans to launch the airport, Rather than trying to pass a resolution in support of the airport, Ms. Stoner said Regional council should pressure the federal govern- ment to return the 18,000 acres of expropriated land to private ownership and help revitalize the small communities in the area which were "so terribly affected by the expropri- plans for the Pickering Airport, including Dr. Paul Godfrey, one of the driving forces behind the People or Planes committee which fought the airport so effec- tively several years ago. The current opposition to the Pickering Airport was summed up by Pickering town councillor Norah Stoner who told Regional BURN URE han MINI CINEMA 985-8535 ations." Ms. Stoner told Regional council that 98 percent of the expropriated land is con- sidered class 1A, or the best agricultural land in the country. She said the experience at Mirabel near Montreal, which cost the taxpayers some $450 million in losses, is ample proof that Toronto does not need a second major airport, and this is further illustrated by the-fact that recently the federal govern- ment announced plans to build a third terminal at Malton. She added that already the Pickering expropriations have cost the taxpayer $150 - million. Part of the reason why councillor DeHart has MAY - 8th - 9th - 10th Friday 7 & 9 P.M.

SES ae TTS TE TH oun CIT TL TY proposed the motion calling on Durham council to support building the airport is the boost it would give in attracting new industry and creating employment in Durham. However, Ms. Stoner in her address to council strongly disputed that claim, stating that if an airport was built the growth would be in Scarborough or Markham, not Durham Region. And again using Mirabel as an example, she said that airport has not attracted a single new industry to the area, despite the fact 80,000 acres of land were expropriated. FARM FEEDS FARM NEEDS Visit Port Perry's New Farm Supply Centre After Ms. Stoner and the three other speakers had concluded their addresses to council, Whitby councillor Tom Edwards tried to get the motion on the floor in the hopes it would be defeated on the spot and the issue put to rest as far as Regional council is concerned. However, because coun- cillor Edwards was not one of the original sponsors of the proposed motion, his request to get it on the floor for debate and a vote required consent from at least two-thirds of the members present. He failed by one vote to get the necessary two-thirds support to deal with the motion. BOX PLANTS & GERANIUMS Arriving This Week JUST IN TIME FOR MOTHER'S DAY!
