4 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, October 18, 1762 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN REALTORS' "CIVIC NIGHT" NEXT TUESDAY Jack Sheriff would remind one and all of an important upcoming event -- the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board's third annual Civic Dinner in St. Gregory's Auditor- ium next Tuesday, The realtors have built this event into a really impressive affair ("Big Daddy'? Fred Gardiner was their speaker one year); Big names from the municipal world of Oshawa and district will again be on hand. Dr. Kennety McFarland, this year's speaker, needs no introduc- tion to Oshawa. He was here in 1955 at the kick-off dinner of the Greater Oshawa Community Chest Drive and it was not difficult for his audience to understand why he had been billed as "'one of the nation's foremost public speakers" as he is still being billed). His subject will be "'Let's Sell Success'. "VISTA" RATEPAYERS GET SYMPATHY, PROMISES An unhappy but orderly group from the Lake Vista Ratepayers Association (93 strong) turned up at City Halt Monday night. They listened attentively (like citizens who were to hear a fateful decision) while W. R. 'Bill' Eyre, their articulate president end spokesman, unfolded a sad story of neglect .on the part of somebody in'regards to their area (Thomas street on the north, Park road on the west, Lake Ontario on the south and Oshawa Creek) Mr Eyre said it was City Council's (past and present) fault that conditions had deteriorated in his area until it had become "a civic eyesore". (He said the Lake Vista area was "overlook- ed completely' while pref- Wilson Fox, Dundas Street store owner, indicates one of the spent bullets in a Wood- stock gun battle Wednesday that took the life of police Constable Thomas Black, 33.

Provincial Police Constable G. B. Workman said his first intimation of the tragedy was a telephone call received from Holawachs' son at noon Sept: 5. The son said his father and the rest of the party were ex- pected back at Kitchener by Tuesday morning. The car used by the party was located from the air at Westree, 20 miles south of Gagoma. A dands and forests plane sent over Lake D spotted caused by carelessness and neg-| Witness, Tells Of Drowning, Afraid To Attempt Rescue Const, Workman said a num- ber of articles from the boat were found floating in the lake. He said there were no regu- lations governing the use of small boats such as this one. The small véssels regulations of the Canada Shipping Act spe- cifies. the capacity and motor sizes approved for different sized boats, but it applies only to craft of 16 feet or over powered by motors of 10 horse- power or more.

The delegation got sympa- thy and. promises, but. it wanted action. Her Worship said Council "deeply appre- ; ciated" how serious their ALDERMAN WALKER problems were and added, "but we have similar problems in other parts of the City." Alderman Walter Branch appeared to be more successful in pouring oil on troubled waters, "We are spending $182,000 on storm sewers for the Cedar street area -- we have storm sewer problems all over the City," he said in a calm, friendly voice that seemed to be full of understanding. The only group that could correct the situation was City Council, said Mr. Eyre. He wanted immediate meetings with City officials. He was tired of getting what he called "the brush-off". He was especially disturbed by "the lack of maintenance" on the part of the City in his area. He said other areas got '"'preferential treatment." "We have more than 80 residents in the Chamber to- night, Your Worship," said Mr Eyre. "If the City doesn't co-operate more and act on some of our recommendations within one month we will be right back on your doorstep. I promise you we will bring back 500 or more of our supporters. We are serious about getting some action from City Council. Somewhere along the way, someone made Lake Vista sub- division an awful mess. Whether it was through bad plan- ning -- or the lack of planning -- has still to be determined. The potholes in the road and the lack of roads mainten- ance, to name one thing, is a disgrace for a City of this size." ' He said some roads were repaired simply because the locations of "bad spots" had appeared in The Oshawa Times. He wanted to know why the City planned to '"'surface" Cedar street and how the cost would be split? He said that City bulldozers were '"'pushing" boulevards into the ditches and not replacing them. Mr. Eyre said that safety and health hazards existed on avery vacant lot in the subdivision and that weeds were not cut, that there was broken glass. There was a lack of drain- age facilities and culverts, he added, also a lack of storm sewers. Alderman Finley Dafoe (who turned up at a meeting of the ratepayers' group last Sunday) tried to explain how the Board of Works budget was always chopped at budget time because it was the biggest and how this seriously curtailed much essential work (thanks to over-spending by gropus like the Board of Education); but he was interrupted at least twice by Her Worship who charged that he was making a 'political speech'. Mr. Dafoe, (the angry Council rebel who likes to speak his mind regardless. of the occasion), said that he had been yelling for years for the City to 'clean up the weeds" but that his fellow councillors wouldn't listen to him ("This is the result," he shouted.) Alderman Albert V. Walker hit the nail on the head when he said: "What we want here is action, not political speeches, expressions of sympathy" (which remark was greeted by cheers from the audience). The case of the Lake Vista Ratepayers has a strong lesson for most taxpayers -- that it can be costly if a sub- division, or any other group, sits back and pays a little or no attention to City Hall, or the Board of Education or the PUC, We are all guilty of such negligence in varying de- grees and it can be costly, especially if we don't keep an alert eye on our elected representatives for years at a time. The Lake Vista Ratepayers, thanks to people like "Bill'"' Eyre, are now a well-organized, efficient group whose voice of protest has been heard of late in high municipal places. Let's hope that their plea' for help does not go unheeded, that it is not too late. HAWES HELP TO SELL OSHAWA Fred Whalley, president of the Oshawa Hawks basketball team, is looking for some "'angels,"' sports-minded citizens of financial means with a sense of civic pride who like to see the City's name prominently displayed around the Province when championship time arrives, ' Fred has a point -- the Hawks have already done much to promote the name of Oshawa in the sports world, while almost losing their shirt at the gate. In four years they won two Ontario championships and were finalists in southern Ontario playoffs, They won 59 games and lost 27, They have never lost a playoff game at home in four years. The bulk of their income goes for gym rentals and referee fees. The players pay their own travelling expenses. They have the players to bring another Ontario title to Oshawa, even a Dominion championship (if they move to senior play). All Mr. Whalley (725-7110) needs is money.
