Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 19, 1975 A week ago Wednesday hight more than 400 Courtice residents attended a meeting at Courtice Secondary School to hear lanning consultants outline tb e Courtice Concept. The Concept would put 46,000 people in t he Courtice area. It was initiateci Dy trie rown ot Newcastle under the Ontario Housing Action Program. The following is a continua- tion of last week's article in the Canadian Statesman. Dur- ing a question period, many residents expressed opposi- tion to the concept. Reasons given were the maintaining of a green belt between Oshawa and Newcastle, the proposed nigh density of their home area, the agricultural land in the area that would be destroyed, and the ownership of Courtice land by a land speculating conglomerate. Newcastle planner George Howden explained that since most of Courtice's hard ser- vices such as water would be coming in from the existing Oshawa system, to widen the green belt would only increase the amount of connecting truck lines needed, thus in- creasing the cost of construc- tion. There would be no real added benefit to the town he contended. Newcastle planner George Howden explained that since most of Courtice's hard ser- vices such as water would be coming in from the existing Oshawa system, to widen the green belt would only increase the amount of connecting truck lines needed, thus in- creasing the cost of construct ion. There would be no real added benefit to the town he contended. Mayor Rickard noted that if Oshawa had been able to annex the 10 westerly lots of Darlington Twp., the talk would have been about putting 75,000 people in the Courtice are and probably, a new Oshawa Airport. Some saw the density of the Concept plan as another problem. Right now Courtice exists as a 2,000 person village with housing strung out along the maior roads.

DRIVING TIP The Defensive Driver Defensive driving means driving so as to prevent accidents in spite of the actions of others or the presence of adverse driving conditions.. To be a defensive driver you must tailor your driving behavior to the unexpected actions of other drivers and pedestrians, to the unpredict- able and ever changing factors of light, weather, road and traffic conditions, to the mechanical condition of your vehicle and even to how you feel. From March 10 1975 to March 16, 1975~the Newcastle Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police investigated nineteen Motor Vehicle Col- lisions and eighty-seven gen- eral occurrences. As a result of these col- lisions which caused injuries to fifteen persons, one person bas been charged with. a driving offence under the Criminal Code. Some of the general occur- rences investigated were; four "BREAK &ENTER", four "WILFUL DAMAGE" and two 'THEFT". Other investigations concerned re- ports of found properties, various driving complaints and two domestic complaints. Five persons have been charged with offences under the Li or Control Act, one person as been charged with impaired driving and eight persons have been charged with offences under the Crim inal Code. On Saturday, March 15, 1975 it was reported that damage had been caused to a partially completed residence on Han- cock Road S., by persons using firearms. Investigation by Provincial Constable D.G MARTIN re- vealed that two persons, James Stuart WALLIS and David Alln McCOY, both of Oshawa were responsible for this damage. As a result, both WALLIS and McCOY have been charg- ed with "MISCHIEF" and "DANGEROUS USE OF FIREARMS" and summonsed to appear in Provincial Court on April 29, 1975. Always Fasten Your Seat Belt MOTORISTS! It's an estab- lished fact that seat belts reduce the chances of death or serious injury to the occupants of a car in the event of a collision. Extensive research is supported by the many people who, when wearing seat belts, either survived a serious collision or escaped serious injury. Many of these collisions occurred at speeds less than 40 miles per hour and within 20 miles of home. When you get in your car, remember . .. ALWAYS fasten your seat belt before the car is moved . and make sure the other members of your -family fasten their seat belts too.
