10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 17, 1975 Section Two Councillor Says Report Co. tains Too Much Info A Whitby representative at the Regional Council level believes a report, presented to the Durham Planning and Development Committee last week from the planning and development staff, contains an excessive amount of in- formation. Councillor Jim Gartshore commented at the committee meeting last Tuesday that he felt some of the alte natives within the categories of the 30 page report could obviously have been thrown out. Supporting Mr. Gartshore's opinion, one of the categories is found to have seven alternaives within it. Disagreeing with Mr. Gart- shore, Planning Director Dr. Mofeed Michael replied, "if you reduce them, someone will say you're a farce." Detailed proposals of the suggested plans are to be presented to the municipal councils throughout the Reg- ion during the remainder of September and October with deserve to pay Iess for car and fire insurance They do at Abstainers'. Because our experierice has shown that abstainers have fewer accidents, fewer home fires. That's why we can in- sure for less. If you're a non-drinker, can you afford not to look into Abstainers' insurance for your home and your car? Osborne & Shank Ins. Agency Ltd. 108 Liberty St. N. Bowmanville - 623-2527 ABSTAINERS' INSURANCE COMPANY The only Canadian Company providing automoble and fire insurance exclusively to abstainers public information displays also to be set up outlining the plans. The categories to which Mr. Gartshore refers are in addi- tion to the five varying alternatives proposed on the topic of population distribu- tion for the 12 municipalities within Durham. Five alternatives are pre- sented in the report under the heading of Industry. One suggests recognition of pres- sure for industrial sites in Pickering and Ajax. A second suggests continuation of the existing pattern of industrial growth along the Ilakeshore south of 401. Redirection of future in- dustry away from the areas south of 401 to other locations is a third alternative. Two final choices coincide with each other, suggesting some industries be directed according to the municipal populations and allowing the Region to become actively involved in the purchase of land for sale or lease to industry. One of the three alternatives under Agriculture proposes all areas of high production capability be strictly set for such purposes, the other two being less stringent toward other uses. Woodlands, valleylands, marshes, the Oak Ridges Moraine and waterfront areas, the report suggests, present prime opportunity for conservation and outdoor re- creation opportunities accord- ing to present plans and programs which are aimed at sites abuting lakeshore urban areas. Secondof the three conser- vation and recreation alterna- tives designates such areas as the Oak Ridges Moraine, shorelines, streams and marshes, while the third would recommend creation of a major urban park in each municipality. Either an extension of the 'Go" service from Pickering to Oshawa; a new service on the CPR Belleville line; ex- tension of either of the preceding to Bowmanvilhe and service on the CNR Bala line to Beaverton, are the four choices given under Transpor talion, for commuter rail service. Three bus lne alternatives are also given.

Presently used for both recreational and general avia- tion purposes, Oshawa air- port's furture is also included in the report. Suggestions are to either close the airport; maintain its present use; use it for recreation only or maintain- ing its present use, possibly add short take-off and landing (STOL) aircraft and relocate the airport in a less urbanized area. Transportation by water- ways provides three choices for service at the Oshawa harbor. One calls for the expansion of facilities within the present harbor, the second suggests the present harbor be expand- ed by landfill construction in the outer harbor and the third calls for a new harbor to be built in the second marsh.

Mrs. Bowes is begin- ing her 6th year working with children who havehandicaps. Her class has gone fror, around 12 to 13 six years ago, to 28 this fait. Mr. Jim Cryderman and Mrs. Carol (His) Alexander also teach in the school and there are four teacher's aids and three votunteers on part-time basis. The children range from five to 18 years with them divided into three class rooms. The portable, is mainly for Arts and Crafts. It is hoped that some of these children will eventually return to regular classrooms. Speech problems are difficult with many. Even though the child- ren are shown love and understanding, discipline is maintained. Four children have cerebral palsy. Brain damage may be caused by several things, but all can be taught, if they can motivate them to desire to learn. This makes the children very happy and they feel they have achieved and are accepted by others. The program is flexible, but lessons in many subjects are tought. Music is much enjoy- ed. Lunch time is their Social Time. The meal is prepared and served by the children under guidance. The parents are asked to assist financially in this. Children arei taught res- ponsibilty - they learn to care for themselves and eventually may be able to take a job and take their part in the big, big world. Mrs. Bowes answered sev- eral questions.

We are going to have a list of articles which we can give the Solina School for uses in their teaching - e.g. margarine containers, bits of material, yarn and baby jars etc. Visit the school and realize what can be done. Mrs. Tink added her 'Thank You' and Mrs. Watson took charge for the closing. Mrs. Viola Ashton conduct- ed some contests. All enjoyed the lwnch of sandwiches and relishes served by Mrs. Tink and ber group. The Blackstock ladies expressed their 'Thanks' for our hospitality. add significantly to inflation in Ontario, Hydro's Chairman, Robert B. Taylor told the Ontario Energy Board in Toronto on Thursday. "All we do is pass on the cost," said the Hydro Chair- man. The hearing was told that it is not only Hydro policy to pass on the costs but is also the law. The publicty-owned utility was conceived on the principle of providing electric power at cost. Electricity is not all that expensive when you compare it to other things, said Mr. Taylor. In a discussion on pricing of electricity, Mr. Taylor told the Energy Board "that the average family spends a third more on cigarettes than it does on electric ower. We do know that in the last 10 years the price of that power in Ontario has gone up about half the increase in the price of milk and cheese, considerably less than the price of butter and only one-third the rise in the price of bread. These guides tell us," said the Hydro Chairman, "that electricity is not over-prîced or exorbitant- ly priced in Ontario. "Perhaps we are more interested in the price to the domestic user," Mr. Taylor told the Energy Board, "be- cause we feel the industrial user can look after himself." He said that Hydro tries to look at the price of electricity as compared to the price of other commoditiPQ Replying to a suggestion that electric rates be frozen, Mr. Taylor said such an action would seriously affect Ontario Hydro. He told the hearing that Hydro would be unable to pay for its fuel and reminded the Board that such a proposal would require a change in legislation. The Power Cor- poration Act give Hydro's' Board of Directors responsibi- ,lity for setting the utility's wholesale rate.- The Energy Board adjourn- ed the hearings on August 22 after hearing evidence from Hydro's Corporate Office of Chairman, President and Vice-Presidents. The hearings will resume September 2 to hear evidence from interven- ers and the Board staff, along with argument. Energy Board Chairman, W.W. Stevenson,has said that an interim report will be -written for the Minister of Energy in order to meet an August 31 deadline. fur her thath the tal-arà-of the site be planted in grass this fall and the parts having a slope greater t an 1" in 3" should be planted in conifer- NO MAGICI That's right ...
