2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, February 11, 1976 Lyall Against (From Page One) ard Dutchak. He had been contacted by Planning Director George Howden, along with other provincial and regional people who failed to show, for an explanation to council of the plans on the widening of 401 and what effects, if any, they might have on such matters as the Milani proposal and the Soper Creek sewage plant. Mr. Dutchak explained that the 401 improvements are an ongoing process which to date has extended the six lane section as far as Pickering, continuation to Whitby being the next step. On that basis, the widening for the Bowmanville area might be as much as five years away. Also Mr. Dutchak explained that it is expected that when such widening takes place, allowance will likely be made for eventual expansion to eight lanes. This would in- volve mainly such matters as the width of new bridges to be installed. The MTC spokesman ad- vised that the consultants studying the requirements for them have almost completed such work and the completed study should be coming to council in the near future. Among changes to be made would be some maior work at the Courtice Road interchange which is considered deficient for the expansion program. The Waverly Road inter- change would also need some improvements. The controversial Liberty Street interchange, which MTC had previously proposed 214 Dundas St. E. Whitby, Ontario LN 5R7 P.O. Box 28 Telephone 668-3346 TIMOTHY J. O'NEILL CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT Master of Ceremonies to close off but council have insisted be kept open, presents another problem as it is a tight intersection at present and is situated so close to the CNR level crossing and the Flying Dutchman. Mr. Dutchak suggested that the interchange might have to be moved slightly to the east to accommodate the ex- pansion. Traffic volume using the 35-115 interchange is expected to require a two lane extrance- exit service which would involve some major revisions at the location also. As to the question of maintaining the CNR level crossing at Bowmanville, Mr. Dutchak advised that, as council bas voiced stern objection to it being removed, alternatives of an overpass or underpass are now being considered, the overpass appearing somewhat more feasible as it would require less bridge construction. He assured council that after MTC have met with them concerning the alter- natives to determine council's preference, no decision would e made until public input has also been received. Coun. Lyall questioned why this continued expansion of 401 is being carried out when 407 is also on the drawing board, a road which he feels will relieve a majority of the summer cottage traffic from the 401. In that light, Coun. Lyall suggested Mr. Dutchak tell the "MTC geniuses in their ivory towers" to leave the 401 at six lanes and not be looking ahead to eight lanes. Coun. Lyall expressed the opinion despite explanation from Mr. Dutchak that allow- ance has already been made for eight lanes on the ex- pansion carried out to date. Mayor Rickard offered some support to Coun. Lyall's concern by asking Mr. Dutch- ak to havera presentation on the 407 proposal brought to council at the same time as the 401 expansion plans. Aside from his concerns with 401, Coun. Lyall was also critical of 35-115 and the work that bas been done on it recently. He suggested that portions of the road consisting of more lanes than other sections make it similar to an accord- ian. Commenting on council's stand concerning the main- taining of the Liberty Street interchange and the CNR spur line, Coun. Ann Cowman suggested to Mr. Dutchak the MTC are fortunate to have such clearly defined resol- utions from council, a fact she suggested doesn't happen too often. Probe into (From Page One) given money to fund an nquiry into the pròposal. The funds could be used to hire experts who could carry out the inquiry and cross-examine the people involved. He could not understand why Ontario Hydro was can- celling the generating plant already under construction in Wesleyville. Ontario Hydro will have to justify the building of a nuclear generating station in Darlington before their plans are either cancelled or they are allowed to begin con- struction, Mr. Moffatt said. High Speed (From Page One) Wellington Street, Bowman- ville. Const. Ted Molyneaux arrested Harmer but al- legedly was assaulted by his passenger Frederick Wein- sheimer, 30, of the same address. The original incident took place at 1 a.m. Saturday and at about 2:30 a.m. Weinshei- mer was charged with assault- ing Const. John McLane in the cell area of the Oshawa detachment, Durham Region- al Police. Both men are slated for court appearances in Bow- manville March 2 while Wein- sheimer will also appear in Oshawa court March 12 for the Chiropractor (From Page One) of the best possible preventive health care of chiropractic patients through the science of nutrition. The list of speakers at the Symposium included Dr. Emanuel Cheraskin of the University of Alabame School of Medicine, and Dr. Carlton Fredericks, both highly re- spected authorities in the world of nutrition and authors of numerous books on the subject. Faculty members and department heads from several chiropractic colleges also presented papers on nutrition. It has long been Dr. Grey's philosophy of health that prevention is at least as important as cures and that one of the most valuable preventive health tools he has at his command is adequate nutrition. Pro test (From Page One) to which none of the residents objected, however, changes were made which included revision of some areas to semi-detached and town- bouses. This brought a protest from the existing residents who also indicated there is a lack of concern on the part of the committee and council for the safety of children living so close to the CPR mainline. The safety argument was however, shot down by com- mittee member Harold Ham- mond who suggested that if there was no objection to the safety for 34 units than the larger number of children that might be housed in the revised 52 units would make no difference and they should focus their objections on the townhouses. Spokesman for the group in attendance at the meeting, Reg Willatts suggested that townhouses only become a slum area and asked why the existing residents in the area were not called on for input on what they would like to see there, prior to the plan being approved. He stated they would be out of line with what is presently there and would "look like junk." Planning Director George Howden explained that the area is presently zoned for general residential use which permits all except for struct- ures of more than four apartments. Mr. Howden suggested that the proceedure normally calls for the developer to post a sign of notice on the property when the application is being made to notify surrounding resi- dents of the proposal and application number. Speaking on behalf of Cean Investments, however, Michael Zygocki advised that such was not the case as that is only required when apply- ing for a zoning change, a matter that requires those within 400 feet to be notified. No zoning change was re- quired in this instance and therefore Mr. Zygocki report- ed that to his knowledge no sign was posted. Mr. Willatts the questioned why the other agencies such as the school board were not re-notified when the changes in the plans were made. Mr. Howden advised that it is not legal requirement to notify other agencies on a revision of an application but that it can be changed by the committee, after which it must receive Regional and OMB approval. He suggested that the OMB might re-consult those such as the school board. The residents, however, stood firm in the belief that the development of townhouses in that area, bounded on the west by High Street and the north by Third Street, immediately north of the CPR line, will degrade their homes. They also object to the apparent location of the re- quired five per cent of the development for parkland being situated next to the rail line, suggesting that if creates a built in danger as it is too easy for children to climb a six foot high fence. Coun. Ken Lyall gave sup- port to the petitioners, quoting from a brief on pedestrian safety that was sent to Regional Chairman Walter Beath. He further suggested that Bowmanville's experience with townhousing bas not been a happy one. John Liptay also was on hand on behalf of the Town of Newcastle Ratepayers Assoc- iation to advise that they also endorse the objection. He suggested that it seems to be a somewhat sneaky develop- ment whereby the nice houses were proposed first and then the others followed which depreciate the nicer ones. Onbehalf of the ratepayers Mr. Liptay formally requested the committee to recommend to council that they scrap the townhouses and revert to the original 34 single samily dwelling proposal. The committee will now have to give further consider- ation to the increase in the number of units and also examine thg provisions of fencing and berw along the rail line. Nine-Yr-Old (From Page One) drivers side, the point at which the '71 Dodge Colt sustained the majority of its $1,500 damage. All other parties involved in the crash were treated and released from OGH. Provincial Constable Gerald Kozak of the Newcastle De- tachment investigated the collision and reports it was partly the result of a ."white- out" from blowing snow which caused the southbound Clos vehicle to become turned sideways colliding with the northbound Plumb vehicle. The impact spun the rear of the Clos vehicle around into the west snowbank, while the Plumb vehicle, a '76 Chev, remained on the roadway with damage estimated at $2,200. Turn Down (From page one) citizens. As Mr. Milani had suggested at the beginning of Saturday's meeting that his approach on making the offer was perhaps lacking the calibre which could reach council, Mayor Rickard was, with respect, further critical of the report on the offer, ,which in his opinion was not well prepared and contradicts itself. The Mayor implied that there are also some hidden costs involved and criticized the density which he suggest- ed works out to 33 people per acre while Bowmanville's pre- sent status is 20 people per acre. Coun. Ivan Hobbs, although supporting the motion to refuse the $3-million, appear- ed somewhat disappointed at council taking such action at this time. He pointed out that the meeting was supposed to have been held to determine the feasibility and practicality of the development and poss- ible co-ordination, pending approval of either, between Milani and Hydro's Darling- ton Plant, for hard services. He accepted the fact, as pointed out by Coun. Bruce Tink who sits on the Regional Works Committee, that such information has not yet been compiled. Coun. Don Allin said be had expected the Regional Works and Planning Staff repre- sentatives would be at the meeting. On the basis that they had not come, since the information is not yet fully compiled, Coun. Allin felt the meeting should have been held at a later date when such facts become available. Speaking on behalf of Milani, Conroy Dawson con- tradicted Mayor Rickard's claim of the density being too high. Mr. Dowson said the figure which the Mayor quoted of 10,000 people was incorrect and should be 8-,000 on the 400 acres, and insisted that sucb would comply with the town's A couple of carloads of Hog Producers and their spouse (or is that spice) attended the annual Hog Conference held on Thurs. Feb. 5 in the Rock Haven in Peterborough. Several capable speakers made the days agenda worth while attending.

On Sunday a joint Birthday party was held at Malconia for Mona Malcolm, Jane Connolly and Bob Fick all of whom observe various milestones this week. A special pleasure for Mona was a long distance phone call from Miss Daphne Van Derput of Carmen, Mani- toba. In attendance were Mrs. Emma Malcolm and Miss present density requirements. The firm's spokesman fur- ther explained that the approval in principle of coun- cil was requested in order to allow the firm to organize its money since they wished to being in 1976 with the process- ing of 200 acres. He suggested that the firm has "gone overboard" to keep a balanced type of develop- ment, leaving the options open. "We're not amateurs", he stated, explaining that the firm bas done studies of many areas and finds the Bowman- ville area to be the "key to investment" at the present time. Denounces (From oage one) was not, opposed to a cost- cutting campaign or a re- duction in the number of hospital beds, but he was highly critical of the way in which the Conservatives have been implementing their re- straint program both in health and social services. The difference between the Tory and NDP approach is a philosophical one 'which sig- nifies a parting of the ways which may result in an election." With the support of Stuart Smith and his block of provincial Liberal members, the NDP could topple the minority Conservative government with an amend- ment to the speech from the throne when the new legislat- ive session begins in March. Mr. Lewis stated that if the Tories were seeking consen- sus and support for their cost-cutting program, then they should try to avoid creating the bitterness and opposition that has become prevalent in the past few months.
