se Us of Developers Money Refèrred to Comm ittee For Further Discussion by Doug 'Iayîor Newcastle Council will give further consideration to methods used in Bramalea, utilizing money from devel- opers to provide the civic services. The idea was brought to the attention of council by Coun. Ann Cowman following the recent decision by council to refuse an offer of similar nature from Milani and Milani Holdings in the amount of $3-million. Coun. Cowman visited the Bramalea development on invitation of Mr. R. Holmes who called her when he heard about the council decision on Milani's offer, a decision she had not supported. As a result, she recommend- ed to council that Mr. Holmes, who held a major role in Bramalea's planning, be in- vited along with Mr. Martin to attend a council meeting and explain the basis on which the money from developers was received and put to use for Civic, Recreation and other soft services. Council agreed to Coun. Cowman's request and the two OHAP representatives were present at council March 1. Unfortunately, time at Mon- day's council, a heavy session that continued until about 12:10 a.m. did not permit a full explanation of the financial arrangements which were made between the municipal- ity and the developers. Therefore, it was agreed that Mr. Holmes and Mr. Martin be invited to return to a committee meeting at which a more in depth discussion could be held, regarding the formula. The main ingredient at Monday's council session was a slide presentation on the kind of development that took place in Bramalea. - Housing, of course, is a mixture of single family dwellings, semi-detached bouses and townhouses, but for the most part seems to bave been conducted in an impressive layout. Of the approximate total of 8,000 acres some 2,200 is specified in a 'U" shape around the west, south and east sides for industrial use. The area also features adequate "open space", some 18 per cent being retained for parks and recreation, the remainder being developed into housing. Mr. Martin explained that the layout used in Bramalea maintained the former con- cession road grid with con- nector streets, noting that the traffic flow seems to function quite well. After its first 16 years, Bramalea's population now stands at some 45,000 in a plan that allows for a population of 125,000, "a slow steady growth to this time", Mr. Martin rernarked. Mr. Holmes noted that the plan hasn't changed much since its origin in 1957 but did note one favorable improve- Cable TV will take you to an opening night at the movies or to the finish line at the Queen's Plate.

A Day Care Centre forms part of the municipal complex only two minutes from the Civic Centre where the child- ren are taken for recreation. .Even greenhouses are in- corporated in the central park area to provide the flowers for the parks wbile what was constructed as a small ski hili in winter, doubles as a hillside at the bandshell in summer. Agreeing with the principle of the idea but not on its probability at present, Coun. Ken Lyall suggested that it was a happening "at the right time in the right place." Coun. Lyall inssted that the Bramalea development occurred during the "boom years" but he can't see a repeat of it anywhere at present due to the economic status. Backing up his argument, Coun. Lyall offered to show Mr. Martin and Mr. Holmes a large number of vacant homes in Bowmanville at present which don't appear to be selling. A question of Mayor Garnet Rickard on what the impetus was which started the devel- openttand the formula by which the municipality re- ceived some $11-million from developers, will be more thoroughly discussed at the committee level. Coun. Cowman is, however not convinced that the other members of council are sin- cerely interested.

The dancers were dressed in appropriate costumes of red and white check dresses with ballerina skirts for the girls and the boys in check shirts and dark trousers. They performed in a very pleasur- able fashion which set the toes tapping all through the hall. Their patterns were in perfect rhythm and beautiful to see. Among the dancers were Brenda and Ron Metcalf, Stan and Mary Ann Found, Ruth and David Kellogg, Arline Allin and Paul Witney. A short break in the program gave the artists a rest and an opportunity for the audience to visit. The second half opened with a Vocal Trio by Marie trwin, Ruth and Elaine Kellogg.

Mrs. Allanah Coles again held the audience spellbound with her next numbers - "Where e'er You Go, let me be There," and from Jesus Christ Super Star - "I Don't Know Why I Love Him." The applause really called for encores, but we had to be satisfied. Miss Ruth Kellogg then gave us a change with a number on the "oboe" instru- ment accompanied by Mr. Dewell. There is no end to the Kellogg talents. Eric Bowman, with his guitar, is always a welcome part of a concert. Eric sang along with his guitar accom- paninent and.asked anyone4o join in.

Mrs. Allanah Coles assisted as guest soloist. Mr. Sam Dewell graciously gave several arrangements of beautiful flowers to add to the occasion. This was under the sponsorship of Solina Com- munity Library. Mrs. Russell Best opened the program with grateful remarks on our appreciation to the Junior Farmers, Mr. Douglas Dewell's talented leadership and Mr. Sam Dewell for his ever constant donations to our Library. She ~mentionéd thé~fët'that wfhilè Oshawa Public Library has been assisted over the years by the late R.S. McLaughlin - we in Solina are much indebted to Mr. Sam Dewell. Mrs. Best then called on Mr. Ronald Vice to be Master of Ceremonies for the program. Ron, in his ever popular manner, broke the seriousness of the evening by his humor- ous way in introducing the numbers - At first he called on Mr. Douglas Dewell as leader and pianist for the occasion. Mr. Dewell called on the Durham County Junior Farm- er Choir for their first numbers: "Bridge Over Troubled Waters and Walking with Your Hand in Mine." The choir consists of 8 boys and 15 girls. They are as follows - Janice Yellowlees, Debbie McLaughlin, Louise VanCamp, Sandy Bienskow- ski, Faye Langmaid, Lois VanCamp, Kathryn Knox, Lesley Kapteyn, Arline Allin, Jennifer Bowman, Ruth Kel- logg, Sandy Jensen, Elaine Kellogg, Marie Irwin and Susan Best. Among the boys are Douglas Larmer, Dennis Yellowlees, Bruce Snowden, Neil Taylor, Eric Bowman, Ron Vice, Roland Bowman and Grant Best. The volume, harmony and expression of each number were a joy to listen to. Ruth and Elaine Kellogg then favoured with two vocal duets - "If" and "A Wedding Song." Their numbers show how perfectly sister's voices blend in harmony. The guest soloist, Mrs. Allanah Coles, of St. Paul's Choir in Bowmanville and frequent contralto soloist in this area, delighted the aud- ience wîth ber first two numbers "In the Ghetto" and "One Tin Soldier Rides Away." We would have enjoy- ed more. Solina Community is greatly favoured by having 'another talented pianist in Lesley Kapteyn. Her first number was "Nocturne in E Minor" by Chopin, and the second in a change of mood, one very fast and expressive. Lesley has great skill in all ber music. Mr. Ron Vice was able to tell a few stories to fill in a few minutes required for the Square Dancers to prepare for their numbers. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Lowery of Orono, provided the music, piano and violin, for the dance numbers and Mr. Roland 25 years service as a General Motors employee, moved to Norland the last week of January. This home along Highway 35 north was pur- chased as a Home for Retire- ment. Terry Stroud of Eganville was in this area recently enroute to his studies at the University of Guelph. entertaiînment buy... t kcable tv pi ne ridgecabletv 1353 king street east, os hawa, ontarlo 416-579-22320 whitby 416-668-9331
