2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 2, 1976 Survey Shows (From Page One) the Waverly community, 427 of which were returned. In presenting the con- clusions of the survey, Mrs. PA. Hawkins, chairman of the Waverly Area Develop- ment Committee, said 46 per cent of the returns showed a preference for a shopping centre at Base Line the size of The Oshawa Centre. Shop Outside Town Further information from the Waverly survey showed that about only one fifth (21 per cent) of all non food purchases are made in Bow- manville with slightly over half (56 per cent) of all food purchases made within the town. "Thirty two percent food and 61 per cent other goods are purchased in Oshawa," the survey reports. The Waverly brief added that there was no evidence to show that shopping patterns in the Waverly community were similar to other shopping patterns in the town but "hearsay suggests that they are," it said. The brief concluded with these words: "On the evidence of the Waverly Community it would seem that the merchants that might be hurt by a shopping centre in Bowmanville are located, not in Bowmanville but in Oshawa. Chamber of Commerce Of the two briefs presented by the Chambers of Commerce in Bowmanville and Newcastle, the brief from the Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce supported a shop- ping centre located on the outskirts of the town. The brief from Newcastle Village rec- ommended no shopping centres at this time. A report presented by Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce President, Tony Brand said "we are in favour FLOWERSI DRIED FRESH TROPICAL GREEN PLANTS 3 STORES: Highway No. 2 King St. e. Oshawa Simcoe St. N., OEN Oshawa LIMITED 29 King St. E. of large shopping centre facilities on the outskirts of Bowmanville and would like more co-operation to improve the downtown core area." The brief expressed concern over two downtown commercial developments. The first is a 22,000 square foot commercial development at the old Bowmanville bus depot. The second is a 10,000 square foot commercial development at what used to be the International Harvester store. Concern over the present downtown core of Bowman- ville was also expressed in the brief Mr. Brand presented. Inadequate parking facilities and the poor condition of existing buildings and the main street were singled out. A brief prepared by the Newcastle Chamber of Com- merce and presented by Bud Wagar came out strongly against shopping centres for Bowmanville. The brief warned that "The downtown core of Oshawa was very greatly adversely affected for approximately 10 years by the establishment of the Oshawa Shopping Centre." It caution- ed that something similar could happen to areas such as Newcastle Village, Orono, Newtonville and Bowman- ville. Developers Jerry Sprackman, of the Pythagoras group, which plans a development on Base Line Road east of Waverly Road, said he already has tenants ready to move into a 170,000 square foot project called the Durham Mall. He admitted his site was on a flood plain but said his development would have no problem meeting standards set down by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Author- ity. Henry Jacobs, representing Bowbrook Investments suggested a shopping centre smaller than the one proposed by Mr. Sprackman. It would be located across from Mr. Sprackman's site off Base Line Road. He said the Bowbrook site would have no problems meeting CLOCA flood plain standards and that only 13 acres would be developed at first. Mr. Jacobs said his company "Didn't ask to pro- vide the equivalent of the Oshawa Shopping Centre in Bowmanville because you may never need it." However, 623-5747 Hobbs Holds International School Spirit Week Revenge is sweet for Grade 8 student Tracy Henderson at the finale of M. J. Hobbs "International School Spirit Days" held last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Grade 8 homeroom teacher Gerry Denike is on.the receiving end of a whole can of whipped cream while several of his colleagues await the same fate. Other events included an obstacle course, world cup skiing, skate board racing, a costume contest and a talent show, which preceded the popular facial treatments. Plan Unique Horse Show At Pine Ridge School on June 12 for Sunset Lodge A unique horse show will be presented on Saturday, June 12th by the boys at Pine Ridge School, with all proceeds going to the senior citizens at Sunset Lodge in Bowmanville. Two Pine Ridge volunteers, Marilyn Dowie and Nancy Nicholson, are helping the boys plan the event which will offer an interesting mixture of classes in 14 events. Starting time for the show is 10 a.m. and it will be held in the arena south of the gymna- sium at Pine Ridge on Concession Street East. Admission to the general public is free, though any donations would be appreciat- ed. Refreshments wîll be available on the grounds, and at the end of the 'day's activities a 50-50 draw will be held. As well as traditional events such as English and Western Pleasure, Equitation and Youth Showmanship, a num- ber of novelty races will be featured. For example, in the Steady Hands Western or English class, participants will at- tempt to carry a full glass of water around a course which includes several small jumps. The winner will be the rider who manages to maintain the most water in his glass. In the Patch Race, two people are required to work as a team. One sits on a bucket at the end of the arena with needle and thread ready, while the rider approaches from the other end. When he reaches his partner, the rider dismounts and has a patch stitched on the back of his jeans (all four corners must be sewn), then jumps back on his horse and rides to the finish line. There must be six horses in each event before the class will run, and entry fees for riders are $3 for Open and $2 for Youth. According to the organizers, suitable English or Western attire must be worn and there will be trophies and ribbons for every class. by 1986, the Bowbrook site could expand to between 110,000 square feet and 180,000 square feet. Gary Smith, a solicitor for DM Consultants Ltd., said his client had more to offer than "pretty pictures." The company he represents has already received site plan approval for a 58,000 square foot centre located at King and Simpson Avenues. It would cost about two million dollars and be completed in February of 1977. A foundation permit for thenew centre was taken out last week, Mr. Smith said. But, site plan approval for the King East centre has only been given to phase one. The developer, LDCM Invest- ments, plans building on additional land it owns at the King Street site. In phase two, a theatre would be added to the centre and in phase three a department store could be built. Of alli he shopping centre plans before the committee last Wednesday, the town planning staff favors the eastern development. The staff is recommending that if any more shopping centre growth takes place, it should be at the corner of King St. and Simpson Avenue. According to the town plan- ning staff, this would harmon- ize with Bowmanville's down- town. "I don't think there's any justification for setting up a third distinct area," town planner George Howden said. The funds from the event their way of contributing to will enable the residents of ýthe senior citizens who mean Sunset Lodge to participate in much to them. community activities, buy craft and recreational materi- als and provide picnics and summer' outings. Students from Pine Ridge School have been working as volunteers with the residents of the Lodge for over two years, and the horse show is Further information is available from Marilyn Dowie (263-8175) or Nancy Nicholson (263-2050).

Mr. Howden said the haste "is going to get us into a lot of trouble". In a memo to the commit- tee, Mr. Howden wrote: "In my opinion, the Town should not contribute to a process which gives the appearance of local consultation but is actu- ally meaningless." Mr. Howden's memo also noted that there was only "one working day between the discussion of the regional plan with Newcastle Council June 18 and the finalization of the play by the Planning and Development committee". Under those circumstances, Mr.,Howden said any impres- sion of consultation between the region and the area municipalities is an "illusion". Mr. Howden's memo went on t6 say there is no provision in the plan for public input and the public hasn't seen many of the policies going into the plan. The memo mentioned the hamlet development pol- icy as one example. Mr. Howden stated that acting on the assumption that the Region's schedule for adopting the plan is not going to be changed, he wanted authorization to use consul- tants in order to identify "the major issues which may be raised in the draft plan as it affects the Town of New- castle". iations has lent its name to the circus. Several Bowmanville resi- dents have already paid $8.00 for a family ticket which the promoters said can be turned over to underpriveleged child- ren if the purchaser and his family can't attend the event. If the fraud squad finds that the organization is legitimate, then Oshawa council's Fire Protection and General Pur- pose committee will grant the group a licence. If not, a hearing will be held about the matter, committee chairman Alan Dewar said Monday night. Town's Internal (From Page One) quorum as Councillor Ann Cowman was attending the Court House meeting as an observer." Mr. Lyall stated that he and Councillor Ivan Hobbs were present at the Town Hall for the Committee of the Whole meeting at 7:20 p.m. with Mrs. Gertrude Gray who is the acting Town Clerk. "Councillor Hobbs and I sat with several people, who had an interest in the agenda, till five minutes to eight o'clock p.m. then getting fed up with the situation, we left." According to Councillor Lyall, Mayor Garnet Rickard was in his Town Hall office at the time -- but not in the Committee Room. "It would have made no difference if Mayor Rickard had been present in the Committee Room, there still would have been no quorum." "Town of Newcastle meet- ing attendance has been sloppy for a long time now with some councillors chron- ically drifting in late for meetings but Monday's events were the most bizarre since the formation of the New Town in 1974." In conclusion Councillor Lyall said that he would be bringing the matter of meet- ing discipline to the attention of the Town Council at next Monday's meeting.

DeferA ll Courtice Projects After cutting sewer and water projects proposed for Courtice next year out of the budget, the Durham Regional Council on Monday reduced $7.5 million from the amount the council expected to borrow this year. The finance committee originally called for debent- ures worth $25,254,400 in this region's interim capital bud- get. The budget now, however, has brought the amount that the region will ask for in debentures down to $17,663,- 700. The cutbacks to the budget represent almost a $6 million reduction from the $23,604,043 that was borrowed last year through debentures. Coun. Jim Potticary (Oshawa) called for the Cour- tice projects to be deferred since the development for which he said they will be needed are not due for as far away as a year from now. The Courtice projects that have been cut from the budget include a $1,040,000 cutback for a water booster pumping station on Bloor St., a $1,050,000 sewer project that proposed to extend the Fare- well Creek sanitary sewer, and a reservoir and water- main project which originally was to cost $5,485,000 but now has been reduced by $2,166,000 by stopping a waterpipe from extending beyond the Taunton Road reservoir on Beatrice St. Another reason Coun. Potti- cary gave for deferring the Courtice projects was that the regional official plan has not been released and the pipes for the proposals should not be planned until after it has been completed. The regional council defeat- ed a recommendation of Coun. Garnet Rickard (Newcastle) that the budget include money for early work on the water and sewer projects in Courtice development to begin. Since 1947, the Blood Trans- fusion Service of Canadian Red Cross Society has been supplying blood and blood products to hospitals in Can- ada so that "no Canadian need die for want of blood." Comm ittee Gives Town Repair Responsibility Sewer System Section A development proposal for a fine storey apartment building in Bowmanville will Approves (From Page One) official plan, the Planning Advisory Committee rejected most of the recommendations in a ·report from the town's planning staff. In its final form before the committee on Monday, the report suggested that future shopping centre growth take place at King and Simpson Streets. This is where a two million dollar development has already achieved site plan approval for 58,000 square feet of commercial space. Two more phases are planned for this site. The town planning report recommended "The other applications should be denied as premature at the present time, pending completion of the development of the King and Simpson site . . . and pending an evaluation of the impact of that development." Next Century Town planner, George How- den, estimated that it would be some time in the next century before all three proposed Bowmanville shopping cen- tres could be developed. He warned the committee that a decision to accept all three centres could lead to a number of bankruptcies in downtown businesses. Mr. Howden said that if council didn't make it clear where it wanted Bowmanville to develop, there was no doubt in his mind that the decisions would be lef t up to the Ontario Municipal Board, a non-elect- ed authority. He added that there was no way regional or OMB authorities would approve all three shopping centre applications. "You can't just leave it up to chance", he said in referring to Bowmanville's develop- ment. Councillor Kirk Entwisle. who is chairman of the Planning Advisory Commit- tee, also cautioned that the developers can now go before the Ontario Municipal Board for approval rather than the town. He said the OMB could be in the position where it makes the decisions on how the municipality develops rather than the Town of Newcastle. Traffic -Traffic was considered by committee member H. Ham- mond. He said he couldn't support "Mr. Howden's theory to fill up the east end of Bowmanville." He added that the 5,000 potential residents in the Waverly Road area couldn't be expected to come to the east end of Bowmanviille for shopping. Of the three town council members sitting on the plan- ning Advisory Committee last Monday, Councillors Allin and Entwisle 'voted against the motion to accept all three shopping centre applications. Mayor Rickard voted for it. not have any added expense for repairs to a storm sewer system, Newcastle's Commit- tee of Whole decided on Monday night. The committee voted in favor of giving responsibility for the cost of repairs to the storm sewer to the Town of Newcastle instead of the developer, Mario Veltri. Mayor Garnet Rickard moved that the Town give Mr. Veltri permission to use the present storm sewer facility when the lot levies on the property are paid by the developer. The motion passed by the committee which still needs the approval of council before it is accepted also places sewer repair costs as the Town's responsibility. Representing the Veltri development, Alan Strike told the committee that his client has indicated that cost of repairs which was estimated between $25,000 and $30,000 was too high to have to pay. A report on the cost of repairing the storm sewer system, by the Director of Public Works, Jack Dunham indicates that the present system which was installed in 1923 has deteriorated almost to the point that it will need repairs soon. Mayor Rickard said the cost of the repairs should remain with the Town because the storm sewer has worn itself out. Mr. Dunham agreed with the Mayor and said it was not the developer's responsibility .ity to have the system repaired but the Town's. The committee also passed Coun. Kirk Entwisle's motion calling for the council's approval of the calculated lot levy charge for the Veltri development proposal before the calculation can become the policy of the municipality. s B A A A B lA When you have a week or two to spend in the sun, make sure you're going ta have the sun.
