2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 7, 1977 Local Home Takes Six-Mile Journey to Site Near Enfield It took this monstrous four wheel drive tractor plus a semi-trailer truck and then another semi-trailer truck to edge this house along the roads near Enfield last week. All three machines were hooked together on the steepest hills because the two-storey brick building weighed approximately 146 tons and it was shored up for its six-mile trip by 30 tons of steel. The house is owned by Ron and Marnie Worboy, of R. R. 1, Enniskillen. It was moved from its foundation west of Enniskillen last Friday because it was in the path of Ontario Hydro's proposed 500 kv power line. The building is five years old. The Town of Newcastle will re-consider a decision it made last month on the location of a building for Bowmanville's Santa Claus Parade Committee. The committee hopes to build a 24 .Marnie Worboy said last week that she expects it will take two months before the home is ready to be re-occupied. At the end of the trip up the Oshawa Newcastle Townline and across the loth concession, the. building was parked in a large hole where the foundation will be built underneath the structure. If you look closely at this photograph, you will see a small brick building followng the house. The second building is a garage that was being towed by a third truck in this rather unusual procession. Mrs. Worboy said the garage was built by her husband and was being moved for "sentimental reasons." The house was moved by the Matthews Brothers, of Thornhill, Ontario. x 50 foot shed to store its Santa Claus float, a collection of about 150 costumes and other parade equip- ment. In the past 16 years, temporary storage for the property had to be arranged. The parade committee requested recently that it be allowed to locate its building off Liberty St., south of Highway 401 in the works depart- ment's yard. However, Newcastle Council recently advised parade organizers that the yard is not a suitable location for the building. Council noted that the works department yard lies in the flood plain of Soper Creek and building projects there would not be allowed by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA). George Stephen, a representative of the parade committee, noted Monday night that the works department property is the ideal location. He pointed out that the fenced compound would provide security for the building and the site has the advantage of being close to the route of the annual parade. Mr. Stephen asked council to lend its support to the project so that plans could be presented to CLOCA for a final decision. I'd be willing to have another look at that piece of property commented Councillor Don Allin at the council session this week. "It's just a case of whether or not we can get permission from CLOCA," said Councillor Bruce Taylor. Councillor Dykstra pointed out that the flood plain area has its boundary running downthe centre of Liberty St. and he noted the works department discovered that it would be difficult to erect any new buildings on its property because of flood plain regulations. "I certainly have not objections to doing the utmost possible in support- ing their request," Councillor Dykstra said. Board Okays Sewer Road Route (From Page 1) The choice made by Regional officials was upheld by Mayor Garnet Rickard; Bowmanville councillor Bob Dykstra opposed the plan. Mayor Approved "I cannot find sufficient reasons to argue against what the planning and works staff have recommended," Mayor Rickard stated. He noted that the purpose of the new artery is to take the pressure off Liberty St. "The street is crowded and full," he pointed out. Noting that he wasn't really pleased with either the Cemetery Rd. location or the Training School Rd. site, Mayor Rickard said that yesterday was the first time he had voted on the issue or made any extensive comments on the subject. Regional staff noted in a report that the route further east on Training School Rd. would act more aý a town by-pass rather than as a pathway for traffic inside Bowman- ville. It was suggested that- the Training School Rd. alternative would result in increased traffic on Liberty St. Dykstra Opposed Councillor Dykstra stated that he believed Trainng School Rd. is still the best site for the new street. He said that it was supported by the majority of Newcastle councillors and it a ppeared to be the best route after public meetings were held. "It amazes me that the mayor of all the people can go against the wishes of his own council in Newcastle," Councillor Dykstra said. He said he believed the decision made yesterday will come back to haunt those who made it. He promised that he will continue to oppose the Cemetery Rd. arterial street and intersection. ied by Towr George Stephen noted that the parade committee is badly in need of its own building. He said the committee would finance the struc- ture through its own funds and grants from Wintario. "We're not asking for money," he informed councillors. The town's public works commit- tee has been given authority to review the request of the parade committee with power to act. n No Panie on Sehool There is no intention of closing Bowmanville's Pine Ridge Training School in the immediate future, the MPP for Durham East said last week. In an interview from Toronto, Sam Cureatz stated that for the short term, the school will remain in operation. He added that by "short term" he was referring to a period of at least two years. Mr. Cureatz noted, however, that a review of training school pro- grams operated by Ontario's Minis- try of Community and Social Services is being conducted. He could not specify when this review would be completed. Mr. Cureatz also stated that the issue of closing any training schools in the province has not yet been discussed by the cabinet. But, if such a discussion takes place, the Ministry of Community and Social Services has promised that local MPPs who have training schools in their ridings will be consulted, he said. The Durham East MPP said that Keith Norton, Minister of Communi- t and Social Services, "wouldn't are" arrive at a decision on closing any of the training schools without consulting MPPs. A report last week suggested that 90 jobs at the Bowmanville school were in jeopardy by the closing of training school operations on Con- cession St. Here Comes the Bus! (From Page 1) Busses would leave the Orono area at approximately 9:30 a.m. and arrive here at about 10:10 a.m., with a stop in Newcastle Village around 10 o'clock. The return bus would leave Bowmanville around 4:05 and arrive in Orono at 4:52. Busses would return to Orono via Newcastle Village, stopping in the village around 4:30. There would be about half a dozen All Three Bids Same It was a three-way tie in the bidding for a Bowmanville road allowance advertised for sale by public tender. Members of Newcastle council were surprised to find that three persons had sub- mitted identical bids of $18,000 for a piece of town property near Simpson Ave., South. bus stops in both Newcastle village and Orono. In some cases, the routes will make use of off-duty school busses as suggested by Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard during a recent meeting of the town's transportation committee. The mayor feels that this idea would help cut costs. Both bus systems are expected to get underway as soon as they can be properly advertised in local newspapers.

The project was also recommend- ed because of five other reasons listed in the 12-page document. The board noted that the existing Soper Creek sewage treatment plant does not have an area large enough to accommodate large-scale growth. It was noted that the proposed 10 acre site is desirable because it is well isolated. "Studies have indicated that the effluent discharge into Lake Ontario should not adversely affect water quality of the lake including the water quality of the Bowmanville waterworks intake," the report added. It noted that there were no objections expressed by the public with respect to the location of the sewage tréatment plant site. The board recommended that the project be approved "subject to the submission of satisfactory plans and specificiations." Santa Claus-Shed Decision Re-exami
