2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. February 1, 197f! CLOCA Expl&%ains (From Page One) that it is unlikely that there would be any purchases there until 1979. Long-term CLOCA officials stressed that their plan for Hampton is a long-term document mapping out how the conservation area would develop over a 20 year period. This isn't something you're going to wake up to'tomorrow morning," said Mr. Campbell, the general ,manager for CLOCA. At Monday's council session, councillor Bruce Taylor suggested that the next step in considering the Hampton Master Plan should be a public meeting where citizens can make comments and ask additional questions. Hampton residents, town council- lors and officials from CLOCA discussed the plan for about one and one-haîf hours during the council meeting. Storm Mauls Area (From Pave One) voltage line between Newcastle and Newtonville during the height of the storm. Bob Hellam of Bowmanville managed to walk himself right out into the lake due to the poor visibility and dropped into three feet of water. Local schools, ah closed down, early in the day, resulting in the postponement of many exams. The scene at Port Darlington harbor was impressive to say the least, as huge waves smashed over the lighthouse and built icebergs of enormous size. At the Mariana, where local dignitaries were enjoy- ing lunch as guests of Victoria and Grey Trust, the spray from waves breaking against the ice could be seen 20 to 30 feet above the roof lines of houses on the West Beach. Electric power was out for a lengthy period of time in some areas west of Bowmanville, but the miajority of the area was fortunate in that regard. ý While several TV antennae were downed, that highly popular damage item from the Hurricane Hazel davs has been overshadowed in this area by flying aluminum garden sheds and aluminum house siding. Several residents lost their chimneys. Officers of the Newcastle OPP detachment who came on shift at, 8 a.m. Thursday stayed on shif t until 4 a.m. Friday sorting out the storm- related incidents. No serious fire alarms were issued during the storm. . Close Sehools Stormy weather forced the Northumberland Newcastle Boare, of Education to cancel classes at noon Thursday. There were no school busses operating locally on Friday however schools remnained open for any pupils who could attend. At Bowmanville High School, 1,150 students had the day off because exams regularily scheduled for, Friday had to be cancelled. Courtice Secondary School also reported that its Friday exams were cancelled and no classes were held at Clarke High School. Soc cer News The past few years bas seen tremendous growtb in soccer throughout Ontario. In this particular area, soccer bas grown sufficiently to warrant the formation of the Bowman- ville Soccer Club. This club will be the bàckbone for the promotion and encourage- ment of soccer development in the Newcastle area, In the coming season we will be entering two teams in the Oshawa District League, which is sanctioned by the Ontario Minor Soccer Associa- tion.

Newcastle Fire Chief, JimHay- manpointed out this week that in 1974 Newcastle council passed a resolution stating that ail new fire department vehicles and all re- painted equipment should be lime- yellow. Chief Hayman told the town's community services committee that when the resolution was passed, fire departments were urged to paint equipment bright yellow. Safety was the main reason for this move. The fire chief explained that yellow trucks are much easier for the motorist to see. While many municipalities have changed the color of their fire vehicles",'a number of fire depart- ments are now going back to redý trucks, Chief Hayman added., "A red one. looks better in a parade', quipped councillor Bob Dykstra during the discussions. The color of fire department vehicles was mentioned when councillors discussed the purchase of a fire engine to be used in the Courtice area. No,1 Change For Darlington' There is no change in the status of the Darlington Generating' Station now underway southwest of Bow- manville, Durham East MPP Sam Cureatz said last Friday. Commenting on an article in last week's paper, the MPP said he contacted Energy Minister Reuben Baetz for his views on the status of the Darlington project.

Close to 100 residents attended the Monday afternoon council session to show their opposition to the Hampton plan. The Central Lake Ontario- Conser- vation Authority's master plan for Hampton would see the present conservation area expand to approx- imately 186 acres. Expansion would take place chiefly along the Bow- manville Creek Valley and included in the plans are parking facilities for 488 cars plus picnic areas and hiking trails. "This master plan is obviously not intended for the benefit of Hampton's residents," said Mr. Richardson. No Input "We are not aware of one resident who was asked for any input to the plan whatsoever. The owners of the' lands in the proposed takeover area have just this past week received registered letters frorn the Author- ity, advising these people of the Authority's desire to negotiate the sale of their properties. The Hampton spokesman describ- ed this action as "rather high handed" since council has not- yet approved the Hampton master plan. "Reaction to this hitherto secret plan has been widespread and, condemning," Newcastle council was told. However Bill Richardson' pointed out that residents have no objection to the Authority's present landholdings in the area of the Hampton pond.

To date, none have been initiated," Mr. 'Richard- son said.i "What we do object to is their (CLOCA's) overstepping the bounds of their responsibility in attempting to institute a program which is primarily recreational in nature and which could only have far-reaching disastrous effects on the v illage of Hampton." Reasons The petition signed by the Hamp- ton residents' gives the following reasons for their opposition to the Ham~pton Master Plan. --The weekend influx of some 1,500 to 2,000 proposed non-residents for whom these facilities are primarily intended, will destroy the quiet rural setting and small town atmosphere of Hampton which has existed for the past century." --The location of the proposed conservation and park areas will destroy the rear yard privacy of ail homes along the park boundaries as' well as making them susceptible to vandalism and other mischievous acts. --Lack of development within the village of Hampton as proposed by CLOCA will seriously restrict the ability of the present population of Hampton to cope with costs for future street improvement as well as storm and sanitary systems. 1--Infringement upon the privacy of Hampton will result in continued resale of homes, thereby deteriorat- ing the community life that' present- ly exists there.
