Protesters Gaiin Suppoter By Peter Parrott Efforts aimed at stopping the widening ofHighway 115/35 have been supported by a petition ~containing the names of close to 600 ratepayers. 1At a meeting of Newcastle Counicil Monday, Fred Irwin asked that eleeteci officials~ joini the opposition to the proposed widening of the highway to four lanies. "I would like to have council's support, ... to stop the highway," he said. until the resuits of a meeting held yesterday, November 6, are known. Representatives of the Town of Newcastleý and residents aiong Highway 115/35 were scheduied to meet wi th Minister of Transportation and Communications James Snow to discuss the, highway Tuesday morning. Mr. Irwin explained in his address to council that canivassers have coliected the names of persons in oppp)sýiOnth~ le iLgý)Way drigthe p as t l18 ,el a y S Oppo)Sition ü1wasfis au a mke ting held in Orono during mid-October. A total of 592 persons signed the document. Mr. Irwin listed a number of reasons why residents believe plans to enlarge Highway 115/35 from Highway Two to Enterprise Hill should be scrapped. One of the reasons is the systemn of barriers down the median of the highway and overpasses and, underpasses which residents fear will destroy the cohesiveness of the -commun wi ty. Mr. Irwin saýid onîe çof the persons who signed the peiion d i o of the highway, epni'on.T would result in iigain of local businesses in th,. village. Another concern from the residents was the "devastating" effeet on the 150-year-old hamlet of Kirby where an overpass is planned. Fears have aiso been expressed that the commercial enterprises on the, west side of the highway will suffer. "We don't think you have to do anything to 115/35,", said Mr. Irwin. Referring to the highway widening plans as a "master con job," Mr. Irwin claimed that the safety issue proposed by the Ministry of Transportation and Comm.iyunications.as the reason for the widenling is a "red herring." 1He said that. the suggestion that widenÏing the hi-ghway is the least costly alternaive is also a red' herring.

Counc illor Ann Cowman made this observation-this morning following a meeting'of the Durham Region's planning and development committee yesterday. The Per Cop 125th Year cp committee, at its regular meeting in Whitby, heard plans for the development of a community containing between 75,000 and 90,000 persons in north Pickering. SThe new city would be called Seaton. after the fîrst' Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada. Its development would begin in 1982 and continue for 25 to 30 years according to plans announced by the Ontario Land Corporation. Councillor Cowman said in an interview this mornîng that she is eoncerned over how a new community in Pickering, close to Metropolitan Toronto, will affect development in the remainder of the Durham Region. "My gut reaction is that it's going, to have a devastating effeet on the Town of Newcastle," she said. 623-3ý 103 tea 32 Pages BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER , 1979 Exclusive Initerview Issue 45 With Statesman Sa nta Looks Foirward to Visit By Donna Fairey the avenues covered so you may rest arriving in town?"

BLOOD DONOR CLINIC -- There may still betime to attend the Red Cross Blood Donor Clinie at the Lions Centre today (Wed.) Hospital blood banks are sorely depleted at the moment and need every unit they can obtain to meet requirements. Pool Fund $5429500 During the past week, a donation from Goodyear Canada Incorporated increased the pool complex fund by $25,000. The fund raising campaign, which went beyond the overaîl target total a week ago, is stilli receiving contributions as the canvassers work to complete the last dozen or so outstanding pledge contacts. During the numerous discussions between SPLASH and Town Council over the past two years, the committee assured council that $500,000 would be raised by donations toward the cest of the complex. With significant grants available from Wintario and other smaller amounts forthcoming from government sources, itwas felt that a suitable facility could be provided for the area for $925,000. .HIaving met its comnmitment, SPLASH is finalizing the design plans preceding the calling of tenders. It now remains to be ýseen whether the extended delays andi inflation will have raised the ultimate cost beyond the earlier estimate. Tenders are due to be opened in early December in timne for the final application to Wintario which mnust be submitted before the end 0f 1979. In the meantime, SPLASH is grateful t o the special nam-es group and all contLributots for their efforts in making this ea.inpaïgn a s1uccess. tan
