2- ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27th,1973 orono weekly times Second Class Mail Registration Number 6368 Published every Thursday at the office of publication Once agan the Queen and Prince visit Canada and on this; visit as in the past she will observe the affection and respect of the Canadian people. Despite questions to the contrary the Queen and the monarchy is still with reverence in Canada. Canadians have never at anytime in history has turned a cold shoulder on the monarchy and appears to accept this order as a matter of fact. Canada does, however, need its own symbols of identity which have some meaning to all the people of this young nation. We can and have actually begun to live with both which must some indication of maturity and statehood. As Queen of Great Britain and head of the Commonwealth the Queen has the most exacting post to uphold in the world and this must be respected by all peoples of the world. People in this area have the opportunity today, Wednesday, to get a glimpse of the Queen and the Prince wheh they pass through Port Hope by train at 9.35 a.m. and arrive in Cobourg at 10.00 where they will travel to Victoria Hall on the Main Street at 11.15 and later at 10.40 will attend a ceremony at the Cobourg Conservation Park at the west end of Cobourg, Many recall he last visit of the Queen to the area some years ago when she stayed at the Massey residence in Hope Township. It is sometime felt, but possibly necessary that the visit is too rushed with litt ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD HEARING The Environmental Board of Ontario has completed its hearing in connection with the proposed garbage dump in Hope Township. It was pointed out at the hearing by the Board chairman that their only concern was the suitability of the site for sanitary land fill and nothing other. In the main the opposition was more prominent than were those who might have been in agreement or nuetral to the Sscheme. Those in opposition did voice the opinion that the land fill operation would affect the ecoloby of the area with birds and animailsleaving while rodents and noise took over. Of course it can also be stated that the operation to the south of the site, the Hydro generating plant, could also affect the ecology of the area. This development will not doubt reduce'some natural nature areas to concrete and asphalt and the damage it does will be of a permanent nature. The land fill site could be termed a temporary eruption of the environment. Society is faced with many problems and one of course is keeping nature in balance and at the same time lifing within certain confines. Whether it be a sanitary dump or a generating plant makes little difference. They both will affect the environment to a degree. Service for 10 lots core from Oshawa Oshawa will probably pro- vide services to the Darlington Township land excluded from the municipality, Donald Ir- vine said last Thursday night. The parliamentary assist- ant to John White told the Legislature during clause-by- clause study of the Durham region bill, he expects the regional council will decide Oshawa is best suited to suppiy water and sewage services to the west end of the Newcastle municipality. He said:"There has been a great deal of change" from original government plans to put such services on a regional basis. . A short while later, an amendment introduced'by Dr. Charles Mcîlveen (PC-Osh- awa), calling for the inclusion of parts of Darlington Town- ship in the new municipality was defeated. lost motion He also lost a motion to add an additional council member to Oshawa's regional repre- sentation. 'I think we have adequate representation as it is very adequate," said Mr. Irvine, despite Dr. Mcllveen's claim Oshawa has 44.6 percent of the region's population bút just over a third of the regional seats. However, an amendment was approve'd giving Oshawa four more local councillors who will not be on regional council. Liberal leader Robert Nixon said the structure of Durham might produce "an overlapp- ing patchwork" of authorities. He supported an amendment by William Newman (PC-Ont- ario south) calling for cohier- ing registry and land title boundaries with those of the region, It was defeated. At the same time Mr. Nixon said: "These second-tiered municipalities are there lar- gely as window dressing", with duties limited to selecting regional councillors. He warned "There are those who think that by 1984, the whole of Ontario will be single-tiered." Alex Carruthers PC-Dur- ham) spoke in favor of Darlngton Township's total inclusion in Newcastle. He said the people are "very insistent and very desirous" of locating outside Oshawa. "I think it is very, very important that we listen to the people and no large munici- pality should try to impose its will on a smaller municipality, he said. Mr. Irvine approved a motion which was subsequ- ently passed allowing a refer- endurm to choose the region's name. Voters will selet a nmae from four choices - Durham, Oshawa, McLaugh- lin or Pickering. Policing in the region was also debated Dr. McIlveen said the province should Hey, let s all go swimming.?!? Area MPPs supprt regional pli Dr. Matthew Dymond, me- mber for Ontario riding, said that he "had long been a strong advocate of strengthe- ning and restructuring local government." He said that "there is a long way yet to go, but I believe it is an essential steo." Dr. Dymond said he believ- es that the bill could have been introduced at least a year ago as recommended in the plann- ing studies. He said that he has attended numerous meetings in the areas in the region and has heard of the public input. In reference to parliament- ary assistant Donald Irvine, Dr. Dymond, said he was a "patient, tolerant, understan- ding man" who invited and considered suggestions from the people. Dr. Dymond said the flexi- bility of government and response to local input were well demonstrated in his constituency by the inclusion in the region of the four municipalities. He said, "A concept of this nature cannot come to pass without much criticism, de- bate, and at times demonstr- ations, of violent and bitter oppostion". Dr. Dymond concluded his remarks by saying, "A bright future'lies ahead in provincial municipal relations if the regional government concept becomes in fact an exercise in co-operation, and not the continuance of our present system. "There will always be problems, without problems there cannot be progress, he said." NEWMAN SUPPORT William Newman, provinc- ial member for Ontario South, gave support to the regional government bill. He said,"In principle it is a good bill. It is a forward-thinking bill and we must look for modernization of our county system". In reference to criticisms by the opposition parties given during the debate, Mr. New- man said, "The trouble with provide unconditional grants to bear the cost of a regional force. Michael Cassidy (NDP - Oshawa Centre) estimated the region would pay $500,000 in its first year of operation for police costs. He introduced a motion which was defeated calling for the OPP to continue policing rural areas in the region. Several NDP members ask- ed Mr. Irvine to explain why he did not support an Ontario County council resolution for regional elections on Saturday instead of Monday. He refused SILENT ONE "What do you think this place is all about? I am asking you a question. Why have you chosen Monday instead of Saturday? Don't sit there like an imbecile, " -Ian Deans (NDP-Wentworth) shouted to a silent Mr. Irvine. Wally Downer (PC-Dufferin Sincoe) joined other Govern- ment members, Drs. Mcll- veen and Matthew Dymond in supporting a change in the election date, but the motion was defeated. you people is that you want to play politics with people, and I am concerned about people." Mr. Newman went on to say that he would support the people because there is a need for change in the system of government around the great- er Metro area. "We are giving back to the people through regional go- vernm.ent many of the facilit- ies that they should have." Donald Irvine, he said, has done "a great job". He has had more than 70 meetings with representatives from the area." OPPOSES AIRPORT Mr. Newman said he agreed with statements by Michael Cassidy earlier in the evening, opposing the location of the Pickering airport. While Mr. Cassidy talked about the Airport for an hour, Mr. Newman limited his com- ments to five minutes. He said that his feelings on the airport are well known, but that he is "sick and tired" of listening to the New Democratic Party "criticize, criticize, criticize. You never offered one alternative, not one concrete proposal for regional government," he said Mr. Newman asked that Mr. Irvine look at the agreement between the Township of Pickering and Metropolitan Toronto regarding garbage disposal sites. He said there is a written agreement with Toronto regarding a disposal site, and he was concerned about the revenue Pickering township was going to receive. Mr. Newman said he was also concerned about services in the rural areas of the new region. He asked what would happen to the agricultural people. REGION FAMILY Alex Carruthers, member for Durham, said in his speech, which began shortly after 3 a.m., "Regional go- vernment is but a family of communities who have joined to accomplish those things which they were unable to accomplish as single muni- cipalities." Mr. Carruthers said region- al government is a step forward to insure sound social and economic future possibil- ities for the people of the Durham region. At the opening of his 20-minute speech, Mr. Carru- thers said that he supported the legislation. He said that municipal councils in Port Hope, Cobourg, and Hamilton Township strongly resisted and opposed the government's original proposal, which was then changed earlier last month by Treasurer John White. Mr. Carruthers said, "While I do not agree with the decision they made, I respect it and I have assured them of my full co-operation." Mr. Carruthers said the government has his co-oper- ation in any task which they may undertake to restructure what is left of the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham. Speaking on the Darilington decision, Mr. Carruthers said that reference to his use of "Political influence or back- behind-the-Tory influence" to get the 10 lots retained in Darlington is completely un- true. He said there are logical reasons why these 10 lots should remain in Darlington. He said, "With all deference to the member from Oshawa. I oppose the inclusion of the 10 lots for a number of reasons." He said there is no practical reason for Oshawa to increase its size when the whole policy is to control the growth' of cities today. He said there are some 4,000 people that have moved out of the Oshawa area into the Darlington area for a rural envrionment. He said that there are petitions containing 600 names, asking that the lots in Darlington remain in the township. Mr. Carruthers said the 10 lots contain valuable agricul- tural land which he would not like to see become urbanized. "If those 10 lots go into the City of Oshawa they will rapidly become urbanized and the people want to retain that agricultural land."
