Lyall $1 million for landbanking in Newcastle Town cost $100,000.00 and it was his hope that it would be in operation by July of 1975. During the past two and a half years the Newcastle Club had raised $12,000 to $13,000 for the project.

Eight of the region's 30 councillors were listed in the March 13-20 accounts and it was Coun. Ken Lyall (New- castle) who received some good nature kidding, in his absence), he is a member of the social services committee from some of the finance committee members. Coun. Lyall's allowance of $111.90 the highest amount of the eight, prompted Coun. Gordon Attersley (Oshawa) to remark humorously, "I wish you'd have Lyall come in by car instead of private plane." "He must have a Lear jet," added Coun. John Aker (Osh- awa) with a smile. Although it was not related to any of the mileage allowan- ce payments (coun- cillors receive 15 cents a mile) the committee had a short discussion of the policy for councillor's mileage. The policy, read Coun. George Ashe (Pickering), committee chairman, applies to miles driven by a councillor in the "normal performance of his duties." Coun. Allan Pilkey (Osha- wa) described the policy as "kind of an honor system..." "...until it's abused," added Walter Beath, regional chair- man. Planning for the future of the new municipality, New- castle's five year capital forecast budget calls for an expenditure of more than a million dollars for land-bank- ing' to provide cheaper home 'îtes in the future. The million dollars has been allocated for expenditure during the year 1975. The budget given approval by council now goes to regional council. Regional council will amal- gamate all the capital fore- cast budgets submitted by the area municipalities, into a regional budget to be submit- ,ed to Queen's Park said Newcastle Clerk Joseph McIlroy Wednesday. He cited several reasons for the rather massive sum for land purchase in a single year. By having all the money available at once, he said, council could gain a little leeway in any land transact- ions they negotiated. It would be good in buying any decent sized parcel of land, he said, rather than budgetting for small amountb over longer periods which would force council to acquire land "In a piecemeal fashion" Another reason for the P.e NO WEEKLY TIMES, MARCH 27th, 1974 rather large sum is that landbanking is something re- latively new to the three month old municipality and was not something done very extensively in the former muncipalities of Darlington and Clarke Twps.

See terminatîon of Orono par The possibility of organz- ing a new park board for Orono is still hanging in mid air, but council has taken one step towards ground. The existing board no longer wants the responsibilities of running the park, so it is up to council to take over, since the town of Newcatle does now own the park property. But, until that time, the board has been asked to meet and draw up a set of recommendations to submit to council. Several problems have a- risen at the park, which the board does not really want to deal with. One, is keeping up with Dept. of Health regulat- ions, especially where the swimming pool is concerned. The chaning rooms obviously neec updating, but since the bui' 'ing does not belong to then., another problem aris- es. It is unanimously agreed that it should be moved to the Dental assistant program a Next taîl. Durham College will begin a Dental Assistant program to prepare skilled assistants for employment in dental offices and clinics in the Durham and surrounding regions. The function of the dental assistant is primarily to save the dentist's time. The duties range from patient reception through general dental pro- cedures. The one year program will give students specialized training in chairside assist- ing, office procedures and dental laboratory work. Local dentists will participate in the instruction at a dental clinic at the college. Field practice will be provided in dental offices in the area, and arrangements will be made for the students to spend one week at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Tor- onto. After serving a one-year in service training period in a dental office, gradutates of this program will be eligible for certification by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons. It is also the future aim of this prograin to offer training in chairside assistance in the expanded duties, as soon as the appropriate amendments to existing legislation are approved. These expanded duties will include rubber cup prophylaxis, the application of anti-cariogenic substances the application of pit and fissure sealants, the applicat- ion of rubber dams and oral hygiene instruction. Applications for the pro- it durham gram are now being received and those interested should contact the Durham College Admissions Office at Box 385, Oshawa.

Dog licences now at Orono office Good news for people of Orono and Clarke -- if tax information can be described as good news. The good news is that dog licenses can now be bought in the Orono office of the New Town of Newcastle. According to Councillor Kenneth "KEL" Lyall, the measure to allow dog licenses to be sold in Orono was passed last week at the New Town of Newcastle Finance Commit- tee meeting and Horace Best, in charge of the Orono office has now received a supply of tags and the necessary docu- ments. "That". Mr. Lyall stated, "is one minor irritant elimin- ated. Now, when Council works out some sort of a deal so that the taxpayers of Orono and Clarke, who are a long distance telephone call away from the main office of the New Town of Newcastle in Bowmanville, can call that office, toll free, a major irritant bothering taxpayers will be removed." According to Mr. Lyall, Council officers will be meet- ing with telephone officials in the near future in an effort to work out some of the com- munication problems bugging certain taxpayers. ;;;;Il Mme
