Clarke dîd extremely well and would have placed first, but they lost the final game. The tourna- ment was organized as a warm-up for the, Kawartha tournamnent for which Clarke is not eligible. The team was entered only for the practise. These boys will be stili juniors next year. Their future looks very promising indeed. Clarke's Track and Field team competed with Bow- manvilie on Friday April 5th. *Overali, Clarke was in the lead. Our strength this year will be the girl midgets and a junior boy, Brad Hillis. Brad won ail the events he entered in the senior division. Mr, Lowry, Ciarke's Phys. Ed. .Head, says that this may bç the best year for Track and Field in the history of the achool. Five achool records were broken at this exhibition tournament. On Apr-il 3rd four girls Janet Loveking, Anita Brady, Nan- cy Dykeman and Isobel Da- vidson, participated in a novice gymnastic competition at Pickering. Janet Lovekin on the uneven paraliel bars' quaiified for the competition heid at Henry Street High School in Whitby on April 8th. Ail the girls deserve to be commended for the effort and hard work which they put into their routines. A group of y'oung ladies called the Kalev Estienne 74 came to our school April 3rd * to demonstrate to the gymn- asts and the girls' Phys. Ed. Nuclear Ontario Hyctro has made a request to *the town of Newcastle to occupy a water lot for the proposed generat- ing station at Bowmanviile. This station will be six times larger than any other in the world, which makes .it even bigger than the present larg- est plant located at Pickering. Planning consultant, John Layng, in his report to the Planning Advisory Commit- tee recommended that Ont- ario Hydro supply the Townl with more detailed informat- ion on the project before they consent to the water lot. They should aiso include effects upon ecological resources in the area, disturbances, anc" the possibilîty of radiation fis-e, explosion and the change in quaiity of air and water. Mr. M. Palmer of the Minstry of the Environment is apparently satisfied with the Hydro's proposaI and their plans for studies and tests required by the Minis- try. But, Mr. E. Mitchell, assistant Land Supervisor of the Ministry of Natural Re- sources is concerned about the effects of this project on new shore currents and their effects on local ecology. Another concern of his is the rate of erosion caused by this and the possibility oi a 20 degree F. change between the tem-peraturesý af' the intake and' dischargp ýi'atr an the aquatie lite This nex'ý çfatien wIli Pro- duce( up t, !,9.o miegawatts hx pic ne-~ çrwer T lo conm classes the art of moderi. rythmnic gymnastica. t is a new concept in gymnastics using hoops, ribbons and balla to create, graceful floor rou- tines.

Ontario Hydro says they need this water lot to create space for the removal of earth fi from the high shore of the site to lower the grade of the proposed building site. This is to make for easier water pumping and better screening of the buildings. Doug Mloffatt, of the Plan- ning Committee, suggested that for one, the Hydro proves to the town that this project ia absolutely necessary, and also thiat their methoda for this project are correct. Since this station is going in imimediately south of a resid- ential area, hie also implied that, they would be receiving complaints fromn the residents of that area, because -of the, station, and the probably uines which would be going through their properties. 11 t was ponted out that ahl meetings with the Hydro are made Public, so the people will kin)w what is going to happei ' The Planning Committee hias apoe Mr. Layng's reotadno action wiil be tnken % "t as ta the consenting tý,' hç'r-a er lot. CLARKE LAWSUIT IN~HERITED BY NEW TOWN 0F NEWCASTIF ORÇAJNO WmLfL L1YIMES, trAPRL. IU, 1974~. Letter to 0oro0n o we ekl1y ti me 8 Editor Copy of Letter to The Editor, Oshawa's THIS WEEK Re : Newcastle dreams of P 46 issue of April 3. *Every time an article is written about Newcastle the iist of famous people seems to grow out of proportion. Why are Vincent and Ray- mond Massey names as being a product of the village Vincent Massey, the eider of the two brothers, was born in Toronto in 1887. If one were to state that their father was raised in Newcastle, they would be correct. t is doutful if any members of the Massey family resided in Newcastle af ter 1880 when the New Massey plant was opned in Toronto. The Township of Clarke has some dlaim to Joseph Atkin-< son who was born east of Newcastle in the community now nicknamed "Brownsville He did spend most of his early years in the village of Newcastle. The dlaima to Bishop Breint is quite permissibie as hie was born in the village, but to state that Robert Baldwin, one of Canada's prime ministers, grew Up in Newcastle is ridiculous! Robert was born in Toronto in 1804 although his father Dr. W.W. Baldwin did reside in the township for a very short time ( a year or two). Ahl remaining members of the Baldwin family residing in Clarke moved to Toronto in 1810. According to Dick Lovekin, "the departure of the Massey works was the death-knell of Newcastle." This statemient la partially correct. t was a combination of the loss of the Massey works and the burn- ing of the woollen miii at the same time, which killed the village. The burning of the miii was thr t urning point in' the life of Joseph Atkinson who had been one of the many empioyees. If Mr. Lovekin is respons- ible for the statement that "they (Lovekin family) were responsible for founding of the vil lage of Newcastle", then I challenge him to substantiate thîs statement with some documented facts. If Mr. Wilson, staff writer, gleaned thîs information from another source, then he is guilty of poor reporting. The continuance of mis- leading statements only serve to emphasize the need to publish our new 22-chapter history of Clarke Township. The problem MONEY.

Outlîning some of the nackgroune, Mr. Swartz saici part of Lot 33, Con. 5 and Lot 29 Con. 5, were bought in June of 1969 with the understanding that Clarke Twp. councîl would allow rezoning favor- able to Mr. Ochonoski's intent to subdivide and buiid on the land. However, in November of 1969 a new Clarke zoning bylaw for the area had Mr, Ochonski's land designated as an agricultural area, said Mr. Swartz, disallowing any use of the properties for construct- ion of the proposed 55 homes, on single acre lots. Foiiowing severai meetings with the township council,,Mr. Swartz said his client was assured by council that ail he had to do was submit an application for the appropr- iate rezoning and since the matter had aiready been before them, council wouid process the application, "as a mnatter of paper wurkY" The application was sub- mitted immediately, he said, but the delay continued until sometime in September of 1972, at which time. out of frustration Mr. Ochonski launched a iawsuit against the township council to force the township to honor the byiaws which he feels they had committed themselves to, in this case. The matter was negotiated out of court and went insteadý to, the 0MB in '1973, thus Clarke had to submit an amendmnent to the draft of the official plan, (already sub- mitted to Queen's Park and awaiting approval). The 0MB aiso suggested that Clarke council make some kind of representation to Queen's Park to, explain the situation to, ministry officials. The delegation from Clarke council neyer made the trip to Toronto, said Mr. Swartz, who feels that this may have beeni crucial to both Mr. Ochonskî's situation and to the township, since the zoniing amendment, was refused. He said he feels certain "Queeni's Park would've res- cued the township." To clarify the matter'and get some final resuits, in December 1973 Mr. Ochonski launched a lawsuit in the Supreme Court, in order to recoup the lasses he had suffered and la still awaiting the results. This suit, originaily lodged against the now defunct Clarke council, will flot fali under the responsibiiity of the new Town of Newcastle, said Mayor Garnet Rickard. The town's solicitor, Rich- ard Lovekin, has been instru- cted to look into the mnatter and will report to counceil. Somewhat rankied by what he considered threats of lawsuit to get the proper reaction from council, Coun. Kirk Entwisie, a former Clarke councilior, voice his disapproval at the tactic. "No, no, I'm not threaten- ing to.sue," said Mr. Swartz, confronting the irate council- lor "I've aiready sued as of December 73." Mr. Swartz said hie hoped that the matter could still be settied out of the courts, if at ail possible, but the next move is up to Newcastle council who hiave been lef t responsibie for the matter, by rights of regionai inheritance laid out in Bill 162, establishing the William C.
