9-ORO0NO WEEKLY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1977' Ororio Weekly Times THIE ELECTION Many are calling the forthcoming provincial election slated for June 9th as the 'two percent election' referring that from ail outward appearance it being called over the issue of rent control. The Conservatives were supportive of a yearly eight percent increase while the oppositions parties wanted the increase tied to anti-inflation guidelines wbich -during the year could slip to six percent. Irregardless of the rent control issue the e lection more than likely is being held due to the gallup poli wbich places the conservatives in an ideal position with support lost in the last election returning to both their leader and the party. If the poli bolds and it is likely to do so the conservatives could well find tbemselves in a position of strength in the next legisature. The local conservatives in 'the Durham East riding have put ah ,gears into motion since last Friday and announcments are made as to the nomination meeting and such local gatherings as the Carke Township association. There is no doubt that not only the local conservatives but those at Queen's Park would be overjoyed to oust the sitting member Doug Moffatt. The three NDP members from the Durham area me, t be a thorn in the side of the conservatives and the riding of Durham East could weli receive a lot of attention from the big blue machine., Moffatt may weli be a bard nut to crack for- it is universally known that a member who looks after his riding is always hard to beat. Moffatt has worked hard since taking his seat at Queen's Park and be no doubtstîli holds a bard working local association. 1The NDP party organization was crçdited with a lot of Moffatt's success in the, past election but no doubt the disenchantment wîth Davis was also an assist for the NDP candidate, This latter fact wiil not play as great a part in this election unless anti-regionai attitudes prevail. t is going to be a short election with just a littie over one month to go before the ballot is marked and this makes organîzation a key word in the campaign. CONFIDENCE OR APATHY' Last week the Orono Chamber of Commerce had siated a meeting at which the guiest speaker was a representative of Eldorado who ,was prepared to provide local residents with the aspects of the proposed Eldorado development in the Town ýof Newcastle. Attendance at the meeting amounted to four persons. 0f course the proposed plant is not being built in this community and as is always th e case who is concerned uniess some development is being placed in our backyard. Perhaps it could also be argued that residents do have confidence in controis that eliminate ail controlable disasters.* Counce. Dykstra at the recent meeting of council drew attention to present work underway at the Port Granby dump site in an effort to reduce the hazard of possible pollution to the lake and area. He stated he was impressed with the work underway and feit a real effort was belnig made. Also in the same corner the Atomic Energy Control Board bas also been satisfied with the work of Eldorado at the dump and this must give some confidence in the concerns of the company. DECISIONS TO BE MADE Monda y nigbt Town council wa informed that they had but a few days to make a decision on the purchase of the old Kirby Schooi even though this matter bas been before council for months, maybe as many as a dozen. Confronted with this imited time limit couincil did make a decision to make an offer for tbe purchase of the school'and determined the amount of their offer in conimittee. The fact that council is willing to subscribe the full sum for the purchase could be taken as a diversion from past policy if one is to lump cultural activities witb that of recreation. In the matter of arenas, community centres and such as the proposed indoor pool and squash courts in Bowmanville council bas made it known that public participation and part financing must be part of the project. Fromn discussion on Monday it was not the case with the niuseu m group. There is rio doubt that the Kirby school; its property and its location would bc an ideal undertaking -for the purposes the Orono and area group see for the building. However corridor talk bas it that the central museum board is less than enthused over the projecta~nd as a resuit bave added littie to plausible discussion. t bas aiso been heard along, the same corridors that grants wouid be available if certain funds were raised by the local organization. t was indicated that there could weli be a three way split, between the Town, the Museum Board and, a provi1,ncial organization- If this is fact then it is a shame that suchi did flot come out in the discussion of the purchase. Can council expect one group in the community, those inovdwith arenas to divvy up while another is handed the fu(d or their undertakings. t might aiso be stated that somne Inthe area feel that funding could be subscribed in the disic tisch an undiertakcing. Thie question miigbt be asked, did counicil sit on the XSERICESTATION@ Hlighway 3'5 and 11,just north of Newcastle I FVeaturing:I Premium 'Quaiity Products _At the Most Reasonable n- Prices Letter to editor I noticed in last week's local press that Sam- Cureatz, a Newcastle lawyer bas evi- denced iiterest in securing the Conservative nomination for this riding in the forth- coming June 9tb Provincial' m m nmmm m MOBILE HOMES (Continued from page 1) referriniz to wben hie would not accept the resolution. To this the Mayor said hie and the clerk were working on the procedure but that hie heid it was a substantive motion, Counc. Woodyard spoke in favour of the deveiopment saying that Clarke council had- carried out an indeptb study of the proposal and had received nothing but favour- able reports from municipal officers. He pointed out that mne resolution oniy asked fot modification of the -officiai plan and that an agreement would have to be signed between Rice and the Town, Mlayor Rickard pointed out that counicil had no input on tbe deveiop ment from their own staff, no idea of financiai. impact, it is five miles from nearest firehaîl. H1e also said it drew development out of the Village of Newcastle and already the Town bad turned down other developers out- side the Village.-He aiso said the Town was awaiting se- condary plans botb tbe Vil-' lage, and Bowmanville 'and this motion was putting the cart before the horse. Mayor Rickard said it wouid become the case that council could be rushed witbout giving due consider- ation to a proposai. Counce. Dykstra said tis would not be the case. If this is the case, he saîd, "then we should neyer have approved in principal wbat you did in Courtice." Mayor Rickard then at- tempted to have the resolu- tion tabled but after being seconded by Counc. Wood- yard for discussion purposes the tabling motion was. de- feated. Prior-to the passing of the resolutions and during the delegation session David Rice brougbt counicil up to date witb the dleveiopment whicb in the beginning was for 1000 units. The number of units bas now been cut to some 550 units. This was due to the fact that the bydro transmission uines will take a 600 swath tbrougb the property. H1e also reviewed the tax revenue from the compiex statîng that the Town would receive from $230,00 to $250,000 from the development tbroughi taxes each year. t was also pointed out that the scbeme had received tentative approval both from the former Town- ship of Clarke and tbe foarmer council of the Town of Newcastle. Mr. Rice asked that council request the Region to petition the Ministry of Housing to rnake a modification of the officiai plan to include- the development in. the Town. (Cociintiedl from page 1) operating costs; would affect the Town over tbe next years. Trhe $5,000 motion was defeated. A second motion to make an offer to the board for the school wvas passed with the election. Now, Sam is a nîce guy and it wouid be difficuit to discover a better citizen. However, Sam happens to be a lawyer and one tbing that the people of Ontario and Canada do not need is another lawyer - even one as good as Sam, representing us in the parliaments of our country. In the past I ran across the figures numbering the am- ount of lawyers wbo over the years have been and' are Federal Members of Par- liament and how many iaw- yers bave been and are M.P.P.'s at Queen's Park here in Ontario. I do not have these figures to hand out but one thing for sure is that our country today is in one terrible mess pliitically speaking and the piethora of lawyers wbo have formed a large majority of the profes- sions and trades of our elected figures and leaders since 1867 are largely respon- sible for our unenviabie position. So please, ladies and gentle- men of the local Tory organization, nio more new lawyer candidates. To sumn up. Ln the language of the people, we Canadians need more lawyers - and incidently, NDP Govern- ments, running our public affairs like we need more holes in our beads. Sîncerely, Tennetb E.
