8-Orono Weeklv T'imes, Wednesday, December 7th, 1977 Seek developmnent west Bowmnanvîlle The Durham Region plan- ning and developmnent depart- ment last Tuesday at a meeting held in Bowmanville stated they would miuch rather see future develop- ment take place hmmediately west of Bowmanville rather than as proposed by the Town of Newcastle to the north and east. The department was reporting on a special study made on lands wÀ,est of Bowmanville and now held by developers. This land was set aside as a special study area some one and a haîf years ago. The a rea conta ined somne 1300 acres. The land is located west of Martins Road, north of High- way 401 within the northern boundary two miles north of Highway 2 a nd with a western boundary of the Maple Grove rond. The area would contain developmnent for a populatiod of 6,000 to 8,000 people. It was pointed out at the meeting that if the proposai was accepted by the planning committee and by the region- al councîl development could be started as early as 1980. It was stated at the meeting that the area west of Bow- manville was the most logical for development due to close- ness to transportation an~d ense of service. The depart- ment favoured this area for development over the north and east sector of Bowman- ville. At *the present time Bow- manville development is ai- Most at a stand stili and wil' remain so until such time as the new Soper sewage treat- ment plant is completed sometime in 1980. At one time the development firm of Milan and Milan had propos- ed they would bear the cost of a treatment 'plant for Bow- manville to allow develop- ment in the west. This offer was turned down by the Town of Newcastle. Winterîze drîving Each year at this time a number of motorists become involved in automobile acci- dents because they fail to winterize their vehicles ,and even more importantly their driving. If you haven't already done so, the Ontario Provincial Police urge you to equip your vehicle for winter. Lack of traction and poor visibiity There was five inches of rainfaîl in November. This has been the wettest year in ninety-nine years. Letters fromn our friends have come with remarks like, "We have just finished digging the last of our potatoes out of the niud". Let us hope that beca use we have had so mnuch ramn there will be less snowfall the coming winter. Kendal was a busy place on Saturday night. The Orange- mnen were holding a dance in the Hall and Mrs. Lawrence Farrow was holding a Piano Recital in the United Church. There were forty-two numn- bers including those by a younig violinist, J. Danbe and the guest pianist Eric Lamb- ier. Ail the children put on ani exceedingly fine performance and they and their teacher Mrs. L. Farrow are to be coagratulated. This writer enjoyed the duets Nadine and Sharon Stapleton sang, "Go tell it on, the mountain", and "Mansion over the hilltop". Gwenyth Ard and Mary Lowery sang, "I don't know who holds tomorrow- and "Silver Belîs". Over Hlil and Dale was played by Shelley and Lance Payne. "Warblers of the Forest" was played by Gwenyth Ard and Lance Payne. 0f course we ail enjoyed, "Frosty the Snowman" by our Kendal kiddies. Mlany of us are rather confused by the new road sîgns. We see speed limit 50 kilometers and our speedo- meter is in miles. Simrply nultiply the first digit by six. That is 5 x 6 equals 30 miles an hour. If the speed limit is g0 km. multiply eight by six and you get 48 miles an hour or are the major causes of winter mishaps, therefore, ensure you have good snow tires for traction and to obtain the best possible vîsibility make sure you have a good pair of windshield wipers, an ice scraper and your defrost- er is functioning properly. t is also essential to adjust your driving.during the win- ter months. Take time in the about 50 miles an hour. After the events Saturday night we were rather surpris- ed to see so many out on Sunday morning. 0f course the Sunday School were practicing for putting on their annual program next Sunday morning at 1: 15. Rev. Tiz- zard announced that there would be a pot luck dinnier following this program next Sunday morning. The scrip- ture reading was St. Luke 2:1-20 (the Living Bible) Verse 15 says, "Let's go to Bethlehem. Let's see this wonderful thing that has happened". t was emnanuel God with us. They ran to the village to find out. This was an entirely new idea. God a baby meek and lowly. H1e changed the time fromn B. C. to A.D. Jesus gave us a new idea of forgiveness and love. Christmas means more than presents. They say the Shep- herds brought a lamb as their gift to Him. But his gift that day was lîfe eternal to ail who come to Himn. Everyone is weicomne next Sunday the eleventh to hear, the children's programn and enjoy the pot luck dinner at noon.
