To ask for'TV Ontario signal, The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Educa- tion is to write Susan Fish, Minister of Citizen and Culture for the Province of Ontario remiinding the Minister that a commitment had been made to provîde TV Ontario programming to the eastern area of the Board's jurisdiction. The plan has been stailed ~due to opposition to the erec- tion of a transmitting tower in the Gore's Landing area. Residents of the area are in Put development- plan on hold (Continued from page 1) it known they were less than happy with what council was doing in relation to farrn land. She said the proposai needed a harder look. Counc. Hubbard con- tinued that four neighbourîng fruit farmers had objected to the proposai and that the of- ficiai plan was clear as to what action council should take. She also said some farmers support rural residential developrnent whilc others were opposed. Mayor Rickard said coun- cil was calied upon to make decisions and outlined that tbe Town did have ample land for residential develop-_ ment stating in the urban areas there were services costing $21 million that would allowv for a population of 74,000 in Couirtice, Bowrnanviile and Newý,castie village. He also spoke of other sirilar areas in th e agriculturai area wbich couid be considered for resîdential development if approval was given to the Pedwell pro- posai. He insisted there were at ieast forty similar cases. The îviayor said the pro- posai was contrary to the of- ficiai plan, that the subject land was ciass one agricultural land in bis opi- nion, that confiicts would opposition to the tower stating it will interfere with radio and TV reception, be a hazard to a neighbouring air strip and emit dangerous radiat ion. The Board was of the understanding that the ser- vice wouid be in place within six months. To construct the tower in another location couid cost an additional $500,000 and reduce the area which the signal could service. arise and there had to be a concerl as to water supply and notcd the problem in both Newtonville and Orono as to proper water quaiity. He also noted that if a farmer bad to seli part of bis lands to make the farrn viable, that it was "the begin- ning of the end". Conce. Hamre said she did not feel that further housing along Bcllwood Drive would create more problems. She aiso said the Regional plan should be reviewed as to put- ting housing across the road fromn existing development. Counc. Taylor also spoke in opposition to the proposai. He said council should onily consider the basics of plann- ing and that was the use of the land. He said the officiai plan did juLst t hat and that the application was a significant change frorn the conditions of' permanent agricultural reserve designation. He also said it was not a matter of' cheap lots, nor rounding out across the road nor was it an economnic problem.. Taylor pointed out that the Town has thirteen harniets where infilling is aliowed and that there was rnany vacan- cies and that residential ex- panision should be in these areas as weii as the urban areas. He said the officiai plan and the zoning by-law does take care of the planning aspect of development. Counc. Hobbs said hie could accept the rejection of the proposai providing ail people are used fairly in the Town. i wvould not like to*re- ject this proposai and then later accept another, he said. Mainstream Canada A tip for the Tories: think small By<TOny Carlson 1Yheflood of analysis in the wake of the election has been airnost as overwhclmning as the ballyhooed "Tory Tide" that ripped through the Liberals. But there are some intri- guing elements of the election which may have become ob- scured in the wash of words that bas cascaded over us since September 4. First, voters deserve a pat on the back for taking their civic duties so seriousiy. More than 76 per cent of those eligi- ble cast their ballots across tbe nation. That's encouraging for two reasons: ît's 7 per cent better than the i980 campaign and it's markedly bigbcr than tbe record, in the United States where, habitualiy, almost half of the registered voters stay home on polling day. Our turnout refiects the de- grec to which average Cana- dians care about the affairs of their country. It is a trend to be applauded. This is especially true now because, as a resuit of the landsiide, the opposition in Pariamtent may be buried under mountaîns of work, its voice mufficd by a greatiy re- duced research staff. Nor will it be any picnic for those in power. Great-majori- tics breed greater expecta- tions. And the cold reality is, no econornic miracle will corne froin a single change of government. That's wby John Bulloch, President of the Canadian. Federation of Independent Business, is cautiousý when as- sessing the new balance' of power. 1 "There sbouid be sorne strengthening in investrnent and consumer spending be- cause of the confidence that cornes frorn a governrnent witb developmcnt as a major priority and wbose style is to deveiop a national consensus,"~ Bulloch says. "But there will be no magic cure for unem- ployment, especiaiiy among youth, until we start to ex- pand the econorny." The way to do that, fie says, is for the Conservatives to foster policies which encour- age smnall business, because studies show that two-thirds of young people get their first jobs in small firms. Bulioch's urging the Tories to put their priorities in thrce areas: e Simpiifying tax laws to free up the tirne and money of owner-managers. 0 Overhauling Revenue Can- ada so that the taxpayer is not guiity until proven innocent. a And, most important, using incentives to encourage people to put their savings into riskier srnall enterprises. Those tax breaks would re- direct cash from savings vehi- cles suc h as government bonds and RRSPs to expanding or new firms. That means jobs, and not at the taxpayers' expense. Such'moves would open up the capital fuel uines to, srall business which is, after aIl, the engine of the econorny.
