In June of 1985 council lad passed a motion that the cost and responsibility of upgrading storm sewers on Prince Street betWeen Liberty and Simcoe avenue would be that of the liospitals. 'On Monday council following a plea fram the Hnos pital Board and a djgitién council accepted the responsibility at an estimated cost of $85,000 with the manies ta be taken from the Workîng Capial Reserve Fund. It was pointed aut ta count- cil members in a repart from the liaspitai board that this matter must lie resalved in order tlat the hospital could proceed witli their site plan leading_ ta tlie calling of tenders. It was furtler stated tlat the province would flot assist the hospitai in financing with any aff-site facilities. The province lias given approvaI for tlie reconstruction pro- gram however. hospU i tal Through engineering studies it lias been reported that the Prince Street starmn sewer was not adequate ta carry the extra runoff fram the new development at the liospital. A public works report stated that if tlie storm sewer was not replaced ta be able ta carry additional runoff sur- charging could exist an private property. .On motion of Mayor Rickard and Counc.

Darryl Somierscale of Courtice spolke of develop- mnent whiclilhe said, .was painfully low in the Town of Newcastle. "Look ta the west", he saiud, "we are years behind". He spoke of the problem withi kids loitering and said the only answer council had hiad was for more police patrol. This, he said, only creates friction. Somerscales said he sup- ported the Waverley Mal which he claimed would have created a tax revenue of some $250,000. He said it was a cancern that people had ta go ta Oshawa ta sliop. Somerscales was also critical of planning, "the bureaucracy is caming out of our ear", he said. "Let's get things happening". Garnet Rickard said the position of Mayor required experience and that he hiad the experience and was ready ta serve again. He said lie was free of any conflicts and was able ta get a consensus fram council and to arxa the facts an a knowledgeable basis. Rickard said Newcastle needed a mayor ta address tlie needs of the town and that lie was praud of the record of the tawn. He said the tawn would ac- cept development that is good and that he was not ready ta selI aur life ta any Tom, Dick or Harry. He said it liad just been an- nounce the servicing of in- dustrial land in Bowmiauville which he 'stated was the largest industrial holding of land in al of the Region., "I can work witli council and staff at bath the Town and Regional level of govern- ment", lie said. "I'm tlie an- ly candidate that can fi this role", he stated. John Winters in opening lis address said, "let's ex- amine the facts". He said lie admitted that a nuffber of new industries had moved into the town but wliat of the number that have moved out. I-jere he named Ceramic Tile, Honeywell and others. He painted ta popula- tion gawth that, lie said, has remained at a constant level aver tlie past ten years. He questioned what lad been calied sound planning stating that millions of dolla rs having been spent on ao new sewage plant and a sewage line up Mearns Avenue which served empty fields. Tiis, lie- said, hiad beIen undertaken while the Core area of Bowmranille hias sewage problemrs. He wýas also critical of' the stand of' council lin opposing the pro- posed rcnew ail for \Waverley- Baseline area. H-e said counicil had voted against the wislies of the people. He said such a developý- ment woufld have assisted thec downtrown core of the towýn. He said council had been taken more and more land out of agriculture while ser- viced land for residential pur- poses was flot being used. Winters spoke of Co- tamninated Water supplies and a contaminated beach, an un- safe arena and a serious cul- back in services. He said the towý,n would be in a deficit position with the loss of reserves if facilities were brought up to standard. "What is experience if it's bad experience?", he asked. My profession is business and as Mayor he said lie would encourage public par- ticipation and provide strong leadership on a team plant.
