- &Ono elp~nt1 r 5ecod Can Mal Restrat1oe Numb« 00065 Are we losing out? With the announcement last week that the Town of Cobourg had received a $500,000 grant from the province to assist in the transformation of their waterfront into a major centre of activity and with the City of Os hawa also in major improvements to' their waterfront for the general public one has to ask where are we going in the Town of Newcastle which has considerable, if flot more, waterfront area than either the two above centres. It has been stated that the Community Waterfront Program gives municipalities the chance to redevelop their waterfronts for the benefit of the entire community. It was something that we had looked forward to in the Town of Newcastle but recent events leave nagging perception that it is flot going to happen. The Cobourg and Oshawa waterfronts are excellent examples of years of planning which has not been the case in the present area of the Town of Newcastle. The presenit coun- cil has had no base on which to build but this should flot mean that the waterfront should erode out of the hands of counicil and from use by the citizens of this community. .Some prime lands at the waterfront have recently been gobbled up by the private sector and for them it becomes an investment which is only natural. But in the meantime the Town has proposed a planning study of the lakefront and are awaiting some provincial funds to carry this planning pro- cedure ouÎt. But it mfay bëToD lare IM O1TMMg Certainly we beleive that a freeze on development along the Newcastle waterfront is in order until at least the planning process has been completed by the Town's planning departmnent and with input from the general public. The Town found itself behind the eîght-ball in the Village of Newcastle when commercial development was ready to surge ahead on the fringes of hie Village while the core area was to be left in what could have been a dead zone. If it is legal and warranted in a such a case as Newcas- tle Village and to this point it is holding firm then it must also be so for the lakefront. The move is made now or aIl is lost. The proponents of the Newcastle On The Lake pro- posaI now have an application before the Region of Durham for an OfficiaI Plan Amendment. Surely a commitmnent has not been made at thîs point but it would not be fair to give hope that ail is roses for the proposaI and that Newcastle is for sale. Speaking of quality of life, for those in the Town of Newcastle to day and tomorrow. Do give us some room to move and breathe amongst aIl this new development. Plant a tree It has been a concensus over the years that carbon dioxide admitted from burning fossîl fuels and other sources found a sink in the great oceans of the southern hemisphere. This was true for at Ieast haîf of the emissions of 6.6 billion tonnes per year. A new study and report questions this fact and sug- gests that the plants and forests of the northern hemisphere appear to be playing the big part as a sink for carbon dioxide. This find adds greater importance to the forests in the area as well as in Eurasia. lt's something we alI can play a part in with little ef- fort and the opportunity certainly is upon use this coming week with the celebration of Earth Day. Find a niche on your property for a tree not only in recognition of Earth Day but in the health of the enviroment. Crombie (Continued from page 1) ta the Don . . . a sewer. Crombie also spoke of many smalî groups- throughout the area such as SAGA that do have a great interest in the environment and that the commission will be nmeeting with such organizations. He pointed out that the study wilî 'ake in an area, now, greater than the Greater Toronto area. He said it would reach from the Niagara Escarpment to the Trent- water' system. It wll include a north-south area from the Moraine to the, lakefront. The commissioner said it was amazing just how much land would be available along the lakefront for public açcess. "Seventy percent of the, lakefront could be opened ta the public with little effort," he said. These particular lands are owned by various levels of govero- ment and conservation authorities while other could, through agree- ment, could allow public access. Crombie acknowledged there would be some difficult areas but some form of stewardship could be arranged he fet. He said the corn- -- -1-- -it seven ta eight mnechanismfs 'that could possibly open up these lakefrant lands. Crombie said that a public hear- ing was ta be held at the Centrai Lake Ontario Conservationý Authority on April 23rd. The hear ing is being held by the commission. Ron Doering spoke of the interest of the visit ta the Ganaraska and that they would pay another visit. Kathy Guselle, chairman of SAGA, said she was delighted by the increase in the mandate as now set for the commission and that it included the Oak Ridges Moraine. She said that Crombie did have a clear vision of what he would like ta see came from the study. Guselle said bath were impressed wvith the active springs in the h ead- waters and especially that at the Dell where the water bubbles up out the sând and the water can be heard running under the ground. SAGA is preparinig a presenta- tiaon ta be made ta the Royal Com- mission on a hearing ,,ta be held in Toronto on April l7th. According ta Kathy Guselle they are ta ask the commission ta support the recent Byers' report and that it be recam- mended that the Ganaraska head- water's area be given a "Provincial lnterest" designation. ince -visiting theGarsk area Commissioner Crombie has presented an initial repart on the lakefront area.
