Forrester, Ownar.Ed itar Su bscripton $1 7.00 perannum A 40î.7 Compromise? At the last meeting of council the Committee of Concerned Citizens headed by Lynn Helpard proposed, what has been called a comprise, for the 407 wbich the Ministry of Transportation has slated to cross mid-way tbrough the Town on what they cail a technical preferred route. The 407 is to linkup with 115/35 at the intersection at Enterprise. In the past the Committee of Citizens (CCC) have been opposed to the selected preferred route that bas been chosen by the Ministry and which has been supported at the Region of Durham witb the inclusion of the road in their new, yet to be approved, officiai plan. The compromise as proposed by the CCC would have 407 enter the Town ofNewcastle along the preferred route to a point somewhere just soutb of Solina (Courtice Road) where it would turn south te link with 401. It was noted that this plan would provide dhe town witb the required transportation link for industry. The compromise pîan runs'along with what has been proposed by the Ministry with the exception that it stops at Solina rather than proceeding on to link witb 115/35. The link witb 401 bas always been a consideration and reality as far as the Ministry is concerned. A Notice of Motion bas been submitted te council by councillors Hannah and Hooper that the former action of council, opposing the 40Y7, be rescinded and that the compromise plan as suggested by the CCC be accepted as the position of the Town of Newcastle. t is hardly a plan that will be accepted by the Ministry of Transportation for 407 is intended to serve more than just the lakeshore communities. After all the province just opened 115 ai a cost of $10 million over a fifteen years period which opens a traffic' link into the north east and Peterborough in partîcular. One would imagine that 407 is part of the overaîl plan. If it is the intent of the province to proceed in the future with 407 through te 115/35 highway it should now take a stand and place uts cards face-up on the table. Properties along die preferred route cannot be beld in a "hold position" as has been the case over the past couple of years. Perhaps we should not anticipate what support the Notice of Motion gets firom counicillors but it does appear that some opinions have cbanged as te whether alternatives can be found te what appears to bc another surge of traffic corridors across the province. t has been noted recently that between 1960 and 1990 the number of Canadian homes owning automobiles bas more than doubled from 2.9 million te 7.4 million. t is being said that a second transportation revolution will take place over the next decade that will confirm the car as the prime means of transportation for at least the next fifty years and that traffic will again double in the next tbirty years. This revolution, it bas been stated, just does flot happened but is orchestrated by powerful industries who are the beneficiaries of the car being continued as the means of the prime mode of transportation. t was so in the past and surely te happen again. Professor Whitelegg of the Lancaster University, England, states that govemments are deliberately creating the demand for mobility to satisfy industry. It is being stated that new research from many countries is showing a relationship between bealth disorders, communîty breakdown, social inequalities and crime te that of the growtb of traffic.'1 People, says Ray Godwin of the New York Group Transportation Alternatives, are being left out of the transportation equation in favoutr of govemnment and industrys policies te increase car numbers. t would bc to much te think that Newcastle may be a leading force for change.

Lt would take at least six montbs to apply for a rezoning of the lands so that such an operation could be legalIly undertaken. 1t was at this point that Porter came up with the decision that lie would operate a consumers distribution centre out of the trailer ratber than a retail sales operation. The consumer distribution plan did flot conflict with the conditions of the zoning on the lands. To meet the conditions of consumer distribution customers were banded a printed sheet with the list of articles for sale, or in this case distribution. The customer ticked off the items desired and handed the list to the sales cîerk wbo then entered the trailer wbere die order was filled and then delivered to the c ustomer outside the traider. t was consumer distribution not retail sales.

Stewardship: In our area, Clarke Township, Town of Newcastle (soon te be Clarington), we have the G.R.C.A. whicb was set up by the province as tbe first of its kind. Apparently, our leaders felt at the time that they could trust the conservation authorities to be responsible care-takers of our water, its restoration, protection, recharge abilities and management thereof. Today we understand this to mean 'Watersbed Planning', a concept wbich is a must if we are to plan and evolve lives wbicb will bc supportable on this eartb. At no time bas our province been more in need of stewards, or caretakers, to belp in this terribly important work, work whicb is weîl in band under the guidance of local autborities. You migbt be well advîsed to increase the responsibilities of the authorities, instead of decreasing funding, in a move towards greater efficiency and less duplication. TbatVs bow te REALLY cut conts. The conservation authorities study, teacb and CARE'about their areas. 1 urge you to continue their much-needed support-.
