Environmental concerns considered in council decision Council members by a vote of six to one supported a staff report over development of lands north of the present Courtice Urban boundary and within an Environmentally Sensitive Aiea. The decision came after numerous delegations, with the exception of one, supported ic planning report. Land owning developers also opposed the planning report. The presentations to council and the following debate caused a late meeting for council and staff. The lands in question have been a matter of debate for some time and were included as, Living Area, in what Mayor Hamre called a political decision, in thc Regional Official plan. Clarington council had also suggested that the lands be considered as in a 30 year plan rather Uian a 20 year plan. The Ministry made note of the expansion of time as well-as noting Uic location of the lands in an Enviromnental Sensitive Aiea and had deferred approval of the area as a Living Arca. The Ministry had asked Clarington for clarification of their stand as well as comments wo statements made by other agencies relating to Uic use of the 132 acres as Living space. Councs. Ann Dreslinski and David Scott moved that council support Uic staff report in which it is suggested that a watershed plan be called for prior to any change and thc watershed plan to bc alI inclusive of Uic watershed aiea rather than site specific. Counc. Hannah, who had during Uic course of Uic debate, strongly supported the designation for Living Aiea, was the only councillor to oppose submitting Uic planning report ta Uic Ministry of Municipal Affairs. Proponents of devclopment of Uic area, of whîch there are rcee major players, have said that thc costs of the study would more than offset Uic revenue from Uice proposed dcvelopment. Five residents of the area opposed the planncd development without procceding through a Watershed plan. Jin Richards, of Uic Fricnds of the Second Maish also spoke agaînst development without a an all-encompassing watershed plan. He noted that over the ycars sedimental settling in Uic Second Maish had reduced the depth of the water from 6 feet ta less Uian a foot. The issue of the propased Living Area designation for the lands is now back in the hands of Uie Ministry of Municipal Affairs.

Police Service Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee by Constable Tom Drouillard in which he said he feit the ammunition he was issued posed Ila threat to (his) safety and to the public's safcty." Representatives from the Ministry of Labour admittcd at the meeting that the hollow point ammunition was the better ammunition, but-the standard ammunition was not found to be ineffective. A hoIlow point round breaks into slivers upon impact, which resits in a much larger exit wound and has considerably more stopping power than more conventional ammunition. Constable Drouillard's complaint to the Occupational Health and Safety Committee is based on saying by not allowing the police to use the more powerful ammunitio'n that they place the officers at risk when encountering criminals. Inspector Bill Watts of the OSOA says that the old ammunitioni is dangerous ta both officers and citizens because officers can't count on it to stop criminals from continuing to hurt or kil people. "What we are bcing told to use in the new semi-automatics is ammunition manufactured for targct shooting and-training. Even the manufacturers dont consider it operational ammunition for police use." SHarry De Jong, Chairman of the PAO fecis that "Police officers have a dangerous occupation and they deserve ta be protected by the laws that protcct other workers." As of this time, officers are not allowed ta substitute their own hollow point ammunition' for the standard rounds. Mr. De Jong, while stating there was nothing he could do at this trne did acknowledge that there was "clearly a nced for Celebrates 3Sth anniversary The Bowmanville Drama Workshop celebrates its thirty- fifth anniversary this year and begins the anniversary with the production of Paul Thompsons "The Faim Shiow".
