Other facilities, equipment and systems at the plant will be modified, upgraded, and expanded as required to accommodate accommodate the new calciner, increased production levels and increased shipping by boat through the Great Lakes system to the United States and to key Ontario markets. "Bowmanville's strategic location on Lake Ontario was an important factor in our selection of this particular particular site for this far reaching program and major investment," said Mr. Wrinkle. While unit labour costs will be reduced reduced as a result of the program, Wrinkle said there will be no reduction reduction in the plant's workforce and, in fact, new permanent jobs will be created. In addition, the construction activity at the plant will afford expanded expanded employment opportunities in the Bowmanville area. Wrinkle added that with the sophisticated sophisticated new equipment, the plant's high standard of environmental environmental protection -- already well within regulatory guidelines -- will be enhanced even further. "With this project, we are confirming confirming our commitment to Bowmanville - and to the future," Wrinkle said.

That decision was reached on October October 19 by a vote of 19-9. But a technicality technicality in the rules of procedure briefly prevented regional council from taking taking any further action. This is.due to the fact that the regional regional council ended , its meeting without a quorum last Wednesday. Since the minimum number of councillors councillors needed to conduct business was not available, council was unable unable to ratify the proceedings until a special council meeting on Tuesday. Last Wednesday's session began with a presentation from PACT (Pickering Ajax Citizens Together for the Environment) spokesperson Pat Clarke asking members of council council to endorse the notice of motion proposed proposed by Councillors Bob Mitchell (Pickering) and Jim Witty (Ajax). Their motion urged the Durham Region not to accept any more of Metro's Metro's garbage when the Brock West landfill site in Pickering closes in 1990. The motion also said that the Region Region would rescind a resolution passed in 1985 that allowed Metro and Durham to work together to develop a long-term landfill site for joint use in tne Region.' • / • Newcastle Councillor Diane Ham- re said she would support the resolution resolution but knows Metro could come in at any time to develop a landfill site. "We may get a second site in the Region owned by Metro and the Region Region would have no control over how it is managed," Councillor Hamre said. Some councillors, however, said they thought other waste management measures should be in place before a motion like that is passed. Oshawa Councillor John Aker said they had acted as reasonable people when they asked Metro to leave Brock West early. He saia this motion was "election panic" and in the 11th hour this was a decision to abandon ship. When council met again on Tuesday, Tuesday, it considered a resolution to reconsider reconsider the idea of severing Durham's Durham's ties with Metro. This notice \(f, reconsideration by Councillor Ed Ko- lodzie and Councillor Lav/rence Malcolm Malcolm failed in a recorded vote of |8-8. Four councillors were absent. After Tuesday's special session of regional council, Councillor Marie' Hubbard told The Statesman that an announcement was made at the meeting meeting yesterday regarding Metro and the N1 site in Courtice. She said Metro Toronto's latest decision decision is to go onto the N1 site to begin taking soil samples. Councillor Hubbard concluded by saying "Now we have to be vigilant as ever in our stand against Metro." I MORE SEATS - Many individuals and organizations are contributing to the Recreation Complex building fund by buying seats at $1,000 each. Last week, we took a picture of the Friday Night Goodtimers hockey club that bought three seats. We listed their pledge as a donation and didn't mention the seat purchase.

We understand the electric ones can be changed without damaging the works. But, we're no experts. LEAKY ROOF - While we are talking about arenas, a letter appears in this issue, complaining about the condition of the roof at the Darlington Sports Centre. From all reports, it leaks like a sieve and pails have to be placed all over the ice when it rains, like it did on Monday. This arena is relatively new, but it apparently apparently needs some repairs before the condition worsens. worsens. The problem is not recent, we recall it raining during the Home Show several months ago, and pouring pouring through the roof. ' MORE BEEF - There are so many beef and turkey dinners being served to hungry patrons all over the area that we hesitate to mention any one.Citizens should check the Coming Events columns for details.

Newcastle council stuck to a decision decision made by the general purpose and administration committee last week. At that time, the committee recommended recommended that the application be denied without prejudice. Last week councillors concluded that they didn't want to approve any further development in the Wilmot Creek Community until the legal dispute dispute in the area had been resolved.

Monday night, Newcastle Council approved the request for a guard after hearing a delegation discuss the need for supervision in the area. The Town's by-law enforcement officer, Brian Irwin, had undertaken a study of the intersection in question on October 4 and 5. His findings indicated that the area did not need an adult crossing guard at this time. But the general purpose and ad- Turn to Page 2 based on planning issues only. He said Ridge Pine had been working working with the Town of Newcastle for 15 years and that the company had lived up to all of the items in its development development plan. He said he thought Wilmot Creek had become a beautiful place. Mr. Rice added that he was willing to have the application tabled until he was in a position to answer the questions questions council has regarding the area'. The legal position Ridge Pine presently presently is in, he says, prevents him from discussing it right now. Councillor Diane Hamre put a motion motion forward to have the matter referred referred back to staff to be tabled until the legal matter had been resolved. She said Mr. Rice's request was fair and that the opposition to the application application arose out of the case in legal proceedings right now. She concluded that the Wilmot ' Creek Homeowners' Association had sent council letters supporting the application. application. Councillor Ann Cowman said she supported the motion, saying "a messy Ontario Municipal Board hearing" could arise if tne application application were denied before planning staff had a chance to review additional additional information on thë matter. The motion was lost, however, by a vote of 5-2. Council then passed the recoml- mendation of the planning committee to deny without prejudice the application application of Ridge Pine.

Mr. Caruana said the roof is leaking leaking in a number of places in the arena arena but primarily at the flat section. The cost to repair the roof is $82,200. Councillor Ann Cowman said she had difficulty supporting this recommendation, recommendation, adding that the engineer's engineer's report had never been brought to council. Councillor Arnot Wotteri said he was "concerned" that the roof will only be guaranteed by the company for two years. Mr. Caruana replied that the two- year warranty is on materials.
