He suggested approaching Newcastle Newcastle Council now to ask them what their thoughts are concerning development development in tne area or requesting that Council create a guideline for rural development. development. Kathy Guselle, another organizer of the information meeting, mentioned that the Region of Durham has plans to review the Durham Regional Official Official Plan. She suggested that now is a good time for the public to make their views known regarding development in the Ganaraska Forest area. She also discussed the Town of Newcastle's Official Plan policy for the hamlets of Kirby and Kendal. She noted noted that the Town doesn't have any development development plans for either village. Councillor Hamre explained that the areas aren't on the list because no one has thought about developing those areas. Where Were You When... Bowmanville downtown businesses and residents were scrambling for candles candles and flashlights at lunch time on Monday when the electricity went off for nearly an hour. Stoplights along King Street were affected, creating congestion at some downtown intersections. Some businesses businesses closed, while others operated without the help of electric cash registers registers and other equipment. At the post office, postal workers had to use an old balance scale in lieu of the more sophisticated electric version. version. Bud Moore, of Newcastle Hydro, reported reported that the blackout occurred when an insulator on the supply line into the Temperance Street substation failed. Workers had to reroute the power supply through other substations substations and then repair the failed insulator. insulator. He said that the time of the outage varied, but ranged from 30 minutes to a full hour. The area affected was centred centred around the downtown.

Ontario Hydro is currently negotiating negotiating with the supplier to pay for the machinery in need of replacement. Bowmanville resident Amy Tait marked her 100th birthday on Saturday, February February 11, with a party held at the auditorium of Strathaven/Strathmanor. The party was given with the assistance of Mrs. Tait's friends from the Beehive Rebekan Lodge who were among the many visitors on hand to help her celebrate the day. Amy Tait was born in England in North Shields, near Newcastle-on-Tyne, in 1889 but has lived most of her life in Bowmanville. She and her husband, Jack, were active active in the Salvation Army and later in the Trinity United Church. Mrs. Tait joined Trinity in 1937 and served as a choir member there for 42 years. She continues continues to attend Trinity United Church and her birthday did not go unnoticed by the congregation. A reception was held in her honor on Sunday, following the church service. Mrs. Tait is a former resident of Duke St., Bowmanville. Cool Reception to Laidlaw Plans From Page One date of the Open House, Mr. Scott presented Landfill Manger Don Tefft with an over-sized Valentine card expressing expressing the committee's sentiments. The card, complete complete with a black heart and a skull and crossbones, said: "We don't want a Laidlaw Valentine". Mr. Scott then proceeded to recite to the Laidlaw officials officials a poem entitled "The Creation of Dump Safety". The verses, which are based on the Robert Service Poem called "The Cremation of Sam McGee" emphasize the fact that the residents do not believe it's possible to engineer a dump site at this location which will address all of the environmental and related concerns. Laidlaw, strongly disagrees}',vith disagrees}',vith that viewpoint.! - "Iff they don't want to believe believe fin the first place, it's prettÿ hard for them to accept accept that it will be environmentally environmentally sound," said Mr. Tefft in reference to critics of the infilling plan. He added that the company company will ensure that the infilling infilling proposal is safe. Laidlaw, through its models, models, posters, and diagrams exhibited at the Open house stressed the fact that properly properly designed landfill sites containing solid, non- hazardous wastes are safe. The company spokesmen note that they have already taken steps to improve the existing operation since it by Chris Clark Newcastle regional councillors appear appear to be split over the probable effect of recent provincial legislation concerning concerning Sunday shopping. The new laws place the onus to rule on Sunday shopping squarely on the shoulders of regional government. Mayor Marie Hubbard, one of four Newcastle representatives at the region, region, calls the bill "a cop-out by the provincial government." "They should administer the Municipal Municipal Act. It looks to me as though they have shifted a hot issue to the next level of government," she observed. She predicted that there may be spinoffs at the municipal as well as tne regional level. "If the mayors are not united against open Sunday shopping, shopping, some may open their areas as tourist zones." "I am not prepared to open up everything at tnis time. It will cause difficulties for merchants. All the lobbying lobbying I have heard so far has been against Sunday shopping. I intend to talk to the BIAs in the town though," she said. Councillor Diane Hamre, often one of the mayor's closest allies on council, sees the issue entirely differently. "I really think the regional perspective is too broad. It should be dealt with on a municipal area basis," she said. She also expressed her belief that the current arrangement will bring no significant change to Newcastle. She commented that she hadn't had any pressure for wide open Sunday shopping. Councillor Ken Hooper was somewhat somewhat more philosophical when asked about the issue. "There are too many people in this world télling us what to do. What you do on Sunday is your business. I don't get too excited when people shop." "If you own a store you can open when you want. If no one patronizes it, then you won't be open very long." "If we're talking about having free time on Sunday to go to church, then why don't we shut down the factories and sporting events which are run just to make money?" Durham Region Chairman Gary Herrema has pledged that Sunday shopping will not be coming to Durham Durham if he can do anything about it. Councillor Eases Kendal Concerns From Page One it is now." Speaking in favour of the motion, Councillor Frank Stapleton said that he is not hoping to impede anyone's plans. "But there is a lack of information information about what effect development- will have on the area." Mayor Hubbard spoke with emotion about the issue, praising the town's planning and engineering staff. "I have learned that the process works," she said. "Who buys and sells land is not our, responsibility. When an application is made we respond and we do it well. We do have to consider planning because because what are we going to do for schools? Are we going to keep hammering hammering in residential units or are we going to live within the official plan?", she questioned. Regional council will have to agree to conduct the study, but Councillor Hamre summed up the mood of Newcastle Newcastle council when she urged, "let's not be reactive, but proactive." was purchased in 1987 - steps which include better coverage of any exposed waste, extensive daily cleanups, cleanups, control of leachate, improved improved landscaping, and improved improved equipment for monitoring and surveying the site. In addition, the company vows that the infilling project project will include measures which will eliminate negative negative impacts ranging from noise and traffic to gulls. For instance, research done by Laidlaw's landscape architects notes that when the site reaches capacity it will be no more than 16 metres metres higher than the present landfill mound. The south slope of the site would be planted as a pasture, while tHe northernmost slope, -leading toy the Graham. ■ Crfcak^Vvbulfi be réhabilitât- \ ed wjch treeq in order to sta- 1 bilize the creek bank.
