Only minutes before addressing council she received received a call from the Oshawa Mother's Allowance office informing her that they had decided to provide her with the money.

Committee Gives Approval To Kendal Estate Houses : land under development or redevelopment be conveyed to the town for park and other other recreational purposes, the by-law now calls for one hectare hectare (2.2 acres) of such land for every 300 housing units constructed. A staff report indicates that the shift in policy is necessary because of the increasing increasing density of developments developments particularly in downtown downtown Bowmanville. In areas of greater density, the five percent quota is woefully insufficient insufficient for the number of people expected to live in the area. The Community Services Department currently is studying the lack of park space in the Bowmanville downtown area. Graduate An issue which reportedly has pitted pitted neighbour against neighbour in the Kendal area was resolved Monday by a committee of Newcastle council. By a 4-2 margin, the General Purpose Purpose and Administration Committee voted to allow the development of 14 estate-residential homes east of the Oshawa Ski Club. The 15.2 hectare piece of land is on the northwest corner corner of Regional Road Nine and Car- scadden Road. On Monday, numerous delegations urged councillors to reject the advice of town staff and turn down the development development proposed by Bill Reid and James Reynaert. Oshawa Ski Club president Charlie Morison complained that, "the staff report was one-sided and ignores the concerns of the club." Katherine Guselle, president of Save The Ganaraska Again (SAGA), warned that the development "would inexorably change the face of the valley." valley." She said that Newcastle councillors councillors would be hearing much more from her group in the coming months. The preservation of the Ganaraska Forest area would be a feather in the cap of Newcastle, according to Julian . Rowan. "It would be a first in Ontario," Ontario," he said. Applicant Bill Reid suggested that, "the question is whether 14 homes are an environmental threat to the Ganaraska Ganaraska Forest. Every agency said no. The Ministry of the Environment says no. The minister himself says no. Professional Professional planners have found no reason reason to refuse it." A letter from Ontario Minister of the Environment, Jim Bradley, denied a request by some residents for a full environmental impact study. His letter letter stated "the potential environmental environmental impacts are not significant enough. Councillor Diane Hamre spoke for nearly 20 minutes, explaining how divisive divisive the issue has been for area residents. residents. "I know I'm going to lose a lot of voter support today," she acknowledged, acknowledged, "but in my opinion there is no , good reason to deny this application." 'This is the perfect size development development if we're going to start estate- residential development in the area." Councillor Frank Stapleton also, supported the development but lamented lamented that fact that, "some neighbours neighbours now can't speak to each other or do business with each other because of this issue. I sat down with the plan-, ning director (Frank Wu) and he told, me that they (the developer) would win an OMB (Ontario Municipal Board) heariner hands down." Councillor Pat Deegan voted against the development, commenting that it "has been the hottest item we've had since I've been on council. I've changed my mind back and forth on this." Councillor Deegan was elected elected to council in November of 1988. The only other vote against the development development was that of Councillor Ken Hooper Hooper who often suggests a temporary freeze on residential development across the town. The committee's decision now awaits approval by council Monday evening.
