l Boosters Say Thanks From Page One sort development named Newcastle-on-the-Lake. We remain convinced that the increasing use of the term Newcastle to describe describe our 200-square mile municipality will erode the identity of all individual communities within its borders. As the largest of these, it might b,e argued that Bowman- ville has the most to lose in this respect. We have already seen the Bowmanville Bowmanville Library named the Newcastle Library (Bowmanville Branch). The Splash Fitness Centre Centre has been called the Newcastle Fitness Centré. Centré. At least one new subdivision subdivision in Bowmanville is called Newcastle Gardens. Gardens. And, as mentioned éarlier, the proposed report report development for Bowman ville's lakefront is called Newcastle-on- the-Lake. We realize that Bowmanville's identity is pot in danger of disappearing disappearing next week or next year. But, Under the Town of Newcastle monicker, monicker, you may rest assured assured that this identity will diminish as the word Newcastle is used to de- ■ scribe the geographical location of practically everything east of the Oshawa Townline and west of Newtonville. In the past, the name Bowmanville has frequently frequently disappeared from new editions of roadmaps. roadmaps. And it's only been due to the vigilance of .those who support the name that it has been kept on these maps. At Monday's Council meeting, it was mentioned mentioned that there are communities within Oshawa and Whitby, Pickering and Scugog which keep their individual individual names in spite of the name of the area municipality municipality in which they are located. That's fine. But it should also be noted that in none of these places places are there two Oshawas or two Whitbys which double the-possible confusion. confusion. Business people visitors visitors to the town and strangers, find the name Town of Newcastle very curious to say the lest. Lest there be any confusion confusion over our position on this issue, let us briefly briefly sum up the viewpoints which we hold. Firstly, be believe that the town's current name is inappropriate and needs to be changed. We find no fault with changing changing the name to Bowmanville. Bowmanville.

Michael, M.C.I.P. Commissioner of Planning democratic society and if the name Town of Bowmanville Bowmanville were deemed inappropriate, inappropriate, another alternative alternative would be acceptable so long as it eased the confusion. Moreover, we suggest that the name "Town" is unwise and should be replaced replaced with some other word that denotes the vast geographic area which makes up our municipality. municipality. After all, most of us think of a town as an urban area whereas Newcastle is (geographically (geographically speaking) predominantly predominantly rural. The name District or Area or Municipality Municipality or Township would all be preferable to Town. And finally, let us add that we object strongly to this ongoing attempt to force big city government down the throats of the ratepayers of this municipality. municipality. We are not one big city. We are a municipality municipality of several dozen vigorous vigorous communities. If our Town Council insists on calling this municipality Newcastle, at least the name should be kept as low-key as possible so that the individual communities communities of this town can all maintain their identity. identity. Perhaps the town's insistence insistence on promoting the namè Newcastle is well- motivated or perhaps it is merely driven by delusions delusions of grandeur. But, for whatever reason, the powers-that-be at the Town Hall seem to insist on seeing the municipality municipality as a single large city of 42,000 rather than as a cluster of fully-fledged communities. Communities such as Bowmanville which once had their own political identity, see red whenever whenever this new Newcastle identity is forced upon them by a municipality which appears to care little little for the hamlets and villages and is insistent upon carving out a big- city identity. , " ? We might warn council that with this big-city status goes big city taxes, big city debts, bit city traffic, big city apathy, and big city crime. And it's even more difficult difficult to accept an identity identity as part of a big municipality municipality when the new name for that municipality municipality is illogical, and confusing. confusing. At this point, all we can say is that the battle is not yet over. We are convinced that our concerns concerns are justified and should not have been passed over as lightly as they were at the February February 26 Council session. I am very disappointed, disappointed, to say the least, but I don't think we lost. We are still Bowmanville. It is Council that lost because because there will be another another election and the voters will remember. Louise Lyle, Bowmanville Boosters KPE KIRBY POWER EQUIPMENT LTD.

We should not feel relief that the latest budget, didn't increase taxes. Mr. Mulroney's Mulroney's government has increased increased taxes 33 times in the past five years! It's high time the line was held on taxes. In fact, taxes have probably probably been increased indirectly indirectly by foisting part of the tax burden onto the provinces. We're the people who get taxed in the end, whether the hand in our pocket comes from the federal or provincial governments. Mr. Mulroney's government government should have lea by example example by ending the unlimited unlimited indexing of pensions for MPs and federal civil servants. servants. It should have stopped wasting billions of our tax dollars on foreign governments and thousands of special interest groups. The temporary, illusory or one-time cuts that are in the budget will not affect the structure of government overspending. Privatizing Petro-Can was a welcome move but the government should have gone even further and sold off other Crown Corporations Corporations like the CBC and Canada Canada Post. Finally, the budget did- not respond to the ovrr? whelming opposition to th> Goods and Services Tax. In? stead of imposing this tax on- Canadians, the government should held a national referendum referendum on the issue. Mr. Mulroney's government government had yet another opportunity opportunity in this budget to set our country on a healthy course. Tragically, the prime minister lacked either the vision or the courage to do so. We are all the losers for it. ; • Yours truly,! David Somerville President.
