Newcastle by Angela Peck Age 12, Bowmanville Senior Public School The world today is full of hate, Full of violence, full of fears. As I hear the news the reporter tells, I can't hold back the tears. He tells of all the wrong being done, All the pain and suffering too. He sits in his chair and asks us; "What we think, we should do?" The reporter's news, it scared me, It gave me quite a shock. But I think, "If we believe in God, He'll be our solid rock." A rock, that throughout the ages, Will be there for us to cling. My reaction to this good news, I'll praise my God and sing!

A report from the municipality's municipality's planning director states that, according to the responses of a survey, 259 non-profit housing units are needed. They should consist of 75 rent- geared-to-income units and 184 market rent units. The survey was in response response to a provincial policy ' statement on land use planning planning for housing. Under that policy, a Municipal Municipal Housing Statement was initiated with its purpose purpose being to analyze "the local housing market and to develop a housing strategy to meet local needs." A mandatory requirement requirement is an Assisted Housing Survey. In the survey, 1,251 households were included. A response rate of 37.9 percent was reported. The report indicates that a total of 120 households had an interest in non-profit housing. In addition, the survey pointed out a need for seniors' seniors' units, family units and a limited need for singles and childless couples' accommodation. accommodation. The preferred location for the housing is in Bowmanville. Bowmanville. Planning Director Frank Wu noted in his report on the survey that there is a weakness in the study because because those with the greatest greatest need are likely missed in the survey methods set out by the Ministry of Housing. ms. Mayor Marie Hubbard "In many cases, those persons would be living in illegal illegal accessory units, possibly possibly basement apartments, for example, and therefore not listed in the assessment rolls," he wrote, lyc said she thought the report was good ana was "glad to see it here." Councillor Diane Hamre, who is chairman of the Durham Durham Region Non-Profit Housing Corporation, said y------ she was concerned that not- all people who need housing could respond. She mentioned that after; she had been quoted in the press as saying some of the; apartments currently for' rent in the municipalities are "dumps", a letter came across her desk. The letter wasn't signed, but the person writing said "Dear Diane: On my pension of $550 a month I can't even afford a dump."
