One of the concerns of the residents is that children might stray onto the railroad railroad tracks, since there is no barrier to prevent them from doing so. In addition, many homeowners are in the process of fencing their yards but do not know exactly exactly where to end the fence because because the railway barrier is not yet in place. Mr. O'Donnell said that the homes have been occupied occupied for about one and one- half years and the residents feel that it's time the fence was installed. Although no one knows exactly why the fence has not yet been erected, it is apparently apparently not the builder of the homes who is responsible. responsible. Mr. O'Donnell says that it's up to the original subdivider subdivider of the property and the municipality to have the fence installed. To date, he has not received received word of when the work will proceed. The issue is further complicated complicated by the fact that the earth barrier built to the rear of the homes does not appear to be in the location required by the subdivision agreement and will have to be moved, Mr. O'Donnell says. Residents are backing their requests for adequate fencing with a petition which will be submitted to the town hall. From Page walk down the newly-sloped lot and would be in "no danger." The material which is still on the site has only been moved around, said Len Creamer, the Senior By-Law Enforcement Enforcement Officer with the Town of Newcastle. In addressing the issue, Mr. Hill told the committee a title search has shown that the "true" owners of the Bowmanville Town Centre Corporation Corporation are Jayson Schwarz and his wife, Debra. "It is critical to this issue that Mr. and Mrs. Schwarz be found liable," said Mr. Hill. "Jayson and his wife are the only ones listed as the directors and officers of the corporation." Mr. Schwarz's wife, Mr. Hill added, "should have availed herself to make sure the property was safe." And the safety of the lot is a factor, Maurice Preston told the gathering One when the floor was opened up to the public. "I have a property at 55 Temperance Temperance Street," Mr. Preston said. "My tenants are coming to me wondering what will be done with the material near the fence. "I don't see why the Town should be responsible for the clean-up," he added. added. Mr. Preston referred to a recommendation recommendation by the Town's General Purpose and Administration Committee, Committee, whereby the town would clean up the site and the developer would be billed the cost. "I don't want the taxpayers to be liable," liable," Mr. Preston said. After the committee declared Mr. Schwarz the owner, he told The Statesman; "I still believe, for what I wanted to put here, the Temperance Street location is the best place." Wolves Attacking Local Flocks The Red Cross held its quarterly clinic at the Bowmanville Lions Centre last Wednesday, August 14. A total of 338 units of blood were donated. That's a slight increase over last year's August statistics, and donors are to be commended for making the effort to give blood during the summer. In this photo, four-year-old Katherine Bellman waits for her mom, Johanna Bellman, to complete her turn as a blood donor. She especially enjoyed the Red Cross balloon she received at the clinic. The next clinic will take place November 6. by Mei-Lin Stichbury Hundreds of sheep and cattle are slaughtered every summer by wolves, and it doesn't seem like there's much farmers can do about it. It's an ongoing problem in outlying areas of the Gan- araska, Orono and Clarke, said agricultural representative representative for Durham East, John Finlay. From January 1 to July 19, the Town of Newcastle paid out $9,578 for 29 claims of wolf damage. Lost and Found From Page One of his or her animals, the owner must pay the pound keeper for the upkeep of the livestock. If an owner doesn't pay. then the Town does. But, the owner doesn't get the animals back. "Property taken as evidence can be returned to owner," said Sgt. Forgette. However, owners can get the item back if photographs can be taken of the item and these photographs can be introduced as evidence during a trial. Items not claimed are usually given back to finders. "It is most refreshing to see a child bringing in found money," said Sgt. Forgette. "It is nice to see that happen in this cynical world." And sometimes the finders actually get to keep the money. That occurs if Farms, nestled among trees and bushes, are particular particular targets, he added. What makes the situation situation worse, is that wolves are protected. "There's no bounty on wolves. It's not like there's just one or two wolves. There's a lot of them," said Mr. Finlay. Wolves have been known to slaughter up to 15 percent percent of one flock of sheep, according according to Mr. Finlay. Young calves are also the targets of wolves, but sheep are susceptible whether they are immature or full grown. And losing livestock is expensive. expensive. One calf is worth $500- $600. Moreover, the killing occurs occurs at night, when fanners are helpless to prevent their animals from being slaughtered. slaughtered. "There isn't much they can do unless they stay up all night with a shotgun, said Mr. Finlay. Mr. Finlay suggested the only precaution farmers can take is to keep animals overnight overnight in the barn. Waiting for Prime Minister From Page One 90 days have elapsed and no one has claimed the money. "It is nice to see children get it (found money) back -- it reinforces honesty," he added. Some of the stranger items to have made their way into the police lost and found storeroom are a cement statue of a jockey, a beaver trap and a car hood. To help keep the storage room of the 16th Division clean, the officers send found properties to 17th Division in Oshawa. Properties kept at 17th Division are "purged" twice a year, depending on their status, at auctions. The largest item Sgt. Forgette has seen as a found property is a boat. The smallest are diamond stud earrings. trusted the government due to run-ms before. Those run-ins 'Tiave severely damaged my trust placed in it." "Maybe Mr. Mulroney just doesn't know we exist," he said. However, with help from colleagues with The Port . Granby Newcastle Environment Committee, he hopes to receive his letter letter from the Prime Minister. Since beginning his vigil on Sunday, he has been able to talk with a number number of people about the Port Granby Low-Level Radioactive Waste Dump. Many people who live in the area have the same frustrations as Mr. Veldhuis. These people, he said, have stopped and discussed the problems with him. "We want to know when or whether the whole thing will be cleaned out, moved or whatever. Once we know, we will need to look at it in a proper form." The Port Granby site contains waste from the Eldorado Nuclear Ltd. uranium refining operation. The ravines, ravines, where the material was dumped, are within close proximity to Lake Ontario. The company began putting the low-level nuclear waste at this location in 1954. Early in 1991, an "Opting for Cooperation Cooperation Siting Task Force" had completed completed the third of five phases looking into the problem. At this time there is no permanent safe site for the storage of the nuclear wastes held at the Port Granby site. Mr. Veldhuis wants to see the Fourth Phase set into motion as soon as possible so that a site can be found. DUNN'S DEMOLITION SALE in the OSHAWA SHOPPING CENTRE
