2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, September 11,1991 The Week in Review- Contest for Ward HI Seat David Scott has announced announced that he will be a candidate candidate for the Ward Three position position of local councillor. In explaining his decision to run for office, Mr. Scott said he became concerned when Frank Stapleton decided decided not to run for re-election in Ward Three. He stated that "Frank has served this community community well for the past six years. I respect his decision not to run this term but I hope his absence from municipal government is only temporary. temporary. I think that the next three years arc going to be a critical period for the future of Clarke Township and the Town of Newcastle." "To me, the central issue facing Clarke (Ward Three) is the quality of life in our community," he said. "Right now, we arc a rural communi- OSHAWA--Oshawa Harbor could receive a facelift and become similar to Toronto's Harborfront. Don Given, a consultant with Malone Given Parsons was hired by the city to study how, the west side of Oshawa Harbor would house an arts and crafts display area and farmers' market plus a waterpark. The study also looked at the construction of a medium-rise residential commercial development to be built at the comer of Simcoe Street and Harbor Road. The marina would be upgraded and expanded to 400 berths. There would be a hotel for the east side of the harbor and a park at the south end to replace the cement unloading operation. The hilly undeveloped area at the east end would be reserved for special future use. Mr. Given told Oshawa city councillors the plan to remove the hill and service the land for industries is uneconomical. The new plan, which would be put into place in phases, would not mean an immediate end to shipping into the harbor. *** OSHAWA--Oshawa Mayor Allan Mason has the first major challenger to his position in Nancy Diamond. Ms Diamond threw her hat into the ring on Thursday, Sept. 5. Ms Diamond has been critical of the $150 million Hilstone project and of the way the city hall is iun at the present. She contends the city council is not helping to diversify Oshawa's economic base. Councillor Diamond was first elected to council three years ago. If elected to the mayoral position, she would be the city's second female mayor. Christine Thomas served as Oshawa's mayor from 1961 to 1962. *** WHITBY--Oshawa regional councillors complained about the hours Of operation at waste transfer stations. Not only are the hours different at different locations but citizens are upset with the line-ups which have been occurring The Durham Region councillors decided on Sept. 4, to review the hours of all the transfer sites in the region. *** WHITBY-r-The Town of Whitby would like to end the sounding of locomotive whistles at highway crossings in the town. The Town's works department, in a report, says the council has passed a by-law to prohibit the whistles at Garden Street. The by-law will come into effect upon the Town's receipt of the approval of the Railway Transport Committee of the Canadian Transport Commission. Whitby council would like the Region of Durham to pass a similar by-law for the Hopkins Street crossing too. J. E. QUANTRILL CHEVROLET - OLDSMOBILE- CADILLAC LTD.

Richards Will it be a full-sized soccer field, or a mini field or no field at all? That is the question facing Hampton residents at this time. For the die-hard soccer players in the area, the full-sized soccer field is the way to go. "I fully agree with a nice playground for children and for area seniors," said Hampton resident Ron Clemens. The soccer field is known in the area, lie added, and should be kept. However, there is an opposing side to the soccer field issue. Betsy Brohart is one of the area's residents residents who would rather not sec a soccer field. She has been to the last two.meetings on the issue and feels the children of the community need more than a soccer field. "The children need a place to play," she said. "The people need an area for community people to get together." One of the four designs drafted by Henry Kortckaas and Associates includes includes a soccer field close to the present sized soccer field while others include smaller or mini versions of the soccer field in the same location. A public meeting was held last Wednesday to discuss discuss the four options. There have been six meetings, including including four public sessions, said Jim Cameron Cameron the Supervisor of operations for Community Services with the Town of Newcastle. The fourth public meeting took place on Wednesday, Sept. 5, at the Hampton Community Hall from mid afternoon to 8 p.m. During that time between 45 to 50 people showed up to discuss the four presented concepts. "We spent one of those meetings developing developing a shopping list of what people wanted in a community park," said Mr. Cameron. Some of these "wants" identified in the brain-storming session were: a seniors seniors area, a children's playground area, off-street parking, space for horticultural displays, open up some views of the abutting marsh land, change rooms, concessions, concessions, tennis courts, basketball courts and an ice rink. All these items were looked at by the designer and taken into consideration. "Conceptual plan B with the mini- soccer field was preferred by many people," people," said Henry Kortckaas. "The mini fields arc 40 by 55 metres and die existing existing field is 90 by 52 metres." The field is now situated at an angle and one comer is close to homes. This fact concerned the architect, Mr. Kortckaas, who said that the designs which centred around the larger soccer field took this into consideration.

Brake Job Needed on On Reactor Darlington Nuclear Generating Generating Station Unit One was shut down last week to allow access to the reactor vault in order to repair brakes on one of the fuelling machine bridges. Unit One had been running at or near full power for most of the week. During fuelling a brake problem was identified which must be repaired before operation can be resumed. It is expected that Unit One will start up again next week and fuelling will continue. Unit Two remains shut down. Diagnostic test results on possible reasons for the fuel damage in Unit Two arc presently presently being analysed. Units 3 and 4 are still under construction and are scheduled to be in operation in 1992 and 1993. IMPORTANT NOTICE THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY
