2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, January 6,1993 --Week in Review-- Warm Welcome for New Year's Baby More Info Needed for Extension to St. Marys Docking Facility From Page One asked for public input. The dock expansion, which had the previous council's approval, is not looked upon favorably by the council elected in November 1991, especially since various pieces of information information are missing. Currently, the town is looking for information about impacts on the local local environment including the West Creek Marsh and the Bowmanville Third Marsh (Raby Head). The municipality municipality is also seeking information information on the effects of the dock upon wildlife, the needs for an enlarged dock as well as the volume of commercial commercial port activities. The town is also wondering how increased traffic will affect nearby residents, including those whose properties suffer from lakeshore erosion erosion problems. Last, but not least, are the town's concerns over the conservation of archeological resources and a compensation compensation proposal from die loss of fisheries habitat. Within the staff report it is noted that human remains from a First Nations Nations community have been located in at least one site within the property property boundaries of die St. Marys Cement Cement property. "Archeological resources are considered to be a matter of provincial provincial interest," states the report. The information of human remains remains came from material from one of the many government agencies contacted in regards to odier reports, Mr. Wu said. The report from the town's Planning Planning Department suggests die company company is looking to expand not only their docking facility but also its quarrying. "In 1989, St. Marys Cement announced announced a $180 million expansion to the Bowmanville plant. The expansion expansion would accommodate an increased increased production limit from 1,814,000 metric tonnes annually (2,000 metric tonnes to 5,000 metric tonnes per day)," states the Planning Department report. The dock expansion could be directly directly related to die expansion of quarrying in the marsh, which is "licensed "licensed for extraction and forms Phase III of the extraction plans, the timing of which is unknown," the Planning Department staff added. However, due to rulings made before, the Town of Newcastle docs not have the final say on this matter. "The Town's approval is one of four levels: the federal government, the provincial government, the region region and the town," Mr. Wu noted. Within the 1991 Regional Official Official Plan, St, Marys Cement is permitted permitted their commercial docking facility. facility. "However, the Town has yet to render its decision on the proposed dock expansion despite recognition of such in the 1991 Durham Plan," slates die report. In looking to the future, staff have pointed out that the expansion of the dock could lead to the crea- don of a deep water commercial docking facility. "A Waterfront Secondary Plan prepared by the City of Oshawa, has recently been completed. The City Council requested the Region of Durham to undertake appropriate initiatives initiatives and investigations to secure an alternative industrial port facility in die region to accommodate existing existing and future port related industrial uses from the Oshawa Harbor," said the report from planning staff. "It is obvious dial the dock is being being considerbd as a regional commercial commercial docking facility by the Region Region and the City of Oshawa although there is no documentation to justify the need, at this time, nor was such a use indicated in the St. Marys Cement application for an Official Plan amendment and Zoning Zoning by-law amendment." Although Mr. Wu would not commit himself to saying that a deep water docking facility is in the town's future, he did not rule out the possibility. He did go on record as saying that die dock would be used by in dustries and commercial businesses within the Durham Region. If such a facility is in the town's future, then the planning department is concerned with the port's impact on the town's two waterfront plans. The planned five-year dock expansion expansion will be created by the construction construction of a stone berm around the perimeter of a water lot bought in 1989. A stone berm will be built from stone within the perimeter of the dock. The stone and cardi infill will be supplied from the ground removed removed from quarry expansion areas. The company will also be constructing constructing a landscape berm along the east side of the existing dock to buffer buffer the residents to the east from die activities on the dock. St. Marys Cement Corporation needs the approval from die Navigable Navigable Waters Protection Act, the Environmental Environmental Assessment and Review Process, the Fisheries Act at the Federal government level. From die province, die corporation corporation needs approvals from the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act; Public Public Lands Act; Guidelines for Open Water Disposal, Environmental Protection Protection Act; Ontario Water Resources Resources Act; and the Planning Act.

Baby Catherine came into the world at 1:31 a.m. on January 3rd, nine days earlier than expected, but an hour too late to claim Memorial's official official "First 1993 Baby" title. Catherine Alexandria is certainly in good hands; both her parents work for the Metro Toronto Police Force.

Richards A Martin Road resident docs not want to see the back end of a commercial commercial building from her property. Ieka Vandcrkooi told the Town of Newcastle's General Purpose and Administration Administration Committee on Monday, Jan. 4, that the proposed commercial building ought not to be more than a couple of storeys high. "I live right across from the location," location," she told GP&A members. The proposed retail, office, and day care facility would be located about one kilometre south of Highway Two, just west of Martin Rd. Because of her home's close proximity proximity to the commercial site, she also wants the building to have "a privacy fence that looks neat." Also, Ms Vandcrkooi does not want to see the building have access to Regional Road 57. However, Kelvin Whalen a representative representative of Mariir, ,,Road Holdings, told- the town's committee, lie has spoken with the Durham Regional Works Department regarding access to Regional Road 57. "We have been able to demonstrate technical access to Highway 57 to the Regional Works Department," Mr. Whalen said. Within the Planning Department staff report the only access to the building is from Hartwell Avenue. That would mean that the back of the building would face Martin Road. However, if the building were allowed access to Martin Road., Mr. Whelan said the front of the structure would face Martin Road. | Don't Miss a Single Issue Catch all the news, sports and advertising that make up our community. nt ii/orcitv ^ ► Trent University at Durham College Spring Session: 1 February-27 April Introductory courses are offered two evenings per week (Mon/Wcd or TuesfThurs): , • English nh: Studies in Ifnglish drâTna • History 120; West European history • Psychology 101; Intro to psychology • Sociology 100: Intro to social analysis For information or a brochure call (416) 723-9747 or (705) 748-1229.

The goals of such a plan would be economic prosperity, encouraging opportunities opportunities for challenging careers, and providing for a sccùre and safe environment. "We need to stop orienting policies to big business and big governments. We need to foster a genuine system of federal government loan guarantees to small business. It is the small business environment which is going to be our future employers, people searching for a niche in the global environment," he states. "The $70 million loan guarantee to PWA would represent 3500 small . business loans at $20,000 each. This would be more beneficial for employment employment and technological advancement. Ideally, there would be no cost involved involved in this for the federal government. government. I am not talking about a giveaway giveaway program; these businesses would have to have a plan consistent with our goals and the ability to achieve these goals. "For instance, involvement with waste management and other forms of environmental technology arc just some of the areas where Canada, and Durham specifically, could become world leaders. Currently, our banking system is lending to the federal government government to support its deficit as opposed opposed to lending to small business. This is wrong," he said. He feels that Durham was totally unprepared for the effects of free trade. "We should have taken more time to negotiate a better deal. More importantly, importantly, we should have adjusted our educational and training sectors first, in order to cushion the effect of job dislocation. We are still training people people for jobs that no longer exist." He adds that the extension of tins current free trade agreement, to include include Mexico, must lie stopped until Canada is certain of the economic implications. implications. Mr. Shepherd views the deficit as a national disgrace. He recommends a rapid scale-down in the size of the government, and lie prescribes a consolidation consolidation of existing bureaucracies, January Clearance Sale Great Prices On (ILL Stock No Payments Or Interest for 90 Days!
