6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, January 6,1993 Mayor and Councillors Welcome Guests to Annual Levee Opinion and Comments Newcastle Mayor Diane Hamre and many of Newcastle's town councillors were on hand to greet residents residents at the Mayor's Levee held Sunday, January 3. Shown above, from left, are: Councillors Larry Hannah, Hannah, David Scott, Ann Dreslinski and Ken Hooper as well as Mayor Hamre. The levee took place in the council chambers of the Municipal Administrative Centre. Laura Richards The two-dock industrial port, as the St. Marys Cement facility would , be known, would serve as a regional commercial port facility. Within the report by the Town of Newcastle's Planning Department it is stated: ' "It is obvious that the dock is being considered as a regional commercial docking facility by the 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 Official Plan amendment and zoning zoning by-law amendment." Doesn't that make you wonder about who will benefit from building From Page 4 of a second dock? -- Oshawa, perhaps perhaps or the Durham Region in which we reside. If the second dock is built, that means the annual tonnage to be handled handled will increase to 1,027,000 from 119,000 without any allowances for salt (for the regional works department) department) or other non-St. Marys Cement materials. Also, the second dock will be built with the same materials as the first. That means the material must come from somewhere. Cedar Crest Beach Road and Cove Road residents are worried that the materials just might be quarried from the Westside Creek Marsh which car ries a Provincial Class Two Wetland designation. The quarrying of that marsh would affect about 100 area residents and the wildlife that make the marsh home. The Town though is situated between between a rock and a hard place. St. Marys is among town's largest employers and it brings in a heck of a lot of tax dollars. However, the land scheduled to be quarried is protected. But, that protection is pre-dated by the larger scheme to quarry the property. If you want to have further information information on the proposal for a second dock at the St. Marys site, give the town's planning department a call. CLUES ACROSS 1. Tendon 5. Flinch 8. Uneven 9.
