< < 6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, February 9,1994 Section Two Sunflower Artists Bring Touch of Summer to Town Hall Foyer For YOUX Information Artists Margaret Rodgers and Jane Dixon have joined forces to present this month's exhibit in the Clarington Municipal Administration Building. The Sunflower Show, as they have entitled it, includes a number of mono-prints, water color, multi-media, acrylic, and oil paintings depicting sunflowers. In their first show together, the pair has chosen work which best represents the summer sunshine flower. Perhaps the paintings will get viewers to think about the spring and summer months ahead. Be sure to check out the exhibit the next time you are at the town hall, you'll be happier for it. Letter to the Editor Clarington Needs Environment Committee Dear Editor: This letter refers to your editorial, Environmental Committee Not Needed Needed in Clarington, in the January 26th issue of The Canadian Statesman. I am especially concerned with what I feel is the implication that those citizens citizens who are concerned about the environment environment constitute a "special interest interest group". In the Clarington Official, Plan Review Newsletter No. 3, published published in July, there was a list of the top 10 planning priorities for this municipality municipality as chosen by its citizens. The second and third priorities, respectively, respectively, were "preservation of the natural environment" and "preservation "preservation of the agricultural areas". Only "more employment opportunities" was listed higher and, in our present economic climate, this could hardly be otherwise. I believe that grassroots committees committees are invaluable, but when working working along they can only present a fragmented approach to what should be a cohesive whole. Every environmentally environmentally significant area in Clarington Clarington will not have a local protest committee committee to protect it. By having access to the information an environmental committee would provide, Council would be in a better position to make sound decisions. You mention that the environmental environmental movement is very diverse and embraces embraces different concerns. However, the common denominator is the conviction conviction that our area should possess clean air, soil, and water through proper disposal of waste and toxic materials, retain ecosystems and other other significant natural habitat, and provide provide opportunity for our young people people to know and appreciate nature. Yours sincerely, Esther C. Allin Newcastle.
