The local councillor for the area Mary Novak noted, "there has been a long history of these four- comers." She said the proximity of schools near such comers has been "the motivating motivating factor" to installing fourway fourway stops. Clarington Mayor Diane Hamre told council she has been on the receiving receiving end of numerous phone calls over the situation. "I know that the number of calls to my office have been great. " As an answer to remarks made earlier in the evening by Thomas Coulby of Nash Road, the mayoi noted, "We have to treat this as a unique situation." In saying that, she explained that there is a street in Whitby that she travels often and at each comer there is a four-way stop.

"At the announcement, we were told that one in three of us will be touched by cancer in our lifetime," Clarington Mayor Diane Hamre said. She said the center will ease the burden that many patients face when diagnosed with cancer. "I was at a dinner in Port Hope last week and talked with a woman. She told me about the drives back and forth to Toronto for treatment." "This centre not only affects us here in Durham Region but outside of it as well," the mayor said. She noted that Durham East, MPP Cord Mills was recognized as being one of the driving forces behind behind the campaign to get a centre in the region.

The report from the Clarington Works Department suggests a reduction reduction in die speed limit to 50 kilometres kilometres per hour from 60. Coulby noted he had a petition from area residents and a letter of intent from 16th Division Inspector Jim Adams to carry out a speed survey. survey. He added that with 100 students attending Maple Grove School there would probably never be a 100 per cent solution, but the four-way stop would give them a handle on the problem. c». ^5.1 Ê k Archibald Orchards )on't Miss our Hallowe : Saturday, Play .
