Councillors Quash Gas Bar Proposal Clarington councillors will not approve a gas bar and a kiosk on the north- cast corner of Courticc Road and Bloor Street. The gas bar would have been north of Ebenezer Church. On Monday night, Oct. 27, Andrew Berk, the son of the applicant seeking a rezoning of the property, told councillors there arc a number of reasons why the development should happen. happen. Berk said the increase in the population necessitated necessitated the move, as did the fact that the closest gas stations arc cither five or seven kilometres away. He said it is more convenient convenient for people to get gasoline on their way home, using Courticc Road, than to travel to Bowmanville or to Hwy 2 in Courticc's west end. He concurred with staff in noting the property is zoned agricultural. But, he observed: "we're only asking asking to use 3.653 acres." Berk also staled: "This is zoned general agricultural. agricultural. It's given a lower priority than prime agri cultural land.' He also pointed out the fact that last week's report to councillors from the Planning Department did not mention a petition signed by about 70 local residents who support the development. Berk noted the need is there, and will continue to grow. Elisha's Nail Boutique Have you ever wanted beautiful long nails? $37°° £ 0J . a natura | looking set of acrylic nails.

That's what Clarington's mayor sees in the reduction of funding for the province-wide District Health Councils. Councillors debated on Wednesday, Oct. 22, the _ idea; of amalgamating the Durham District Health Council with the one in York Region. The councillors councillors suggested this amalgamation amalgamation was preferred over amalgamation with Peterborough's Health Council. Mayor Diane Hamre told Durham Region councillors "we've always been opposed to the Health Councils. This could be the provincial government's first step in withdrawing funding." Instead of looking at the issue as a continuation of the Health Councils, Mayor Hamre noted, "every single government has refused to abolish them." Mayor Hamre speculated speculated that this could be one way the Harris government government is working on cutting cutting the Councils down and out. Other speakers on the issue brought forward thoughts that, while they don't support the idea of District Health Councils, they do not want a Health Council affiliation with Peterborough "where decisions would be made by those who do not know the area," said Whitby Mayor Tom Edwards. • Dr. Kyle, the region's medical officer of health, noted, "the province of Ontario is reducing the number of Health Councils." All those who spoke on the matter agreed that the Health Council's amalgamation amalgamation with York Region was preferred over Peterborough because York Region is so much more like Durham than Peterborough. As Pickering Councillor Maurice Brenner put it, "the catchment catchment area of Durham Region has a greater commonality commonality with York Region than with Peterborough. They're not in touch with us. They don't represent us, and they have no idea what's going on in Ajax, Pickering or wherever." In a recorded vote, 25 councillors agreed with the amalgamation with York over Peterborough. Five councillors voted in the negative, while two councillors were absent from the vote, •All prices marked on windows • GM Employees eligible for additional discounts • Prices include freight, all factory and dealer dtecounts.
