Forrester Advertising Manager - Rick Paterson A LOGICAL CONCLUSION A logical agreement has been reached between the Ombudsman for Ontario, Arthur Mâloney and Housing Minister John Rhodes has been reached, and this apparebtly over a dinner meeting, The solution is simple and one which could have been reached sometime ago without all the political haggling. The issue arose when the Ombudsman claimed there were 44 lamdowners in North Pickering wt>o had sold their properties to provincial land agents after those agents used misleading tactics and intimidation to pursued them to sell. If the claim is true it couid be a costly matter for the provincial both in votes and in funds. It could also open the door for other to also claim mis justice and make further claims. The report by the Ombudsman is a serious report and should not be taken lightly. . The Minister of Housing laid his objection to the fact :hat evidence was not taken under oath and that it should lave been. On this he is on sound grounds for if the claims are true it could reach more than the 44 and could cost the Government and people of Ontario millions of dollars. The Minister was right in insisting that evidence be taken under oath before restitution is made, if any, by the Province. The fact that a commission is to be set-up by the province to hear the complaints of the 44 under oath should be a welcomed solution to the case.

It was also pointed out that the Board could make use of the pool for its programs during the day while under agreement the community could make use of the facilities mainly during the evenings. The Town would be expected to operate the pool once the complex was in operation. Councilior Allin said he z concurred with the recommendation recommendation of the SPLASH group and that council should give their approval. Counc. Lyall seconded the motion stating it was a worthwhile project, one not costing the Town any great amount and that it should be proceeded with. Counc. Cowman stated that it would not cost the Town any money for construction but that there would be operation costs to be carried on in the future and felt a further look into this aspect should be considered. Counc. Entwisle was of a like opinion and referred to the great increase in taxtion especially ' in the - former Clarke Township. He also pointed out that he was not opposed to the project but felt that council was rushing into giving their blessing without due consideration. He said he would like to have a report from the Town's Recreation Recreation staff before giving approval from council. Mr. Fanning said he could bring in a report but did feel that it was time the Town had an inside pool of its own, Mrs. Rundle said it had been estimated that it would cost the Town some $30,000 a year to operate less revenue. Counc. Cowman said thatlhis would be doubled with the portion to be carried by the school board in the operation. A motion to table the approval by Counc. Entwisle and Cowan until a report was received was lost. Mayor Rickard gave his support to the project stating that he was pleased to see the outside interest in the project and the work they were willing to undertake to have it completed. He-also noted the intented increase of population population in Bowmanville and felt that the cost of operating, would be modest. Letter to the* Editor Concerning the Newcastle - Community Hall Board. It has been brought to my attention that a story is going the rounds of the former Village of Newcastle and district that "Councillor Ken Lyall has resigned from the Newcastle Community Hall Board. Before the story goes any further and is embellished any further I would like to comment on the subject. I, as a Town Councillor, was appointed to the Newcastle Community Hall Board as a Town representative. Since that time, while attending Hall Board meetings, ! have been dismayed to discover when Hall Board accounts were being discussed, that Community Hall Board members members are paid moneys out of Hall Board funds for work done by these members in the Hall beyond their Hall Board duties. This work consists of main- tence work and supervising duties. It is my opinion that this work should be done by non-Board members. • Not knowing what the legal or moral position was of Hall Board members taking mon- '■Flowers with Feeling" For Any Occasion Tel. 623-3377 ' OPEN ALL DAY WEDNESDAY ?

September 27th. , "lie it resolved that the Newcastle Community Hall , Board seeks legal advice as to the legal position of members of the Newcastle Community Hall Board with regards to possible conflict of interest when members receive pay for work done on behalf of the Board beyond Hall Board duties," No member of the Board would second the motion so the motion died with no action being taken. In view of this non-action, I stated that I would not attend any future meetings of the Board as a Town Council appointee as I did not wish to be party to any questionable actions by the Board. It is my intention to report the details of this situation at a meeting of the Newcastle Town Council who holds jurisdiction over the, Newcastle Newcastle Community Hall! Kenneth E.
