2-Oron». Weekly Times, Wednesday, November 19th, 1980 ULTRA VIRES • Mayor Rickard at Monday's council meeting was well within his rights to block a move by council to pàve the way for the passing of a rezoning by-law relating to the Ridge Pine Park proposed mobile home development on the lakeshore of the Town of Newcastle. ' Mayor Rickard used a section of the Municipal Act which prohibits councils under certain conditions to take .certain actions. The action of council on Monday certainly appears to be within the definition of one in which council should not at this time act. The action was also being taken by council without the rezoning application- going before the Planning and Development Committee and without a report from the planning staff. This is procedure other than is generally followed by council in such matters. It should now be a matter which has to be dealt with by the new council. This being the case the new council should not be tardy in coming to grips with the rezoning application or the development agreement. Although Mayor Rickard, who does object strongly to the development, has blocked this most recent move to advance the proposal it is most unlikely that the development will not proceed. The Regional Official Plan designates the land for mobile home development with this modification being made by the Ontario Municipal Board. At the time of the Board hearing it was noted that both the Town of Newcastle and the Region of Durham supported the re-designatiqn. The Ontario Provincial Cabinet has also been involved in decision making on the scheme and turned aside an appeal brought against the redesignation by the Federation of Agriculture. Councils as far back as the former Township of Clarke have given their approval and on at least two to three occasions councils of the Town of Newcastle has approved the proposal. It certainly appears that the Rice Group have enough prior approvals to be allowed to proceed or to take court action. The game is 'in- the Town of Newcastle's ball park pertaining to rezoning and the establishment of a development agreement. Both the Town and the proponents must pow negotiate in good faith. With the -Regional Official Plan recognizing the development, the Ontario Cabinet having no objection and council on a nuniber of occasions giving the nod there appears no other course than proceeding. As to the development it does appear that there are financial gains for the Town through a mobile home scheme as compared to other residential developments. Likely it does compare favourably with commercial and industrial development as all internal services are provided and maintained by the developer. Certainly this is more attractive financially than any proposal that will come out of the Courtice area where the Region has buried millions of dollars in the ground in water and sewer pipes with little hope of financial recovery over the next five to ten years. Its hard to believe that a proposal can be on the table for eight years, have continual approval and still be on the back burner. f happenings: BOOK BAZAAR , i The Orono Home and School Association are holding a Book Bazaar at the Orono School from 1:00 to 9:00 p.m. today, Wednesday, November 19th.

Sunday morning was the coldest this season, -8 degrees ' celcius in Peterborough. However the forecast is for rain next Sunday, Grey Cup day. In 1931 Grey Cup day was 66 degrees fahrenheit. There was a small choir at church on Sunday morning, seven girls of the Sunday School sang, "The old rugged cross", accompanied by Mrs. K. Wood. Rev. A. Tizzard's sermon topic was, "Love Divine". The scripture reading reading was the second epistle of John. This letter is different, from any other in the Bible because it was written to a woman, "an elect lady and her children". John expresses joy that she has found the ■ truth. He says, "I rejoice greatly that thy children arè walking in truth". He tells them to "love one another"' John speaks of God as a Father. Isaiah thought of him as a Redeemer. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the light. He that hath seen me hath seen the father". We have a loving, caring, forgiving forgiving Heavenly Father. Lead us to our heavenly rest. Rickard bombshell (Continued from page 1) council the meeting was adjourned until Friday after- 1 noon. i Counc. Clarke said the action to stall the development development was a disgrace. "Here we have à developer ready to go and this is how it ends up", he said. He also said that council had been elected to hold office for a two year period. The Holliday resolution called for three readings of a rezoning by-law for the lands in accordance with the Official Official Plan designation. Ridge Pine Park would undertake a development agreement with the Town within a period of up to March 1, 1981 and would come to agreement as to paying all reasonable development development costs. A letter of undertaking was also to be provided the Town that" $1 million worth of work would be undertaken within the first year and that a letter of credit in the amount of $500,000 was to be provided the Town within three days to become the property of the Town if works on the project were not undertaken within the period of the first year. Classified Ads Lead us O .Father in the paths of peace," Without your guiding hand we go astray. and doubts appall and sorrows sorrows still increase, Lead us through Christ the true and living way! Lead us 0 Father to thy heavenly rest, However rough and steep the pathway be, Through joy and sorrow as thou deemest best, Until our lives are perfected thee.
