Forrester, Editor S ■■■■■■" i -1 ' ' -, ' 1 PROMOTING TOURISM OR NOT The Town of Newcastle council is again considering considering a request for the closing of an unopened road allowance in the former Township of Clarke between lots 26 and 27 in the ninth concession a matter which has been repeatedly before council. The area in question is located west of Enterprise Hill and has over the years been used as part of a snowmobile trail that runs from Manilla to Bewdley. Mr. and Mrs. Beaucage, property owners, and residents on abutting land to the road allowance have repeatedly asked for the closing of the road stating that its use as a snowmobile trail has caused them problems of vandalism and trespass. •< The road allowance does have a value to this community in the area of tourism and especialy so in the winter months. Businêsses in the food and lodging industry industry benefit considerable by those using the trail as can be witnessed,on week-ends during the snowmobiling season. The Town of Newcastle council members have professed an interest in totirism and/this year for the first time have established a tourism department which has gained great support, from council. This support has been such that council has extended the program from the end of October to the end of the year at which time they are to consider the continuation of the plan" into and possibly through 1984. To seriously hamper the trail system in the north of the municipality by closing the unused road allowance can only be termed as a contradiction to then- support of plans to promote tourism in the Town of Newcastle. Leaving the road in its present state and allowing its use for public purposes and as a trail system costs the Town nothing. Even the cost of liability insurance would not be reduced that great through the closing of the road. At the present time the Town of Newcastle does have a tourist feature which is close to those businesses that can take advantage of the business generated and yet at actually no cost to the Town. The trail is also a feature that many local taxpayers use during during the winter months. Damage reports from useage of such trails, is in the most cases, greatly ; over-rated. If one was to judge from the trail that continues east from Highway 115 over private property damage is non-existing and the property owner and sriowmpbilers continue in agreement agreement with the use of the lands for part of a winter trail. If the Town is seriously interested in tourism the unopened road allowance will remain open in its present status and be available*as part of a trail system. Its à promotional feature that costs the Town absolutely absolutely nothing. ■ plan moved ahead highway A > Newtonville Sam Cureatz, M.P.P, for Durham East has been in' 1 formed by the Minister of Transportation and Communication, Communication, James Show, that his request /or advancing the construction of the 1.2 kilometers urban section through Newtonville has been approved. Snow states that thé urban section through Newtonville will be separated from the rest of Highway 2 reconstruction reconstruction and moved ahead to the earlier part of the current five year construction program as •a separate contract. Cureatz was also informed that the 300 metre section from the C.P.R. subway easterly which was planned ♦for 1984 will proceed as scheduled due to the frost heave problem. The remaining portion of ' reconstruction between Newcastle and Newtonville will stay on the end of the five year construction program, states Snow. Election by Ballot lost (Continued from page 1) meeting over the matter. "She. said she was not sure what action the Mayor would now take in calling a meeting in order that an appointment to fill the vacancy could be made. "The vote issue may come up again", she said. Mayor Rickard said he had been pre-empted by the Cowman motion. He said ,he had intended to ask council their views as to the call of a' meeting especially for the purpose of dealing with the vacancy. He said the call of a special meeting would let everyone in the municipality know what was happening. Mayor Rickard also stated that from what he hears most in Ward 3 want an election to fill the vacant scat and that a number of people are interested interested in placing their name for election. ■ Counc. Diane Harnre who supports the holding of an election said, "Why deny the people the right to elect their ■ representative to council?" she also said there appear to be a number of people in the Ward interested in funning in an election if such Was called. Providing the defeat of the motion on Monday holds council will now have to be called together when, council members can nominate candidates candidates for appointment for the vacant seat. If more than one nomination is presented council will then make selection selection through the voting procedure procedure and in case of a tie vote with two remaining candidates candidates the clerk would then be called upon to draw a name out of a hat. Mayor Rickard said he could have further information information late Tuesday afternoon. Town Road closing . (Continued from page 1) Mrs. Donald Ransberry, a resident in the area, spoke in oppostion to the closing stating that the snowmobile , trail passed by their home and hey had had no problem from snowmobilers. She said there may be a need for the unopened road in the future and this could arise from the development of the proposed high way 407. She said she felt an injustice was being done if the road was closed and that council should at least wait until such time as the area had lived: with the new reconstructed highway 115. Counc. Taylor pointed out no lands would be landlocked landlocked dud to the closing but Mrs. Ransberry said property owners should have more than one access to their lands. Mrs. Bëaucagc spoke 'In support of the-closing. The BeaucagesShave requested the closing of I the, road and ,that the lands be deeded to them at an agreed price.
