In Hampton the greatest concern registered was water quality and supply along with road conditions. It was pointed out that the Orono Woods Walk proposal and the parking suggestions would not be a part of the hamlet plan but would be considered by the concerned Town departments, Community Services and Public Works. Both the Orono and Hampton plan are to be further considered by staff and the consultants prior to the holding of a public meeting over both plans. The public meetings are a requirement under the planning act. 407 expected to terminate at 115/35 intersection (Continued from page 1) Garner said the right-a-way, west of Metro has been protected. This, he said, is not the case east of Metro. He spoke of pressures of the proposed Seaton Place, possible federal lands, and development in the northern portion of municipalities. He said the Ministry is now reviewing official plans in the area and taking their thinking even somewhat beyond these plans. H» said it was the middle of last year that 407 east to the junction of 115/35 highway was brought forward. forward. He said "it would be some time yet but the Ministry is developing developing its plans. He said the next stage would be confirmation for the need of Highway 407. He said when the present study is complete it should be no surprise that the need for 407 will be there. Garner said he was not proposing to now show a specific route. He si t would take another two years before they would be able to outline a specific area to be protected for Highway 407 in the area. He also spoke of connecting links with highway 401 and 2 which may appear in a number of sectors east of Toronto» f A Night Out on the Town In the mail this week we received a hand-full of letters written to Sam Cureatz in answer to some of his enquiries. enquiries. One of them, from the Ministry of Transportation had to do with parking at the Whitby GO station which has been somewhat inadequate due to the response to the service which opened late last year. The Ministry letter informs Sam that this summer GO will create a total of 450 new parking spaces to be open in September. In the meantime meantime GO has leased 150 parking spaces at Iroquois Park Recreation Centre. In the same mail but nothing to do with GO but rather a result of Metro's traffic of which GO has been instituted to help deviate one of our suppliers is trying to cope with this very problem. Canadian Fine Colors from which we purchase ink and printing supplies notes that Toronto traffic is now their mimber one problem. They make 300 deliveries a day in Metro from their Brockhouse Road plant and over the past five years delivery time in Metro has doubled. This makes the operation more costly and as well delivery times have turned into a gusessing game. The solution has become a second second plant in the Beavercreek area, east Toronto, to serve the eastern area. The both items are somewhat related. You may ask, at this point, what has this to do with A Night Out on the Town. Well a couple of weeks ago we received a call from granddaughter Kelly wanting to know if Grampa would take her and a friend to the circus. After a brief moment my answer was, "Why not, after all my grand- Heritage '89 celebration father took me to the Gardens for the circus." And I still remember the day the elephants paraded down the Main Street of Beeton and set up a big tent in the fair grounds for the biggest show of my life to that point. Being mindful of evening traffic and possible parking problem I suggested suggested we would take the GO from Whitby, catch the subway and finally someway arrive at the Gardens. This, I thought, would also add to the outing for Kelly even though we had done it before. It is also an opportunity for the kids to look after the trip into the City but with a watchful eye from Grampa that we don't end up on the wrong train Or subway going the wrong way. Kelly admits she never knows whether she is going east, north, west or south when it comes to the city. The trip was uneventful with arrival arrival at the Gardens in plenty of time and with little effort on my part. I did suggest that we not take the north bound subway on the way home to which I was being ushered by my escorts. We did also miss the GO by a whisker on our return trip but this offered the opportunity for people watching in the Union Station for an hour. There were lovers, family outings, a group of seniors out on the town, and the casual travellers. The kids enjoyed the event and GO and the subway were part of the evening. Of course McDonalds topped it off for them on the way home after leaving the Whitby Station. What next Kelly . . . The Phantom Phantom of the Opera?

The Town of Newcastle committee committee have referred a complaint of dogs add storage of old vehicles to the Plaifning Director for a report at the next meeting of council. The Director is to have the by-law enforcement officer contact the Regional Police ahd as well have the Ministry of the Environment investigate investigate a property on Stewart Road which contains a number of old automobiles. This action was taken following complaints registered by Robert Stewart and Calvin Newman, both of R.R. 1 Newtonville. Both men complained of dogs running at large with Stewart noting that the dogs had chased his sheep and as well harrassed his wife on their own property. He said he had contacted both the Police, the bylaw bylaw enforcement officer and the Animal Control department on a number of occasions. Stewart said to this point his complaints have been unsuccessful although many promises have been made. Stewart said he felt it was "a serious matter and asked why a move could not be made to get some action on the Town's by-laws. Newman spoke of work continuing continuing throughout the night on motors with great noise and that when his neighbours moved in they brought 11 wrecks with them along with their furniture.
