Forrester, Editor Hi ' . ■ , •' , - J There should have been more support A number of weeks ago the Town of Newcastle council was voting on a proposal put forth by the Durham Region Non-Profit Housing Corporation to build a 60-unit town house complex at the corner of Concession Street and Mearns Avenue in Bowmanville. Council members were divided in a three-way tie with approval only coming through a positive vote from the chair. The Housing Corporation has a good record for their accomplishments in Durham Region providing affordable housing, some subsidized and others meeting other requirements requirements of a mixed society. This is the case across the province province ahd is not solely a plus in this municipality . There is à dire need for affordable housing due to a great extent to the widening gap between those with and those without the required employment to meet the financial demands that have skyrocketed in the past few years in the housing industry. It is as a result of society itself and can only now be corrected by such undertakening as Non-profit and Co-op housing. Unfortunately some feel there is a stigma associated with such housing and this comes to light when such proposals proposals are put forth, all in good faith, by the proponents. There has been enough studies undertaken throughout the province which denounce the idea that such housing devalues neighbouring properties. There is no reason that the Non-Profit'complex should detract in any way from its surrounding, surrounding, in fact it may well compliment the area and, in this case, we would expect that to happen. The fears expressed of crime, vandalism is no more true than if the housing were in the hundreds of thousands dollars class. Home ownership brings about pride in all parts of society, and equally to all financial levels of society. There have been errors made in housing in the past when areas were designated only to one class of housing. It brought about ghettos but on the other hand much has been written over the past years that a mix makes for a healthy and concerned community. The fact that Durham Region made the effort to form the Non-Profit corporation for housing is a sign of compassion compassion on their part. It is also such a sign for the Catholic Church and the United Church who have become involved in some major projects along with the province to provide Coop Coop housing in the larger centres. Without such action the, fibre of our communities would fester in some areas and the community as a whole would suffer as wotild the quality of life within that community. community. The Durham Non-Profit Housing Corporation project is to go ahead in Bowmanville but there should have been more support from the community and likewise from council.

His Mysterious Ways With our four little children and two visiting nieces to tuck in, bedtime bedtime that night took a long time. Over each drowsy child I said a prayer, asking God to watch over them. Later, when my husband and I went to bed, I lay on the edge of sleep lulled by the innocent noises, drifting down the hallway: deep- sleep sights, the mumbled words of dreamy conversations. At 4:30 I woke up abruptly, I heard a niece whisper. Suddenly I found myself out of bed, running down the hallway. But not to the room where my niece lay. Without knowing why, I ran to my children's bedroom on the other side of the house. I stood in their doorway, hearing my heart pounding in my eaj*s. Something bad was about to happen. happen. Seconds ticked by. The children went on sleeping peacefully , in their bunk beds. AH was quiet. Why did I run here? Am I dreaming? dreaming? And then before my eyes the upper upper half of the bunk bed came apart. 1 rushed forward to catch the heavy mattress board and mattress before they crashed down onto my littlest one, Rachel in the bottom bunk. I cried for help and my husband husband came, in a few moments all was set right. Andy and I stepped back. "Why were you in here?" he asked. "I don't know." "Thank God you were," Andy said. And then, with a smile hé added, added, "Listen, we're whispering. The kids never even woke up Lynn B. Link StevensVille, Montana The proud father phoned the newspaper to report the birth of twins.
