He asked a decision be deferred for at least 60 days in order that the residents could co-ordinate their opposition. Dolstra expressed his disappointment with the decision, stating that council was being unfair to residents by back-tracking on the decision to defer the matter. But Councillor Ross Batten reminded Dolstra council had made it quite clear the previous week that it could only consider the zoning and aesthetics of the building, not who would ultimately live there. BOWMANVILLE After two years of deliberation and consideration, Newcastle Council has given approval to a $5 million restoration for the Town Hall, located on Temperence Street in Bowmanville. Council must now decide what type of addition should be added to the present Town Hall structure and tenders must be let for the construction and face-lift. Of the total amount, $4.3 million is expected to go towards the construc- tion of the new addition, with some $400,000 allocated for a new computer system and $300,000 for '"'extra" or unforseen costs. A $2.5 million loan to assist with the refurbishing must also be approved by the provincial government. The work is expected to start later this year. REGION Regional chairman, Gary Herrema feels it's about time the province spent a little more money on highways outside the Metro Toronto area, particularily in Durham. He stated Metro was grabbing all the "big bucks' when it comes to building, extending or improving roads and other transportation systems, pointing to the $2.7 billion Network 2011 .... a 25 year provir 'al transit plan dealing soley with Toronto. Herrema has already made a mental list of work he would like to see completed in this region, including cloverleafs at Regional 23 and 401, and Stevenson Road, Oshawa and 401; the widening of Brock Road in Picker- ing and widening of the 401 through Durham. Durham and the chairman of both York and Peel Regions have also been pushing Queen's Park for the construction of Highway 407 which would loosely follow Highway 7 and link all three regions across the top of Toronto, to help alleviate the traffic congestion on Highway 401 and other east/west arteries. PORT PERRY A Blackstock man suffered "severe chest injuries' when the car he was driving smashed into a slow-moving truck hauling farm machinery near Port Perry last week. The truck, which had a wide load, was being driven by David Hunter, 22, of Brooklin. Hunter was travelling west on Shirley Road when the on- coming car struck the truck. Ralph Branton, 39, of Blackstock, was listed in stable condition in Port Perry Community Hospital. No charges were laid in the accident accor- ding to Durham Regional Police. REGION Durham Region will seek an out-of-court settlement in a damage claim made by the father of Guy Paul Moran, a Queensville man acquitted earlier this year of the murder of Christine Jessop. Regional chairman Gary Herrema indicated council has authorized the region's lawyer to negotiate with the lawyers for Alphonse Morin, who is claiming recompense for damages done to his car during the investiga- tion by Durham Regional Police into the murder of the nine-year-old girl. Morin was charged in April 1985, four months after Christine went miss- ing from her home. He was acquitted in February after a lengthy trial in London, Ontario. : : Morin is charging that his car was damaged while police were sear- ching for evidence. They found hairs and fibres that were later used dur- ing the trial. : UXBRIDGE A two-acre section of Durham Regional Forest, located in Uxbridge, will be sold to Ontario Hydro for $43,600. Regional Council decided at their last meeting to sell the land on the north-west corner of Regional Road 21 to Hydro to enable them to construct a distribution station. The money from the sale could go into a forest reserve fund used to buy more forest land or improve existing forest areas. As part of the agreement, Hydro has stated they will leave all trees, save for those on the exact spot where the station will be located, stan- ding. The station, which is being built to serve the south-east part of Ux- bridge, will also be screened from view by trees.
