PORT PERRY STAR -- Tues., February 10, 1987 -- 11 Cureatz predicts tough Durham East fight (from page 1) important," he stated. If elected, Mr. Cureatz pledged to continue the strong constituency work for which he has built a per- sonal reputation over the past decade in the Old Durham East riding. "We have to be fair to everyone that has needed assistance, that has needed a listening ear and that has put forward advice in terms of the direction that this province should take," he noted. The new riding of Durham East includes all of the town of Newcas- tle, part of the north end of Oshawa and Whitby, -all of Scugog and Manvers Townships. The New Democrats have already selected Marg Wilbur from Scugog Township to carry the party banner in the next election, while Newcas- tle Regional councillor Diane Hamre and former Northumberland School Board chairman Donna' Faire' have announced they will seek the nomination for the Liberal Party, Mr. 'Cureatz was first elected to the Legislature in 1977 by a slim margin of 122 votes. In the last elec- tion, he defeated his nearest oppo- nent by more than 6000 votes. Hehas served as Deputy speaker in the House, a Cabinet Minister and is currently Opposition critic. He told the meeting last week that Winter storm (from page 1) the ridges where conditions were described as treacherous. "It has been busier but we've been keeping pretty steady," Mrs, Fulford said. "It was definitely one ~ of the busiest days we've had this year." ) Ministry of Transportation official John Foster found his crews equal- ly busy with every plow, truck and grader on the road throughout the storm. ~~ "Things were just booming!" he said. "It was a long night." Things were also booming for Township of Scugog plowing and sanding employees, who were still busy Monday cleaning up sideroads. At the Railroadhouse Motor Hotel, 'about a dozen travellers were - stranded for the night. Doreen Ken- dall (who was in charge because the owners were stranded in Mactier) opened up her arms and the breakfast room where she cooked up pancakes and bacon for cold and weary drivers. candidates fortunes may rest with the "independent voters,' the ones who *'are a little more suspicious of (party) slogans and TV jingles." He suggested the coming election will in effect be "130 by-elections,' with voters taking a "long and hard look at the candidates for whom they will vote.' Mr. Cureatz outlined some of the initiatives he has spoken out on dur- ing his time as an MPP, including the continued construction of the Darlington nuclear plant, funding for hospitals in Bowmanville and Oshawa, commitment to GO Tran- sit extension to the east, and funds for both public and Catholic Schools. He noted that recently he has placed a resolution in front of the Legislature to ensure farmers the right to a retirement lot without the expense and inconvenience of héar- ings. And farmers should have the right to sever non-agrieultural lands ~ for building lots to pay for construc- tion of their retirement homes. '""After all, we are giving developers the opportunity of hav- ing many severances on plans of Wilbur raps resolution The New Democratic Party can- didate for Durham East riding has strongly criticized a resolution from Conservative MPP Sam Cureatz which would permit farmers to sever parts of their land unsuitable . for agricultural purposes. Marg Wilbur said Monday there should "not be any loosening of the regulations" pertaining to severences in rural and farm areas of the province. A resolution from MPP Sam Cureatz, who is running in Durham East in the next provincial election, "calls for farmers to be allowed to re- tain the right to a severence for a retirement lot, and alSo to sever un- workable portions of the farm such \ \ ~ ontheDay YouWere Born? \ Comme voit all alsout itvhe wesc our computer to print your "Special Edition" of as ravine and bush lots, and areas inaccesible to large farm equipment. Mr. Cureatz' resolution states that in the latter case, any severence would be at the discretion of the local Land Division Committee, tak- ing into consideration the size of the property. - Mrs. Wilbur, said she is not oppos- ed to farmers having the continued right to sever a lot for their retire- ment, but she is very concerned about the possibility of chopping up unworkable parts of a farm for residential lots. "We should be preventing this kind of un-organized and un'planned development," said Mrs. Wilbur.
