EXPANSION UPDATE I give upi I thougbt ail the builabaloo over the "Brooklln expansion" had been settled. Wbether youz are anti or pro expansion I believe most Brooklinites are in agreement with respect to one fact. Our town desperately needs a new water supply and an adequate sewage systein. Apart from the fact that most citizens of our town have been aware for some time now that Brooklin literaily 44stinks", due to total absorbtion of sewage into the land, and a totally poiluted creek, the Reglonal Healtb Department has also acknow- ledged the fact. Not only bas the bealth department stated there 18 a drastic problein in Brooklin which bas to be aîeviated in the near future, they bave recently made statements to the press that Lynde Creek, flowing south througb Witby and the Otter Creek "ANNOUNCEMENTS " RECEPTION CARDS- INVITATIONS " TKANIÇ YOU CARDS IFIC SUPLE p - s . . , '.dav SAaxOrtai the final analysis, when brought before reglonal council, the vote was overwhelmingly for the propoeal by Firat City to develop Brooklln, and pay the total cost for bringlng the sewers to the town. Members from throughout the entire region voted yes. The majorlty of the no voters camne from representatives from the City of OshawaTwo of these representatives in particular; namely Coun- cillor Ed Kolodzie and Oshawa Public Utilities Commissioner Gord Burnett, have taken upon theinselves to dispute this agreement to the fullest. They have registered a formai objection with the Ontarlo Municipal Board, the final vote as to whether the developmnent goes through or not. The .M.B. can chon-se to disregard this objection or take it into consideration - who knows. The one thlng I do knoW is that it bas thrown the proverbial monkeywrench into the works in as much as it will slow the proceedings down considerably; even as much as a year or two. The question in my mind is why? Why would two people, out of s0 many, be so concerned about the matter of Brooklin development? 1 recail, while listening to regional councl debate, Oshawa Mayor Alan Pilkey's remark to the effect "'why develop Brooklin when there are so many serviced lots in Oshawa that have not been utiized? " This to me is facetious. If you are a carpenter who knows people want chairs and you are building tables then if you have any intelligence at ail you switch and build chairs. If you continue to build tables you are liable to be called a fool. Likewise ... if you have a developer ready to build in Brooklin and service the community to boot, why not let him. If he had wan- ted Oshawa's leftovers he would have approached them initially. Let's get down to brass tacks - *money. It bas been stated that our area must have water and sewer in the near future. Yesterday was too late. The Town of Whitby and the financial department of Durham Region have stated they do not have the money to bring these services north to Brooklin. The health department bas indicated they must corne through. The answer, it seems to me, is simple ... taxes. Everyone in Durham Region will eventually have to dip into their pockets to pay for this. First City is willing to do it free - gratis - nada. Why should hard- working folk in Whitby, Port Perry, Sunderland, etc. pay for our needs?. The people of Brooklin have stood silently by and been maneuvered out of their rights for long enough. We have lost our identity in many ways., Why should two people from another town dictate our destinies? It's about time we crawled out of our shelîs and stated our beliefs. We need sewers pure and simple. The O.M.B. will be pleased to hear from ail residents. That is the only way they will know what the true feelings of al the people in Brooklin are. Whether you are pro or con please write a letter to the O.M.B. now. Contact your regional represent- ative for the address, or else drop them into the bakery in town. Mark O.M.B. on the envelope and I will make sure they arrive unopened to the appro- priate person at the àpproprîate time. BROOKLIN HOME BAKERY &DELICATESSAN 61 BALDWIN ST.
