PAGE 6, WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1987 Bail tkes ConservatiLve nomination Af ter three ballots by a, packed house of party members, .Oshawa lawyer Stephanie Bahl last week won the Progressive Conser- vative nomination for the new Durham Centre provincial riding. Bal,ý 31, who wants iinproved transpor- tation corridors bet- ween Oshawa and Toronto as weil as more day care facilities, won in her first bid for a leadership over two- Oshawa aldermen and Frank Snyder of Whit- by. Snyder, a general con- tractor who wants a return to the values of "IGod, home and com- munity," had many sign-waving supporters among the . crowd of about 1,200 and lost 270- 207 to Bail on the third and final ballot. Defeated on the first ballot was Linda Dion- ne, Ward 6 alderman in Oshawa and former separate school trustee, who saîd that the new riding needs experien- ced representation. Oshawa's North Ward alderman Larry McLean lost out on the second ballot. He, too, asked for an improved east-west transpor- tation corridor and said there was "lots to do"y insofar as care for the elderly and handicap- ped -and future landfill site needs. Bail, nominated by Ed Buffett of Whitby received loud vocal support as well -as ac- companiment to the stage by a group of Whitby musicians, mostly Whitby Youth Band members, direc- ted by Bruce Court. She said more schools are needed as well as services for senior citizens in the riding. STEPHANIE BALL Durham Centre needs a "broader economic base," she says, to provide more oppor- tunities in other en- deavors,- such as the ar- ts. She favors plans to widen the 401 highway and establish the 407 highway, and says the GO extension to Oshawa is also needed. Snyder, another first- time candidate for leadership, said he op- poses abortion and sup- ports reduced spending and taxes. HIe said government should also look at "work fare" as an 'alternatiV" to welfare.: HIe also favors larger tax breaks for working men whose wives stay at home to care for their children. He agreed with Sunday store closing since it is a "day for friends, family and church." Attendinig the meeting were representatives of seven area PC associations as well as several local coun- cillors, mostly fromf Oshawa. ,,,Bail is the first can- didate for the new provincial riding.

"Thank God I Im delighted we havent gotten that.thing, " said councilor Joe Drumm. .The transfer station, which would have been able to handie up to 5o tons of waste per day, would have been located in Drumm's east ward. Drumm was one of the more public non- supporters of the ap- plication on Whitby- coundil. He said he was also happy with the way the residents of. Whitby came together to fight the application. "If we had just accep- ted it, it would have been shoved down our throats," said Drumm. HIe believed if the Ap- plication had been ap- proved, the transfer station would haVe "1hindered" develop- *ment in the area. "lWe want hotels *there, not Decom," said - - - -.

By 1990 the average income in Whitby is expeeted to be $43,900, almost 80 per cent higher than in Oshawa. At present growth rates the total wealth of Whitby wil pass Oshawa some time iri the mid 1990's. Housing starts in Whitby, which are an indication of growth rate, were 40 per cent higher in 1986 than the previous year suggesting that Whit- by's growth is even faster than projected. If that is, in fact the case, then many of these statistics may be quite conservative. Need volunteers Volunteers are neede4 to assist with the- Durham Corporate Challenge '87..'
