Emmett Cardinal Carter, Archbishop of Toronto con- fered the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice Cross on Sister Mildred Moyle. Moyle retired as principal of Whitby's only Catholic high school at the end of the 1979-80 school year. Carter, who was' only recently, named to the Sacred College of Cardinals, followed tradition by con- fering Papal Decorations on those people who had con- tributed to the life of the church. Once named a car- dinal, it is traditional for an archbishop to share- the honor with members of his archdiocese. John Aker In a brief interview following last week's council meeting, Regional Coun- cillor John Aker (Oshawa), said that while the proposai had some merits from a public works viewpoint, it is "enot seen as a great idea" by the majority of council. Aker pointed out that the region has already serviced some 14,000 acres of land for both comercial and*residen- tiai development. "We have already spent a lot of money on servicing land along the lakeshore," he saîd. "It does not seem reasonable to service more residential land." The unsuccessful can- didate for the regional chairman's job alsQ said that the region was concer- ned with the planning'aspect 0f the proposai saying that council does not want to "elongate Whitby." Aker, 37, an eight year veteran of municipal affairs, said that with Whitby's downtown core centre around Highway 2 and a municipal building at Rossland Road planning, should he concentrated in that area. SHowever, this does not mean that the project wiil "The project might proceed if the developers are willing to pay ail the costs, " Aker said. The finance chairman also said that if the provincial government revives the con- troversial Seaton project, it would be uniikely that the developer would want to carry on with expanding the hamlet. "If the province moves ahead with Seaton, then the developer will not want to The streets are for the people. Exercise your rights. ?Mlk a block a day. develop Brooklin," he said. However, Aker said that the regionai council's promary concern with the development is the fact that present servide land is not being used. "IWe have overserviced," Aker maintains. "We are ahead of our requirements 50 it -doesn't make sense about leapfrogging further. " Should regional council reject the proposai, Aker estimates that it will be at least 10 years before the region service Brooklin with sewers. The proposai to expand the hamiet by some 10,000 persons over a 10 year period, which has aiready been accepted by Whitby Town Council, is expected to be before the region sometime this spring. 106 Coborne St. E.
