C,W. 2.2 Million Letter of Credit Cashed Quietly by Region After having had a great summer our Ebenezer U.C.W. ladies met at the home of Mrs. Margaret Down for a picnic on September 11, 12:30 p.m. Although Although the weatherman didn't co-operate very well it didn't dampen our spirits and by the evidence of the empty casseroles casseroles it certainly didn't affect our appetite either as twenty ladies enjoyed a delicious lunch. President Mrs. Eileen Down opened the meeting with a poem on faith. Our secretary, Mrs. Kay Mackie read the past minutes and a thank you note from Auberge, the home in Oshawa for battered women, thanking us for our extra donation. Mrs. Joan Down then read the treasurer's treasurer's report. Eileen jogged our memories that we are invited on September 20,8:00 p.m. to join Maple Grove U.C.W. ladies for their meeting. Eileen read a newsletter from the Newman's, missionary missionary friends who have recently returned to Africa after a furlough. Our next meeting on October 9, we are having a guest speaker Marion Mason from Pineridge Nurseries who will be speaking about geraniums. geraniums. If you have any articles for the silent auction please bring them to the October meeting. A bazaar will be held at St. Andrew's Church in Oshawa on October 13. The regional meeting will . be held in our church on October 16, the theme being "Go into the world and witness to all." Mrs. Margaret Down then led us in the devotional, opening opening with a call to worship followed by a tape of her cousin singing "There's Something Something About That Name." Margaret then read a modern day parable about a lobster who didn't want to shed his shell because he was content to stay the way he was. The creator gave in to his wish but after a while the lobster found out that his shell soon became too tight and he needed a new one in order to grow. The creator told him that all growth carries with it both the possibility of discomfort and the potential for great joy. Margaret then went on to compare the parable of the lobster to our own lives. We think that we know what is best for our lives forgetting that we are but a speck in God's creation. Eventually our shells become too tight and heavy and we are forced to come to our Heavenly Father with our anxieties and concerns. Matthew 11:28 tells us "Come unto me, all ye that labour, and are heavy laden an I will give you rest." We then all read in unison the hymn "Now Thank We All Our God" following with a closing prayer. Margaret's devotional was just what we needed to get us going on another year's service for our Lord. On Tuesday evening September 18th a community shower was held for one of our girls Cheryl Pearce and her fiance Derek Reynolds. They are being married in October and we wish them well. Congratulations to Kathy and David Down on their recent marriage. Our love and best wishes go with them as they travel back to Kamloops, B.C. where they are making their home.

Plan Changes To Bylaw on Billboards Newcastle's elected representatives representatives are thinking of making some changes to a town by-law which restricts billboards throughout the municipality. The town's planning director director said in a report to council that an existing bylaw bylaw prohibits large billboards. But, the Ministry Ministry of Transportation and Communications has regulations regulations which allow such signs alongside provincial highways. By changing the sign restrictions, restrictions, the municipality could ensure that local and provincial sign rules are the same. Some members of council were sympathetic to the suggested change in the sign by-law. "I have a lot of difficulty when we have two sets of rules governing two areas," said Councillor Diane Hamre. She added that she doesn't believe billboards are suitable in urban areas such as Bowmanville or Newcastle, although they are appropriate along provincial provincial highways. While the town may consider consider a general sign by-law amendment in the future, such legislation has not yet come before council. Planning Director Terry Edwards said in a report to the general purpose committee committee this week that the town would have to provide public notice before it alters alters its sign by-law. The Durham Region scooped up $2.2 million in cash early this month as the result of a controversial contract contract between the regional municipality municipality and a developer with land holdings in Brooklin. Regional Chairman Gary Her- rema said last week that he foresees a possible battle with developers developers over the actions of the Durham Region. Therefore, the money, which produces produces interest of $800 per day, will not be spent until legal issues are resolved. However, many regional councillors councillors have disputed the right of Durham to proceed with cashing the letter of credit without securing approval from town council. Councillor John DeHart called the move dictatorial. "We don't need the rest of council here, we can just let the mayors run the whole show," said Councillor DeHart, DeHart, in reference to the committee of regional mayors who decided to seize the funds. Allan McPhail, a member of the committee and mayor of Brock Township, disagreed. He said the decision was a legal move made to protect the Durham Region. Mayor Garnet Rickard also supported supported the speed with which the funds were secured. "When you get in a situation like this, you don't give the opposition a minute," said the Newcastle mayor. Committee members argued that if the matter were brought before council, the intentions of elected officials would have leaked to the public and an injunction would have prevented Durham from securing securing the cash. In a 18-10 vote, members of council council agreed to support the actions taken at an in camera meeting of the regional management committee. committee. Most of the protests over the handling of the matter came from Oshawa regional councillors. Durham decided to seize the funds because it believes that a developer developer of land in Brooklin has not met the terms ot an agreement. Don Evans, chief administrative officer for Durham, told members of regional council last week that Durham was given a $2.2 million letter letter of credit which could be cashed if the proposed 300 acre subdivision subdivision did not begin in Brooklin within four years. The letter of credit credit could also be cashed if parties to the agreement were to sell the land. Regional chairman Gary Her- rema learned that at least part of the land slated for development has reverted back to its original owners through foreclosure. And at a hastily-called meeting of Durham's finance committee, elected officials instructed the regional regional finance commissioner to proceed proceed immediately to cash the letter of credit. Commissioner Jack Gartley went to two banks to secure the funds. Chairman Herrema commended Mr. Gartley for his efforts, noting that "he stood in line like a hold-up man". The commissioner secured the money in spite of the fact that protests were already being launched by developers who had learned of the Durham Region's intentions. intentions. Now that Durham has the funds,, it is still willing to negotiate with the developers over the disposition of the money. "We're always open for discussions," said Mr. Herrema last week. He stated that he believes the funds should be used to correct severe severe water and sewer difficulties in the Durham Region. But action to improve the town's water system couldn't take place until funds are placed in next year's regional council budget, Mr. Herrema Herrema said. And he stated that the question of development in Brooklin is not related to the need to improve the existing water system there. "Even without this money, the Region's Region's going to have to improve the water system in Brooklin," said Mr. Herrema. Budget Guideline Debated A proposed five per cent ceiling on the town's preliminary budget guidelines , was rejected Monday when members of the town's general general purpose and administration committee debated guidelines for next year's financial plans. A staff recommendation had suggested that departments place before council financial forecasts showing no more than a five per cent increase. But that proposal was rejected in favor of a clause which instructs staff to "minimize any expenditure increase." Members of council made it clear that they expect next year's spending spending to be similar to 1984, when the town's budget produced no increase increase over the previous year. Councillor Ivan Hobbs suggested the change. "I'm going to oppose using a percentage figure," he said. But he asked councillors to meet in camera to discuss the reasons for striking the five per cent ceiling. At the end of a brief discussion behind closed doors, the majority of the committee agreed to change the wording of the 1985 guidelines. Councillor Diane Hamre stated, however, that she still prefers to see a guideline with a definite figure figure in place. "I'm very concerned with the direction you're going,", she said. A total of nine budget guidelines were adopted by the committee this week and recommended for final approval by town council. Town staff are asked to increase user fees only to reflect actual costs. These fees should not exceed 10 per cent over the previous year.
