congratulating the Municipality of Clarington on the occasion of the
sod-turning for the Olympic arena set to open in 2003. There is no
doubt that such a facility is needed in the area and will be well used

Japan and the Russian Federation met to negotiate the

Murray Paterson, President, Newcastle/Bond Head Ratepayers'
Association, advising Paul Macklin, M.P. and Alex Shepherd, M.P.
that the Board of Directors of the Newcastle/Bond Head
Ratepayers' Association felt that the opinion of their Association
should be expressed to their elected representatives regarding the
proposed federal electoral boundaries. They strongly oppose the
proposed new boundaries which would link them with
Northumberland. Clarington has no common interest with
Northumberland and, as one of the fastest growing areas in
Ontario, they feel that they have a much stronger association with
the interests of the G.T.A.
Resolution #C-499-02
Moved by Councillor MacArthur, seconded by Councillor Trim
THAT the opinion of the Newcastle/Bond Head Ratepayers'
Association regarding the proposed federal electoral boundaries be
endorsed by the Council of the Municipality of Clarington.

Rod Piukkala, Deputy Chief of Operations, Durham Regional Police
Service, advising Council that they are interested in being provided
with a copy of Enid Slack's report dealing with the provision of
policing services in the Municipality of Clarington. Mr. Piukkala
believes a portion of that report deals with the issue of deployment
of resources to the patrol zones within Clarington. Concurrent with
the municipality's study, they have been meeting with Inspector
Cameron to ensure the deployment of personnel to the areas within
Clarington are appropriately resourced having due regard to
contractual issues, population, calls for services, specific types of
calls which require two officer response, number of kilometres of
roads, school populations and a host of other factors.

Becky Wall, Public Health Nurse, Region of Durham, requesting
Council to proclaim October 2,2002, as International Walk to
School Day (IW ALK). On October 4, 2001, more than 135,000
students and their families from over 440 schools participated in
IWALK in Ontario. A total of 22 schools in Durham Region
participated. International Walk to School Day provides an
opportunity to build a sense of community, increase participation in
physical activity, reduce air pollution and promote safe walking
routes in our community.

Donna Schinkel, Chairperson, Durham Region Breastfeeding
Coalition, requesting Council to proclaim October 1 - October 7,

Mothers, Healthy Babies". It recognizes that breastfeeding plays
an integral role in the overall health and well being of women,
babies and our population as a whole.

Ron Hooper, Chairman, Board of Management, Bowmanville
Business Centre, advising Council that the Board of Management
endorses the Municipality's strategy of developing a commercial
corridor along Highway #2 in Bowmanville. However, they do have
a primary concern that new commercial be balanced with the new
residential, such that the two proceed, more or less, in unison. Mr.
Hooper is requesting that a extensive independent Market and
Planning Study be made, relating population growth to population
thresholds for allowable commercial retail space on acceptable and
recognized levels regarding the development applications by West
Diamond Properties Inc., Players Business Park Ltd., and Valiant
Property Management. A component part of this market study
should take into consideration:
1.
the effect of "Big Box Stores" at least one of which is
proposed, on the available dollars to be spent in other type
stores;

David C. Reesor, advising Council that he does not support the
drive by what appears to be a small group of homeowners to make
a large residential area historically protected. When Mr. Reesor
purchased his home in April 1989, he had previously rejected a
"Heritage Conservation District" home at Myrtle because of the
restrictions associated with owning that type of residence. Now he
is faced with the same issue fourteen years later. The group
driving this initiative does not represent Mr. Reesor, nor, he
suspects, a greater number of homeowners in the area in question.
Homeowners in the area are not being made aware of the
restrictions this program includes. Please support the silent group
that wants to live in Bowmanville and not have constraints imposed
on them by a few upper end homeowners who have or can
designate their homes.
(Correspondence referred to the
Director of Planning Services and to

C.V. Bergmann, requesting Council to place traffic lights at the
intersection of Courtice Road and Nash Road, Courtice. On
September 12, 2002, the intersection of Courtice and Nash Road
once again was the site of a car accident. This intersection is also
the route of travel for those attending Courtice High School no more
than 100 feet away. Walking students have to cope with heavy
traffic to cross Nash Road and/or Courtice Road to get to and from
school.

Mr. and Mrs. James Cockerham, providing Council with a copy of a
letter written to John O'Toole, MPP, regarding the LCBO Agency
Store currently located in the Hampton General Store, Old Scugog
Road, Hampton. There was no communication with the citizens
within the Hampton community before the store opened and
therefore how could the LCBO or the Municipality of Clarington
know if there was in fact any opposition to such a project. The
Cockerhams feel that this was not a choice location for an Agency
store. It is located next to a church and is surrounded by residential
homes, not commercial stores. This is an area where school
children catch buses and minors are known to frequent. The
Cockerhams also advise of the following issues:
.
Traffic;
Parking;
Noise;
Safety issues;
The current owner has owned the property for one year not
two;
No accessibility for physically challenged customers; and
Beverages are located in the same fridge as the milk, juices,
