Goodwin was on hand with the scouts to help plant the first tree at Lynde Shore Conservation Area in the 1981 Trees For Canada program. In all, a total of 25,000 new trees will be planted by Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers on May 23. Members of the scouting movement will be out soon with pledge cards to help get support for the project. If Durham Region ap- proves the development plans for Brooklin, the developer may be able to bring in an industry that would create about 700 new jobs. In a letter to regional council, Soner Rumm, vice- president of Consolidated Building Corporation said that the developer has "begun negotiations with a major industry for Brooklin ... employing between 600 and 800 research person- nel." CBC is presently seeking regional approval of a plan that would see the hamlet of Brooklin grow to a town of 10,000 persons over a ten- year period while in- troducing some 150,000 square feet of new industry to the town. Rumm's letter also stated that the company has negotiated a 20,000 square foot industry for the Town of Whitby provided Brooklin is allowed to proceed. He added that the other industry. being negotiated with will require 100,000 square feet. However, Rumm in- dicated that CBC will need assurance from the region that the project will be given the go-ahead before a deal can be made. "You will appreciate that it will be difficult for us to continue meaningful negotiations with this, or any other industry without assurance from the region that the development of Brooklin will be allowed to proceed," Rumm wrote. "We, therefore, request that the whole matter of Brooklin be dealt with by council as early as possible, preferably by the end of this month." The letter was addressed to Regional Chairman Gary Herrema who released it. In the letter, CBC outlines its commitments should the False alarm results in charges Lorne Scott Palmer, 20, of 505 King Street, Whitby was charged with sending false messages after the town's fire department received a false alarm last Wednesday cight. At about 9:10 p.m. deputy fire, chief Tony Van Doleweerd was in the vicinity of the Safeway Plaza on Brock Street South when he saw a person get in- to a telephone booth, police said. According to police, a fire alarm was called into the nearby fire station seconds later, a call which turned out to be false. After Van Doleweerd did some investigating, police were called and a person was arrested for that and six other calls. Palmer has been charged with seven counts of sending false messages. He is scheduled to appear in provincial court here on April 24. proposal be allowed to proceed. Regional staff are expec- ted to submit a report on the letter and the proposal as a whole to council within the next two or three weeks. Speculation is that regional council will have difficulty in turning down the proposal now that CBC has said it will introduce new industry into the town. An industry creating 700 jobs would be about the same size as the Firestone Canada plant which closed down last year throwing 650 people out of work. Aside from the industry, CBC has promised to extend the sanitary sewer system to the hamlet at a cost of about $5.6 million. The sewer would be brought to the lot lines of existing homes and businesses as well as ser- vicing any new subdivisions. Herrema has been quoted recently as saying that the offer is too good to throw away and that the region needs both the industrial and residential development that CBC has promised to bring.
