. Water agreement unresolved after special council meeting Following a special joint # meeting of the Port Perry and Reach Township coun- cils, on June 5, two reso- lutions regarding the water agreement with Athika En- terprises were passed by Village Council. pe The special meeting was called to 'discuss the propo- sal of Athika Enterprises regarding the construction of a new well, the terms of the proposed agreement betw- een Athika and the Village, and the supply of water from the Village to the Athika development in Reach Township." A resolution passed by Village: Council several months ago where by in return for the construction of anew well, the Village would agree to supply the Athika industrial development with water when needed,. had been rescinded recently by Council. The new resolution passed June 5 includes the following terms: (1) developer to con- struct a well which when fully completed would be" turned over to the Village; (2) developer to receive one-third of (estimated) 300 about war, the least. As | see it BY JOHN B. McCLELLAND There is a sinister and frightening article appearing in the June 12 issue of Time Magazine. It is an article not not about rioting, not -about mass starvation, not about masskilling or loss of life. It is entitled "Energy Crisis: Are We Running . Out?" and one does not have to read very widely between the lines to realize that in the next two decades or so planet earth is going to face a crisis possibly more serious than all the other crisis combined. The gist of it allis this: increasing demands for staggering amounts of energy, and the need to preserve and retain what is left of the natural environment are on a collision & course, the affect of which will be devestating, to say gallons per minute of the well up to a m aximum of 140 gpm; if capacity less than 300 gpm, developer to re- ceive one-third of the capac- ity; (3) developer to receive water only for industrial purposes until. minimum of 40 per cent of industrial park (28 acres) is developed; then water to be made available for residential and commer- cial use; (4) after terms (1) and (3) have been complied with and one year has lapsed after well is complete water will be provided for residen- tial and commercial develo- pment; (5) leter of credit in the amount of $100,000 to be provided by the developer. Unofficial reports are that Athika may be unwilling to accept the terms of the resolution, especially. term (4) which means developer will have to wait a full year after well goes into operation before water is available for non-industrial purposes, and then only if 40 per cent of the industrial park is developed. Industrial park is located on 28 acres of land on the east side of the Oshawa Road, a mile south of Port Perry. Athika has plans for a commercial and residential development on the west of tered into between Athika and the Village under the terms of the June 5 meeting, Reach Reeve Sam Oyler who attended the June 5 meeting expressed some cri- titcism over the Port Perry Council resolution. "I think it is very foolish of Port Perry to hold up the residential and. commercial development for' a year and a half. I want to see the development. We should take it while we can. Ina year and a half time this area will be in regional government, and we won't be getting any development then, because design for development of .an Ontario County region is for the southern portion." (meaning south of the ridges) Mr. Oyler said the land in Reach Township which At- hika wants to develop com- mercially and residentially is now in the process of being rezoned from agricultural. As this paper was going to press Tuesday night, officials of Athika Enter- prises were to meet with, Port Perry Council on this whole issue. We hope to have, a report on the outcome of this meeting in the next issue _of the paper. PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, June 14, 1972 -- 15 Cedar Creek News Martin and David Den Boer came home from Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Michigan, last week. David is staying home for the summer and Martin has returned to the States for the summer. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Blain, Darlene and Ted; Mr. and Mrs. Jim Blain, Irene and Allen; and Mr. and Mrs. John Greenwood attended a house warming for Mr. and Mrs. Ross Smith at Stouff- ville last Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Tre- panier of Toronto were with Mr. and Mrs. Victor Larocque last weekend. The Harold Holtby family moved to Nobleton on Tues- day. Mrs. Roy Graham has been a patient in Port Perry Hospital since Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Stin- son of Kedron were Friday evening visitors with Ralph Somerville. - Neil Johnston of Cadmuyg visited George Kilpatrick Sunday evening. - Fee hike (continued Councillor Gerald Jack- . man agreed that a higher fee is necessary, but added that in his opinion it just as important that the Village update service fees and re- "quirements of subdivion de- velopments. Mr. Jackman also expressed concern that the Village is not realizing any additional revenues from development outside the Village boundaries. Councillor Howard Hall expressed the same concern, and wondered if there would be some way the Village could apply a development fee to water connections in Reach Township. This is not the first time Reeve Kenny has raised the question of a development fee hike, and he urged Coun- cil to take some immediate action. It was agreed that a meet- ing be held to discuss the matter further, and also to discuss subdivision agree- ments regarding service fees and requirements. ART'S PLUMBING - HEATING Item: In 1970, the US consumed 15 million bbl. of oil each day, and by 1980 will demand 25 million bbl. daily, yet the US will-be able to produce less than half ~ of the oil in needs. With other industrial nations gulping -- oil at a proportionately alarming rate, how long before the sources are depleted? Item: In 1971 the US used 22.1 trillion cubic feet of _natural gas. Reserves of natural gas are estimated to be 247 trillion cubic feet. Even if present US consumption remains the same, the United States will deplete its known reserves in little more than ga decade. Canadians tend to look upon hydro power as.a-safe,- clean method of creating energy. But elsewhere in the world, a great proportion of electric power is created|-- by the burning of fossil fuels, and this is a messy, dirty, 'wasteful process. With reserves of energy producing fuels on the decline, will the world ever run out? Yes, say some experts. And what then? What kind of environmental havoc will the search for new reserves create? them to industrialized areas is something else again. Oil spill is a household phrase these days, and - long-distance pipe-lines through wilderness areas create a real threat to the delicate balance of nature. How then is man going to create the power needed to drive his turbines, turn the wheels of his industry, fly | 'his jets, move his cars and trucks, light his homes, and make all his electronic gadgetry work? How is he going to do all this, without creating an environment unfit for any kind of life? One method is the domestic use of atomic energy, and technology in this field is far advanced. Another would be the use of solar energy, and there is even talk that the energy produced by the tides can be harnessed. Breakthroughs in these new technologies are essential if good old Mother Earth is to survive. Man must learn that if he continues to kick the heck out of the natural environment, it will soon disappear, leaving him with a barren, sterile wasteland. That is a frightening and sinister thought. Frank McCleary was a man with no legs who used f+ to support him.self by selling pencils at the corner of Queen and Yonge Streets in Toronto. I remember him. I remember him from my Toronto days when I used to wait in the freezing cold for the Queen Street tram. I remember looking at him, and wondering who he was, where he had come from, where he was going, and what twist of fate had brought him legless to that cold street corner to sell his coloured pencils. Now he's dead. The papers say he was found "beaten to death last week midst smashed bottles and glasses in his Cabbagetown rooming house. The papers also say that when he drank he was very mean and bitter. Mean or not, how could anybody beat a legless beggar to death? During my Toronto days, I probably walked by him a couple of hundred times. But I never once bought a pencil. I never once bought a pencil because I had no use for one. At least that's what I said to myself. But I guess I'm not the only person who ever walk .d by Frank McCleary and didn't buy a pencil. I wonder what excuses all the others have. Docen' anybody need pencils anymore? granted 5,000 gallons of wa- the Oshawa Road.
