v /. i '] 2 2 Volume 106 - PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, Wednesday, July 19, 1972 - No. 39 Council receives assurance at + meeting with environment officials Port Perry Council has received assurance from Ministry of the Environment officials that construction of anew well by the Ministry to provide water for Port Perry and areas of Reach Township does not mean the Ministry is endorsing or giving approval to the shopping plaza and residential development pro- posed for Reach Township just south of Port Perry. This was the outcome of the meeting held last Thursday in Toronto between members of Council and Evironment personnel. Council had requested the meeting for the purpose of further discussing several recommendations that had come out of a prior meeting whereby the Ministry was to go ahead with the construc- tion of a new well, at the same time imposing how much water Port Perry would get and how much Reach would get, if Port Perry and Reach could not come. to 'ap agreement themselves on this matter, which they were unable to do. : Council had feared that should the Ministry go ahead with therecommendations, it would be taken for granted that the Ministry was appro- ving the residential and commercial development where presumably the water allocated for Reach Town- ship would be used. Councillors Howard Hall and Gerald Jackman, who are maintaining their strong opposition to the commercial development were both pleased at the outcome of the meeting stating that approval of the development rests with the Department of Planning. Both Councillors Star closing for vacation No publication will appear on Wednesday, August 16. The office will be closed from Friday evening, Aug- ust 11, until Monday morning, August 21. During this period the management and staff of the Port Perry Star will enjoy a sum- mer vacation. The next issue will be published on Wednesday, August 23. "Advertising norma- lly required for the week of the closing should therefore be inserted the previous week, the August 9th issue. Customers who may require printing about the time of closing, please, - place orders early so jobs may be completed prior to vacation time. Most Port Perry residents would have to agree that the road paving crew presently at work on the Village streets is a welcome sight. About five miles of streets are fo be paved this summer, with this phase now more Hall and Jackman expressed confidence the Department will rule against the devel- opment on the basis it is bad planning. (A formal ob- jection to the development was passed by Council two weeks ago). : Reeve Robert Kenny who is becoming increasingly per- turbed over the entire issue said approval of the devel- opment has now been thrown back to the Planning Depart- ment. "It was a good meeting, a good discussion," said the Reeve. However, Mr. Kenny ex- pressed concern over the fact that in his opinion, construc- tion of the new well, which Port Perry badly needs, is at a standstill. And this, he said goes back tothe fact that Port Perry and Reach have been unable to come to any . agreement on cost sharing of the well. '"'How can a well be built if it hasn't been determined who'll be paying what to- 'wards financing?" he asked: Despite steps that Port Perry might take to get the well construction under way, (continued on page 6) Hospital Report | Week Ending July 13 Admissions .............. 30 Births ..................

With the new surfaces there might be a tendency to drive faster and motorists should keep speeds at a safe level, at all times watching for small children. The land-Reach is request- ing tobere-zoned is owned by Athika Enterprises on the west side of the Oshawa Road, south of Port Perry. Athika is planning, a resi- dential and commercial de- velopment on this land. Reach Township Clerk- treasurer, Vic Malcolm said notices of re-zoning were sent out to all property owners living within 400 feet of the lands to be re-zoned, and as well to the abutting munici- pality, and various official agencies. Objections had to be filed within two weeks of the by-law passing on June 29. Fire damage to tractor A fire Monday morning caused extensive damage to atractor owned by Mr. Bruce Cummings of RR 2, Port Perry. Mr. Cummings was using the small Massey tractor to mow grass at the Fair Grounds when a spark igni- ted fumes apparently coming from the gas tank. He said this caused "quite an explosion," with flames shooting in the air. Mr. Cummings jumped off the back of the tractor and was not injured. The Port Perry Reach and Scugog Fire Department was summoned and the fire was put out with buckets of water. Damage was to the rear wheels, the steering wheel and column and also to the motor. The extent is not known. APE pv tush Objection-to Reach re-zoning Speaking for Van Edwards Investments Ltd., Mr. Ted Griffen said it - feels the development is poor planning in that servicing would have to be made across vacant land, and also that Van Edwards feels if the proposed development were given all the water it needs, this could curtail availibility of water for other developers. Objections from the Port Perry Planning Board and from the Village Council were also based on the planning aspect of the de- velopment. The Ontario Municipal Board will consider the objections when it considers the application for the re- zoning, and a public hearing - could result. Agreeonnew salary terms The Ontario County Board of Education has announced terms of a wage agreement withits elementary teachers. The new schedule provides increases of from $400 to $1,300 in various classifica- lions. The basic minimum is now $5,500. The maximum is $15,300. The salary range for principals extends from 15,750 to $20,650. No settlement has yet been reached with the Board's secondary school teachers. According to a recent an- nouncement, both parties have agreed to proceed to conciliation, and no further information will be released until a schedule is finalized. 0 Twn SN YT - NERS on DCS GHEE = Ee: La Ad oe
