Statement from Tony Cesaroni In a full-page advertise- ment appearing elsewhere in this issue of the Star, Tony Cesaroni denies charges by Dr. Morton Shulman that he and his brother Sam had any connection with violence in the construction industry in Toronto.

The shopping center is slated to open in 1973 at the corner of North and Water Streets. The project developer is Tony Cesaroni. As reported recently in the Star, the plan foundered somewhat when council met with Provincial Government officials two weeks ago. The officials rejected the idea, stating that too much traffic would be spawned, that they had been led to believe the area was zoned residential, that the lakefront park would and Ed Mulholland." suffer, etc. Then they turned down the plan. B. Dymond, MPP To counter this and sal- vage the sinking project, council decided to apply directly to the Minister of Inter-Governmental Affairs, who possesses the power of veto. This was one of two alternatives; the OMB could also rule on the matter. As a result, the Port Perry dele- gation met with Mr. Donald Irvine, the Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister, last week.

Does the Doctor think Perryview Plaza will be beneficial to Port Perry? "I am in favor of anything that will stimulate growth and development in the village," he replied. "The decision must be reached at the local level, by village council. Local councils should be given back some of their powers, which have been eroded. Regional govern- ments (which I favor) will, I think, accomplish this."

Port Perry is again over for another year. And again it was another success thanks to the Chamber of Commerce and participants. Almost 30 entries, includ- ing 25 floats plus six bands took part in the parade down Queen Street. Particularly at the lower end of the street, a large number of Port Perry and area people were gathe- red to watch the many fine floats. The idea of handing out suckers and candy canes from the floats to "e children lining the street seems to have caught on as a feature this year. Quite a few of the floats had that little treat in store for the kiddies. Among the many floats, some were outstanding and the winner of $25. "The Kinette Train" for the best * k allround float certainly de- served winning first prize. The second prize of $15. went to the float entered by the staff of Bell Telephone Co., Newmarket area office, for the most original idea. The credit was first given to Uxbridge Auto Wreckers due to a sign at the rear of the float. This float has been entered in five different parades and was also in the Uxbridge parade just a couple of hours prior to the start in Port Perry. Third prize $10. was an individual entry by the Oddfellows Lodge. Children were lined up for quite a long time in front of the Post Office anxiously waiting to get a close look at Santa and receive a bag of goodies. While this went on the six member Clown Band from Brampton entertained and made a big hit with young and old. Many hours of work went into the making of the Kinette Club's entry in the Santa parade. It also won, and most deservedly first prize. To A a a TN Te LID A CE ET x Evia v FRE -% . -
