July 18,1973 -- No.39 Port Pery council has accepted the tender of the K.J. Beamish Co. Ltd. to pave a number of roads in the village at a total cost of $46,995.40. Beamish submit- ted the lowest of two ten- ders. The company will recon- struct and pave Union Street from Sexton to Major, John Street from Shanley to Scugog and Simcoe Street North from Queen to Macdonald. All of Water, Kaleb and Simcoe Street South will be paved as well as Arrow and part of Lorne Streets, Queen Street between Lilla and Simcoe and Shanley from Lilla to John streets. The tender was accepted at the July 10 meeting of council. Other business con- ducted at the same meeting included approval of a Chamber of Commerce re- quest to close off Queen Street east of Perry St. and Water St. from Queen to the arena for a mall during Western weekend, August 10 to 12. An offer to buy the vil- lage's old bulldozer for $1,000 was accepted. It is estimated that the pur- chaser will have to spend 3 to 4 thousand dollars to fix the machine. Medical Centre almost zoned residential Dr. Cohoon's Medical Centre on Paxton Street almost became illegal under Rev. Rose in running At last week's meeting of Port Perry council Rev. Reg Rose apologized to our reporter for the fact that he had missed the deadline for our election candidates story, then handed him a note which says simply, "I will run." Mr. Rose, an Anglican minister, is serving his first term on council this year. & proposed changes in the village's new official plan. The four year old medical centre has been on land which was zoned for com- mercial use. The new plan listed it as neighbourhood residential. Dr. Cohoon explained to council at its July 10 meet- ing that he not only hopes to keep the centre where it is, he hopes to enlarge it and add a pharmacy probably in about a year. Council will take the nec- essary steps to see that the area remains commercial in the new plan. "Will pave village roads The fairgrounds will no longer get free water. Be- cause the stables are being rented on a commercial basis the Port Perry Fair Board will begin being billed for water just like everyone else. A public meeting will be held July 27 to discuss plans -of Tony Ceasaroni to deve- lop land near the water- front. Rustlers caught When East Whitby Police went to a Newtonville farm to investigate another mat- ter they found three men just finishing up the butch- ering of a three month old calf which had been taken from the farm of Lloyd Evans a couple of hours earlier. The three were arrested and the meat re- covered before' the thieves could even taste the stolen veal. : WHEELS STOLEN While all this was going on, last Saturday night someone helped himself to $291 worth of chrome wheels and tires from Zering Pontiac in Port Perry. The thief lifted the wheels right off a car on Zering's lot. O.P.P. from Whitby are investigating. FR WY et de EN A ' A ¥ > A Rl wo LA A oy ww ¥ yar RIT WA Dymond calls for greater local control Dr. Matthew B. Dymond reminded the Ontario Gov- ernment during debate on the bill to force regional government on this area last month that, "all know- ledge is not vested in the senior levels of govern- ment is to have any benefit at all,. he said, it will have to give local councils the power to take care of more things on their own. "Peo- ple at the regional level are far more aware of and more knowledgeable of what is involved," that civil ser- OWRC policy discussed by council An apparent inconsist- ancy in the policy of the Ontario Water Resources Commission caused a bit of confusion at Port Perry's July 10 council meeting. Mr. Bob Howsam of Ottawa Street reported to council that about a year ago the commission in- formed him that he had to pay $411 installation fee to bring a sewer line up the street to his property line. There would be an addit- ional fee to run a sewer line from the property line to Mr. Howsams house. Last month another homeowner in the same area had a line extended to his property line under sim- ilar circumstances, free of charge. Now a neighbour is about to hook onto the line Mr. Howsam paid for, also at no charge. "It doesn't seem right to me that in one instance they bring it to the property line for noth, and in the other instance they charge $411," commented Reeve Robert Kenny. "I don't agree with it at all," said Deputy reeve Phil Orde who suggested that the village ask Queens Park to be more consistant in its policy. Council decided to act on Mr. Orde's sugges- tion. Work underway at new ball diamond WORK PROGRESSING at the new Ball Park at the south end of Palmer Park. The new building is just about up and excavations for sewer and water lines are under way, but council has no idea when the field will actually be ready for use. vants in Toronto would be, Dr. Dymond said. Dr. Dymond pointed out what he called some incon- sistencies in the bill, partic- ularly in regard to the fact that the borders of the region and the borders of the school board are not the same, and called for re examination of the bound- aries. However, despite the inconsistencies he supported the regional government bill stressing that, "I am more than ever insistent that as much responsibility be placed in the hands o the two local levels of govern- ment," as possible. 20 years in Canada Rev. Wm. Black passes On Monday afternoon, July 16th, at the Community Memorial Hospital, Port Perry, the Rev. William Black, Minister of St. John's Presbyterian Church, Port Perry, and Burn's Pres- byterian Church, Ashburn, departed this life and went to live with the Master he served so faithfully. Mr. Black was born in Lanarkshire, Scotland, and. received his education at St. Andrew's University and the University of Edin- burgh. As a young man he had spent several years as a missionary in Australia. Following the completion of his academic and theo- logical training in Scotland he was ordained into the Ministry of the Free Pres- byterian Church and held pastorates in Glasgow and Edinburgh. In 1953 he and his family came to Canada and served in Cranbrook, B.C. After- wards he was called to REV. WM. BLACK Aldershot, Ontario and then to Dresden, Ontario. In 1967 he received a call from the Pastoral Charge of Port Perry and Ashburn and was inducted into this Charge on July 27th, 1967. Mr. Black had an excep- (continued on page 23) Reach Official Plan at public meeting The council and planning board of Reach Township will conduct what could be the most futile exercise in history when they host a public meeting to look at a proposed official plan at the Township Office in Man- chester July 26. The proposed plan des- cribes itself in its own in- troduction as a temporary Tenders let for new wells It will cost the people of Port Perry and Reach Township an extra $24,000 to install two new wells for the public water system, be- cause the waterworks com- mittee did not have faith in the ability of the lowest bid- der to complete the project. At its July 10 meeting Port Perry council accepted the tender of International Water Supply of $90,910 to install the new wells. Inter- national bid was $24,000 more than the other tender, which was an unnamed. It will cost an additional $40,000 to renovate the old pump houses at well num- ber 1 on Cedar Creek road and well number 2 on the Oshawa Road for use with the new facilities. The new wells, to be known as num-. bers 4 and 5, will be close to the original wells. The cost will be collected over the next 30 years in the form of water rate increases. plan to be in effect, 'Until such time as Local Govern- ment Reform has been instituted and the Regional Official Plan approved for the proposed region." : The chances of the Reach Official Plan being approved before regional government takes effect are almost nil. If the township gets by the July 26 meeting with anything short of a riot breaking out they will approve the plan in council in August. Then they will send it to Queens Park. Then all the civil servants will go on vacation. Then we will have a new election for regional council. Then regional council will begin to meet on October 15. Then the new council will take office January 1. Then Reach Township will no longer exist and who cares about the official plan for municipality which does not exist. Copies of the plan that will never be implemented are available from the Township office at $5.00 a copy. The public meeting will probably begin at about 8 p.m. Questions from the floor must be submitted to the chairman in writing. 3 Hospital Report Week Ending July 12th Admissions .............. 36 Births ................
