Reader's opinion Wonders about future of Reach Twp. © Port Perry Star, Port Perry, Ontario. 'Dear Sir: Your article "Gravel Pits" was timely. May 1 however, differ with you on one point? The proposed land fill site and Reach Gravel pits are quite different issues. First, the property owner asked permission to have the site zoned for industrial waste BEFORE waste was deposited. The council showed its fairness by allowing the owner of the property and ratepayers to be heard. After all opinions were expressed a democra- tic decision was made. In the case of gravel pits in Reach, no such proced- ures was followed. Land was changed. Pits sprung up -on Agricultural and rural Residental Land. Land so zoned by Reach Keep corn cool, enjoy it fresh To bite into fresh sweet corn dripping with butter and find it tough and taste- less is a big disappoint- ment. To avoid such a let- down, food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Min- istry of Agriculture and Food offer some tips on buying, storing, and cooking sweet corn. The secret to really del- icious fresh corn on the cob is cooking and eating it right away-- the same day or within a-day of purchase. If you keep it longer, the suger in the plump kernels starts to turn to starch and you lose the tenderness and sweet flavor that make it taste so good. When you buy fresh corn, look for these signs of qua- lity: kernels that are plump, but not too large and cover the cob well; husks that look fresh and are .green -- not dried or yellow. Check the silk ends to make sure they are free from decay or worm injury. Since high temperatures speed up moisture loss -- The sales value of pro- ducts 'shipped by the Ontario forest industry is estimated at $1.6 billion annually exclusive of the products of furniture manu- facturing.

The color of the corn kernels does not indicate freshness. they may be pale or deep yellow. The important thing is brightness. When you see dry-looking corn, you can be almost certain it has lost its flavor. 3 SPH Al LOREANE A Council by its by-law 1886, passed in the early 1960s. Citizens were NOT consul-" ted as stipulated by O.M.B. rules. No one would deny any- one his right to request a zoning change but consid- eration has to be given to neighbour's property. They too have rights. Many saw the re-zoning in 1971 as an attempt to merely legalize the land changes which "just hap- pened" with no apparent official approval or public consultation. The recent actions of Queens Park in issuing Pit Licences to operators on a by-law not yet approved by Reach citizens nor approved by the O.M.B., seems like another example of the mining interests of this pro- vince being given pricrity over that of the individual rate payer. One wonders what about the future of Reach. Is it to be for People? Is it destined to be for Pits and later Garbage?
