2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, March 27, 1984 Parents insist on Hwy. 7A crossing The on-going problem of where to place school guards along 7A high- way continues to haunt council. Brenda Lefort once again has asked for the guard on 7A at the rear of RH. Cornish School. | Mrs. Lefort requested that council moves the presént guard at the rear of Cornish east to Ottawa Street, and to move the area at the corner of 7A and Oshawa Road south about 200 feet to the old crossing near the pedes- trian exit from Apple Valley. = Council has been with the cross- wrestling ing problem for about six weeks and have Wetlands may be filled Ducks Unlimited (Canada) and the Labrador Retriever Club (Ontario) through the Ministry of Natural Resources, Lindsay district, are proposing to construct a series of ear- thfill dykes in a wetland system on Lot 19, Con- cession 11 of Scugog Township (formerly Reach Township). The wetland drains, primarily through seepage, northward to the Layton River which in turn drains into Lake Scugog via the Nonquon River. The earthfill dykes would permit Ducks Unlimited (Canada) to control water levels behind the dykes which would im- prove the ability of the wetland to act as water- fowl habitat.

The treasurer will introduce a new budget for Ontario in late April or early May, and he wants to find out what is on the minds of people in a wide variety of walks of life. Included with the invitations was a copy of a pre-budget statement presented to the Legis- lature by Mr. Grossman last December which addresses issues and outlines some of the directions the province will follow when the new budget comes down this spring. This grass-roots approach to a budget preparation is some- thing unique, an effort to get input from as many individuals as possible.

Un- fortunately those whom claim to be the experts disagree with the parents on where the crossings are safest for the children. At the y meet- ing, Mrs. Lefort told council they had the support of Rev. Stuart McIntyre, Scugog's representative at the Durham Board of Education; Mr. Quinn, principal at the Immac- ulate Conception School and the office of Ross , MPP. Council was quick to point out to the group that they had just received three letters from Mr. Harry Kieze- brink, principal at R.H. Cornish disagreeing with all of the recom- mendations in regards to changing the guards locations. "I know," Mrs. Lefort said, "I have spoken with vice-principal Ian Cooke, and it seems that he and Mr. Kiezebrink are the only men that disagree with our recommendations." Mayor Jerry Taylor told the group that it was very hard for : council to make a dec- ision on this without the Council (From page 1) control of this piece of property. He said this site would be a good one for such a facility, and noted that the property presently is in a state of neglect. The proposal unveiled by Mr. Shepherd shows a building 153 by 115 feet with four squash courts, lounge, exercise room, lockers and change rd \ [PRICES PER PERSON DEPARTURE DATES JUNE 14 JUNE IN ays any 12 nay ae 'a LY 2% | GUST 2 Departs Toronto Thursday ~ Returns from Amsterdam Saturday.
