2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, May 15, 1984 (From page 1) evening, noted that Dr. Dyuiond's 11 years as Ontario Health Minister was the longest anyone has ever held that Cabinet Portfolio. He said that Dr. Dymond was a colourful politician with tremen- dous enthusiasm who had little patience for bureacratic delays. "Don't tell me I can't do this or that, just tell me how to do it", he used to say. Mr. Norton said Dr. Dymond often found himself in the middle of political scraps, but he "never held a grudge" once they were over. Mr. Norton, who as a Claremont teenager worked on political campaigns for Dr. Dy- mond in the old Ontario riding, delivered a warm, sincere and easy- going speech that touch- ed on most of Dr. Dymond's accomplish- 'ments in public life, including his work in introducing the Ontario Dr. Dymond and his wife Jeanne were guests of honour. The event was billed as a Scottish evening of tribute to this well known Port Perry couple. Natural trends, offbeat ... on target!

The evening was bill- ed as a "non political affair ', but there was more than just a sprink- ling of politicians and former politicians in attendance including George Ashe, Robert Welch, Tom Wells, Ross Stevenson, Bill New- man, Allan Lawrence, Walter Beath, Mike Starr and Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor. Dr. Dymond spoke briefly, thanking all those who attended the evening and calling it 'a very, very happy mom- ent for Jeanne and myself'. He said he still bel ieves that "politics is one of the highest forms of service', despite all the nastiness that seems to surround it these days. Dr. Dymond was born in Scotland and came to Canada as a very young man. He worked on farms and at other jobs before deciding to go into medicine at Queens University.

Ms. Robinson told the hearing that the Central Lake Ontario Conser- vation Authority warn- ed two years ago that the proposed develop- ment is too large and should be scaled down because of the potential negative effect on wild- life in the area. She also noted that the Kawartha Conservation Authority expressed concern because the area is the headwaters for the Nonquon River, Lynde Creek and near- by Chalk Lake. The Authority expressed concern about the steep- ly sloping lands and highly erodable soil con- ditions. Mr. McQuay repeated several times during his testimony last week that while the area is envir- onmentally sensitive, potential problems could be averted during and after construction. He said there are four lots out of the 76 that are low enough to present problems, but these could "be overcome' with proper filling. The hearing which began last Monday (May 7) is expected to continue this week and may conclude by Fri- day. The development has received approval from Durham Region in the form of an Official Plan amendment and from Scugog Council through a change in the Town- ship zoning by-law. About 60 property owners in the Chalk Lake area are opposed to the development and have asked the Ontario Municipal Board for a ruling.
