6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Oct. 2, 1984 lette S Woods takes over at School Not opposed... (From page 5) ance. I wonder if he would remain there if the local population swelled suddenly and unexpectedly to twice its present size. Most of us choose to live where we are because Port Perry is a small town or because our area is rural. If it was decided that over a five year period it would be a suburb of Oshawa we would likely oppose the idea. The residents of Step- henson's Point chose to live along a road with sixteen neighbours and not a small subdivision of thirty-seven homes and it is obvious in our determined response to the proposed that we be forced to do so because local speculators feel it would be to their own advantage that it be allowed to happen. I am sure that the residents of Gerrow's Beach would rather not see any development than have their con- cerns about their well water resolved. There are alot of people at Williams Point opposed to a rezoning to allow a small development. I hope that the Scugog Council takes serious note of the general feeling of opposition that their constituents in these areas have to the proposed changes that speculators have asked them to approve. Yours truly, M.H. Krempowich, R.R.3, Port Perry. The new separate school Principal appointed to Port Perry and Brooklin for Sept- ember 1984 is a 33 year veteran of many schools in many lands. Mr. Woods who was educat- ed in Dublin, began his teaching career in Ireland. Four years later he emmigrated to Latin America. He taught High School and grade school in Argen- tina and Uruguary for seven years before re- turning to Nottingham, England in 1961. His next assignment was Finn College Ballybofey in Ulster, before sailing for Canada in 1963. Shortly afterwards he was appointed Vice- Principal of St. Francis in Oshawa. He became Principal of St. Leo's in 1963, and then moved to Uxbridge and stayed on as Principal of St. Joseph's for 13 years. For the past 3 years he Cartoon puts the cart before the horse ... Dear Sir: Regarding your Editorial cartoon of Sept. 25 I would like to comment as follows: It seems to me that the cartoon failed to accurately depict the situation on Stephenson Point Rd. Mr. Platten has drawn the "cart before the horse' or in other words he has put the wrong people on the Bulldozer! The Residents are attempting to defend their environment against the personal interests of two land speculators. Messrs. Dave Haynes and Jerry Taylor are the ones who want to change the present "'rural" zoning to "Residential" so that they can sell 21 building lots (not homes). There- fore it is they who, if successful, will be using Bulldozers, not us. By the way, in the interests of accuracy, my name is spelled with a "T" in the middle. A further inaccuracy occurred in your front page article of Sept. 18th. At the bottom of column 2 you quoted me as saying "WE contend there is a necessity in the public interest to rezone...' The quote should have said "We contend there is NO necessity in the public interest..." Your paper was given a typed copy of our 14-page Brief and it is regrettable there- fore that this serious error occurred. Our Brief which was presented to Council on Sept. 10th and wich involved a lot of vork and research by many people, set out a number of sound legal and political reasons why this Application for re- zoning should be reject- ed. In the absence of any reasons at all put for- ward by the applicants ---e -- other than the implic- ation that two people should be given per- mission to make a profit - we are still hopeful that Council will reject this particular applic- ation for Re-zoning. Yours Truly, Brad Heintzman, R.R.3, Port Perry. Death penalty Dear Sir: Victims of Violence Organization, from its beginning, has had as one of its goals, a National Referendum on Capital Punishment for all persons convicted of first degree murder. With the recent murders of 3 Metropolitan Tor- onto area police offic- ers, the Police Depts. and the public are calling for the reinstate- ment of the death pen- alty. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney stated he would be willing to have a free vote in Parlia- ment. We feel on such an important issue as this, it should be put to the public. We do not believe that a free vote in Parliament is a true democratic process and do not think that any one person should be allow- ed to vote for another person, whether it be an elected member of Parl- iament or not. The Politicians will vote according to their conscience or party line. How can they decide which way their constit- uents will vote on this issue? Some constit- uents will vote yes, some will vote no. Which way will the members of Parliament vote to represent the publics' wishes? We believe every citizen has the right to vote on this very impor- tant issue. Lets have a national referendum, let the people of Canada decide. G. Kearns, Ontario Chapter Victims of Violence, P.o.
