ea... eT Lu 18 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, May 9, 1989 Letters to the Editor Totally opposed to Cartwright re-zoning for truck yard To the Editor: Re: Letters by Bonnie Hudson and Debbie Nicholson regarding the re-zoning of prime agricultural land for the operation of a "trucking business" May 2, 1989 edition. With reference to Ms. Hudson's letter, may I quote the words of a famous Bard, "Methinks thou doth protest too much." It is indeed unfortunate that Ms Hudson has chosen to take my let- ter so personally. My letter was merely written to protest the re- zoning of this land to "industrial" and was in no way meant as a "flagrant attack on her integrity, character and word." We are in no way fighting any war - we only wish the opportuni- ty of voicing our opposition to the re-zoning of this land and would suggest that we be accorded this opportunity as indeed Ms. Hudson has been accorded the opportuni- ty of voicing her opinion. Ms. Hudson is correct, this is Canada, and because of the wonderful democratic county we live in it is possible for both her and I to speak our minds. Moving on the Ms. Nicholson's letter, in the same edition of the Star, she may well be, in her words, "somewhat biased" being the daughter of Mr. Sutton. Indeed, the proposed trucking business may consist of only two trucks and Mr. Nicholson states that "he does not want to expand his business" - how can we be cer- tain of this? Is it not conceivable that in the future Mr. Sutton's business may prosper (and we hope it does, but not in our area) and that he may wish to expand. It is also pointed out by Ms. Nicholson that the Township sheds are adjacent to our proper- ty, however, when we chose to purchase our property we were aware of the Township sheds but nevertheless we did purchase our home and property fully aware of what was adjacent to us. Now we are asked to accept a re-zoning of the land adjacent to us and are assured that the business to be there would not change things - have you ever heard of the "thin edge of the wedge?" Should the land be re- zoned, the door could be opened for all sorts of undesirable opera- tions, not to mention the ultimate decrease in the value of our property. The parents of Ms. Nicholson have every right to relocate in view of the fact that a sub-division is being built behind them! However, I suggest they look a lit- tle further. There is ample land already zoned '"'industrial"' why would Mr. Sutton wish to upset law abiding, tax paying citizens by inflicting his will on us by We oo the URAC stated and sre those and bls taxes., Airfarés advertised m h See your esas he foot toc i, Shores DY Min pons mscdns, 1s vo ato o No. §; eg Hogistration numbers availsble departures.

I would ask you to consider the wishes of us - Mr. Sutton has a choice we do not. With reference to the last state- ment of Ms. Nicholson "would you rather have them on a back road beside your sheds or in a small hamlet backing onto a subdivi- sion" my answer is this. We may live on a "back road' but we like things just the way they are and would respectfully suggest that if Mr. Sutton is unable to find suitable land for the re-location of his business then indeed he should stay where he is "in a small hamlet backing onto a subdivision." Again a final word - we are totally opposed to the re-zoning of this land. Surely if you consider all that has been stated above, you cannot in all good conscience fault us! D. Richards Ward 4 Scugog Township Trucking business: just the facts, ok? To the Editor: A few residents of Ward 4 ex- pressed surprise and told me they find it difficult to understand why I would be opposed to Mr. Sutton having a nice neat little house and a small gravel truck storage building and yard across the road from my home. They were astonished to learn that our op- position is due not only to the gravel truck business; but in fact mainly due to the re-zoning and amendment to the Region of Durham Official Plan. Facts are what base my opposition. The Ministry of Agriculture has deemed this land to be prime agriculture rated at 80 per cent, and this field has been worked almost every year in the 17 we (Turn to page 19) Grand Opening Special ...

Even the best dyes and the most resistant fabrics will eventually show fading when ex- posed to strong sunlight or artificial light over a period of time. The most ob- vious victims are curtains and draperies. Sun fading happens over a period of time and is not readily noticed. Some- times only after curtains or draperies are cleaned and rehung is the fading no- ticed. The color loss may become more noticeable when surface soil is re- moved. » - Some clothes closets face windows and this can be, dangerous because clothes can fade just in the areas that are exposed to more light, such as along the wet A Shady Story PORT CLEANERS 255 Queen Street, Port Perry 985-7105 10% SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNT {5h hn A member of the Intemational Fabricare Institute, tE: : the association of professional drycleaners and launderers, outer sleeve. It's best to shade a closet and keep the lights out. Many casual clothes start out faded by prewash- ing, and others are actually improved as the fabric softens with wear and the colors fade with ex- posure. But if you want to keep colors deep and bright, be wary of artificial light and sunlight.
