Five instead of four Quick now. What ward does Don Cochrane represent on Scugog Township council? If you said he doesn't repre- sent any ward, you're right. He represents all of Scugog Township, and his title is area councillor, a position elected at large, unlike the four ward seats. . But he thinks it is time for Scugog to do away with the area council seat, juggle the boun- daries and create five wards rather than the present four. "People say the area coun- cil seat is some kind of a step- ping stone, but I can tell you it's not, At times I feel like a bump on a log," he said Monday after- noon. And his fellow councillors agreed that the time has come to do away with this seat and create five wards. But that's a long process, one that will require public meetings and eventually the ap- prove) of the Ontario Municipal ard. Council agreed Monday to put the wheels in motion, and administrator Earl Cuddie said the process might be completed by the time Township residents go to the polls again in 1991. There were several sugges- tions thrown out at Monday's meeting on how to re-arrange the ward boundaries. The area council seat was created back in 1974 at the time of amalgamation. Snowmobile by-law (From page 1) in the country can't be done in town," she stated. The proposed new by-law was drafted earlier this spring following complaints to the Township during the winter of snowmobilers speeding on streets and sidewalks, endag- nering pedestrians and young children near the schools. The Township also re- - ceived complaints of snowmo- bilers crossing and damaging private property. Several of the letters writ- ten in opposition to the pro- posed by-law state that it is un- fair to penalize law abiding machine owners just because of the foolishness of a small minor- ity. Township administrator Earl Cuddie said persons wish- ing to speak at the June 5 meet- ing should contact the Townhip ahead of time, and it was sug- gested that the Port Perry Snowmobile Club appoint a spokesperson to present the ar- guments to council.

But when there was a sug- gestion that Port Perry (Ward 2) should have two seats, the ru- ral reps balked and opted in- stead to create the area, or elect- ed at large seat. Ward 1 councillor Neil Hunter said Monday that back in 1974, the council "didn't have the guts" to carve up the old Townships. But he said times have changed and it's time create five wards and do away with the area council position. The Township will ask for puElie input on possible new undaries for five wards in Scugog Township. By the way, in case you didn't know, Reach is now called Ward 1, Port Perry is Ward 2, Scugog Island is Ward 3 and Cartwrightis Ward 4. PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday.
