At a council meeting Monday afternoon council voted unanimously to rename Goreski Sideroad to Bryant Sideroad, Railway Bed to Old Rail Lane, Caesar Lane to Washago Bay Lane, and Emerson Beach Lane to Emerson Lane. 1 A decision was to be reached on October 5, but opposition by a resident on one of the streets forced council to delay the decision. A public hearing was held on September 28 to rename these streets, but confusion prompted council to delay the decision. When the township had originally announced its intention to change the name of Caesar Lane, Allan Edwards, a Caesar Lane resident, opposed the change citing a number of reasons | including the costs of the procedure and public meeting. | | Upon learning of this opposition, residents who were seeking | | the name change, decided to back off, arguing the costs were |b unnecessary. | But after learning the public meeting was to go ahead as planned, they decided to forge ahead with their opposition. Unaware of this reversal, Mr. Edwards did not attend the public meeting, believing the issue was resolved. He then demanded another public meeting be called claiming he was not given fair notice of the meeting. To avoid controversy, council decided to call another meeting for October 19, which it heard both sides of the argument. Residents in favor of the name change pointed out that | Caesar Lane is often connected with Caesarea, but this 1s confusing as the lane is approximately 10 kilometres east of Caesarea. They have fears it could prove costly in the event of an emergency. The residents also argued the street names in the township commonly referred to pertinent family names. But Mr. Edwards said he strongly opposed the name Washago Bay due to various reasons including the connection it would apply to the Washago Bay Cottage Association, which he noted was currently in a legal bind. He further noted that he was "angry" by the apparent underhandedness in which the neighbors acted. He noted he would support any other name, however. In a unanimous vote, council approved the bylaw to renaming the streets including Washago Bay Lane. Council wants traffic study Scugog Council 1s calling upon the Ministry of Transportation to conduct another traffic study on Highway 7A | near east of Port Perry. Concern has been expressed in recent weeks concerning the { high traffic volumes and parked cars along the side of the road. These cars are owned by patrons of the newly opened Port Perry Country Market. The ministry had conducted an earlier study, but it was done before the market had opened. "I think we have to ask the ministry to take another look. It has changed since their survey," Ward 2 Councillor Marilyn Pearce said. The study will help the ministry determine whether the speed limit in the area should be reduced. Shooting range shot down By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star Scugog Council has denied a request for a private shooting range on a resident's property in Seagrave. Paul Flieler, who owns a par- cel of land south of Cookson Lane, had been seeking a bylaw amendment to allow a practice shooting range in a nearby grav- el pit. But council turned down Mr. Flieler's request after waiting more than three months. Mr. Flieler was seeking to use the gravel pit as a private shoot- ing range where he and mem- bers of his family could practice shooting. He is currently al- lowed to hunt on his property but he was seeking a bylaw amendment which would allow target practice. Short list is on schedule From Page 3 The IWA had originally planned to announce the sites in late September, but put it off until the end of November. But the IWA does not view the delay as a stumbling block and instead believes the delay was beneficial to the process. "If we didn'tlook at all aspects of the public comment, it would never get by the environmental assessment," he said adding if they hadn't done it now, it would invariably have to be donein the future. Despite the delay, Mr. Steele is adamant the end of Novem- ber will be the date. He was un- able to speculate how many of the 17 sites in Durham would be on the final list, but said it would be between four to six sites. The IWA is still planning to announce the final landfill site for Durham Region in late spring or early summer, Mr. Steele said.

October 31 . 1992. A representative from the Chief Provincial Firearms Of- fice had inspected the site in mid-September and made a number of requests concerning the property. These included in- creasing the height of the back- stop, using paper targets only, and constructing a covered shooting house to ensure richo- chet was not possible. Mr. Flieler agreed to conform with all these stipulations. But throughout the applica- tion process, the proposal met with stiff opposition from neigh- borsin the area. Norm Phillips," owner of Northwood Buffalo Ranch, an exotic animal farm, expressed his opposition to council citing a number of safety reasons. He says the gravel pit is only 300 feet-away from his driveway and 1,000 feet from his house, which is on a 45 degree angle from the area. Both his kitchen window and his childrens' bed- room overlook the pit. Mr. Phillips is concerned stray bullets could fly in the di- rection of his property. He pointed to two incidents in Can- ada in the last five months of richochetting bullets, which in- cluded one fatality. Mr. Flieler did not make a presentation to council, but promised to support the condi- tions stipulated in the letter from the Firearms Office. Ward 1 Councillor Ken Car- ruthers, whose ward the pit is located in, moved a motion to disallow the request claiming that his constituents are al- ready troubled with other gun complaints from nearby farms and felt it was time to take ac- tion. Council subsequently voted 4-2 against the proposal. Talk to us about your hang-ups aX No matter what kind of special keepsake you cherish, you should see us. Chances are it can be framed.
