A "A Family Tradition for 128 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, May 16,, 1995-5 Five in the running as Ward 2 byelection nears By Jeff Mitchell Port Perry Star Election day is just a week away for Ward 2 residents. Next Tuesday (May 23) is when people living in the ward, comprised of the neighborhoods in south Port Perry and Prince Albert, go to the polls to choose a successor for former Ward 2 rep Marilyn Pearce, who vacat- ed the position when she was named Scugog's Regional coun- cillor a couple of months ago. Five people are in the run- ning for the position, and have been knocking on doors in the area in the weeks leading up to the byelection vote. They are: a Jeff Brown, a 24-year-old Port Perry resident who promis- es to bring a new approach and perspective to the council table; a Ken Carruthers, the former Ward 1 councillor who was defeated by Doug Moffatt in last November's general munic- ipal election. He cites his expe- rience as a municipal politician; a Jim Grosvenor, a retired firefighter who unsuccessfully ran against Mrs. Pearce in the 1994 vote. He campaigned last fall on a platform that called for more support for recreation, and fiscal responsibility; ao Elgin Knopp, a political newcomer who has lived in the township for 18 years. Mr. Knopp would push for a balance between commercial and resi- dential development in the growing ward; a Ruth Mark, who has lived in the area for more than 50 years, who promises to take the views of constituents to the council table, and calls for con- trolled development in the area. An advance poll for the byelection was held at Scugog's municipal offices in Port Perry on Saturday, and another is planned for Thursday. All-candidates' meeting Wed. night ~NE= Ward 2 voters will have a chance to meet the candidates looking to represent them on the local council when an all-candidates" meeting is held tomorrow night in Port Perry. As of Sunday four of the five people running in next Tuesday's Ward 2 byelection had confirmed attendance at the meeting, slated to take place Wednesday night at 7:30 in the Latcham Centre. The meeting is being organized by Ward 2 resi- dent Tyler Briley, who said the forum will provide ward residents with an opportunity to get more acquainted with the five byelection hopefuls. They are: Jeff Brown, Ken Carruthers, Jim Oy Grosvenor, Elgin Knopp and Ruth Mark. "It's just an introduction to the candidates," said Mr. Briley. "In the subdivisions there are a lot of people new to town, and they don't know who the heck these candidates are." The meeting will allow candidates a few minutes to make addresses to the audience, and then ques- tions will be directed their way. Mr. Briley predicted issues such as police and fire services, local taxation, and a safe school crossing on Hwy. 7A will be among the issues discussed. Water study seeks expansion By Kelly Lown Port Perry Star Port Perry's water treatment plant is in for upgrades which will pro- vide 4dditional sewage treatment capacity for a serviced population of 10,000. A study, prepared by MacViro Consultants Inc., showed the existing sew- age treatment capacity in the town is inadequate to accomodate the projected sewage flows for a future population of 10,000. The project is intended to develop and implement an economically and envi- ronmentally acceptable sewage treatment strate- gy that will accomodate future growth in Port Perry. The existing plant has the capacity for a popula- tion of 7,000 which in- cludes residential popula- tion and an allowance for commercial/industrial de- velopment. Based on Durham Re- gion's five-year accelerat- ed development scenario, itis estimated the existing plant would be fully uti- lized by 1998. The study, coupled with public input and council approval, showed the need to upgrade and ex- pand the treatment plant on the existing Water Pol- lution Control Plant site. The new treatment plant will consist of secondary and tertiary treatment and seasonal storage ponds. The facility, proposed to cost $7.9 million, will be fi- nanced from the Region sewer user rates and new residential lot levies. The current Regional capital financing policy utilizes * water user rates and de- velopment charge levies applied uniformly across the region. y Subject to comments re- ceived by June 9 and nec- essary approvals, the Re- gion will proceed with the final design and construc- tion of the project. The project is now at the stage where the environ- mental study report is available to the public and review agencies for a 30- day review period.
