"A Family Tradition for 128 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, May 30, 1995 - 9 Shepherd From Page 1 either. "I guess we'll have to wait and see," he said. "Every day's a new day." Mr. Shepherd is receiving pressure from both sides on the issue. On one hand, his boss Mr. Chretien has laid down the law on how he expects Liberal members to vote. On the other, he has among his constituents a vocal group of under legal gun owners, opposed to such measures as a national registry for all firearms, and proposed criminal charges against gun owners who fail to register. Justice Minister Alan Rock softened the criminal conse- quences for those failing to register recently, but that's not likely to wash with local legis- lation foes. Mr. Shepherd has taken a stance declar- Ing uneasi- ness with the estimated cost of registering all firearms in the nation, § and has called for a detailed -- * accounting of what it will SHEPHERD cost. An inde- pendent analysis has so far not been presented by the gov- ernment. "I'still have some misgivings and they have to do with the actual cost of the bill," he said Thursday. "I don't think we're really adequately addressing the 1ssue of cost at the present time." He added that while he sup- ports softening of criminal charges for non-registration, pressure as gun vote approaches he still has concerns about search and seizure rights given police by the legislation. He hopes continued lobbying will bring about further amend- ments to the bill before it is presented for final passage. When that happens, though, the rumbers indicate the bill will pass, he said. "The best thing I can do for the legal gun owners is try and make this thing liveable." = ~-- Water woes for Seagrave family From Page 1 Caught in the middle troubling situation is Chris Elliott, 30, who moved into the old Ocean House, formerly a group home for autistic adults, with her young family in January. She and husband Dave were aware of water prob- lems on the property. Since the 1990 event two wells have been dug at the property, but neither want to go ahead, but Mrs. Elliott said the cost -- probably around $2,000 -- will be prohibitive. she wants payment from the township's insurance company to go directly to the well drillers. She said with three kids aged three, four and five, it's tough to live with a constantly limited water supply. The amount of laundry she can clean is limited, and the family has to be careful about taking showers and using water unnecessarily. "I want a well," she said. "I want water, and I don't want to pay the money out first. "It's been one thing after another," said Mrs. Elliott, who moved here from Scarborough. "Eventually they're going to have to give us a well, no matter what." Mr. Francis said the Elliotts will have to be patient, given the condi- tions well drillers are dealing with in Seagrave, "I know the Elliotts have been frustrated, but we're working to solve that problem," he said. "We've done our best, and I think are arriving at a situation where the Ocean House in Seagrave is the only place yet to be rectified," he added. "We can only do our best, and rely on the so- called experts in the field." ¥ ~ LISHMANS Limited Time Only Fur Yarn Sale %* yields water needed for the sprawling century 'WEEKEND STAR' | "A Gallery of Functional Art" Er san us 1d like to thank all | | CLASSIFIED AD Beds ana System Dad beer con- \ Ward 2 supporters for a DEADLINES 2 Now Open 7 Days aR emned by the Ministry . a of the Environment, and the nce shown in me : WEDNESDAY - 10 AM ~_ CT the confide spent $800 having repairs made.
