their positions on the airport issue immediately after introductory presentations Only council candidate An thony Keene and candidate for deputy reeve Paul Hansen clearly favored the airport believe development of an airport in Cm will be good for Oro said Mr Hansen Mr Keene commented that the only way youre going to stop an airport is to go out and minethe runway He related the story of farmers group formed at the turn of the century in Oro to fight the automobile Any blind rejection of an airport in the township is exact Iy the same kind of thinking he stated Mr Keene suggested that persons working at the airport would bring businessmen and business to Oro Stating their definite 0bjec tion to the proposed airport were candidate for reeve Charles Simpson candidate for deputy reeve Allan McLean and candidates for council Mrs Barbara Tiffen Ross Bradley and Paul Kitchen FOR BARRIE Mr Simpson commented if Oro needs an airport Id be for it He expressed concern that the facility would definitely grow bigger and would be for Barrie people Mr McLean said that he op posed the airport but if they the federal overnment want it here they put it here Only the public can block it According to Mrs Tiffen an airport wouldnt add to Oro She also doubted that industry would use the facility Mr Bradley reiterated his belief that the airport at Camp Borden could accommodate both commercial and military aircraft as US bases often do recent letter by Mr Bradley to Simcoe North MP Dr Rynard on the airport question elicited the response do not believe the transport department would go ahead in view of the problems and dis agreements that would arrive suggest its to you to let your federal mem know how you feel Mr Bradley told the audience Mr Kitchen said he looked in to the issue with three

the buildings standing on it and then only if theyre used Surely it will affect ople in onomile radius ut also people five 10 miles away HERE FIRST Granted you might get used to the noise dont think we should have to We were here first An airport is not going to make this better place to live stated Mr Kitchen Council candidates Charley Sanderson Clarence Smith and Dave Bull and candidate for reeve Howard Campbell didnt take unilateral stand Mr Campbell siad that from what can gather can not see that its an advantage to Oro but ad ed that he didnt have all the information that he felt was required to make decision cant see that Oro is going to benefit from an airport but feel we should go into it with an open mind Things that used to happen in five and and 10 years happen in one year today stated Mr Sanderson Mr Bull commented an air port may not be particularly necessary to you or my life style but Im sure there are some who like to fly If the federal government says theres going to be an airport theres going to be an airport He said he was impressed with the airport presentation and suggested that the town ship would have better control of the facility if it enter tained the proposal rather than object to it Mr Smith said he wasnt in favor of the actual airport pro posal on the grounds that it would get out of control too large But if we could zone it and keep it small like Barrie that would be another story Mr Smith said he would visit other small airports and talk to the people who work there and live nearby so as to develop better awareness of the im plications

cant agree on industrial development The candidates for ro counr cil couldnt agree on the desirability of additional in dustry for the township The type and size of that in dustry was cause for further disa reement at the meetthe can idates meeting Monday at Guthrie Public School Oro needs to maintain its predominantly agricultural and recreational atmosphere said candidate for council Mrs

SMALLINDISTRIES He added however that small dry industries are what he would like to see in the township andidate for council Ross Bradley who opposed the in dustrial park said that to make it the best park possible appears to be the only alter native iiow that it has received approval In his intrixluctory address be indicated his support for the Georgian Bay Task Force re commendations that all class 12 land be reserved for agriculture and that there be no further development of lands affecting the Nottawasaga Valley onservation Area Candidate for council An thoiiy Keene doesnt like the iii fercnce that developer is dirty word If we dont have industries in this township what are your sons and daughters going to do for jobs he asked the 80 per sons in attendance In his opinion industry will feed small business in the township and he welcomed it One member of the audience said she understood that Vespra and lnnisfil Townships with more industry than Oro also had higher taxes and wondered if there was connec tion Planning body urged by ratepayer group The Big Bay Point District Association which represents ratepayers in the Big Bay Point area says proposals contained in its submission to the Ontario Municipal Board OMB hear ings on Barries proposed an nexation of lands in Oro Vespra and lnnisfil townships concerning regional govern ment in Simcoe County have been misinterpreted The association says it did not urge Simcoe County to con sider regional goveniinent system such as those in Niagara or Sudbury in its OMB submission Rather the association quoting its OMB submission said Perha instead of an nexation orm of regional government is now due One planning body is needed to con trol the haphazard develop ment of the Barrie area and to protect critical recreational and farm lands in Simcoe ouii ty Our association is not pro posing Simcoe County or Bar rie area regional government in total but we do feel regional or Simcoe County planning should be considered the ratepayers group said urging the develop ment of county master plan for growth and zoning OVER OUNIY If such plan was made the association said development could be spread over the entire county instead of concentrating it in one area Growth is forced on us the association said Lets spread the benefits and the ills throughout the county by re gional planning The ratepayers group self proclaimed watchdog de dicatcd to preserving and hav ing voice in future planning of the recreational lands and waters of Lake Simcoe said it will not back down from its stand against Barries annexa tion proposals We make no apologies nor compromises in our stand against Barrie politiciaiis amibition to lead the city to the uncontrollable urban sprawl the association said lnnisfils very existence is threatened by Barries annexation propos als DISAGREE IN TAXES Mr Bradleys opinion was that industry wont necessari ly ease the tax burden Mr Smith disagreed He cited as example Vespra where understand the com mercial strip brings in half their tax base They dont want to lose it thats why theyre fightingannexation Relaxation of the regulations regarding individual residen tial severances was seen as desirable by most of the 11 can didates Candidate for reeve Howard Campbell said he favored this procedure over allowing large residential develo ments to spring up but adde that some regulation was needed Candidate for deputy reeve Paul Hansen said he favored the relaxation in certain areas Mr Kitchen agreed adding that preservation of prime agricultural land is the priori ty Ive got to believe if Ive got the right to do what want with my pmperty you should have the same right said Mr Keene The severance of lots creates real hardships for some people said candidate for council Charley Sanderson who nonetheless supports more severances Mr Smith defended the ac tions of planning board and noted that severances fell under ministry of housing rul ing There are in the neigh borhood of 368 lots in the township at the present time Its not because we dont have lots Farmers wanting to severe lots is the problem Mrs Tiffen proved of more individual buil ing but wanted no semblance of suburbia created LOCAL GENERAL FLU CLINIC The Simcoe County Health Units swine flu vaccination clinic will be held Wednesday December from to pm at Parkview Centre for
