u the tribune thursday november 9 178 twp of uxbridge candidates say- well control gravel pits by keith bolender uxbridge with few exceptions uxbridge council candidates all agreed with each other on ways to deal with the townships gravel in dustry the candidates were speaking at a ratepayers association meeting in uxbridge monday night a gathering called specifically to hear various opinions on the problem the general cosensus was that control of the industry should remain at the local level through township bylaws and that these should be upheld in the courts if necessary most candidates also agreed that an aggregate advisory committee be formed in uxbridge although the makeup and now open and looking for chimney fireplace installations powers of the committee were questioned the meeting at- tended by approximately 200 residents saw mayoralty incumbent gord davie speak first mr davie com mented that our township is directly af fected and we have to have the final say on gravel control however that control wont be gained by opening any more pits or trying to ram them through what we need is proper planning and provincial backing gary herrema the second candidate for mayor questioned how long the township could fight a local aggregate bylaw in the courts sure we should fight a bylaw in the courts to get it upheld but theres a time limit we have limited funds weve gone that route before and it has cost us quite a bit mr herrema further felt that there was nothing wrong in entering into a specific agreement with gravel operators such as the john b regan proposal because each one has to be looked at individually if its a good deal why not the lone regional councillor candidate at the meeting maustyn mcknight commented that if the township has strong controlling legislation that sets down standards for all gravel operators specific agreements should not be necessary and that legislation should rest with the township to ensure we get the best possible deal mr mcknight sup ported the idea of an advisory committee and suggested it include residents in each ward and be independent of council only ward 4 can didate sandy ewen questioned the idea of local control we should be involved locally but the control and en forcement should be passed to the region they have the staff and finances for the job john paxton ac- claimed in ward 1 goodwood argues specifically on the regan proposal saying that regan has offered us 64 cents per ton levy someone said we were being raped by the gravel industry but if we accept regans levy to pay us off then we wouldnt be raped but prostituting ourselves later the meeting was opened for questions from the audience ron beard of goodwood asked what the candidates felt about the fact that john regan

locks he plans to use the parent model on which to attach his smaller ones keith bolender giant padlock unique pro j ect ringwood what better way to display a padlock collection than on a huge padlock thats what stewart widman of ringwood wanted and now he has it with a little help from a master craftsman stewart has close to 100 padlocks some dating back 100 years he wanted something on which to display them so he contacted local woodworker roy flewell i had an idea about what i wanted i knew roy was the man to do it he stated his desire was to have a large wooden padlock made in the likeness of a smaller one already in his possession one that he could hang the others on when he put forward the suggestion roy had his doubts id never done anything like it before he said however he put his hands on some old pine wood taken from a house built in 1840 and started to work the master lock is approximately three feet long by two feet wide complete with a brass keyhole it took him about a week to shape it glue it and rub it down roy flewells masterpiece is no fluke he operates a refmishing shop near the corner of the vandorf road and hwy 48 stewarts still not quite sure which locks will hold this position of importance theres room for about eighteen in addition he has about 500 keys collecting padlocks is just a hobby he says when i see a different one i pick it up as for duplicating the parent padlock roy says one is enough i enjoyed doing it he said but im just too busy to do any more that makes stewarts possession all the more special therell never be another quite
