The proposed amendment would add "'or competitions" tothe end of the above clause, thereby allowing council to give permission for such' long-term shooting. According to lawyer, Peter White, Jr., who represented the Skinner view to council Monday, the bylaw now pro- vides for the use of shotguns arfd-small bore guns to be oka for pest control and unting. He suggested that it would be simply a formality to allow target shooting at the same.time. ol . Uverwhelming public op- position led to a council decision refusing the bylaw amendment that would allow such an operation. The owners have given up on that proposal, said Mr. White, and now would like to recover - their considerable losses by at least getting some private use out of the facilities.

Asked if a works -depart- ment official made .a two- institution offer to the town- ship at a closed meeting a week ago, Mayor Malcolm said 'it was made quite clear at the outset. that we are talking about the same thing --...a reception centre'. The two-institution issue arose following an Uxbridge. meeting where public works department representative Art Collette reportedly offer- ed a reception centre and a maximum security centre to the township. +» The Uxbridge meeting with the works department was on Monday, October 6, just hours after a morning session with Scugog councillors. According to Mayor Carl Puterbough, it sounded defin- Rash of break-ins under investigation Newcastle detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police are investigating the theft of almost 1,000 pounds of cut and wrapped beef from Pine Ridge Packers on Highway 7A, just west of Blackstock. Police got the call at 10:31 p.m. on October 12. Entry was made by smashing a window, according to police. Police estimate the value of the meat at over $1,000. A number of break-ins and attempted break-ins are under investigation by officers of the Whitby detach- ment, including two break- ins last week at R.R. 2, Por Perry. . According to police, Theresa Bonnanfant took her daughter to the hospital in the morning and when she returned shortly before 11 p.m., she discovered some- one had entered her'home by forcing aback door and made off with $1,100. worth of goods. Among the missing items are a, rifle, two shotguns, a handgun, and a colour tele- vision, : On the same morning, a neighbour of the Bonnanfants was also burglarized, accord- ing to police. A shotgun worth about $80.00 was stolen from the PRA PNET Cs a TARR, STS 25 home of Mrs. Mary Hutchin- son of R.R. 2, Port Perry. Entry was gained by forcing a bedroom window. About $235.00 in cash was stolen from the home of John Sutherland, Lot 7, Concession 4, just south of Utica. The break-in was reported Satur- day. Entry was made through an unlocked door. Two stereo speakers worth about $300.00 were stolen from the residence of Gordon Bourgeoys at Prospect Cor- ners on Highway 12, about. two miles south of Man- chester. Entry was made by cut- ting a hole in a screen. iw A854 [4 off ag 1 ho Fix 3 £ We 2) a, 3 ite to him that it is two, and - not one' institution the government is. after. According to the Uxbridge mayor, Uxbridge council "balked", arguing that they did not want a maximum security centre. "We said we would co-operate but we would not give in to that," Mayor Puterbough was 'quoted as saying. ~The same offer was not made at the morning Port Perry session, said Mayor Malcolm, although there was apparently some early-meet- ing clearing of the air about just what the meeting was about. "They started talking about a number of institut- ions that they=are looking for, and I told them "Hold it a minute, it is a regional recep- tion centre we are talking about here,' said Mayor Malcolm. The point was reaffirmed by the works department official, accord- ing to the mayor. Just weeks after the heated debate over the penitentiary has cooled, some are fearful that the two-penitentiary possibility could bring the issye to a boil again. Even if Scugog Township only gets one institution, pointed out Roland Coy, one of those opposing the peniten- tiary originally, there could be one here and one in Uxbridge. "You play with fire and you can get your fingers burned," said Bastion Benschop, also among the group who opposed council's move to invite the institution here. Penitentiary Service De- puty Regional Director John L. Bennett could not be reached for comment. The "official is on vacation until October 20. According to the Uxbridge "mayor, the works depart- ment official may have been - "feeling us out to find out what our attitude is". The meetings with federal officials and members and staffs of Uxbridge and Scugog Townships are expected to continue as the site-finding program gets underway. According to both federal authorities and local govern- ment officials, no penitent-- iary institution would be built without the approval of local government. No OHRP action Scugog Township Council took no action to an offer by the Ontario government to make use of. the Ontario Housing Rehabilitation Pro- sggram (OHRP), a program that would provide about = $30,000in low interest govern- ment loans for bringing sub- standard homes up to accept- able levels. _ Under the program, Scugog would get $4.00 per capita in funds, some in the form of forgivable loans. Interest rates would be gear- ed to income from zero per Lent to eight per cent. Administering such a pro- gram in the township would be up to local government, and according to council, would be an administrative nightmare. Just a few of the new duties Scugog staff would have to handle under the program include advising people of the availability of the program, administrating loans, applicant interviews, handling the financial appli- cations, inspections of pro- perty, applicant certifi- cation, making quarterly re- ports for evaluation, and much more. 'As you can see," said Mayor Lawrence Malcolm, "thereis a fair deal of work to it. The more I read it, the more confusing it gets," he said. Town Hall show Not only will local resi- dents be able to get a look at an interesting display of glass and china antiques, but the Port Perry Antique Show and Sale Thursday and Fri- day of this week will give residents to see their town hall project being put to use.
