Regional councillor Reg Rose responded, saying it was the intent of the old Reach Township council not to allow 10-acre lots for non-farm residentes, and that this policy has been carried on by the present Scugo Township council. Councillor Rose said that while the old Reach plan gave council the right to ammend its provisions, the council also had the right to runt down any applications. After the tense 35-minute meeting between Mr. Rush and members of council, Mr. Rush said outside the cham- bers that he carried his fight this far "because I felt I was right at the time of the original application, and there is a principle involved here." He would not comment on how much the three year battle has cost him in legal fees, nor would he comment on a separate but related matter which is presently in front of the Ontario Cabinet. That's the issue of the formal land severance app- lication which was turned down this fall by Durham Land Division Committee and the Ontario Municipal Board. Mr. Rush has appeal- "ed these decisions to the Cabinet, but no decision has been reached as yet. During the afternoon meet- ing, members of council in- dicated they had no personal animosity towards Mr. Rush, but rather they ob- jected to a 10-acre lot in an agricultural zone, and the January 25, 1978 decision of the Cabinet which ordered the council to pass the am- endment, reversing decis- ions of Scugog council, Dur- ham Regioal council, and the Ontario Municipal Board. ANGRY When the evening session of council re-convened, that anger towards the Ontario Cabinet started to bubble over as councillors Richard Drew and John Williams presented a strongly worded resolution which said among other things that the Cabinet decision was "interfereance which made a farce of the tier system of government." On a couple of occasions councillor Drew said "we should embarass the Cab- inet,-and make them feel the heat over this decision." The resolution also called on the Cabinet to reject the severance application app- 20ACACACAAC ICCICCOCCCICICICCC cache 52525 0262525263635, plow] 25252 | we | whe | win | IICICICCICACICICIC Jn |e ae | SCC ICCC i [le [an |e whe] he | he | ICICACACACACICACICICICAC Cro 3 IC I CE CE GC CE Ce CN Ce CS CC EC CN CCL OCIOCICICICIC JC Tels The hin ke ce aioe we] |e] INTRODUCING | rl ou >, Fashioned Dutch Style Beef oquettes Great for Lunch, Snack or Appetizer available at Dowson's Red & White Port Perry I1.G.A.

Although other members of council agreegk with the intent of the Drew-Williams resolution, they could not agree on some of the terms and wording, and councillor Drew finally agred to a tabling motion to allow revis- ions to the wording. However, the council did agree to a motion from coun- cillor Rose which states that the by-law and accompany- ing resolution be sent to the Ontario Cabinet, and goes on to say that the Cabinet dec- ision to order the re-zoning "weakend the position of municipalities in enforcing official plans and by-laws." The motion concludes by saying that the Cabinet order has caused embarassment to Mr. Rush, to Scugog Town- ship and "above. all to the government of Ontario." "The granting of the sever- ance appeal would in our opinion, be even more em- barassing to the government of Ontario." THE COST After the meeting, Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor said that while the bills are nat yet in, the legal costs to the Township in fighting this case in the courts could amount to about $5000. Earlier this fall, Mr. Rush was successful in getting a Committee appointment Port Perry businessman Howard Hall has been app- ointed to a three-year term on the Scugog Committee of Adjustment. Mr. Hall, who is a former member of the old Port Perry council, got the nomin- Proper helmets prevent injury In Canada, hockey is one of our most popular winter sports. However, without the proper protective equip- ment, players may be ex- posed to serious injuries. For several years, the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association has required that hockey helmets be worn during games. Yet, if the helmet is inadequate, the player will not be well pro- tected from accidents. In January 1974, standards were established under the Hazardous Products Act requiring hockey helmets to have certain safety features. For instance, the helmet should provide protection against repeated blows to any part of the player's head and resist penetration by the blade of a skate. The chin strdg must be designed to prevent the Christmas Christmas means to me a time of joy and happiness for everyone. It's a time of rest not work.

Cornish Grade 5 helmet from coming oft during the normal course of play. However, should the hélmet become caught on some object, the strap should release under this excess strain to prevent injury to the player's neck. The fit of the helmet can also affect the degree of protection it provides. Helmets with the web-type of construction should fit tight- ly. Webbing should be ad- justed according to the manufacturer's instructions to position the helmet evenly around all sides of the head. Hockey helmets with pad- ding should fit the player comfortably. All helmets intended for use by hockey players must meet the requirements of the Canadian Standards Asso- ciation (CSA). Approved helmets, bearing the CSA label, will provide necessary protection. Helmets sold for less hazardous sports, such as lacrosse or skating, may not provide adequate protec- tion for hockey. Parents can protect their child's safety by examining hockey helmets closely, and minor hockey officials can assist. Finally, hockey players should be encour- aged to wear their helmets with the chin strap fastened at all times, to maximize their own protection. Seok grants (From page 1) Centres grants immediately, it was pointed out that there is at present a considerable back-log of grant applica- tions and not enough grant money to go around. Council made it clear that while it endorses in principle the plans for the addition, it will not commit funds from the general Township revenues if grant money is not available. Members of council did agree, however, to authorize the arena committee to spend about $1000 to repair part of the roof of the arena. This money must be included in the next budget for the arena operation. ation over Mr. Phil Orde, who had sought another term on the committee after his present term expires this year. Mr. Hall's nomination got support from councillors Jerry Jackman, Richard Drew, John Wolters and John Williams, while Ward 1 councillor Don Crosier sup- orted Mr. Orde. Mr. Hall joins present committee of adjustment members Fred Olsen and Norm Mairs. In other committee app- ointments made by council Monday night, James Cook- son of Port Perry will sit on the Library Board for three years. The council also appointed six members to the recrea- tion committee: Chuck Pres- ton, Susan Whalen, Susan Gustar, Neil McLaughlin, Bev Driscoll and Jim Greene.

The Township sought to appeal that court order, but this was rejected 4 by the courts on December 4. The rejection of the appeal left councillors with one of two options: pass the zoning amendments, or face con- tempt of court charges which could have resulted in heavy fines or even jail terms. Although a couple of mem- bers of council indicated privately that they felt st- rongly enough about the iss- ue they might be willing to take their chances in front of the courts, Mayor Taylor said after the meeting Mon- day evening that this course of action had not been ser- iously considered by the council as a whole. Scugog's role in this drama appears now to be over. It has left a bitter taste among councillors who feel that 'the provincial Cabinet intruded into an area where local municipalities are supposed to have control. This issue has consumed a lot of the time of members of the new council, and the old council which went out of office earlier this month. The case has attracted attention of the media and has been raised in the legislature of Ontario. Although the zoning by-law and offical plan amendments have now been passed, it remains to be seen whether Mr. Rush eventually will get a building permit to con- struct a house on the 10-acre parcel. If the Cabinet refused to grant the land severance appeal now before it, the re-zoning and official plan amendments will as one councillor put it Monday "be all academic."
