PEOPLE ARE PIGS Last weeks strike by the Durham Region outside workers proved a couple of things, and one of them is that people are not prepared to put with any inconveniences. I must say I was shocked when I drove by the Port Perry Landfill Site on Regional Road 8, a week ago Saturday and saw the huge pile of garbage laying by the roadside in front of the locked gates to the dump. I am not sure how many tons of garbage had accumulated in those few short hours, but it was considerable. ~ Parking by the side of the road, cars and trucks continually came by and although some of them turned around and returned home or to another dumping area when they saw the landfill site was closed, many just backed up to the gate and threw their garbage, brush and waste onto the growing pile. It was interesting to note that this only occurred when they felt nobody was watching. When editor John . McClelland, Mayor Jerry Taylor and myself, with cameras dangling by our sides stood by the dumpsite, not one of those stopping made any attempt to dump their refuse. This came about many imes because we took the time to explain other-areas in which they could get rid of their loads. - Regardless whether the strike was necessary, it appalls me to think that some of our township residents have no more intelligence than it took to dump their loads along the roadside. I would have to agree that it is very frustrating, and downright maddening to have spent a few hours cleaning a yard, loading a trailer and then driving a few miles to dump it, only to find that the dump-site.is closed. But anyone with any brains at all should have enotigh sense that they would not spew their garbage along the side of a road. Come on Scugog-ites ...... clean up your act! . REMEMBER WHEN? Readers of the Star's Remember When column will notice a slight change in the age of photographs carried during the next little while. Due to a shortage of early 1900 or late 1800 photo's the column will now carry pictures from negatives the Star has on file. terbox by J. Peter Hvidsten These pictures, although not as old, will create an interest with many township residents as most of the people featured will be well known residents who probably sti in the area or not too far away. A From time to time, if older photos are brought into the * Star office, we will reproduce those as well. In the meantime, let your mind wander back 13, 14 or 15 years and see how many of the people featured in the "Remember When" column you recall.

As i Tee Role iso HEIR 2D [RAF PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, May 20, 1981 -- § letters AN tT TNA Cie ' v £6547 90 FE ry ' ey "of J Liquor licence Dear Sir: Having just read the May 13th article in the Port Perry Star, stating the liquor licence application for Frank's Restaurant, Caes- area, Ontario will be rejected by council, I would like to express my concern over this nearsightedness on the part of certain members of council. The article stated that the petition in support of the application was collected by the applicants. I would like to stress that this was done by the residents of Caesarea, including myself who initiated the petition, and not by the applicants. It was felt that by obtaining more names than the anti-licence delegation (three times as many I might add) that it would be sufficient to present to council. Apparently, we were mis- taken, but at the same time it would appear the majority of residents are in favour of this licence. - In the letter that council wrote to the LLBO they stated "the issuance of licence in this area is not in the public interest." Well, who better than the residents themselves to justify if a licence is in their best interest, and the fact that a 130 name petition in support of this licence has been collected it would undoubtedly appear that this has shown public interest. Another statement that council made to the LLBO was the fact that a licence "could create a hazard for children and generally have an adverse impact on the community." I am sure that council is aware that Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 419, Port Perry is in a residential zone and that a children's park is situated right beside their parking lot. Have the clientele who frequent that establishment been a hazard to those thildren? As far as the restaurant having an adverse impact on the community it is felt that the opposite would be closer to the truth as it would allow opportunities for employ- ment (i.e. chef, dishwasher, waitresses-waiters, etc.) therefore making the area prosperous not un- prosperous. Ward 2 councillor Robert (Turn to page 6) Asphalt plant Dear Sir: Perhaps the controversial proposal to locate an asphalt plant on the 2nd Concession of Reach-Scugog could be settled to everyone's satis- faction as follows: Asphalt plants do not have - to be located in a gravel pit, as presently proposed. In fact, few of them are. What is required is ready access for heavy truck traffic, inbound with the raw materials and outbound with the products. There are numerous suitable locations on the provincial and regional roads in the region. If noise and polluting= fumes from the plant are minimal, as some councillors seem led te believe, then perhaps one such suitable location would be near the four corners at Manchester. This location has ready access from four directions highways. There would be prominent exposure of the plant, enabling councillors to point it out with pride as they drove past. Surely this would be a preferable alternative to forcing the plant upon rate- payers on the 2nd Concession who vehemently oppose it, and who are already afflicted with gravel pits on their rural sideroad. Perhaps some Scugog councillors should remind themselves that a few short months ago they were seeking election with promises to serve the rate- payers, not to harm one group for some imagined benefit to another group. onto main \, Sincerely ) Clark Muirhead R.R.1 Ashburn Company 8 port perry star Rh Serving the Township of Scugog J.PETER HVIDSTEN Publisher Advertising Manager J.B.
