Durham regional councillors have agreed to spend $2.8- million on a communal water supply system for Greenbank using ground water sources. "It isn't wonderful," Scugog regional councillor Yvonne Christie told the Port Perry Star, but added that it was the best solution out of a number of possible options. "The problem is quality wa- ter," she said, stating there is a lack of it in Greenbank. The $2.8-million solution in- volves using the two existing wells and drilling four new wells west of Greenbank. This will provide a total of 93 gallons of water per minute. Residents will still face water use restrictions in the summer. Under this option, it isn't pos- sible to permit any new devel- opment on municipal water supply system in Greenbank, a regional works department re- ~ port states. "However, if new develop- ment is desired in the future, the water supply system con- structed under this option could be expanded," the report continues. Work on the project is slated to begin early next year and completed by the end of 1991. Two other options were sug- gested -- both at the approxi- mate cost of $6 million. Option one consisted of using nine wells, including the two existing wells, for a water ca- pacity of 198 gallons per min- ute.

Museum curator Mary Lynn Williamson was present be- fore council Monday afternoon to ask permission for the Mili- tia of Upper Canada to fire 1912 style muskets during their demonstration. She explained the Museum was contacted last week by the professional military en-actment group offering to come to the museum and present a display. The group will set up a military camp (circa 1812) complete with women and children dressed in period costume. For the drill segment of their demonstration, the men will fire their 75 calibre muskets using black powder. There is a safety officer on site at all times, checking the weapons and applecider. making sure the site is clear of people.

Gun owners angry From Page 3 proposed changes will do little more than add red tape for le- gitimate gun owners, and will do little, if anything to get guns out of the hands of criminals. In a written brief presented to Mr. Stevenson last month, the Gun Club executive states: "Bill C 80 means nothing to a criminal......this Bill will not achieve what it is supposed to do, eliminate the illegal use of 8." The brief suggests that one way to combat the problem of guns and criminals would be to make the penalties tougher for anyone using a firearm while committing a crime. Bill C 80 has received first reading from the Commons. Mr. Stevenson told the meeting it is likely that public hearings will be held after second reading, December 31, 199091 Tickets on Sale Now WHITBY - BROOKLIN ROOMS Buffet Dinner 7:30 to 9:30 PM Music by Keynote Band Champagne - Party Favours - Prizes Major Credit Cards Accepted and after that, any changes will be made before the Bill becomes law. He suggested it could be six months at least before the Bill becomes law. He promised to pass the Gun Club concerns and objec- tions on to the Justice Depart- ment, and agreed to hold a fur- ther meeting with executive | members of the Club to go over concerns based on complicated, 4 technical issues such as conver- sion from automatic to semi- automatic. ~ While expressing some sy- pathy to the issues raised last week, Mr. Stevenson also point- ed out there are alot of people in the country who think the gun laws aren't tough enough. . "They think this Bill (C80) is too modest, they want it to go farther," he said. $75. per Person Cash Bar 7:30 to 12:45 PM CULLEN GARDENS & MINIATURE VILAGE 300 TAUNTON RD.W. WHITBY, ONT.
