I Tlih lit- KM Town residents question developer They stand up for their neighbors Shirley Bail lie and Sandy Gardner are not neighbors nor are they particularly close friends but these two women are united in concerns and worries about the proposed subdivision development planned for the Lane property situated behind the Lane Court These women along with a number of other concerned citizens expressed their views at Tuesday night subsidiary planning board meeting They left the meeting and somewhat disillusioned I felt thai all my questions were not satisfactorily answered Either the know the answers or they dldn I want to give us the answers stated Mrs We seem to get any straight from them We asked Ihcm about erosion problems If here would be any water problems If here would be any questioned them about walkways etc If they hod answered us satisfactorily we be still bo upset We dldn t learn anything at that meeting stated Mrs Gardner Mrs living on Edward Street will not be directly affected by the subdivision she was concerned enough about the mailer to become Involved 1 not at all against subdivisions I safe here and I want to see new houses built In Georgetown I m just trying to mal c sure that the subdivision will be built on safe land and that It will not harmfully affect the surrounding neighbors Look at what happened on Metcalfe Court The people bought new homes only to later find that their backyards were eroding And were told Put up a retaining wall don want that sort thing to happen In his newly planned subdivision Mrs Gardner a resident of Lane Court held the same views I not against sub divisions all Nor am I against a sub division planned to be built below us Ira just concerned that everything and every aspect Is checked Into If they build right below us will there be a water runoff problem Arc they going to get rid of the trees one day that whole bank will land on someone house These are the questions which were asked and these ore the questions which were not answered Way down deep I think that the coun cillors know what they are doing but why then don they let the people know And if they don know what they are doing then there is a problem Sixty thousand dollars Is a tot of to for a home and a hunk property especially It you find one day that that hunk of property Is not there any more because It has eroded concluded Mrs Garner It a just that I concerned about how much checking Is done i division These people who one day will be buying these homes have to be protected I don I know who to blame for 1 lit lb but all of usat that meeting felt thai we were treated as a bunch of children who knew nothing It just seemed to me thai not enough was known about this explained Mrs Balllle Maybe I making a mountain out of a molehill Maybe everyone knows the answers but why they answer us concluded Mrs I AM JUST stated Sandy Gardner a resident of Lane Court Mrs Gardner overlooks the Lane property where the newly proposed Is planned to be located North Halton needs nursing home facilities To the of the Herald The majority of people are not aware of the existing problems regarding the shortage of nursing home beds in North Halton The awareness of the problem comes only to light when in duals find themselves In the situation where active hospitals can no longer help and pressure is put on the family to find a nursing home tor loved ones Dangerous intersection To the the Herald I am writing in regard to the Maple Ave and Delrcx Intersection I had the misfortune of walking past on Friday afternoon at 3 p m This Intersection Is a this time I t believe It Cars and buses all trying to cross or tum I Just stood and watched for a few minutes in disbelief This Is the crossing my child has to use each day Then right before my eyes an accident occurred This really shook up have another child who is to enter kindergarten next year and Is to use this very crossing There is no way that I would feel safe sending her unescorted to this crossing no fears when the other children started school because they had a crossing right by the school and It was certainly a lot sorer I know the parents In this area tried unsuccessfully last year to have the crossing guard back Do we have to wait until someone Is killed before we get one back or have lights In stalled I did not wait around after the accident so I don t know It anyone was seriously hurt I thank God my children wcren Involved but it could very easily happen if something is not done right away to solve this serious Carol Hall For instance our local residents who arc admitted to hospitals In the county of Wellington naturally wish to return to their own en which Is North Halton Where can they go The same applies to the Georgetown hospital Where can they go Queen Park tells us there are 151 vacant nursing home beds In County Manor docs not have these mystical vacancies and I certainly do not have them Our local candidates evade Ihc problem by just Ignoring It hoping maybe It will vanish But just let tho problem hit close to home and 1 bet the tunc would be different The ministry of health has been approached since with building plans for the establishment of 60 beds at the Kelly Nursing Home in Acton The answer that we received Is that beds arc not needed In this area An article In the Toronto Star and a television debate between Mr Davis and Mr Nixon mentioned a In crease Tor old age pensioners Good now may I mention the last Increase for old age pensioners In nursing homes Please note In March of 1975 the old age pension amounted to plus a guaranteed supplement of for a grand total of SO In a nursing home the government In March paid til S3 and the resident paid dally leaving the patient with on a day basis The Increase In April for old age pensioners jumped to Also the guaranteed supplement Increased to total amount being Now nursing home rotes are Bet by the government and nursing homes receive a raise The portion paid by the government Jumped from 111 S3 to while the portion payed by the pen Jumped from to 5 The increase paid by the pensioner amounts to SO a month so really the Increase received amounted to per month or a day That buy bubble gum even Now what portion of this new 13 Increase is the government going to tell nursing homes to take when they receive a rise which Is inevitable Maybe the old age pensioners could purchase two sticks gum The Davis government seems also to be concerned with health care costs Would it not be logical for the local Public Health Service to In nursing homes in regards to all inspections other than finance and tribunal board three candidates were Informed this situation May I state Mr Johnson pledges to preserve and build what Is good for the community and contact Mr Lewis Mr Reed is aware this situation but can do nothing unless elected Mr Daw kins was not aware of the great need for nursing homes in the area but assures me he will fight alone if necessary for the betterment of all concerned Mr Kerr our former MPP has a file of in formation on this issue which will be available for Mr Dawkins to act upon when he is elected for this term May the provincial govern ment In the future realize that North Is good enough rich enough and progressive enough to warrant a new building for their home on the premises of the wellestablished Kelly Nursing Home New poof upsets residents The installation or a private swimming pool behind a Regan Crescent home has upset area residents and Councillor Morrow Councillor Morrow told town council Monday night Lhfct the contractor installing the pool had approval from the town to cross its property to get to the site where the pool was to be Installed During the work approximately IS loads of till were dumped onto the town property and a town fence was removed That fence although the work has been completed has still not been replaced said Councillor Morrow The place lsa mess noting that the dirt was dumped on property that the town had recently paid to have resodded I understand that It s next to impassible to get anything else to grow on that fill short having to have another expensive resodding of it done He is following the guidelines To the members the subsidiary planning board the presentation made to and to the members of the public list week by developer Michael Malik did not present any major questions For them It was he time they have heard a Cull description of the plan for the subdivision They also knew the till process a plan of
