Orono Programt are ready and Areemient for staging ofhareock Cvoonent stl m in limbo - Mosport The Stewart Wood application for a rezoning on a portion of his property on Best Road north of Orono took another turn on Mon- day at Town council. The by-law to allow the applica- tion, which ran into difficulty two week ago, was approved by a 4 to 3 majority. Counc. Deegan, Stapleton, Wotten and Mayor Hub- bard voted to support the applica- tion, while Councs. Hamre, Han- nah and Hooper voted in the negative. Two weeks ago the by-law was pulled from the agenda and due to a tie vote was defeated and did not receive its three reading. However shortly after, in the meeting Counc. Wotten moved that it be reconsidered at the next meeting of council. This motion did pass. As a result of Monday's vote the by-law has received the consent of Without-an amenciment to a pro- posed rezoning application submit- ted for Careview Manor Special Care Rest Home in Bowmanville the facility may now operate taking in 44 residents. A decision of the General Pur- pose committee last week was over- turned which set a limit of 25 residents for the home care facility. When the isssue came before council Counc. Hopper submitted the amendment to allow 44 residents and gained support from Councs. Hamre and Hannah. Counes. Stapleton and Wotten held firm to their decision to allow only 25 residents. Mayor Hubbard and Counc. Deegan were absent from the table having declared a conflict of interest in the applica- tion. The applicant is also to erect a 6 foot privacy fence on the west, council. Irwin Hamilton speaking on behalf of area citizens opposing the application said that contrary to statements that the truck operation has been a legal operation was not the case. "It has been an illegal operation," he said. He also said that the applicant has not been able to prove it as legal. Hamilton said his clients were prepared to take the issue to the Ontario Municipal Board. He also warned that to approve the applica- tion would be precedent setting for other such illegal operations. There came some doubt that a simple majority was enough to carry the approval and that perhaps a two-thirds majority may be necessary. Legal staff for the Town ruled that a simple majority was suffi- cient to carry the vote. north and east side of the property in accordance to Town regulations. The decision came following ten speakers all in support of the ap- plication with many employees of the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital, Whitby. They all spoke of im- provements made at the facility since its take over by Vera Forest the applicant. It was also pointed out that the facility would have toclose serving only 25 residents as the number would not make it financially feasi- ble to carry on. Norma Semple of the Psychiatric Hospital said the facility had been standing on its own feet and did provide affordable accommodation and care for those residents. "Don't turn them out on the street,' she said. Counc. Hamre made a plea for (Calimi Mj2 An agreement between the Town of Newcastle and Truly Amazing Productions over a rock concert to be held at Mosport Park August 4 to 6 still hangs in timbo, states Counc. Hooper following the meeting of council on Monday. He said the door remains open until Friday when the deal will ex- pire. In the meantime it appears that tickets are on sale for the event highlighting Canadian bands and quite a number of bands at that. Council did meet with their legal counsel on Monday behind closed doors with little said following the meeting. Hooper states it was an update of events as to the agreement. Last week council following another closed door session called for additional deposits from Truly Amazing Productions, $30,000, as security for property owners whose property may be damaged in the area. Further the Town has withdrawn its approval of the dispensation of achoholic beverages at Mosport in connection with motor vehicle rac- ing on August 4 and 6 and requests the Board to immediately revoke a special occasion or other permits that may have been issued for August 4 and 6. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario is to be advised of the Town's decision. Fire destroys Orono home Apple grower first to announce seeking P.C. nomination Kirk Kemp of R.R. 1 Bowman- ville, is the first to announce his in- tent to seek the Durham East Pro- gressive Conservative nomination on August 8th at the Bowmanville Recreation Centre. In speaking with Kemp, 31, he said he had been an apple farmer all his life but also holding a thought that some day he would run for of- fice in the legislature. He said with Sam Cureatz's resignation the opportunity bas come sooner than he thought it might. I hope to carry on in Sam's shoes, so to speak, he said. Kemp holds an office of vice president in the Durham East Pro- gressive Conservative Association and is president of the Darlington PC organization. He said he admired Sam's ap- proach of being a constituent member serving all individuals in the riding. If elected he said he would con- tinue to keep offices open in the riding, use common sense, brains and show initiative. In the past Kemp states he had been active in hockey and with a Youth group at St. Paul's United Church. He also is a director of the Bowmanville Lions Club as well as a director of the Growers' Co- operative Storage and the Ontario Apple Marketing Commission. Kemp said there are many issues for the riding among which the pro- posed 407 highway is but one along with GO service to the community. He said although 407 will become an necessity he felt it should be routed further north through the communities. He spoke of concern over tax in- creases and Sunday Shopping - I believe Sunday should be a day of rest, it was stated. Water and sewers for Orono, Brooklin, Port Perry and Janetville were a issue with the candidate for nomination on which he felt pressure should be applied to the province. Kemp said he was the first to sub- mit his papers as a candidate for nomination to be handed to the president June Smith of the Association. A fire on Saturday afternoon destroyed the home at 5521 Main Street, Orono. Firefighters from both Orono and Newcastle Fire Sta- tions responded to the blaze, but despite their joint efforts the house was destroyed. Joint owner David Brown, said that he had placed washing in the dryer in the basement of the house, before leaving for Mosport for the afternoon, at about 1:30 p.m. He returned early from Mosport, and while driving past the Orono Fire Station he remarked to a friend with him, that there must be a fire some where, as the doors of the sta- tion were opened. On arrival at his home he saw to his horror that the firefighters were there. Mr. Brown said, "The Fire Mar- shall is of the opinion that the fire started in the clothes dryer, which I had left running upon leaving the bouse." The loss is estimated at about $100,000. The property was in- sured. 35c. a copy Careview Manor receives 44 person occupancy
