Letters to the Editor Ex-Mayor Outlines Other Side of Rezoning Story The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville. July 20. 1989 7 Firefighters'Pancakes in Big Demand at Bowmanville Sidewalk Sale Letter to the Editor: As the immediate past Mayor of the Town I have remained silent on political events as reported by your paper, knowing full well that any criticism would be labeled as "Sour Grapes". However, as a citizen and business person I find it impossible impossible to sit by and idly and not comment on some of the current events. On July 12th you reported reported a story headed "Zoning Battle Ends". The article reported reported that Mr. Jack Locke, the President of L&L Tool, "registered an objection and delayed Powerscreen's move from Ajax". You reported Mr. Hamilton who was the lawyer for Powerscreen saying saying "that this is not something something that anyone reasonable reasonable would demand" and that Mr. Locke's objection was frivolous. You also reported reported that Mayor Hubbard was "visibly annoyed" with Mr. Locke. What I could not understand is why no one took the time to report Mr. Locke's side of the story. In fact Mr. Locke had to write a letter to the Editor personally personally in order to outline his position. It seems that Mr. Locke, in exercising his right as a concerned citizen, was opened to ridicule and criticism criticism without even the opportunity opportunity of a fair hearing. Lately, there has been a lot of talk of attracting industry industry to the Town. I believe that the first place to start in trying to build up the Towns industrial base is to work with and encourage the existing local industries Attorney-General Explains Trespass Bill requirements are not severe. It simply requires the property property owner to give a reason for someone to leave the premises. Everyone who goes to a mall or store expects expects that if they are asked to leave by a property owner or security guard, they will be given a reason. That reason reason can be conduct that is not compatible with the public's public's use of the premises, or that the person has breached one of the owner's reasonable, rules, which need not be posted. Although Bill 149 provides provides that persons cannot be banned forever, they may be banned for 30 days each Support for Condos Mrs. Sher Leetooze .Lynn Michael-John Associates Associates 80 Roser Cresent Bowmanville, Ontario L1C 3N9 Dear Mrs. Leetooze: Thank you for your recent recent letter concerning the Government's proposed amendments to the Trespass to Property Act (contained in Bill 149). The Government believes that responsible commercial property owners and managers, managers, employing professionally' professionally' trained staff, attempt to deal fairly with the public. The existing Trespass to Property Act, however, gives property owners absolute authority to exclude or ban anyone forever, without reason reason and without review. ' As a society, we refuse to accept absolute authority, even when exercised by an elected Government. Before the police can obtain access to corporate records for the purpose of an investigation, a warrant must be obtained.

Some of the younger people people to-day don't realize the difficulty of us Sr's to keep and maintain a home as we are accustomed to doing. We nearly all in some way have some form of ar thritis and therefore have to pay someone to do the grass, snow and other house hold , chores we are no longer able to do, and many living on just their pensions find it very difficult. A place such as the "Wellington" "Wellington" would be ideal for such people, providing of course they are not away out of reach money wise. Good Luck to the "Project". Sincerely: Mr. and Mrs. G.

The ban is effective even if disputed, disputed, therefore a person who has received a ban cannot cannot lawfully re-enter the premises by providing the property owner with a statement statement objecting to the ban. The proposed amendments amendments will not be a major change to the present operations operations of good property owners owners and managers who have been careful about those who are asked to leave and why. The proposed amendments amendments will not curtail the ability of property owners and retailers to provide a pleasant, safe shopping environment. environment. Yours very truly, Ian Scott Attorney General c.c Mr. Sam Cureatz, M.P.P. Durham East. to expand within. These industries industries have already made an investment in the Town and if they are content and successful you can be sure that others will follow. Industrialists Industrialists like Mr. Locke are in fact the real ambassadors ambassadors for the Town and the image they portray to their customers and suppliers is of significant importance to attracting new industry. Mr. Locke's objection to the rezoning of the property in question was not driven by personal gain but by the firm belief and concern that the changing of the bylaw to allow for outside storage was not in the best interest of the Town. It is only common common sense that clean high tech industry will not be locating locating in an area zoned for heavier industry. What is being created may become a mirror image of tne mess on the Base Line north of the 401. This is already being evidenced by the 1950's type of development being allowed allowed for the subdivision. I am sure that IBM or Sony or any other modern industry will not be attracted by the ditches and overhead brown wooden hydro posts. Mr. Locke snould be commended commended on taking a stand, it is a shame that he received so little support. Yours truly, John Winters C. A.

MORRIS COMPARING CREMATION COSTS The popular conception is that cremation costs considerably considerably less than earth burial. This is not necessarily true. Costs vary and relate to the way cremation is utilized. Comparing cremation with earth burial, it is impossible to estimate costs or savings ! without considering the locali- , ty and circumstances. These include the distance to the nearest crematory, whether or not a family grave plot is already already owned, and the charges for opening and closing a grave. If economic considerations alone are paramount, crema tion as a means of immediate disposition may be an alternative alternative to consider. Your funeral director can discuss the types of final disposition available to you and their costs. Your funeral funeral director is the most knowledgeable resource for any questions about postdeath postdeath activities, including cremation. cremation. He is pleased to provide provide you and the community with information on this subject. subject. Although many people are reluctant to talk about such matters; open discussion can only broaden understanding understanding and help individuals make decisions properly.

We hasten to restore him this week to his proper status. Fortunately, he didn t quit work in the meantime. t t t t t OLD WELL -- Home owners would be well advised advised to check their properties carefully after so much rain. One Indy on Lovers Lane who prefers to remain unidentified, noticed that a spot of land had sunk a little. When it was tested with a foot, a great chunk.of earth gave way and fell into an old cistern that had been filled about 45 years ago. The well was dry down to 20' deep and there was water for about another 20 or 30 feet It took almost two full loads of sand to fill tht cavity. t t t t t RECORD -- Ian Turner, former Pro at Bowmanville Bowmanville Golf Club, and now at Peterborough Golf and Country Club had an excellent round recently.

The proposed equalized assessment assessment of the United Counties Counties of Northumberland and Durham for 1964 is $84,490,817, This represents an increase of $3,267,191 over the previous year in spite of three major fires and the loss of assessment assessment in Murray township by annexation by the Town of Trenton. These facts were contained Counties Council meeting in Cobourg last week by the retiring retiring assessor T. Garnet Shield. The proposed equalized assessment assessment will provide the basis for the 1965 taxation. Except for the four towns and one village, which show declines in the amount'of monies to be raised for counties taxation, (TURN TO PAGE TWO) Approved in' Principle Cement Plant Discussed at Joint Meeting The proposed entry of St. Marys Cement Company into this area as a Darlington industry was given a thorough analysis last night at a joint committee meeting of the township council council and its planning board at the township hall in Hampton. Derek Little of Toronto, the township's planning consultant, spoke to the group and presented his suggestions concerning all aspects of the proposed development. It was agreed by all parties that officials would now prepare definite conditions. that would be presented to the company before action would bè taken to re-zone the land under option from agricultural to industrial. While nothing definite was released concerning these conditions, it is understood they will deal with such matters as dust control, roadways, possible harbor facilities, commitments on when the property would be put to industrial use, etc. The meeting lasted well over two hours and, according to reports, dealt with every angle of the situation. No concerted opposition to the plant coming coming to'this area was evident within either group, provided adequate precautions and guarantees were accepted by the St. Marys company. In effect, the meeting gave tentative,-conditional approval in" principle to the project. Several expressed the feeling that the plant would provide sorely needed industrial assessment for the township. They could see no reason for refusing to re-zone the land, if the suggested agreement between both parties could be arranged satisfactorily. Liberals Hold Messy Egg-Throwing Conies! A popular feature ... for spectators, not contestants contestants ... at the Liberal Picnic at Newcastle's Waltona Park on Saturday was the egg-throwing contest.
