Reach Township unveils 5 year official plan According to the new Reach Township Official Plan there will be no pri- vate landfill (garbage) dumps in the township for at least five years. The plan, which was revealed July 26 at a public meeting in Manchester, still has to be officially adopted by township 'council and approved by Queens Park. It indicates that no gar- bage disposal will be per- mitted in Reach except those run by municipalities. At the moment a dump is jointy operated by Reach, Scugog and Port Perry on the '7th west of Simcoe Street. However the plan only projects for five years and it provides for the operation of several gravel pits in Reach). Used up gravel pits are usually suggested 'sites * for landfill. By the time this plan is outdated the new Region of Durham will have taken over responsibility for gar- bage sites and the new township of Scugog will have become responsible Firemen busy Firemen were called at 4:55 a.m. Tuesday to control a fire that completely desroyed a garage next door to the United Church in Manchester. Cause of the fire is undertermined. Firemen went to Utica at 11:30 Monday morning and kept damage to a minimum from a fire which started in a pile of shingles at the home of Mrs. Carolyn Bell, 1%» mile east of Utica.

L034 for- planning. There is not- gion and the new township from designating gravel p in Reach as garbage sites of the future. The stipulation banning such sites for five years was as far as the present council was able to go. Local polit- icians in Reach have been under much pressure from citizens over proposals by private business men to fill old gravel pits with garbage recently. Only existing gravel pits are designated as such on the proposed official plan for Reach Township -- but this does not prohibit new pits from coming into exist- ence, said the planning con- sultant" who helped to draw up the official plan. Bill Ferguson said a major expansion of an existing extractive industry or the creation of a new operation can come about by an amendment to the (continued on page 9) Chamber and council resolve differences The Chamber of Commerce and village council have apparently resolved differences which at times took the appear- ance of a fued over the past few months. Chamber President Ken Dowson appeared before coucil as the C of C delegate July 24, but an expected conflict did not take place. Mr. Dowson merely made some suggestions regarding signs identifying two hour parking limits, off street parking areas and the pop- ulation signs at the entrance to town. He had been expected to question council again about a $15,000 donation the Chamber made last year for improvements in Palmer Park. In recent months the chamber -has annoyed council considerably by re- peatedly challenging coun- cil's accounting of the way the money was spent. At the July 10 meeting of council the chamber asked the councillors to meet with it and discuss the issue. Deputy Reeve Phil Orde flatly refused to do so. "We have told them a number of times that the money is being used for the wash- rooms in the ball park," the Deputy reeve said," We don't have to go to a meet- ing and tell them what they have already been told." "I don't like to be contin- ually asked," complained Reeve Robt. Kenny," as if I was a common thief or something." The Chamber of Com- merce says it intended the money to go toward the new ball park, park lighting and tennis courts. The new ball park, wash- rooms and lights have been installed at a total cost of about $53,000. Council says there is.no money in the budget for tennis courts and points out that it has al- ready spent over three times the amount dated for these improvements. It is councils view that the chamber has got more than its money's worth. The Chamber of Com- merce meeting council had been invited to was held July 16. Reeve Kenny was "the only councillor to bother showing up. According to one chamber spokesman some members were still not satisfied and the presi- dent was expected to attend another council meeting to ask more questions. The questions were not asked July 24. py PeRT k PERRY 15c.per copy 20 Pages Volume 107 PORT PERRY. ONTARIO. Wed August 1. 1973 No 41 | Brooklin area farmer named chairman of Durham Region The announcement from Queens Park yesterday that former county warden Wal- ter Beath will be chairman of the new Region of Dur- ham pleased both the can- didates for mayor of this area. Candidate Lawrence Mal- colm told the STAR he has known Mr. Beath for some time and, 'I don't think I have ever met a more fair- minded man." Mr. Malcolm said that he does not think it would have been possible to make a better choice. *'I am Youth killed near Uxbridge Wayne Bodner, 23, of Mississauga was killed Sunday night when the 68 Dodge he was a passenger in swerved out of control and rolled over in the ditch about 6 p.m. Police believe the car, driven by James Swallow, 20. of Toronto, was' north- bound on the second con- cession of Uxbridge Town- ship when it swerved to avoid a dog on the road. The car went into the ditch. The passenger was thrown from the car and killed. Both the driver and the dog were unhurt. Damage to the car was about $900. i very pleased," he commen- ted. Jerry Jackman thinks that the choice of Mr. Beath should please everyone in the region. "He is a very intelligent man," said Mr. Jackman," and he is a farmer and acceptable to our people up here' (in the Port Perry area). Mr. Beath is 54 years old. He farms near Brooklin, is married and has two mar- ried sons. The new supermayor was Reeve of East Whitby Township from 1955 to 1959 and Warden of the County in 1959. He was Chairman of the Central Ontario Joint Plan- ning Board in 1965, and chairman of the Oshawa Area Planning & Develop- ment Study in 1972. Walter Beath was born in Simcoe County in 1919. He moved to this area in 1930. As Regional Chairman he will preside over meetings of regional council when it takes office January 1. May redesignate land for apartment buildings William Brock of Simcoe Street was the only, *'con- cerned citizen" to raise questions regarding an application to redesignate a triangle of land on the waterfront near Birdseye Centre Park when the Ontario Municipal Board conducted a hearing into the application at the municipal hall last Friday. The land is presently designated for recreational use only. property, Port Perry Deve- lopments Ltd., would like it to be redesignated so apart- ment buildings could be built there. The board reserved its decision. If the decision is in Owners of the' favour of the application Port Perry Developments will still have to ask Village Council to rezone the land before apartments can be built. Mr. Brock"s objections were based on the assump- tion that lakefront land should be used for the benefit of the entire com- munity. Apartment buildings would not even bring any new business to Port Perry, he argued, becasue the people who move into the apartments would have been living somewhere else in the area anyway.
