"The Seven Lively Arts" Last weekend and during this past week members of the Borelians, the local thea- tre group have been hard at work putting the final touches on the next stage roduction. Presentations of an hilarious comedy written by Harold Kennedy and Robert Koesis "The Seven. Lively Arts' will be made in the High School Auditorium on Friday and Saturday, June 7 and 8. Some of the main charac- ters were "shot" during a rehearsal Sunday night and the couple embracing-in the top left picture are Kip Wilson, playing Stefanie showering Frederick Sym- ington played by David Lepp Graduates: At a recent graduation, Mary Nelson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Nelson, Port Perry received her B.Sc. Phm,Degree from the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto. The graduation exercises took place May 31, in Convocation Hall, Toronto, where Dr. Pauline McGibbon, Chancel- lor, conferred the degrees. Mary has been accepted for a Hospital Pharmacy _Residency at University Hospital in London, Ontario and will. commence her duties there July 1st. with a great deal of affect- ion. Mrs. Diane Lackie who interprets the dance instrue- tres, Bobo, remains quite cool when she is confronted by a gun in the hand of Benjamin Bollinger, a per- son of rather doubtful repu- tation, played by Mrs. Lackie's son Shawn. These are only two of many scenes of intrigue and humour the public will have an oppor- tunity to watch on June 7 and 8. The comedy is in three acts with a cast of three men and four women. The time is the present and a New York apartment is where all this is happening. By-law on sick leave tabled for third time A bylaw dealing with sick leave and sick leave credits was tabled for the third time last Wednesday by Regional Council. ] Several councillors did not like a provision in the bylaw which says an employee will be entitled to a sick leave gratuity equal to his or her salary 'for one half the number of days of sick leave standing to his or her credit" not exceeding six months of his or her salary at that date, provided the employee has had one year of continuous service. Coun. Ashe criticised this provision saying it was 'over generous'. "This isn't a sick leave benefit" he said "its a cash bonus for someone who sticks it out for one year." Coun. Ashe said a similar bylaw in Pickering provides Everything by Ashok Chandwani 40 exhibitors, 34 of them from Port Perry, will part- icipate in the Port Perry Chamber of Commerce's annual Home Show on June 13, 18 and 15. Howard Hall, chairman of the retail merchants com- mittee which is organizing the home show, told the STAR "everything you need for your home will be on display at the Home Show." "Everything" includes furnishings. stereoes, tele- visions, musical instru- for three years continuous service before such a benefit operates. In some Toronto boroughts the figure is 10 vears. he added. Another provision that met with disapproval from councillors dealt with an' employee receiving compen- sation from the Workmen's Compensation Board after 'an accident. The bylaw says 'no period of absence should be charged against the employees sick leave credit with respect to the first full year of absence." The bylaw was tabled after Coun. Mike Breaugh sugges- ted it be circulaed circula- ted among unions and mun- icipalities to discover whether or not it came into conflict with - existing agreements. Second Section Volume 108 - PORT PERRY, ONTARIO. Wednesday. June 5, 1974 - No. 32 Opinions differ a He mong councillors in regard to subdivision process by Ashok Chandwani Regional councillors fer- vently debated a process for subdivision in the region and approved it while meeting in a committee of the whole only to suspend approval at the time of adopting the commitiee's report to enable circulation of the proposed process in area municipal- ities before make a final decision. The proposed process for subdivision was presented in a joint report by the Planning and Development and Public Works: Com- mittees. The process suggests a single agreement between the Region and the sub- divider to cover all matters. Coun. Dewar, chairman of the works committee, urged council to 'adopt a process, gel the agreement and get on with the business.' He wanted council to adopt the process so it could be tested in actual operaticn tc discover any loopholes it may have which could then be plugged. Coun. Goodwin was against approving the pro- cess till a legal opinion was obtained on it, from the regional solicitor S.K. Jain. Coun. Keith Ross wante it approved so that '7,000 homes in the region can get underway." Coun. Malcolm (Scugog Mayor) said he could not "quarrel too much with the report" but what he didn't like was the schedule which said applications should go first to the Minister of Housing. He wanted the application to come to the area munici- pality first. Coun. Mason, Chairman of the Planning and Development Commit- tee told Coun. Malcolm that such a process would violate the provisions of the Planning Act. Coun. Pilkey was not con- vinced that the proposed agreement would avoid duplication and minimise processing time - two of its stated objectives. Coun.Margaret Shaw saw prolonged discussion on the subdivision process as a "power battle." "Let's get at Home Show, says Chairman ments, furniture suites, building materials, garden- ing equipment, tools for use on your home, decorating materials, paints, and any- thing else you can think of. "The whole purpose of the show' says Howard Hall "is to make local people aware of what is available in Port Perry." "The show also tells new- comers to Port Perry and surrounding areas where to shop for their needs' he adds. New participants this year include Flamingo Pastries who will display their pro- ducts at the show. There will even bicycle display. Attractions at the show will include a lounge and bar. The Chamber of Commerce will arrange for entertainment during the show, in the lounge. The fire department will have booth as will the Ambu- lance service for the first time. Several lucky draws will he conducted by the exhibi- be a tors. The Chamber of Commerce will give away free lottery tickets for the Olympic Lottery giving the lucky holders a chance to win a million bucks. Bell Canada will also have a special display. Admission to the show will be free and the timings will be 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Thursday and Friday (June 13 and 14) and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday (June 15). Howard Hall expects about 4.000 people to visit the Home "Show. busy" she said 'instead of rehashing the same items over and over again." Coun. Ken Lyall wanted the agreement "referred out the window," adding 'we are cutting our throats little by little" referring to the area municipalities. It fell upon Coun. Mike Breaugh to clinch the debate by forcefully arguing that further delay would be detri- mental. "It is this council that is causing the blockade, not the staff' he said refer- ring to his charge some weeks ago that the staff were tied up in bureaucratic red tape over a subdivision process. The Committee of the whole finally adopted the process only to refer it to the Executive committee for circulation among area municipalities ~~ when a motion to adopt the proceedings of the com- mittee was being considered. The referral motion was brought forward by Coun. Mike Breaugh after Council emerged from a sudden in camera session which lasted 65 minutes. The referral motion was passed without comment by Council.
