To honor her and to thank her for the years of contribution, teachers, music consultants and friends held a reception for her at Port Perry High School Monday night. Well over 100 people attended. Striking up a few notes is Mrs. "Hastings, while husband Frank and music consultant Mrs. Marion Williams looks on. The Canadian Penitentiary Service has never before forced any municipalities to accept an institution'in their communities against their wishes, a department repre- sentative told a Scugog Township special council meeting Monday night. If Scugog approves one here, inmates could be arriv- ing at a regional reception "centre here in about 2!» years. John Bennett, deputy Regional Director of the Ser- vice told members of council, as well as a packed council chamber gallery, that if local council didn't approve of such a development in the township, then they (the Penitentiary Service) would just "pack up and go away'. "We will not impose such an & institution on people that do' 'on noise Those waiting for passage of the noise bylaw before ratting on their neighbour's noisy.dog will have to wait, at least. another week. For a 'fourth week, the bylaw remained tabled to allow council to approach the Ontario Provincial Police. In short, council is seeking -to clarify areas of juris- diction to ensure the town- ship doesn't pay their bylaw enforcement officer to enforce area that the OPP claims responsibility. Main 'problem with the nois@thylaw seems to he enforcement, and Mayor not want it," he said. The representative, before the meeting at council's own request, made clear that there would be benefits not easily overlooked for 'the local community. Benefits like a federal grant in lieu of taxes that would be paid to the munici- palities. Although there is no way of telling exactly. how much that would be, a similar project in British Columbia provides an annual grant of $93,000. Also, the estimated staff of around 180 people ranging from administrators to cor- rection officers would come mainly from the community. Only about 25 per cent of any such staff would be brought in, from outside, said Mr. Bénnett, the rest would be hired locally, with first crack Flood control work scheduled ATER EN | ¢ $= ABI] 14 LATE ) d Raitt i 7 F We ' ved .

Scugog Ratepayers Assoc- ation president Bev Muir, speaking from the floor at the Monday meeting of council, got the commitment to attend such a meeting from Deputy Regional Director of the Penitentiary Service John Bennett. Mr. Bennett was on hand at the Monday meeting of coun- cil to outline his depart- ment's proposals for such an institution here. Mrs. Muir said Tuesday morning that a short meeting was held with Penitentiary Service representatives fol- lowing the Monday meeting, and the details were worked out. The public meeting will allow Mr. Bennett and peni- tentiary servicee infor- mation officer, Norman at jobs going to the closest Manpower Offices' appli- cants. The estimated annual bud- get of around $3 million, he said, would be divided two- thirds for payroll, and the other $1 million for goods and services, much of it bought locally. Much of the payroll, depending on where the staff would seek housing, would also remain in the com- munity. No more aqua-bowling!

According to Scugog Township Roads Superinten- "dent Ron MacDonald, how- ever, all that should cease later this month when the roads department will install new pipes under both John and Perry Streets in an effort to eliminate the prob- lem which has .plagued the club for years. Mr. MacDonald said the $12,000 in piping has already been purchased and will double the capacity, of the pipe il replaces.

A system where individ- uals placed their questions on a hist of other question, worked out well at the Mon- © day meeting, and Mrs. Muir asked that all questions be forwarded prior to the meeting to Ratepayers Association representatives or directly to Mrs. Muir. Organizers feel that using this method, more questions can be answered using less time. Scugog council answer for government...soon Although representatives of the Canadian Penitentiary Service didn't get the approval in principal they want from Scugog Township, Mayor Lawrence Malcolm said Monday council would have '"'word back soon" on the proposed establishment here of a regional (all- Ontario) reception centre for the processing of convicted criminals.
