' . J I i As we 4 i "V2 o's © @® Pit operators must apply for new licence Townships designated under Pits & Quarries Act now include Scugog and Mariposa. By a recent Order in Coun- # cil. 142 additional townships were designated under the Pits and Quarries Control Act: which regulates the operation of gravel pits and quarries. Included on the list were the geographic town- ships of Bexley, Eldon, Mari- posa, Scugog. Cartwright, Fenelon, Verulum, Ops, Cavan. Emily, Harvey, Smith, Ennismore, Oton- abee. South Monaghan, Aln- wick, Asphodel, Belmont, Douro, North Monaghan, Dummer. All the townships in the Lindsay District have now been designated -under the Act. Gravel pits have been the subject of much controversy withresidents, and itis hoped the regulations of the Act will make possible a more under- standing relationship between the pit operators and the public. However; the Ministry is concerned that a ifficient long term supply of ggregate must be available \ or production, and is co- operating with various plan- nmng agencies to achieve that goal. Gravel is not a renew able resource like our forests. The Act is not intended to close existing operations, but to encourage rehabilitation of pits and to reduce environ- mental impacts, while still permitting the use of the resource. The Act requires all oper- ators of gravel pits in the designated townships to obtain a licence from the Minisry of -Natural Resources if they wish to continue their operations. Operators have until Novem- ber 3rd, 1975 in which to apply for a licence. Otherwise, the gravel pit or quarry will be closed until a licence is issued. Pit operators are advised not to delay their application until the last minute, as they will require the assistance of an Ontario Land Surveyor or a Professional Engineer in Preparing the necessary site plans which must accom- pany each application. Fur- ther information on the regul- ations are available from the District Office in Lindsay. According to Scugog Town- 94 ELLA STREET -- Superior Aluminum PORT PERRY, ONT.

Telephone: 362-1848 ship deputy clerk Victor Malcolm, the designation will affect two such pits in Cartwright, but doubts whether any problems would result. He said it was his under- standing that existing pit operators need simply apply for the licence. New oper- ations, however, would be required to meet government regulations in order to qualify for the Ticence. Mr. Malcolm said the strin- 'gent regulations call for a detailed engineering plan by the operator, as well as measured to ensure protect- ion of the environment. Regulations also call for such things as screening such operations to maintain the ascetic value of the area and land reclamation. So stringent are the new regulations, according to Mr. Malcolm, 'that some gravel operators have simply gone out of the business rather than meet the increased costs. Pits in the former Reach township are unaffected, as they have been operating under the Act since Septem- ber of 1973. Scugog News On Saturday several Island children went into the Uxbridge walk, for Cystic Fibrosis. Parents and adults were surprised to see many of them finish the 20 to 23 mile hike. This makes us all more conscious of this child and adolescent disease. The walkers, through their own discomfort think more of children who are less fortun- ate. On Sunday Rev. Pogues story for the children was based orf information about the 'Deception' plant of Africa. It has a very attrac- tive, sweet nut which looks like many others. when eaten in large quantities, it affects the brain and can drive people insane and even cause death. For children, this can be compared to the little deceptions that seem harmless at first. Some of these attractions may be in white lies, borrowing without returning, selfishness, pro- crastination and drugs. After awhile these things leave a mark and even destroy many youths. As the adults were par- taking of the Sacrament of the Communion, as part of the final act of remembering and celebrating Church Union, it was fitting to rem- inisce. Mr. Pogue discussed the thoughts of Jesus at the Last Supper when he tried to interpret the coming storm of events and their effect. Earlier in history, a lamb had been sacrificed in order that people might live and so it would be with Him. As He administered the first Sacra- ment, he requested His fol- lowers to "Remember". This led to a review of the lives of the men who dedicat- ed their lives to the Church and Union. Again, we recalled Dr. Pidgeon, once a Presbyterian moderator and finally the first United Mod- erator. Dr. Chown, as the father of the United Church and Wm. Gunn from the Congregational Church who became the third moderator of the United. We also remember the earlier people who made their contribution to our pre- sent church. Again we remind you of Island events like the "Head" Church Bake Sale on June 28th, the Stanley Prod- ucts demonstration at the W.I. meeting, June 25th in the Community Hall. July 2nd is the night when every- one works hard and enjoys a real strawberry treat at the community Hall, this year. Get your tickets early from Mrs. Earl Reader or other ladies who contact you. Last week you received your Auction Sale fliers for July 12th. Please pin them up for reference. In the mean- time gather up your dona- tions for the pickup. Tonights W.I. meeting at the Hall at 8 p.m. should really touch the coin collect- ors. For roll call each person is required to bring an old one and tell something about it. Mrs. Waite from the Travel Agency will be the guest speaker. On Friday, Mrs. Gladys Cuss of Toronto visited with her school day friend Mrs. Irene Carter. In those days, they were Gladys Collins and Irene Redman. Mrs. Ethel Redman is coming along quite well and will .be coming to the new Nursing Home when ar- rangements can be made: She will be so much closer to home and Port Perry friends. The school bus drivers are very busy this week taking children on educational trips including the police station and the new zoo. 9% PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, June 18, 1975 -- 23 Vacationers advised to take rabies precautions Before you take your dog on vacation, make sure he's had his rabies shot. For safety's sake, Ontario Minis- try of Agriculture and Food extension veterinarian Dr. H. J. Neely advises that the family pet be vaccinated at least 10 days before departure. Dr. Neely says: "In most parts of Ontario, rabies is endemic in our wildlife. It's possible for the family pet to be fascinated by foxes and skunks, which are mainly responsible for the transmis- sion of rabies to pets." He issues a strong warning to parents to keep their children away from foxes and skunks. These animals assume abnormal behavior if infected with rabies. Under normal circumstances, they will try to avoid people but Alcan Siding when infected, they become aggressive and move into inhabited areas. "In recent years, it has been found that some bats are also capable of spreading the disease. Usually the bats are nocturnal and are not infrequent visitors to -the campfire," the veterinarian says. '"The important thing is to try to avoid them, but if you are exposed to a bite.or scratch, consult a physician immediately." The rabies virus is trans- mitted through the saliva of a rabid animal. Call a physic- ian promptly if anyone comes in contact with it. Dr. Neely emphasizes that any animal suspected of hav- ing rabies must be reported to the nearest office of the Health of Animals Branch, Agriculture Canada, Ottawa.
