28 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Aug. 27, 1975 Penitentiary committee to strive for useful report Overall opinion among the eight membegs appointed to a penitentiary study commit- tee to show confidence in the "Four For -- Four Against" committee's ability to work together and come up with some kind of useful report to Scugog Township Council. Contacted last week follow- ing a Tuesday meeting of "anti-pen"' members of 'the community, representatives generally considered their tasks gs fact gathering - very useful before any decision is made. Newly-elected Cartwright representative, James Catty, an accountant with a Toronto area firm, called ,for the setting up of a meeting of the complete committee "as soon as possible", and the setting up of "ground rules" so the committee can work . effectively. "We must look at all the facts," hesaid. "I'm not sure that all the information made available to-the people of Scugog so far is entirely accurate." Although he does not wish to draw out such matters, he said, that no one should be too hasty about getting the infor- mation that must be obtained before any decision is made. "The problems, at least," he said, 'should be outlined - as soon as possible. I'd like to "see the mayor call a meeting next week, if possible," " While Mr. Catty questioned the accuracy of information made available so far, fellow Committeeman Greg Fedyk, more blunt, calling "inaccur- ate and biased" the infor- . . mation by the government, 4 council, the Scugog Chamber of Commerce, as well as the coverage of the issue by the Port Perry STAR. The answers to questions supplied have been all one- sided, Mr. Fedyk states. He said council's investigations in Warkworth, revealed the same one-sideness. The answers, he states, depend on thekind of questions you ask. '""Maybe, we could have asked different questions and got different answers." The Port Perry STAR's coverage of the issue has been similarly biased, Mr. Fedyk states, and~ asserted that the paper's report on Millbrook and Warkworth Penitentiaries in the July 9 issue was an example of the biased coverage. The same thing holds true to the STAR"s story as coun- cil's investigations, accord-. ing to Mr. Fedyk. The .answers. depend on. the questions. Council has previously stated that their investigat- ion in Warkworth had been a fact-finding trip, and was conducted without any effort . to approve or disgpprove anything. This paper's survey in both Warkworth and Millbrook was both an at-randam on- the-street survey and a series of interviews with prison and municipal officials. ~~ He deplored council's reversal of their earlier decision opposing the peni- tentiary, and took it to be an example of local power Rolitics. He said that had he made the request to recon- sider, he would have been laughed down, "But they acted pretty quickly, when Dymond sug- gested it," he said. (M.P.P. in favour of the penitienary, asked council to re-open the Dr. Matthew Dymond, repre- senting a number of residents question at the July 20 meet- ing of Scugog Council. The vote on \a. Kenny-Brinkman motion to that effect was' taken while Coun. Reg Rose, one of the three councillors opposing the "penitentiary, was away on holidays.) Any urgency on the matter, he said, depends on just what people would like to see, and while he sees no need for urgency, he suggested that only enough time be taken to explore all the facts. He sees no travelling involved, but said he was willing if that's what is decided must be done, . Asked if the committee will be able to work together effectively, Mr. Fedyk said it could. "It is made up of intelligent people," he said. "I think we all must work together to resolve the matter as soon as possible." In a pre-election address, committeeman Nigel Harvey questioned the financial figures given by government as an estimate. of how much the community would benefit. Mr. Harvey also said he feared that a penitentiary here would work against the community's asthetic reput- ation as well as the ambitious plans of those in the commun- ity who want the community to become known for its theatre and cultural activities. Dr. Dymond, appointed to the "jn favour" section of the committee two weeks ago, has stated earlier his optim- ism about the ability of the committee to work together. He warned, however, that the committee's .work will have tocome to an end and a decision will * have to be made. *, That decision, he stated, would have to be made by council. Bastion Benschop doubted if the committee would find answers in a hurry. "If they (the four on the committee in - favour) tell us something, they will 'have to produce LS some facts to back it up.: On ¢ the other hand, they aren't going to believe everything we say." Mr. Benschop also _ - suggested that a meeting be held of the four opposing members, priot to any full committee meeting. 5G Mr. Benschop also favoured a plebiscite to settle the question, a view strongly . opposed by others including Dr. Dymond. . 9 RED & WHITE HANDLES ONLY GOVERNMENT INSPECTED MEATS!
