12 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Feb, 16, 1977 "ALE ANER A) A C30 SSC Apartment for seniors The proposed Grumble Hill subdivision, on 1% acres of land between Paxton and MacDonald Streets and Simcoe Street, meets all the réquirements needed to get the official . go-ahead from the munici- pality. "So why was the subdivi- sion passed over in the Deer hunt i continued : who obey all the rules any- way?" Coun. Taylor suggested that the three-day hunt is a , way of controlling the hunt- ing of deer, and tends to "get it over "with all at once". But Asselstine wasn't only : worried about the problems ; of controlling hunters. He © voiced opposition to the idea tof hunting in general. ; "They've killed all the wild- i life up north, now they're % coming down here to kill it i all. There used to be a time , When you could see deer "around here all the time, | but no more," he said. The motion to disallow the i hunt was Coun. Asselstine's, i seconded by Coun. Richard iDrew. "I'm opposed to any f kind of killing," said Drew j after the meeting. Coun. i Neil McLaughlin cast the : third vote in favour of the i motion, while Coun. Don 'Crosier, Reg Rose and Jerry Taylor voted against. Mayor Lawrence Mal- 'colm, whose earlier motion "to allow the hunt found no seconder, cast the tie- "breaking vote that defeated "the Asselstine motion. > township's Phase I develop- ment allocations," Grumble Hill partner Dr. W. J. Cohoon wants to know. "We haven't hired high- powered consultants to pre- sent our .case to you," smiled Dr. Cohoon. 'We've made our operations low profile, so perhaps we're getting low profile consider- ation." Dr. Cohoon said only one other subdivision meets all the requirements like the wGrumble Hill proposal, yet _the others have moved ahead. The item was tabled at the Monday meeting of township council, apparent- ly to be lifted at a special meeting on Thursday to dis- cuss area development. Cohoon's two-fold present- ation to council also includ- ed a proposal to build apartments for seniors on a site behind the car wash on Scugog Street. Although the property owners have been trying to interest the provincial government in the land for their proposed senior citizen housing units, negotiations have not resulted in action. The government's offer keeps changing, stated Cohoon, and he -seriously doubts if any agreement will be reached. What Cohoon proposes is a privately-funded project of apartments for seniors, who are retired and wish to move out of homes they can no longer keep up. He said such apartments would pro- vide a two-fold benefit to the community. By provid- ing such facilities, it would do a service for senior citi- zens in the community who 13 A Yo Ee LIL IR iy SNA HESS SPAHR FAM READE ERA LAN im va LAD AA NES XU oh th wh RNEAAR AHR Raasshiiiivaligin Scores of youngsters from Port Perry as well as Blackstock and Oshawa high schools participated in a series of workshops held by the NDWT thestre company at Port Perry High School and Town Hall 1873.
