Tm mm A rT a, Pwr BR LT 6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, July 29, 1986 o » Santa Claus came to Conway Place last Saturday evening to hand out treats to the children and to present Hospital Board vice chairman Rod Foster (left) with a number of gifts for the kids at the hospital. Doug Hillier (right) of Conway Place said that the response to their 'Christmas in July' was very good and that they were happy to be able to give the hospital the gifts for the children's ward. The week-long promotion featured turkey with all the trimmings, and on Sunday night there was a magician pre- sent to entertain. Letters Thanks to Port Perry Dear Sir: As parents of murdered children, we were appalled when Clifford Olson was allowed to profit from the deaths of our children. We were fur- ther horrified when a British Colum- bia Appeal Court returned the . money to him after we had suc- cessfully fought a long battle to have the money taken from him. Smart Planning (From page 5) residents demanding No Re-Zoning on North St. Politicians to-day have to be more aware of what is being built in our community. They have to plan bet- ter and smarter because if they do not pay attention now, we are going to pay for it later. Our Industrial Park should be used on Durham Road 8. Yours truly, Roy Walker Smith, Port Perry. The fight to recover the money from Olson has been costly and we sincerely appreciate the support we have received from many across Canada. The people of Port Perry have been extremely generous in their support, and we wish to thank the people in Port Perry who have sent in donations to assist us in our fight for justice. Our appeal to have our case heard by the Supreme Court of Canada was heard by the Supreme Court on June 23rd and a decision is expected later this summer. Hopefully, the Supreme Court will hear our case, and if we win, it will set a precedent in that child murderers might never again be allowed to profit from the deaths of their victims. Any further donations to assist us in obtaining justice can be sent to Victims of Violence, Provincial Court House, 1A Sir Winston Chur- chill Square Edmonton, Alberta, TSJ OR2. Again, we thank the people of Port Perry, for their support. Sincerely, Gary Rosenfeldt, Director, Victims of Violence, Edmonton, Alberta.

Fred L. Johnson has been attemp- ting to have his lands severed since April 16 when he submitted his ap- plication. His request consisted of a proposal to permit the creation of one residential lot with frontage on Regional Road 19 (Shirley Road). The proposed lot would be an acre in size, which is half the size of the lands 'which support a detached dwelling on the eastern side. The subject lands are presently designated '"'Permanent Agricultural Reserve Area' in the Durham Regional Official Plan and severances in this designation are only permitted under limited cir- cumstances related to farm opera- tions. Planning Commissioner Dr. Mofeed Michael pointed out that the proposal put forth by Johnson did - not fall within these circumstances and as the zoning was RU-Rural in the Township of Scugog, a rezoning toan appropriate category would be necessary in order to allow the pro- posal to proceed. Michael also stated the applicant had submitted a land division ap- plication to the Regional Land Divi- sion Committee which was con- sidered on July 22, 1985 and denied. "The applicant has subsequently referred the committee's decision to the Ontario Municipal Board," said Michael, adding the Board had ad- vised the applicant that since the proposal does not confirm to the zon- ing by-law, a zoning by-law am- Finding home for animals A Scugog Township woman has been able to find good homes for six dogs that otherwise would have been put to sleep at the Goodwood Animal Control Centre. Marilyn Douglas, whose efforts were high-lighted in a Port Perry Star article three weeks ago, says response from the public to that ar- ticle, has been encouraging. She is in the process of trying to set up a network of concerned animal lovers like herself, who will work actively to find homes for dogs and cats. "You have to push people. When they see these animals, they just melt and take them in,' she told the Star Monday morning. Included among the dogs she has placed are two pure-bred Bouviers. And she says there are several English Spaniels waiting for homes. "While Ms. Douglas is pleased she has been able to find homes for the dogs, she is concerned about the number of cats and kittens who are also in need of good homes. Since the article appeared in the Port Perry Star, Ms. Douglas said several people have contacted her to find homes for pets they no longer want. Ms. Douglas, who describes herself as an 'animal nut," is deter- mined to find good homes for as many dogs and cats as possible before they have to be destroyed. If you think you can help, contact her at 985-2826. mendment should be sought. He stated that the ammendment was sought by the applicant only in order to allow an OMB hearing to proceed. The acre of land sought to be severed is presently in agricultural production as part of the surroun- ding farm land. A large beef feed lot is located a short distance to the west; a dwelling and crop land is located to the south and farm land and the Orange Hall located to the east. '"The area surrounding the site is characterized by active agricultural operations," said Michael. 'A re- cent visit indicated that lands on all sides of the site were planted i in corn or other crops." He added that the Ministry of Agriculture and Food advises that, persuant to the Agriculture code of Practise, a minimum distance separation should be at least 170 metres and, as a result, the proposal would conflict with that Code.
