12 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, July 28, 1987 Aldred's, Sunrise beach residents opposed | (From page 1) that the original intent valid. He suggested that if council did not change its' mind (about joining the two roads), that it may be necessary to go to court and have a judge make a decision on the issue. A further delegation was made to council by Mr. J. C. Muckle, speaking on behalf of the Aldred's Beach residents, "I am very disappointed that you (Council) have backed down on your word after saying in 1984 that the roads would not be joined", he said. is still He went on to say that the. residents were very concerned about future development in the area, as well as the health stan- dards because of septic systems and the water supply. "Our water table is going down", he told coun- cil. "We (the ratepayers) were suc- cessful in having you rescind your motion once, and we hope you will re-consider again" he concluded. Following the two deputations, Mayor Jerry Taylor who had been on the firing line for most of the night, tried to explain council's reasons for deciding to join the two beach roads. He told them that through their best planning advice and pressures from various services like the fire departments, ambulance services, roads departments, etc. council decided that putting the road through was in the best interst of the Township. When asked why they (council) changed their minds in 1984 again- st opening the roads Mayor Taylor said that it was a different council at that time and he felt that the council of the day had "reluctantly agreed to rescind the motion", because of pressure from the ratepayers. "We must take the opportunity when the land becomes available to join the beach roads, not only here (Aldred's/Sunrise) but around the Island', said the Mayor. He went on to explain that as a council, the members try to plan the community by using the advise of township planners so they don't get trapped into a situation that can't be corrected later. Following the: Mayor's remarks, Mr. Aldred questioned Mr. Taylor about the sources of the pressure the townhip was getting, and would not accept the Mayors word that there was no documentation to back up comments made by the Fire Marshall's office some three or four years ago. A number of times during the meeting there were accusations voiced from the audience suggesting that council members were telling lies, and they had been less than honest about what is going on with the road extension. It was their contention that the ratepayers of the two beaches should have been notified about the intention to change the by-law, and extend the roads. \But Mayor Taylor answered the allegations by saying that council is not required to notify ratepayers about work being done on township property. At one point during the meeting, Mr. Muckle insinuated that the roads on his beach (Aldred's) had been ignored since council resin- ded the motion a couple of years earlier. "It's almost like council has said, we'll show them, and then not give us any service," he said. Both councillors Hall and" Graham said that they felt they were acting on the best advice made available to them, and that they had not heard anything during the deputation to make them ANOTHER PROGRAM FROM ASSURED HOUSING FOR ONTARIO.

There were a few heated words between councillor Don Cochrane who represents Ward 3, and mem- bers of the beaches as they tried to find out why he had changed his mind and voted in favour of the roads being extended. Following the deputation council made no decsion to rescind the motion, and unless there is a change of heart in the near future, Aldred's and Sunrise Beaches may well have access from either end.

"The winds of dispair," Baha'u'llah wrote, areas, blow ing from every direction; and the strife that divides and afflicts the human race is daily increasing. The signs of impending convulsions and chaos can now be discerned, in- asmuch as the prevailing order ap- pears to be lamentably defective." This prophetic judgement has been amply confirmed by the common experience of humanity. Flaws in the prevailing order are con- spicuous in the inability of sovereign states organized as United Nations to exorcize the spectre of war, the threatened col- lapse of the international economic order, the spread of anarchy and terrorism, and the intense suffer- ing which these and other afflic- tions are causing to increasing millions. Indeed, so much have ag- gression and conflict come to characterize our social, economic and religious systems, that many have succumbed to the view that such behaviour is intrinsic to human nature and therefore ineracicable.
