May 2, Port Perry Star. As the owners of the land in the aforementioned, we feel it is necessary to correct some discrepancies reported in the ar- ticle to avoid any misunderstan- ding as to why the council voted in favour of the severance. First of all, the land is not a 'farm' now, has never been one, nor will it ever be a 'farm.' The majority of the hundred acres is hazard land and environmental- ly protected. The M.N.R. and Conservation Authority have no objections to another house being erected on the land. The land was also assessed by the Farm Credit Corporation and deemed to be financially risky to convert into a working farm, as the expenditure for this conver- sion would not be realized from farming. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food have also stated that another residence on the land VINYL - ALUMINUM - BRICK We only use hot water. Hot wax is available on request and yes, we clean windows too.

We certainly would not agree with prime, workable agricultural land being converted into residential properties, but with more people looking for af- fordable places to live, perhaps it is time that land unsuitable for Explains severance of 100 acres farming should be reassessed and rezoned to accomodate more families into the area. After all, Scugog Township is a beautiful place in which to live and raise a family.

Example - over the last three years, I have witnessed "mid- night litterbugs" depositing their garbage in and around the large bins in this rear parking lot (gar- bage including mattresses, chairs, etc.). Sometimes during a long weekend the large garbage bins seem as popular as a late night fast food drive-thru. And now with the dump being closed, it is more popular than ever. If I personally were to take my garbage out at night and deposit it in another citizen's back yard, there would be nothing short of a community-wide manhunt. The next time citizens of Port 'Perry are anxious to drive through the rear of Lakeview Plaza and deposit garbage in the bins, I wish they would keep in mind that we are watching you! P.S. This rural route is a dif- ferent story. D. Griffin Port Perry A Tribute to Mothers (From page 7) She helps us learn our first words, take our first steps, prepare us for kindergarten - and then comes responsibility. This is when your teacher and your mom gang up on you. At this point sometimes your father must step in and help your mother remind you of your new responsibility. Your teacher ex- pects a certain amount of respon- sibility from you also. As you grow older, more and more is expected from you. Sometimes we think our mothers ask too much of us, but really they don't. Compared to what they do in the course of the day, what they ask of us is so small. It's just hard for us to get used to being more and more independant. When we've been used to having everything done for us. I guess this is just part of growing up. Although our mothers devote most of their time cooking clean- ing and caring for us they also spend a lot of time doing other things with us. They take the time to help us with our homework, en- Free space To the Editor: (Re: Hidden Federal sales tax - April 25). .When did the Port Perry Star start providing free advertising space for the Progressive Conser- vative Party? Mr. Stevenson has a budget which allows him to in- form constituents of the govern- ment's activities. When he wanted to give his undoubtedly biased opinion of Mr. Wilson's proposed tax reforms he should not have used what appeared as an "informative" article. courage us to do well and help us with the many problems we face everyday in our lives. Some mothers go out to work everyday and still find time to spend with us on top of everything else they do. It is true that we don't always see eye to eye with our mothers but we must remember that they are only trying to do what is best for us. After all they want us to grow up and be good parents too. There are many different mothers in the world. They come in many different sizes and shapes. Some short and others tall, some are skinny while others are not. Although our mothers may all look different they all have one thing in common. The love for their children. We can always count on that throughout our lives. I know I can. Although our mothers are special people we sometimes forget our fathers. Mine would like it to be known, that behind every good mother, is a great father! But there again, that's another story altogether. for MP? Like the rest of us, his opinions should be expressed in the editorial section of the Newspaper. Yours sincerely, Lisa Feasby, Editor's Note: It has always been the practise of the Port Perry Star to provide space for comments, statements and messages from the M.P. and M.P.P. who repre- sent this area, no matter what party they belong to. Keep feet planted To the Editor: For the past few weeks the topic of snowmobile control has come to print with many comments be- ing made for and against these controls. Both council and the snowmobile clubs are in contact with each other and intend to meet in the future to deal with these problems, Hopefully without the need of a number of restricted by-laws. Let us all attempt to keep both our feet planted firmly on the ground. Firing verbal guns at each other will do little to help. You will all be kept informed of the outcome of these meetings or any other information which is important regarding this issue. Keith Brown, President - C.0.R.S.A.
