"A Famlly Tradition for 125 Years" "PORT PERRY STAR - Wednesday, October 16 1991 - 5 Former Ward 4 councillor By Julia Dempsey Neil McLaughlin has become the third candidate to declare his intention to run for the Ward 4 seat in the Nov. 12 mu- nicipal election. e says the garbage issue is the biggest reason he has decid- ed to throw his hat into the ring. "We have a big issue in Scu- gog -- mainly Ward 4 -- right now," Mr. McLaughlin said in regard to the possibility of a large scale landfill site within Cartwright's boundaries. "I appreciate thatitisabigis- sue, but there's more to being on council than that," he says. "Scugog needs business peo- ple who are able to handle the purse strings of the municipali- ty." Stating that he is not a mem- ber of Zero Garbage or Taxpay- ers Coalition Scugog, Mr. McLaughlin says he is running on his own merit and previous experience. He is a lifelong resident of the Cartwright area and has served the constituents of Ward 4 on two previous occasions (1976-77 and 1985-88). During the last election race three years ago, Mr. McLaugh- lin sought the regional council- lor seat, but lost in his bid for the position to Yvonne Christie. Taxes are a main concern for Scugog residents. He says a "zero type tax increase is great to work towards, but again, I don't think we can put at risk the quality of roads, parks and community halls we have. "How can we let them deteri- Neil McLaughlin orate?" he asks. "We'd be doing the wrong thing." As for the idea of a large, long-term, multi-regional land- fill site in Cartwright, Mr. McLaughlin says he would fight to keep any such dump out of Ward 4 and out of Scugog Township completely. He is not opposed, however, to a small scale site serving Scugog residents only. "I have lived beside a trans- fer station for the last 12 years and it hasn't affected my quali- ty of life," he says. During his last term on coun- cil, Mr. McLaughlin says the membership was split evenly between those who were for and against development. "I'm pro-development." _ He would like to see "limited Forder-Parks Insurance Brokers Inc.

Saying they all go hand in hand, Mr. McLaughlin adds "you can't attract industry without residential, which in turn helps commercial." Mr. McLaughlin owns and operates a water delivery busi- ness. He also drives a school bus part time and farms a little at his home. He intends on running a "zero budget campaign" by foe toring up and reusing signs from the last election. He is married to his wife Ka- thy and the couple have three school-aged children. "I enjoy the quality of life we have in Ward 4 and I want to maintain that." Body of man found in car A 35-year-old Willowdale man was found dead in his car on Concession 6 about 1 1/2 miles south of Hwy. 21 in Ux- bridge Township. According to Durham Re- gional Police, Harry Feige died as aresult of gunshot wounds. Police are treating the death as a homicide. Mr. Feige's body was found in his 1988 Toyota by a civilian at about 8 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 10. His body was taken to Toron- to for a post mortem. The vehi- cle was taken to the Centre of Forensic Sciences for expert ex- amination. Committee makes recommendations From Page 3 forth with recommendations to council on how it can avoid problems of this nature in the future. It recommended that council establish a guideline to deal with problems of dissimi- lar land use; amend the current noise bylaw to include industri- al areas using the Ministry of the Environment's guidelines for permitted noise levels; site plan agreements be entered into for any commercial or in- dustrial development and/or al- terations to these sites; and standard design drawings for commercial, industrial, institu- tional, multi-family include de- tailed screening for waste and recycling containers. Committee member Marilyn Pearce told the Star she was pleased with the ad hoc com- mittee's purpose and findings. "I think everyone thinks we haven't gone to the company or to the residents," Mrs. Pearce said. "This writesit all down." Copies of the report have been sent for comment to both Mother Jackson's Open Kitch- ens and to the residents. Com- ments are expected at council on Monday, Oct. 21.
