1 B= EER ARE TT RE TR wm SR a DE A Family Tradition for 128 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, December 20, 1994 - 9 Saying thanks Cops hurt in Port Perry robbery to stage benefit hockey game As their way of saying thanks to a community that shows it cares, police officers wounded In a robbery here are staging a benefit hockey game in Port Perry next month. The game, to take place at the Scugog arena on Jan. 26, is still in the planning stages right now, said coordinator Roy Good, a Sergeant with Durham Regional Police. It will involve the Durham Police hockey squad facing off against an opponent -- just who hasn't been firmed up --in a 6 p.m. tilt. Proceeds will go to Community Memorial Hospital in Port Perry. Sgt. Good said the three offi- cers -- Constables Mark McConkey and Warren Ellis, and Det. Paul Mooy -- came up with the idea of a benefit game to show their appreciation for the flood of support they and their families received after the Oct. 20 robbery at the Bank of N oriizeal that left them wound- ed. "It was initiated as kind of a Cattlemen upset over legislation Members of the Ontario Cat- tlemen's Association (OCA) are disappointed the provincial government has forced the pas- sage of Bill 163: an act to amend various statutes related to planning and municipal mat- ters. - Ontario cattlemen are "very concerned" about provincial government directives on land use policies which limit oppor- tunities on privately owned land. OCA supports the concept of municipal planning, but be- lieves the legislation has sever- al flaws. The municipality gives up control to the province as lo- cal planning decisions will now be required to be consistent with provincial policies. Cattlemen say the issue is compounded when wetlands, Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI), Vulnerable, Threatened or Endangered Species habitat and other clas- sifications are identified by pro- vincial civil servants or their appointees without the knowl- edge or consent of the landown- er. Local municipalities are now required under the chang- esin Bill 163 to designate these identified areas on their official plan -- there is no choice. The removal of inappropriate or un- founded land use designations is a difficult process through the Ontario Municipal Board. These designations can affect the value of private properties and the use of such land, and the OCA maintains the desig- nations amount to expropria- tion without compensation. Ac- cording to the OCA, many landowners in Ontario are una- ware of such designations which have already been placed on the official plan for the mu- nicipality. The OCA is calling on the On- tario government to develop clear policies on individual landowner contact, follow-up and compensation before any classifications or designations are made on private land. Thank You," Sgt. Good said Monday morning. "The citizens of Port Perry came out gangbusters for us." He added the choice of Community Memorial as bene- ficiary of the game is a logical one; that's because the hospital 18 close to the hearts of the com- munity, and also because that's where the officers received pre- liminary treatment after being shot by two robbers fleeing the scene of the robbery. "Everybody of course went there first," said Sgt. Good. He added it's hoped the two civilians shot during the violent incident -- Bank of Montreal Manager Alan Knight and real estate agent Debra-Ann Taylor -- will be in attendance on the 26th. Constables Ellis and . McConkey were shot as they arrived on the scene in their cruiser, Const. Ellis in the fore- head and Const. McConkey in the jaw. Det. Mooy sustained severe injuries to his arm when the robbers opened fire on him.
