Sponsored by the Reform Party rid- ing association in Durham, the Criminal Justice and Gun Control Rally April 30 will feature as its guest speaker MP 'Jack Ramsay, Reform's justice and gun control critic. "The reason for the rally is the gov- ernment's failure to come to grips with the root causes of criminal violence, and its effort to shift the blame away from itself to legal gun owners," said riding association president Evert Vroegh. Reformers are opposed to the legis- lation being proposed by the Liberal government in Ottawa. That bill, which received second reading March 29, calls for the creation of a national gun registry, tougher sentences for convictions of crimes involving guns, and banning of some types of firearms. Mr. Vroegh said the government is punishing the innocent. "This government, that failed to uphold existing laws... now cynically produces a new gun control bill to divert attention away from itself to legal gun owners," he said. He said the Reform Party has stated by resolution that if elected they would introduce legislation calling for "severe" punishment for the misuse of firearms, while protecting the right of private © citizens to own and use guns. The Sunday afternoon rally at Jubilee Hall, Lakeview Park in Oshawa, gets under way at 1:30 p.m. Also involved in organizing the event are the Sportsmens Alliance and local gun clubs, said Mr. Vroegh. | Greenbank shelter work to start By Kelly Lown Port Perry Star Work will begin next month on a new outdoor pavilion for Ianson Park in Greenbank. The facility, to be com- plete by October 31, is a joint project between the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Township of Scu- gOg. The shelter, to be used by a variety of user groups, will also allow the formation of a Farmers' Market. The total cost of the pro- ject is anticipated to be in the range of $36,000, in- cluding an additional $24,000 to be provided by the township. The Township itself will be putting $7,000 towards the project while the Lions Club and church will be donating $3,000 each. Lo- cal hall boards and ball teams have contributed $2,000 each and the Folk Music Society has commit- ted $1,000. Further donations of la- bor, tables and site prep- aration totalling $5,000 was received and fund- raising events have gar- nered an additional $1,000. The project will provide employment locally for truss companies and lum- ber yards and in the long- term will offer job opportu- nities as the Farmers Market begins operation.
