Suid "A Family Tradition for 132 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, September 1, 1998 - 5 From page 1 Councillor Carruthers stuck by his remarks, how- ever, noting that he is the only member on council who resides in ward 2 (Port Perry). ~ "Every day I am hear- Ing the same comments. They fear for the safety of their property and they fear walking the streets. | am telling you that the fear is there," he said. "If you lived here (Port Perry) you would know. I hear the comments all the time," he said. Councillor Gadsden sald he and his wife have taken walks in downtown Port Perry and in the parks after dark. "We have had very pleasant walks," he said, admitting that he was in the centre of one not so pleasant incident once. Councillor Gadsden took exception as well to his colleague making the comments about public safety in a committee meeting where they might be reported by the press. He said if the remarks were reported, it could be sending out the wrong message. At one point during the discussion, Councillor Carruthers said con- stituents have told him they fear going into a neighborhood park "where 10 to 12-year-olds are screaming the worst obscenities imaginable." The disagreement came up during a discussion on how to combat what Councillor Carruthers described as ever-increas- Port streets 'unsafe' ing incidents of vandalism to public property in the waterfront parklands in Port Perry and in other parks in the township. "There have been sev- eral (vandalism) invasions so far this summer," he said. This vandalism "is becoming very serious and very costly. By doing noth- ing, by not speaking out, we are sending a message that it (vandalism) is okay." A particular target is the washroom at the base- ball diamonds, he noted, and township staff are considering the installa- tion of strong steel doors as one method of dealing with the problem. Councillor Carruthers suggested that the munic- ipality start offering cash rewards to anyone who reports those responsible for damage to public prop- erty. Mayor Doug Moffatt said the township should post signs in the park let- ting people know that rewards will be given. The mayor also suggested that surveillance cameras might work as a deterrent. He said with all the money spent on policing these days, the police are still too busy to constantly patrol public parks. "The parents (of van- dals) must take some of the responsibility," said Mayor Moffatt. He said that if the township could got a few successful pros- ecutions in which parents are ordered to pay for the damage, it might send a message that could cut down on vandalism. Company appeals whopping levy have now in the account from commercial levy charges, From page 1 an appeal of the figure. But a business such as Old Port can ask for a ruling by an independent body like the township council, said Ms Nancekevill. While council has deferred making a decision on whether it will reduce the levy amount, at least one coun- cillor, Ward 4 rep Dave Dietlein, said the way the levy is calculated is not right. And Mayor Doug Moffatt pointed out that neither Scugog Township nor Durham Region assesses new com- mercial buildings with a development levy because they feel it will be a disincentive for new business to locate here. Ms Nancekevill said the school boards impose the commercial levy to help pay for new school sites and new schools.

Kerry Trombino, a representative of Durham's separate board, told the meeting that a new bylaw 1s in the works governing development fees, and it will no longer use the Toronto Real Estate Board's method of cal- culating building costs in Durham. Some members of council indicated Monday that the cost of construction in Toronto would vary considerably with costs in rural areas like Scugog, even if there were not savings by different building techniques as used on the Old Port building. Mr. Xidos said later Old Port has not submitted a figure as to what it considers would be a reasonable edu- cation levy. PORT PERRY STAR CROSSWORD 59 67 72 75 ACROSS 64. Hatcher of Lois & 27.
