eta ea rm Towa RR AL 8 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, August 10, 1999 {7 "Scugog"s Community Newspaper of Choice" Basement apartment passed inspections To the Editor: On page 8 of the Aug. 4 Port Perry Star, Dale Forsythe claims to be concerned with his son's safety at his ex-wife's house even after the house met all by-laws. The house in ques- tion on Hwy. 7A was vis- ited by Captain Balser, Chief Fire Prevention Officer for the Township of Scugog Fire Department, and Bill Henshall, Municipal Law Enforcement Officer for the Township of Scugog. On June 24, Captain Balser had a few con- cerns to be rectified. These were done and re- inspected on July 26, and on this date, the house met all require- ments of section 9.8 of the Ontario Fire Code and those of the Scugog Fire Department. The Electrical Safety Authority also visited 'the premises on July 7, they had two changes to be done. These were completed and re-.- inspected on the same day and the premises, passed, both upstairs and downstairs. On July 27 Bill Henshall returned to inspect that the stove in the basement had been removed and that the cooking was being done upstairs; the house was being used as a single family dwelling. It passed. On July 26, I contact- ed my lawyer to apply to have the property re- zoned. If for some rea- son the application is rejected, I will continue to do my cooking upstairs so I do not con- travene the provisions of the rural zoning by- law. Mr. Forsythe would have his time better spent resolving issues with his ex-wife instead - of trying to stir-up trou- ble where it doesn't exist. He should worry about the health and safety conditions of his own house before he worries about anybody else's. Blaine Sleep, Blackstock Township of Scugog FIRE DEPARTMENT requires |" VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS LETTERS Students' 'famine' raised almost $5,000 To the Editor: As President of World Vision Canada, I would like to thank the many committed students and organizers in the Port Perry area who helped make the 30 Hour Famine a success in 1999. To date, the event has raised a record $3.1 million for needy children around the world. Students in your community raised $4,498. This money will be used to help Kosovar refugees, orphans in Rwanda, street kids in Cambodia and Romania, chil- dren of war in Uganda and needy children here in Canada. The 30 Hour Famine is a national event. This year more that 136,000 students across Canada went with- Musicales, plays, made great Sunday evenings To the Editor: Sunday evenings this summer have been an enjoyable experience with the fine entertain- . ment that has been pro- vided on the waterfront in Palmer Park. Talented musicians, singers, along with a Shakespearian play pre- sented by a cast of tal- ented and enthusiastic actors and actresses, were appreciated by all who attended these con- certs. More entertainment is planned for the com- ing Sunday evenings, so consult your local paper for information. Our thanks to Alec Ingram and all who help to make these evenings possible. N.R.

Dave Toycen, President, World Vision Canada | Reported crime should be investigated by the police To the Editor: In the Star July 20 in Random Jottings, Peter Hvidsten writes that the police are unable or unwilling to investigate minor incidents of graffi- ti vandalism. Mr. Hvidsten suggests efforts should be made to appre- hend the culprits. this, my own experience with the judicial system to bring perpetrators of a While I agree with crime to justice was fruit- less. In my case, the police (and the courts) were unable to get my mail back although they know who has it and cul- prits admit to having my property in their posses- sion. I still feel that all crimes should be investi- gated; after all, where do you draw the line?
