Easy To Ban Dumping Harder To Enforce It Whitchurch-Stouffville Town Council passed a no dumping of garbage or other debris on its roads bylaw the other day but wondering at the same time how you enforce it. “It might be kind of hard to catch someone doing it," ventured Mayor Ken Laushway. VCouncillorV Betty van Nostâ€" rand was a little more optimist- ic. She suggested that someone dumping garbage might “leave some personal evidence behind” which could help identify them. Most of the councillors win-l ced at ’the idea indicating that it wouldn’t be a very nice task for the person delegated to “search for the evidence." Mrs. van Nostrand explain- ed that the bylaw wasn’_t meant to catch the odd person who fired a bottle out a car window but to get “people who leave their garbage on the side of the road." Mayor Laushway'closed the subject by commenting that a way would be found to catch up with the violators. WAml, finally, a warning to all violators. Maximum fine $300.

There‘s an old story to the affect that you don’t change your problems by changing your scene. Council decided Tuesday af- ternoon of last week to pass a resolution to authorize prepara- tion of a bylaw “to restrict the use of motorboaits on Preston Lake under a section of the Municipal Act.” Mr. Hudson is in the same place. It‘s his municipality that has changed. But he still has the same problem. Mayor Ken Laushway sti'll‘ appeared to know just “how do you intend to enforce it?” 'Coun'cillor Betty van Nost- rand said there were sections under the Act which were ap- plicable to the problem al- though she couldn’t state the exact sections at the meeting. This could apply to Whit- church-Stouffville business- man Al Hudson. Only yith a slight difference. Councillor Merlyn Baker said the restrictinns; involved legis- lation “as 'regards such “op- erations being a nuisance which is contained in ‘the Act." Mayor Laushway pointed out earlier suggestions by the mun- icipality‘s solicitor to the effect that it would be difficult to pin- point just what was a nuisance or what wasn’t one. fiCouncillor van Nustrand ob- served that the bylaw would “act as a deterrent.” She said the residents of the lake area had agreed at a rec- ent (public meeting with coun- cil to “police the lake them- selves but they pointed out that they have to have the tools to do it. This bylaw will be one of those tools.” "Counéinor Gordon Ratcliff admitted to being puzzled by the latest bylaw. ‘77I‘Sihdfildn’f the word ‘ban' be in it instead of ‘restrict’? I thought that's what we wanted Regional Government OK . . But Needs Study The Town of Whitchurch - Stouffville isn’t opposed to reg- ional government but it’s also not opposed to the’ province standing back and taking a look at how it’s going. This seemed to be council's attitude Tuesday afternoon of last week when it got around to endorsing a resolution from‘ the City of St. Catharines call- ing on the province to: “Withhold the implementa-' tion of regional government in other areas until the regional structures that exist in Niagara and other parts of Ontario have undergone a critical and de- tailed examination to provide essential information and assist; in the planning of future local: government reform.” The resolution termed re-! gional government as provingi to be full of inequities. duplicafi tion. and resulting in increase The re gional go to be full tion. and ing costs. In supporting the resolution, Whitchurch - StouffVille Coun- cillor Betty van Nostrand em- phasized she wasn’t unhappy with regional government. Mayor Ken Laushway noted that “they didn't support the resolution at the regional lev- el" but he wasn't opposed to endorsation of the resolution as far as the province reviewing the situation. “I think regional government is the answer," she said. “But I do agree with the province making a study on just how it is presently proceeding." Similar sentiments were echoed by Councillor Merlyn Baker who also was for “taking a look at the situation."

Tickets are now on sale for the All Saint’s Annual Chicken Barbecue -â€" $2.50 for adults and $1.25 for children. The Guide and Brownie mother and daughter banquet was held May 18 at 6:30 pm. Rev. Neville Bishop said the grace before the chicken din- ner. The banquet was chaired by King District Commissioner Mrs. Eileen Bancroft-Wilson, assisted by York Area Deputy‘ Commissioner Mrs. Millicent Knight, and King District Guider Mrs. Ruth Gray. One hundred and fifty persons at- tended including the 2nd King Company, 3rd, 4th, and 5th King Packs. For entertainment, the Guides presented a skit on the "Right and Wrong Way of Camping", and the Brownies did a "Tweenie" program on the art of semaphores.

Councillor Ratcliff said that "the final solution still rests with the province." Council had decided earlier to ban motorboats but had re- treated on the matter with its solicitor. At the time Mr. Laushway had informed council that “there is some doubt whether we have the authority and it could also cost us a lot of mon- ey in legal fees." He acknowledged that even if council passed the bylaw that there would appear little chance that it would become effective in time for the sum- mer months “especially if some decide to object to the bylaw.” The mayor said the final an- swer lay in the town’s overall zoning bylaw for the municip- ality which is still in the proc- cess of being shaped. Council has decided to hold back from passing the bylaw deferring it to committee for further study. Subsequent meetings with ratepayer associations from Preston Lake resulted in last week’s decision to have another go at passing a bylaw.
