R. Hill Council Wants Land Division Action Mayor William Lazenby, backed by council, asked Planning Director Hesse Ri- mon and Clerk Mack Clem- ent to make a definite effort by having present staff work overtime or by hiring addi- tional staff, to process ap- plications to the regional appointed Land Division Committee referred to the regional appointed Land Di- vision Committee referred to the town. at Monday's council meeting.. A separate record is to be kept of the cost. Mayor' Wifiiam Lazenby stated that the Land Divis- Councillor Lou Wainwright said he had been told at the region that the number of applications from Richmond Hill received and sent to this municipality as of July 18 was 49. “This concerns me because it concerns five peo- ple in my ward. Two made application in February and they were sent here in March and they haven't heard anything more." Sailboat Concession Open At Sibbald Pt. The sailboat concession is a new diversion for visitors to Sibbald Point Provincial Park on Lake Simcoe ac- cording to Ministry of Na- tural Resources Visitor Pro« grammar Chris Porter of Maple. "The Point provides shelter from the north- westerly and southwesterly winds until sailors have their boats launmed, their sails up and themselves pre- pared to face the lake." Porter said the concessio- naire has 15 Sunspot sail- Porter termed the park an ideal “location for sailboats." some say the best on the south shore of Lake Simcoe. Porter said the concessio- naire has 15 Sunspot sail- boats and six rowing boats. The Sunspot is 14 feet long and has one sail. It can readily be sailed by one person and yet can accom- modate two adults and two children. “Stable and unsinkable, it is ideal for beginners and fequires little sailing know- ledge. The cost of renting a Sunspot is $4 an hour or $20 a day and a rowing boat $2 an hour or $8 a day." The Sunspots come as a colorful addition to the host of other sailboats which use Sibbald Point as their head- quarters. In fact, the dock- ing area on a sunny Sunday afternoon is often overcrow- ded. “You can assist in this problem by parking your car and trailer with care or, even better, removing it from the docking area until you need it again. Come and join the fun." ion Committee was some months in getting organized and that he didn't believe that any applications were received here until after a meeting on May 15 when council agreed to give full co-operation. “The trouble is we haven't the available staff. I would ask the clerk and planning director to hire additional staff to get the applications on the road so that this work does not hold up the work in either the planning department or the clerk’s department. At the end of the year we can make application to the region for reimbursement of our cost." Councillor Lois Hancey. “I can't understand why‘ it stopped. We want to con- tinUe to do this monitoring. These are our people and we are concerned about land divisions when they occur. It is essential that we keep the monitoring process. I un- derstood direction was given to the staff to co-operate in every way possible and there was no indication we were going to charge the Region.” The mayor pointed out that the Land Division Com- mittee had reduced its own budget by $70,000 and now has no money to pay for this examination work. “The point is we should establish “We did this investigation in the past," stated Regionai sacrificed him to second and Powell singled to score Hen- derson. Wright singled in the fourth. advanced as Powell sacrificed, stole third and scored on an error. Town's final run came as Ron Weir tripled and scored as Wood got a life on an error to the Fram third baseman. Gary Oliver got the shut- out for Town on the rubber as he went the route. Bill Gallant started throwing for Fram and was replaced by Bob Kennedy in the fifth in- ning.

The two old veterans pitch- ing against each other, Bruce Stevens for the Lakers and Kenny Roberts for the Hill- ers, settled down to a pitch- ing duel for the balance of (Continued from Page 16) a basis of costs." “These applications are continuing to come at the rate they used to come," said the planning director. “We either do that work and not the regular work of the town or vice versa." “Could we use existing staff on an overtime basis?" asked the mayor. “Did not one municipality comment that it woud expect recompense to hire neces- sary additional staff to han- dle this work?" asked Coun- cillor Gordon Rowe. “My concern is that we haven’t been doing anything about it," said Councillor Wainwright. STOU’FFVILLE: Although a rezoning is needed and a site plan agreement has not been signed. nor a building permit issued, a Toronto firm is already soliciting tenants for a plaza on a three-acre site on Main Street and Highway 47. The necessary Official Plan amendment has been passed. STOUFFVILLE: The town’s water reservoir, located at Baker Hill. will get a $170,000 permanent cover to eliminate the problem of debris falling into the reser- voir. which because of that has to be disinfected three times a year at a cost of $6.000. STOUFFVILLE: Although someone placed large spikes under the tires of a harvest- ing machine at the CNR station, which was to be de- livered to Hutchinson Farm Supply on Highway 48, only one of tires was punctured. the game. Stevens was the winner along with his team from Lake Wilcox as Rick Collins slammed a Roberts’ pitch out of the park in the fourth inning to win the game. The Lakers threatened in the fifth and seventh in- nings with no runs scoring. Jenkins 9, McKinley 2 Jenkins Garden Supply whipped McKinley Dry Wall 9-2. Highlights for Jenkins were another great perform- ance by John Lenneville on the rubber and two triples by Ben Bourget. Assistant Coach Andy Marshall was put in the game late in the contest and he managed to score with the help of a sacrifice by Jake Van Der Valk and a stolen base and a single by Phil Bellavance. R. Barker and B. Barker scored the two Dry Wall runs. STANDINGS T0 JULY 28 GP W L T Pts. Joe's Garage 12 7 2 3 17 Barrow‘s Ins. 11 6 2 3 15 RH Auto Body 12 6 3 3 15 Joe's Garage Barrow‘s Ins.
