Dan Zegers, 3681 Concession Road 4, Orono, LOB 1MO, circulated
background information to Council prior to the meeting. Mr. Zegers
appeared before Council requesting that the order to restrain
placed on two of Mr. Farkas' dogs be upheld. Mr. Farkas has "10
mixed interbred, unlicensed, unvaccinated, raw flesh eating, blood
thirsty" dogs located at 3758 Moffat Road where he is living without
the owner's permission, These dogs, on at least four occasions,
have been running loose as far as the 5th Concession. Mr. Zegers
shudders to think of what may happen should anyone of these
blood tasting dogs stumble across a child playing in the yard, let
alone their livestock. How can a "squatter" have his animals where
ever he pleases and a land owning, taxpayer must keep their young
calves in a barn for protection, What diseases are these dogs
carrying after a steady diet of raw flesh, no vaccinations and tied to
a tree or stump? Mr. Zegers understands that in Clarington anyone
who has more than three dogs must apply for a kennel license and
permit, as well as meet all required standards for a kennel. Does
this apply to only certain areas within Clarington? Does Mr. Farkas
comply or is he exempt? This evening Council has the opportunity
to show the residents of Clarington that even though the process
that is in place does take a long time, justice will prevail.
Dez Farkas, P .0, Box 605, Orono, LOB 1 MO, provided Council with
a background of where he came from, Mr. Farkas came to Canada
from Australia in 1975. He moved in 1998 to the Loyola Park
located on Moffat Road and he lived there year round, He
purchased a dog to stop the vandalism which was occurring on this
property, He obtained this dog from the animal shelter. The
following year he purchased another dog and allowed the two to
mate, Mr. Farkas stated that he needed at least three dogs to help
protect the 132-acre property. He also stated that he was thinking
about taking up dog sledding at the time. Mr. Farkas stated that he
wanted to promote the park and began breeding animals for his
petting zoo. These animals included cats, rabbits, chickens and
goats, Unfortunately the owners of Loyola Park sold the property a
few years later. Mr. Farkas was told that he needed to vacate the
property. The last six months have been very challenging for Mr.
Farkas and he looked towards his neighbours for help, He was
very surprised to hear the reactions of the Zegers. Mr. Farkas
stated that his dogs are all very friendly and that he believed that
the 3-dog limit only applied to residential areas and a kennel
licence is only needed for purebred dogs. He advised Council that
he has purchased licences for 8 of his dogs that cost him well over
$200.00.

Evylin Stroud, 89 Little Avenue, Bowmanville, L 1 C 1 J9, appeared
before Council regarding Report PSD-038-03. Ms. Stroud advised
Council that she had missed the public meeting pertaining to this
report. She concurs with the recommendations contained in Report
PSD-038-03 and requests Council not to defer from staff's
recommendations. Ms. Stroud gave a brief history regarding the
development of the adjoining neighbours, Tim Hortons and
Wendy's. Previous Council went against staff recommendations
and allowed an entrance and exit directly onto Regional Road #57.
Ms. Stroud states that it has been a miracle that there hasn't been
an accident at this location. She has witnessed people turning left
out of the exit onto Regional Road #57 when you are only permitted
to turn right. Also when the drive-in is busy, people backup onto
Regional Road #57 which is very dangerous for drivers. Should the
developer request any other kind of exit or entrance which is not
specified in Report PSD-038-03, Ms. Stroud is requesting Council
to deny it.

Employees of Goodyear Bowmanville, providing Council with 81
signed letters expressing their displeasure at the unfair treatment
aimed at Goodyear over the recent complaints about carbon black
and the apparent lack of support from their elected officials. The
Ministry of Environment needs to use a common sense approach
that takes both sides of the situation into account. Many
generations of Bowmanville people have worked at the Goodyear
plant and Goodyear has contributed much to this community over
the years. They do not want to lose their jobs because of a few
dissenting neighbours who have unrealistic expectations and seem
hell-bent to have the plant closed, and take away the livelihood of in
excess of 1000 people (employees and dependants) in the
community.
