Whitby's comment-s on the proposai were sougbt despite the fact that the ceremony will be. entlrely within Oshawa's jurisdiétion. The site is owned by Toronto General Bury- ing Grounds and wlll in- clude a columbaria, cre- matorium and a mauso- lea. In bis report to coun- cil, planning director Bob Short said:, "staff have no difficulty wlth the proposed (cemetery) as there would appear to be no adverse impact on the orderly development of lands in the town." "Such a use, however, would logically be situated at the edge of the future industrial area rather than in.the middle of the inter- municipal Industrial designation,"1 he con- tinued., "In this way the cemetery would act in part as a buffer between industrial and residen- tial- use areas and provide an open, space which would act as an amenlty to both the resi- dential. and industrial areas,"t Short con- cluded.

The town's bylaws provide for fines of up to $1,000 for anyone con- victed of such acts of vandalism. Mnayor Bob Attersley, who also sits on the Durham Regional Police Commission, said that the park will, receive dloser attention from the force. "We will do every- tigfrom a police standpoint," he said ad- ding that hie was furious about what he described as "senseless" attacks. Attersley said that the incidents will not pre- vent the town from con- tinuing its park beauti:- fication work. " We keep planting, we keep growing," - he said.. "We wiil replace, we will keep going. " Replacing the mari- golds is simple compar- ed to the task of regrow- ing the trées the mayor said adding that the maples were the resuit of three years careful growing. "You just can't replace nature's growth, " he pointed out. Attersley has also taken it upon himself to visit at least one local school to tel children about the wrongness of vandalism. The solution to the problem he said lies in trying "to educate the kids of the Town - f Whitby not to do such things."I Attersley will be at E.A. Fairman Public Sehool on June 23.
