Continued from Page 1Workman calls the Burk’s Falls Towne Theatre “a

real gem. The fact that it opened on Christmas Day in 1946, I’m pretty sure that’s what I remember reading, fills me with questions and stories.”

He is looking forward to the return performance.“I’m hoping we do as well as last year,” he said. “It

is feeling like we are going to make this a somewhat regular summer stint in Burk’s Falls. Last year there was bonfires and fun, not to mention the wonderful feeling in the old theatre, I have a real fondness for old buildings. My favourite is the Emsdale Airport building, so many people have never been in the the-atre. That is definitely a highlight being able to play in such a creative space.”

Workman has been keeping busy with fingers in a variety of creative pots.

“Summer has been very busy. I’ve decided to work

more these days,” said Workman. “I’ve been finishing up the last bits of two new records for me, working on developing a TV show, in the beginning stages of production on a new record for another artists and a great deal of song writing for other artists too,” he said.

He is looking forward to a dip in Doe Lake.“I’ve only had one swim this year so far, which

must be a Muskoka bylaw infringement,” he said.Workman and his band hit the Burk’s Falls Towne

Theatre on Aug. 28 with Kyrie Kristmanson and Aug. 29 with Kevin Hearn and Thin Buckle. Tickets are available at the theatre at 172 Ontario Street at 382-3138, at The Finds at 66 Main St. E. in Huntsville at 788-7181 or through www.sixshooterrecords.com.

Continued from Page 1He and his business partners, including wife Car-

rie and Paul and Caroline Scargall, bought the prop-erty as an investment and were surprised to discover there was already interest in it.

“Tim Hortons and Loblaws were already aware of the site,” he said. They partnered with Loblaws and began lease arrangements with Tim Hortons.

It is the largest project the developers have taken on. “From start to finish it’s going to be about a

10-year project. We thought we would be holding the property; we didn’t know we would be developing,”

Throughout the process Miller has dealt with a multitude of government bodies to get the various permits and negotiations to complete the project, including the Township of Armour, where the site is located, the Village of Burk’s Falls to bring the water mains and sewers to the site, the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Transportation.

“It’s a very complicated project with the creation of the infrastructure,” he said.

The project has expanded an additional step with negotiations to allow the Ontario Provincial Police to tap into the sewer lanes put into place for the

construction of the new Almaguin Highlands OPP detachment.

“The OPP site requires access to the new sewer for what they want to build,” says Miller. “The lines we put in have been designed for a limited number of users with the potential for other users to tap into the line.”

Miller’s partners and the Village of Burk’s Falls would have to jointly agree as to whom would tap into these services.

“As developers we feel it is imperative to maintain the existence of the OPP station in its current loca-tion,” he said. “We’re pleased to know we are able to assist.”

Miller is hopeful that the agreement will be final-ized within the next month.

“Once an agreement is in place, I believe the OPP will be pressing forward,” he said. “When we were approached by the OPP we felt it was in the best inter-est of the community, and us, that the OPP could stay where they wanted to stay. We’ve been in discussing this at length through the month of July and now we’re in the contract draft stage.”

Miller says he hopes the agreement will be in place within the next month.

KEARNEY – Councillors ques-tioned their authority to rule on a resolution that was tabled con-cerning propane storage in the town of Kearney. Despite being defeated, the resolution tabled may lead to bylaw with respect to propane storage.

The resolution, tabled at the Aug. 12 regular council meeting, came to the table in Kearney about a year after the date of the Sunrise propane explosion which killed a firefighter and caused the evacua-tion of a Toronto neighbourhood.

The Kearney resolution required that a propane tank exchange at a Main Street address meet certain criteria, including that the stor-

age facility be located behind a single-car garage at the rear of the property and that the property owner submit a Fire Safety Plan for the facility to the Kearney Fire and Emergency Services for approval.

The resolution was put forward to council by the planning adviso-ry committee in conjunction with the fire chief.

“Propane laws in Ontario are extremely lax,” said councillor Robert Tilley, a former firefighter. “I’ve done a lot of handling of pro-pane in my career.”

Fair competition and require-ments of current propane storage facilities came into question as well as council’s own expertise at deciding on such an issue.

“If we defeat this resolution we’re not denying it. We’re just

not supporting it,” said Mayor Jeff Johnston.

“To err on the side of caution. I personally don’t feel we have the knowledge or expertise,” said Johnston. “We’re being asked to support something where we have no expertise.”

“Because it’s not in the bylaw we’re not allowing or disallowing it,” said councillor Louise Wads-worth. “If there’s a recommenda-tion and those existing facilities are not meeting those recommen-dations… just because they’ve been here for 50 years doesn’t make them safe.”

Johnston called for a recorded vote on the motion and it was defeated; however, the Fire Board will look into a bylaw concerning the safe storage of propane.
