The post office moved from their makeshift substitute post office, in the basement of the Masonic Temple, on Queen Street over the weekend, and according to Postmaster Bruce Hull, full postal service began on Monday. CB 20c per copy Vol. 109 -- PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, Wednesday, April 16, 1975 -- No. 23 26 Pages No guarantees for developer although test drilling begins International Well Supply has been hired by the Region to begin test drilling for water in the Port Perry area, according to Scugog Town- ship Mayor Lawrence Malcolm, but he told devel- oper, Tony Cesaroni, at a council meeting Monday that no guarantees about the availability, costs, or timing of the needed update of water services can be made at this time. The developer, before council at the Monday meet- ing to expedite the develop- ment of a propdsed apart- ment building, said he need- ed some definite word on the planned water service improvement work - work needed before the apartment Education Week plans Learning: A Co-operative Community Enterprise will be the theme of Education Week, designated April 20 to 26 by the Ministry of Education. Although some extra emphasis by the schools may be directed towards this special week, officials point out that "parents can be assured that the continuous education of their children throughout the rest of the year is of primary impor- _ tance to the schools'. Special events for the week planned in Port Perry area schools include such things as open house, musical per- formances;and other special events and performances. At Cartwright Uentral School in Blackstock an open can be serviced. While Mr. Cesaroni wants council to get the answers he needs from the Region, coun- cillors doubted if such- guarantees can be had. Coun. Reg Rose pointed out - that at the test drilling stage, " there is no way of knowing there is water available. He added that even should it be available, development of such a well is another thing altogether. Coun. Bob Kenny added evenanother stage. After the water is found and the testing is over, the well must be designed, the work tendered, and materials gathered. As for the availability of water, Mr. Rose said it was a Good News - Bad News house will be held April 22 - from 7:30 to 9 p.m. with school project 'Community Past and Present" will be on display. School choir will also perform, as well as a number of other musical perjormances. Pupils of the Grade 4 class have invited their parents to attend a mini-concert which they are preparing for Fri- "day, April 25. Asimilar event will be held at R. H. Cornish, also at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. School choirs, the school band, and individual performers from the school have put together an impressive program, The school also held a "pre-education week" open house on April 9, when class- (continued on page 15) situation. The good news is that a multitude of sites are available for testing, and the bad news is that a multitude of sites have been available before. He said, however, that in his interpretation of discus-, sions with Region engineers is that once it is known that there is water in the ground, estimates can be made as to amount, cost of development, and time schedules. Mayor Malcolm agreed, and said that the test drilling isthe slow part, and that once the water has been found, "the project can go ahead very rapidly". The water systein updating was part of -a recommend- ation of six developers who earlier this year presented to council a report on servicing requirements for continued development in the Port Perry urban area. The updating of the water system and to some extent the sewage system;to be carried out by the developers, is a must before developers can go ahead with up to 450 housing units over the next three years, as outlined by council. The work could cost developers as high as $661,000. Week Ending April 10, 1975 Admissions ...........cccoeveen Emergencies Operations.............

' Bert Gibson of fhe Cart- wright Senior Citizens group said that even if the Cart-. wright recreation Board was Rose will not contest PC riding nomination "You certainly would have to have some awful strong differences either on a politi- cal or personal level to chal- lenge the candidacy of a cabinet minister," said Rev. Reg Rose, Scugog Township regional representative, who had earlier announced he seriously considered the Conservative nomination for Durham North. "I have none of those, and as far as I can tell, he's (William Newman) is a good man for my money." Although confirming a serious interest in the nomination, Mr. Rose said the environment minister's announcement that he will seek the Durham North Con- Cornish R.H. Cornish Public School gymnasium was a little like the mad doctor's dungeon last week as the over 130 - students in the annual Science Fair converted the hall to displays ranging from gasses to electronic lie detec- tor. According to organizers as well as some of the many parents who attended the showing, it was one of the best ever. There were 90 projects on display, and according to judges, the job of picking the best was a difficult one due servative nomination was no great disappointment. He admits being interested and involved in politics, and said. his concern about the existance of 'a vacuum' with the retiring of MPP Dr. Matthew Dymond, is what led him to consider the nomination. It wouldn't have been easy, either. "I would prob- ably have to resign from my Parish," he said. "In all fairness. It's acceptable to run down to the region every week and do a lot of work over the phone, but quite another things to spend all your time sitting in Queen's Park." to make the. demanded changes now, he doubts if the Senior Citizens would go ahead with the project. "Frankly, everybody is sick of this entire thing. We've been to too many meetings, written too many letters, and approached too many people, all with no resultsintheevent,' he said. "lI don't think anyone is willing to consider starting all over again." The '"'Fued", as Mr. Gibson calls it, between the recre- ational board and the senior citizens, centres on the removal of a stage in the building and the building of kitchen facilities. The senior citizens want the stage removed complete- ly, while the parks board wants the stage to stay -- lowered, perhaps -- but to remain for possible future use. With the stage removed, the senior citizens can build what they consider a reason- able size, workable kitchen, while if the stage remains, they would have to build a smaller kitchen which they consider to be inadequate. Both parties see their posit- ions as being unalterable. (continued on page 15) Science Fair to the high calibre of work. Winners in the interme- diate group (grades 7 and 8) were Janet Bruce, Kim Kiezebrink, and Shelly Lajoie for their 'Fungi' pro- ject. Second place went to Claudia Liebscher 'Bread Mold", and third to .Ross McLaurin for his Solar Energy project. . In the Junior division (grades 4 - 6) Mary Rose won first place with her sound demonstration, while Randy Haugen's mining display won him a second. Third place was a tie between Bullet strikes truck Last Tuesday, Helmut Hitscherich of Lot 21, Conces- sion 8, Brooklin, was travel- ling east on the 9th Conces- sionwhen he heard a crack in the rear of his panel truck. When he arrived home, an inspection of the truck revealed that a bullet had pierced the side of the truck, to the rear of the truck, about level with the driver's com- nartment window. According to Mr. Hitsche- rich, the slug is imbedded in one of the van's support strut. Police said the bullet hole was made by a small calibre slug, probably a .22. Al- though they are still investi- | gating the incident, a police spokesman said Tuesday that it could have been an accident. '"'Somebody out rabbit hunting and missed," he <aid Andrea MacGregor. and Kathy Chandler. The Primary (Grade 2) winner was Elizabeth McColl for her shell display. The Intermediate winners will go on to compete in the Durham Re gion Science Fair held on April 24 and 25. Newman says MPP neutral Provincial environment minister William Newman, who is seeking the Progres- sive Conservative candidacy 'of Durham North following the retirement of member, Dr. Matthew Dymond, told the Star earlier this week that although he hopes for a lot of support in the riding, the retiring MPP is taking a neutral stand until after the candidate is chosen. "I don't want anyone to think that Matt is supporting my candidacy over any other," said Mr. Newman. Mr. Newman said that Dr. Dymond will not get directly involved until the candidate has been pieked. Cw CAT, A THA,
