The proposed truck entranceway from the rear of the store onto Mary Street is part of an overall expan- sion plan for the IGA to increase retail floor space by adding a 4, square foot addition on the west side of the store. The truck loading docks are presently on that side of the store. The proposal is to relocate the docks at the rear of the store and have deli- very trucks including transport trailers, back down .the Mary Street "entranceway. Mr. Callery said the resi- dents of Mary Street are in no way opposed to the IGA store expansion plans. "Our only bone of conten- tion is the location of the truck entranceway,"' he stressed. He said the residents feel that the entranceway should come off John Street to the 'east of the store. "Mary Street Our deadline for all week. holiday weekend.

The issue of where the truck driveway should be located was the central argument in an official objection filed with the Ontario Municipal Board earlier this year by nine residents against a re-zoning applica- tion by the IGA for an expanded parking area on the east side of the store. The OMB ruled in favour of the IGA re-zoning applica- tion in a judgement handed down on July 10. But in that judgement the Board stated, "there is some doubt as to capability of the physical roadway of Mary Street to sustain any such (truck) traffic." The OMB went on to say that it would be "the respon- (Turn to page 2) ind aS sei nih Pb ALAA CAL HLA, pic 104th Birthday Mrs. Barbara Fergusson celebrated her 104th birthday at the Community Nursing Home in Port Perry on July 23.

Island property owners seek injunction against group home A group of Scugog Island property owners living on Gerrows and Portview Beach will ask the Supreme Court of Ontario for a permanent injunction against a group home there for mentally handicapped adults. Gary Fitchett, a spokes- man for the property owners said a statement of claim will be filed with the court "within the next week or so," and he hopes the case will be heard by the court during the fall sessions. ~ The group home, which is located on Gerrows Beach, Has been in operation by the Central Seven Association for "the Mentally Retarded since early summer after a temporary injunction sought by the property owners was turned down at a Supreme Court hearing. Central Seven, which was granted use of the home rent-free for a period up to 12 years, plans eventually to move eight mentally retard- ed adults into the home under supervision. There are now two living there. Since the plans for the group home were announced last January, the property owners have claimed that it is contrary to Township zoning by-laws.

Collector and gun shop owner John Williams pur- chased the Alberta version of the Canadian Province Special Edition Colt Python Revolver a couple of weeks ago from a collector in the Cobourg area. It is a .357 magnum, based on the standard Colt Python magnum series, finished in Royal blue with a stock of pure ivory. Last year, the Colt com- pany manufactured the Canadian Province Special Edition series, one revolver for each of the ten Canadian provinces. The individual province which each gun was minted for is outlined on the cylinder in gold, and the name of the province, also in gold, is "ed Port Perry fire-fighters dragged the area the 'day of the accident, and a team of police divers carried out an underwater search the same day, but were forced to call off their search because of darkness. kind" revolver printed along the right side of the barrel.

He has written a letter directly to the premier of Alberta offering the Colt Python for sale. "I hope they accept the offer." he said. If Alberta is not interested. he said the revolver will go up for sale to any collector who can afford the price. Because it is a one-of-a- kind collector's item, the gun has never been fired, but it is serviceable. The presentation case is of French walnut, fitted with royal ink velvet.
