Quiet holiday on Scugog highways ~--Despite the throngs of motorists on the highways over the last holiday week- end of this summer, both Durham Region Police and the OPP report that the Scugog area was almost accident free: } In fact, a 'spokesman for the Whitby detachment -of the OPP said there were no accidents on the provincial highways in the Township over the weekend, and Durham Police report just two minor accidents in-Port' Perry. The first occurred August 2 on Perry Street when a car drivently Daniel Whalen, 17, of Scarborough, was alleged- ly struck by a northbound car which then left the scene. Police say they have a good description of the car that left the scene, and expect to be able to locate the driver. Damage to the: Whalen vehicle was minimal and there were no injuries.

OMB hearing on September 2nd (From page 1) posed library being located on the lakefront property. Scugog Township admini- strator Earl Cuddie said last week that the September hearing will probably run to two days because new evi- dence pertaining to such things as architectural draw- ings, soil tests, and details of the financing of the proposed library will be introduced as evidence. He said that the evidence given at the April hearing relating to planning and land use will also be re-submitted at the September hearing. Mrs. Prentice told the Star that she and other objectors will be testifying at the Sep- tember hearing. "We're not giving up. We've gone this far, we have no choice but to go to the earing," she said. Mrs. Prentice said the objectors will probably be calling new witnesses against the library site, but she declined to say who they 'will be or what evidence they will give. She said the objectors expect to have a meeting this -week to map out strategy for the hearing. -She did say, however , that it is very unlikely that the objectors will be represented by legal cousel at the Sep- tember hearing because of the costs involved. She said the legal fees for the last hearing in April cost the objectors $750, and would be more than that for the hearing next month, "We don't have the money and I don't have the heart to go out and ask our support- ers for -more money now," she stated. Costs in this matter are also running up for Scugog "Township. Mr. Cuddie esti- mates that the first hearing in 'April cost inthe neigh- bourhood of $4500 for legal and planning fees, and he said he expects the second hearing next month will cost about the same. The September 2 hedring will be held in the Latcham Centre on the Port Perry waterfront, and like the one last April, it is expected to attract considerable atten- tion from the public. Last time around, several * prominent Scugog Township citizens. testified against the proposed library site, and these included former Town- ship Mayor Lawrence Malcolm, former MPP Dr. Matthew Dymond, and businessman Joel Aldred. The issue has created considerable bitterness in Scugog Township among the proponents and the objectors to the proposed site. While up with a final decision one way or another following the September hearing, the library dispute will- likely dominate the November municipal elections in this Townghip. if ANY TABLE' ROUND PEDESTAL - HARVEST DROP LEAF - TRESTLE (With or Without Extensions) * With the Purchase of 4 or More Chairs (Over a Dozen Styles to Choose From) See what a little lové-can do (or: What Real Quality i Ali-About!)
