Vol. 115 No. 34 Wednesday, July 22, 1981 36 Pages. Re-opening of pool In a surprise move Mon- day evening, Scugog Town- ship council all but abandon- ed any hope of re-opening the Poplar Park outdoor swim- ming pool in Port Perry. The move came in the form of a reply to a recent letter from the Save the Poplar Park Pool Committee which asked council what progress has been made in the past six weeks or so towards up-grading the pool so that it could re-open next summer. After a "long -discussion, council agreed to inform the Committee that even if a development compariy pays for up-grading the pool, the Township may not be able to afford to maintain and oper- ate it. : "I think we should tell the Save the Pool Committee and not lead them up a blind' alleyway," said Mayor Jerry Taylor during the discussion. Ward 2 councillor Robert Espey agreed, saying it is "time the Township started looking at long range plans PATTY'S Wain to build one single first rate swimming pool. "I would rather have one. first rate facility than pay for a second rate pool," he said. Councillor Lawrence Mal- _colm said the Poplar Park pool is now worth nothing, and its only value will be the amount of money spent to bring it up to Health depart- ment standards. " The Poplar Park pool in south Port Perry was shut down before this summer season when a Health De- partment report showed it could cost in the neighbour- hood "of $40,000 "to - replace pool equipment and up-grade facilities such as wash and change rooms. Poplar Park and the pool are owned by Paramount Development Company which has indicated it would pay the up-grading cost, then turn the pool over to the Township in return for equal credits against levies and fees it would owe the Town- ship when a subdivision is £ goes down the drain developed south of the park. When (it was announced earlier this spring that the pool would not open this summer, a group of citizens formed together to try to at least get the pool open for next summer.

Scugog Township council will ask the Provincial Cab- inet to over turn a decision by the Ontario Municipal Board which rejected a re- zoning by-law for the Gor- eski Campground and Mar- ina on Scugog Island.

Mayor Jerry Taylor said Monday the OMB decision to reject the zoning by-law for the marina and camp-site came as a shock to members .of Scugog council. "We thought the by-law took all the necessary steps with regards to the marina classes for trophies. It is the second time the event has been held in Nestleton and promises fo become even larger in"coming years. More photos and story on page and campground operation," said Mayor Taylor. The by-law in question would have done two things: allow a 60 acre expansion of the campground and recog- nize the existing camp- ground and marina facilities which sit on about 18 acres of land on the west shore of Scugog Island. However, Dr. V. Nikola- ater and soap suds started flying.

Mr. Penney, 48, will start work August 4. His appoint- ment was unanimously con- firmed by Township council at its meeting Monday. He wil! succeed Scugog's present by-law officer Bob- Kenny who is retiring this November. + The Township received about 20 applications for the position, and six of the appli- cants were interviewed recently by -the council's finance committee, Mayor Jerry Taylor and clerk- administrator Earl Cuddie. Mr. Penney is originally from Bracebridge. His employment background includes 11 years work with Lake Scugog Lumber in Port Perry where he received his carpenter's certificate. He was carpenter foreman there for five years. Mr. Penney is presently working for - Beaver Lumber in Whitby. He also worked for General Motors, Fittings Ltd., and Gray Coach Lines. For the past 13 years he has served as a firefighter with the Port Perry and Scugog volunteer fire de- partments and was named to the rank of captain six years ago. Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor said the hiring committee discussed Mr. Penney's involvement as a - firefighter and agreed this would not conflict with his employment with the Town- ship. "The Township tries to encourage local businesses to give time off work to volunteer firefighters, so the municipality should do the same with its employees," said Mayor Taylor. Mr. Penney's main responsibilities will be en- forcement of Township by-laws, issuing building permits and inspection of construction projects in the Township. Mr. Kenny, who is due to retire this November, has worked for the Township for the past five years. He was a member of the local council and reeve of Port Perry Village before Regional government came into effect in 1974. a oe Ay Rie ee wn - re ng 2 fv, SEA x Fa 2 ar TY CER, tr a oR Rar, - SSE 3 wi en 5 ble 5 be ct 2 _ - IHS re Lo vo, ela or - Te A Rane Lo RR La "p ry Ee , X a Cr Apt x W By "NG ho A ht oo jo » / Sar © sare a") - yo LT Shel ad MS *y LL "eC mdi po i".
