Outstanding Trainer Ee 123 No. 16 PORT PERRY, ONTARIO - TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1989 Copy 50¢ 52 Pages | Honoured On The Road Again Farm in Utica was a triple threat at the recent Canadian . Standardbred Association's annual banquet. Trainer Harry Poulton was named Horseman of the Year; Stargaze Hanover (pictured) was chosen Aged Pacing Horse of the Year (he's six years old); and Matts Scooter took top honours as Horse of the Year (Matt was In the States when this photo was taken). For more on this outstanding trainer and his horses, see inside. Residents are invited to help name new school Residents of Scugog Town- ship are being invited to take part in the final selection process for naming the new elementary school scheduled to open in Port Perry this September. And they will have until Wednesday, March 22 to contact either Scugog trustee Joyce Kelly in Blackstock or Bobbie Drew in Port Perry. ) The task of coming up with a name for the new school on Simcoe Street North was turned over to a committee made up of trustees Kelly and Drew, Oshawa trustee and former Board chairman Ruth Lafarga, and the school's new principal Harry Kiezebrink. Starting with a long list of 16 .names, the committee has nar- rowed it down to three: the S.A. Cawker P.S., the Jimmy Frise P.S., or North Port P.S. Mrs. Drew told the Star last week the committee members now feel the public in Scugog should make the final selection from the above three names. She said anyone wishing to vote on one of the three names must contact her at 985-7183 or trustee Kelly at 986-4257 no later than noon on March 28. Those who vote must leave their names and addresses to prevent duplica- tion, she said. As for the names on the short list, North Port is pretty well self- explanatory as the school is in the northwest area of the community. S.A. Cawker, who still lives in Port Perry was a teacher and vice principal for more than 40 ygars, 34 of them in Port Perry. e retired from teaching in 1968. As for the name Jimmy Frise, he was born in 1891 on Scugog Island, attended school in Port Perry, and after the war collaborat- ed with writer Greg Clark on a syndicated cartoon called "Birdseye Centre" that ran in the Toronto Star for many years. Mrs. Drew said once the votes from the public have been tallied, the committee will recommend to the Durham Board that the name etting the most votes become of- icial at the Board's meeting on March 28. So, here's your chance to have a say in naming the new elemen- tary school in Port Perry. Will it be North Port; S.A. Cawker; or Jimmy Frise? "* ; {] master plan Durham Region will spend nearly $1 million this year on a master plan on how to manage garbage disposal in the Region. The Regional council last week gave the green light to a rec- ommendations to hire a consor- tium of consulting firms to pre- are the master plan at a cost of 991,000. N The plan will examine all ways of getting rid of garbage in Durham, including landfill and an energy from waste facility. It is expected to be complete in May, 1990. 5: Pe. N oH a AR H . " The consortium of consultants is headed by MacLaren Engineers Inc., a firm that worked for the Region last year on a joint Waste Management strategy with York and Metro Toronto. However, last October, Dur- ham Region council voted tosev- er its ties with York and Metro in attempting to find joint solutions to the garbage crisis. ~The Master Plan, to be pre- pared this year, will concentrate on Durham only efforts to solve (Turn to page 3) Scugog requests GO-Transit link Scugog Township council has again asked that GO-Transit ser- vice be extended to Port Perry. This is the second time 1n the last year that council has made a written request to the transit com- pany to serve this community. The council noted that the GO Train service has recently been ex- tended from Pickering to Whitby, and trains eventually will run as far east as Oshawa. Although the council does not spell it out, the request is for GO bus service to Port Perry that would connect with the trains to Metro Toronto. In making the request, council notes that Scugog is a rapidly growing residential community with a large number of its resi- dents commuting to work in the Metro Toronto area. Mayor Howard Hall met with GO Transit officials last week to make the pitch in person. GO Transit already serves Stouffville and Uxbridge with commuter buses. Regional chair- man Gary Herrema has also been in favour of providing the same bus service to Scugog Township residents. Many Township residents who commute to work in Metro use the VIA Rail service out of Myrtle. Communal water system in Greenbank will cost $1.6M More than a decade after prob- lems first began to surface, it ap- pears as if the people of Green- bank are going to get better drinking water. Durham Region is slated to start work this summer on a $1.6 million project to provide Green- bank with a communal water sys- tem to replace individual wells, many of which have high levels of chlorides and nitrates. Scugog Regional councillor Yvonne Christie told the Star last week the timetable for the project calls for homes to be on the com- munal system in the spring of 1991.
