Negotiators from Scugog Township and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) have reached a tentative agreement to cover outside workers employed by the Township. The agreement was reached last Thursday night following a meeting be- tween the two sides. On Monday afternoon, the full Scugog Council gave its formal approval in principal to the terms, and a con- tract should be signed once the agreement has been Tatified by the workers. ® Councillor Reg Rose, who led the negotiating team from the council, said that no details of the tentative Minister Pastor and Mrs. Don Payne's farewell Sunday at ort Perry Baptist Church will be May 28th. Concern- ing his years at the Baptist Church, he says, "They have been seven years of reward- ing work, and many families have been reached with the gospel." agreement would be releas- ed until it has been ratified. However, he did say that he "is fairly satisfied", with the way the negotiating sessions went, considering this was the first time any members of council had any experience in union negoti- ations. The CUPE local for the outside workers was certi- fied in January and negoti- ations with the union have been going on since April. Because certification took place prior to the phasing out of wage and price con- trols this year, the wage settlement in the pact will be within the guidelines of the Anti-Inflation Board. moving The Pastor plans a Sum- mer Ministerial course, and will be taking up Pastoral work in another church in September. Two of his family will remain in the area for the present. Roger in the R.C.M.P., and Brian, attending University of Toronto.

That is an issue that Scugog Township is going to have to face in the not-too- distant future. - And at least one member of council has spoken out strongly in favour of allow- ing mobile homes under certain conditions. Ward 1 councillor Don Crosier told members of council Tuesday night that the time has come for mob- ile homes in the Township, especially, he said, on farm operations where a son or son-in-law is starting to take over a farm in the family and initially cannot afford to put a lot of cash into a regular type home. Councillor Crosier said he would rather see a young couple living in a mobile PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, May 25, 1978 -- 11 home on the farm for a few years and put. their money into the farming operation rather than an expensive house. He made his comments during discussion of a prob- lem facing Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gordon, who told members of council that they are setting up. a cus- tom poultry killing operat- ion in Ward 1 and want to bring a mobile home onto the property for their daughter and son-in-law. Mr. Gordon told council that his son-in-law would operate the poultry business and the young family wants to wait serveral years be- fore building their own home. Council told Mr. Gordon that the present zoning by- laws in the Township do not permit mobile homes, even Senior housing in jeopardy Continued from page 1 planning to build three apartment buildings on the adjacent land with a total of about 45 units. Members of council made it very clear to Mr. Menzies and other objectors that any formal petition to the Ont- ario Municipal Board against the re-zoning for the senior citizens housing could effectively kill the project, as the Ontario Housing Corporation has in- dicated it will not fight such a formal objection. Council pointed out that the munici- pality has been working for more than two years to secure a site for senior citizens housing in Port Perry. It was suggested to Mr. Menzie$ and other objectors to the apartment complex that if they are opposed to this complex they should wait until an application is Cedar Creek news By George Kilpatrick Last Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Cummings, Brenda and Steve attended the 25th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Boyd at Newcastle.

Mr. Menzies seemed to agree with this. He again pointed out that the object- ors do not want to jeoparad- ize the senior citizens de- velopment, and he added that the concerned residents in the area would be meet- ing in the near future to decide on a plan of action. those that can be erected over foundations and base- ments. s However, he was told that he can make an application for re-zoning, and Mr. Gordon indicated to the council that he would do this. The issue of mobile homes in the Township could be a thorny one. While councillor Crosier stated clearly that he would Ke in favour of allowing them, councillor Vern Asselstine said "there is no way" he could support such a decision. He said that standards have been set in the Town- ship for permanent, more expensive homes, and sugg- ested that allowing mobile homes in Scugog would re- duce surrounding property values, and could lead to an influx of mobiles in Scugog. At this point Mr. Gordon said he could agree, but he suggested that standards for housing can change and they are changing. Library expansion Continued from page 1 that a grant could be made for up to one half the cost, provided this was matched by funds raised by public contributions. To set the wheels in motion for a fund raising campaign, a committee is expected to be formed when the Board meets again June 8, in addition to a public relations committee and a building committee. If the details can be worked out, Mr. Preston said he would like to see a concentrated fund raising drive get underway this September and carry through the winter months with the hope of being able to start actual construction in the spring of 1979. The preliminary exterior sketches were prepared by Howard Martinson of Port Perry, and he is presently working on interior floor plans which should be ready when the Board meets again on June 8.
