LN EZ IR i BA LV x Seniors apartment ~ objectors withdraw rd Scugog Township should know by this Monday wheth- er all 17 objections against re-zoning for a senior citizen apartment building in Port Perry have been withdrawn. Township council met with most of the objectors at a special session Monday night, and after listening to representatives from Ont- ario Housing outline the need for the project and the diff- iculties which would arise Lagoon work fo start soon ® Construction is expected to get underway in- the very near future on expansion of the Nonquon Sewage Control Plant which will almost double the capacity of the existing system. Durham Regional council June 14 approved the low dender for the contract from 'Winchester Conduits and Structures of Downsview at $959,975, and the company expects to complete the work in forty-four weeks. The expansion will provide three additional sewage lagoons, each slightly more than 16 acres in size. The present system located north of Regional Road 8 consists of three lagoons, each about 15 acres in size. # The Winchester contract also calls for more than 1,000 feet of forcemain, 6,600 feet of inlet sewer, connecting pipes and discharge sewers, and inlet, discharge and meter chambers. Once completed the lagoon system will provide sewage capacity for a population in the Port Perry urban area of 7,000_ people. The present system has a capacity for a population equivalent of about 4,000 people. Three tenders were re- ceived for the project, and each was reviewed by the consulting engineering firm of Totten, Sims, Hubicki, which recommended that the low tender be accepted. The other two tenders received were from" Tripp Construction, Oshawa, at $1.15 million-with a comple- tion time of 65 weeks; and from Dagmar Construction.

Council agreed, however, that letters will be sent to all those who did object asking that they be withdrawn in writing and that the forms be returned to the municipal office by next Monday (June 25). ; Mayor Lawrence Malcolm said after the hour-long meeting that he was con- fident all objections would be withdrawn by the beginning of next week, but councillor Reg Rose was not quite so Continued on page 15 Vol. 112 No. 33 ' LAL » ¥ x RE. 4 Hundreds of bikes, riders and spectators turne Wednesday, June 21, 1978 Sa d out on Sunday for the annual Molson Ontario Motocross Championships held just south east of Port Perry.

Waterfront property sold to local man Just two weeks after Scu- gog Township council turned down an offer to purchase the lakefront property of Lake Scugog Lumber, it has - been sold to a local business- man. The township was offered the property on seve- ral occasions in recent months at a price between $140,000 and $150,000, but decided three weeks ago not to make the purchase. Mr. Ken Jackson, who purchased the property through one of his compa- nies told the Star that he has OPPseek man for assault A warrant has been issued by Whitby OPP following an alleged attack early Sunday morning which sent a Port Perry man to hospital with severe face lacerations. A police spokesman said that Steven Archer, 24, of Port Perry was struck on the right side of the face with a full bottle of beer early Sun- day morning in the parking lot of Club Annrene on Scu- gog Island. The victim was taken to Port Perry Hospital, and later transferred to Oshawa General. He was released after treatment for cuts and lacerations. Police are not releasing the name of the suspect who is believed to be in the Toronto area. A warrant for his arrest has been issued on. a charge of assault causing bodily harm. no immediate plans for the land, but when he takes possession next spring will tear down the old mill and boathouse and sod the entire area down to the water. He said that the property has many possibilities uner the present C4 zoning, and although he is not planning anything immediately it has potential for business such as a motel, restaurant, mar- ina or retail stores pertain- ing to waterfront activities. "It has endless possibili- ties," he said. Mr. Jackson feels person- ally that the township should have bought the property when it was offered because as far as he was concerned it was a very realistic price. "This property was part of an overall plan for the lake- front even when I was on council some years ago, because it joins the two waterfront properties that the township now owns." Ted Griffen, owner of Lake Scugog waterfront property, said that he was very pleas- ed that Ken Jackson, a local businessman, saw fit to pur- chase the property. He said that Mr. Jackson has been very successful in his other ventures and he felt sure whatever Ken decided to do with the property, it would be a success. When Scugog Township council turned down the pur- chase of his property a few weeks ago, Mr. Griffen did show some sign of disap- pointment as he felt that they were making a mistake not to have control of the entire lakefront property from Birdseye Centre to the ball diamond at the south end. He told the Star that he had offered it to the township at a lower price than he would to anyone else because he felt strongly that it should belong to Scugog, not an outside developer. But with Mr. Jackson the new owner of the property, Mr. Griffen can now devote ~ his time on plans for their building on the Oshawa Road property. This fall he plans to lay the foundations for their new offices and retail selling area and by spring 1979 they will open in a brand new building on the same Continued on page 7 Council favour 4% pay increase Durham Region council has voted in favour of recom- mending a four per cent increase in pay for members of the new council that will take office after municipal elections in November. The issue sparked a lively debate at the regular meet- ing of Regional council June 14, and when it was over the motion carried easily by a recorded vote of 15 to 9. Both Scugog Mayor Law- rence Malcolm and council lor Reg Rose voted against the pay hike recommenda- tion. It was pointed out several times during the debate that the increase is only a recom- Continued on page 3 ~ 13 Pal ir | y J 1 ) eis dditodavesilipdlos drivin visdormngasin ym +7 L&T AY, = DN Sees Pala oC A Sar ET ag 43 Ts 2 SAN sre ap AR ~
