Early Sunday morning, a two car head-on crash on Regional Road 21 just west of Utica resulted in the death of Port Perry physician Dr. S. Russel Martin. His wife Susan, suffered serious in- juries and was transferred to Oshawa General Hospital. Durham Regional police report that the 1978 Jeep truck driven by Mrs. Martin was eastbound on Regional Vo.113 No.45 Road 21, when it was struck by a westbound car which apparently had crossed the centre line of the highway. The driver of the second car, who is from the Toronto area suffered major injuries and is in serious condition in a Toronto hospital.

Library variances get no council approval Driver of the car which was westbound on Regional Road 8, is in Oshawa General Hospital with serious injuries. The accident is still under investigation by Durham Region Police. The continuing saga of the Scugog Public Library expansion took another twist Monday night when Scugog Council voted unanimously against an application made by the Library Board for three minor variances to local by-laws. The variance application will now come before the Scugog committee of adjust- ment which has the final say in whether the variances are granted or turned down. Approval of the minor variances is necessary before the Library Board can proceed any further with plans for a 5000 square foot addition on the rear of the present library building on Queen Street. Although it is the three member committee of adjustment which ultimately deals with all minor variance applications in the Township, Scugog council routinely examines all Funeral service Wednesday for Dr. S. Russell Martin A private funeral service is to be held today (Wednes- day, September 26) for Dr. Scott Russell Martin M.D., who lost his life early Sunday morning following a car accident west of Port Perry. The service is to be held at the chapel of McDermott- Panabaker funeral home in served as a physician with the British Armed Forces. In 1970, he came to Canada and took over a medical practise in Port Perry from Dr. Steven Kandel. Dr. Martin is survived by his wife Susan, five children, his parents, Dr. and Mrs. applications before they go to the committee and can make recommendations as to whether they should be allowed or not. However, the committee of adjustment, as an autono- mous body, has no legal obligation to heed the recom- mendations made by the council. The application made by the Library Board asks for a reduction in the two side- yard requirements for the new addition, and relief from the by-law which stipulates that the expanded library would have to provide 15 parking spaces. In the present plans for the addition, there are no park- ing spaces available because of a lack of usable land. While the council decision not to support the minor variance applications was unanimous, members generally felt that the side- yard requirements are not serious, but the lack of park- ing space is. Also, the motion not to Fire dept. wants its full service area back The Scugog Fire depart- ment may take over responsibility for an area in the northwest corner of the Township which at the meoment gets fire protection services from the Uxbridge fire department. Scugog Unit One fire chief Jack Cook told council Monday night that his department now feels that the present agreement with the Uxbridge department is costing Scugog too much money, and his department is capable of providing the same level of service to homes and farms in the area Scugog of Scugog to the west and north of Greenbank. Because that area of Scugog is close to the town of Uxbridge, there has been an agreement with the Ux- bridge department for the past several years in which Uxbridge is paid a $1500 yearly retainer fee by Scugog Township as well as $250 and an hourly rate per man for each call the Uxbridge department answers in that area of the Township. Mr. Cook said that last year the arrangement cost Scugog $5000. '"'We feel we are paying money for protec- tion that we can now provide ourselves," he said. The agreement between Uxbridge and Scugog comes up for re-negotiation this December, and Scugog council Monday passed a resolution that the agree- ment be terminated as soon as possible after January 1, 1980. Included in this resolu- tion was the stipulation that if the agreement is termin- ated, all households in the affected area must be notified byletter that the Scugog department will be (Turn to page 2) chicken war? i - j i H : 2 di Port Perry.

A legal action can be started on the grounds that a chicken operation at the site breaks zoning by-laws, in that it would not be considered a legal, non-conforming use of the property. SY : [iy A
