2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., September 26, 1979 Fire dept. service area (From Page 1) taking the fire calls. While members of council passed the resolution unanimously, they wanted assurance from Mr. Cook that he feels his department can provide the same level of fire protection services to Scugog residents living in that area. . "We are confident that we can handle that area," he said. Councillor Reg Rose suggested that getting out of the agreement with the Uxbridge department might be the first step towards the establishment of a fire hall in Greenbank to serve the northwest part of Scugog Township. "With new subdivisions and increasing population in that area, a new hall in Greenbank is something that we may have to seriously consider in the future," he said.

Since dog control costs are shared jointly by Uxbridge and Scugog, members of council were slightly irritat- ed by the fact that Uxbridge had granted the increase without consulting Scugog, and at this time of year rather than during budget discussions. Council decided to take no action until members of Scugog council meet with Uxbridge to discuss the matter more fully.

Muscular dystrophy carnival A group of youngsters from Port Perry recently held a very successful neighbourhood carnival with all the proceeds being turned over to the Muscular Dys- trophy Associaiton. The carnival featured a variety of games and events such as hit the clown, tin can alley, the fish pond, flying saucer and nickel toss. The hard-working kids who organized this carnival for a worthy cause were Tina Soomre, Susie and Matt MacMillan, Todd Soomre, Jim, Joey: and Janice Jackman, Andrew Steele, Tammy Manns and Nicki Thompson. Through their efforts, they turned over $82. to help in the fight against muscular dys- trophy. Scugog public library From page 1 flows across the back of the library property. Two weeks ago, council received a preliminary report from the Township consulting firm which recommends that no expan- sion of the library take place at the present site because of the flood potential. At the meeting Monday night, Ward 1 councillor Don Crosier said the lack of parking spaces would not present a problem as far as he is concerned, but he voted for the motion because of the flooding potential. Councillor Crosier has consistently supported the idea of a library expansion on the present site. Ward 4 councillor John Wolters has also been a supporter of an addition to the present building, but he said Monday that the lack of parking spaces "is a stumbl- ing block for me." He suggested that changes be made to the expansion plans to allow at least some parking spaces, and that the Library Board should try to work out some kind of an agreement with the Anglican Church to develop a joint parking area between the two properties. That would involve covering the creek which flows between the properties, and could be a costly project. The final decision on the minor variance application was to be made by the committee of adjustment at its regular meeting of September 25. Following the council meeting Monday night, councillor Jerry Jackman said that if the committee approves the minor variances, he will ask that After spending the past year articaling in Sault Ste Marie, John Hope returned to his parents home in Black- stock and spent three weeks visiting friends and relatives in the area before going to Toronto to enroll in Osgoode Hall for his Bar Meds. council launch an appeal of the committee's decision to the Ontario Municipal Board "We would have no choice," said councillor Jackman. "Our recommendation against the minor variances was unanimous. We would have to appeal the com- mittee decision." With the hold-up over the flooding potential and minor variance applications, it now seems that the Library Board's efforts to build an addition to the present building are slipping away. Two weeks ago, when the flood report potential was made public, Library Board chairman Chuck Preston said the Board is now work- ing on an alternative propos- @ Five (From Page 1) stock were killed when their car was hit broadside at the intersection by a tractor - The driver of the - -truck was not injured. trailer.
