During the hearing, about a dozen members of the public spoke against the lakefront location of the library. These included Mrs. Prentice and Mr. Grierson, former Mayor of Scugog Lawrence Malcolm, Mrs. Connie Glass, a senior citizen and member of the IODE which had a role in building the 'present library in 1934, Clara Warren, a member of the Legion Womens Auxiliary who said 3 2 LCL SEY FIL J ANY co The PE a MEN EAA BA 3 FIGS TN OEE CRUDE CH that organization is opposed to the site, and John Powell of Blackstock who disputed the argument that the re-zoning conforms with the Durham Official Plan on the grounds that there was not enough 'private and public consultations by the council and library board about the Icoation. Several ratepayers also took the stand to speak in favour of the re-zoning. Port Perry businessman and life-long resident Ken Jackson outlined his per- sonal involvement in the Back to school . . . (From page 1) about 25 over last year. This has meant an additional teacher on staff, bringing the total to 15, for the Kindergar- ten to grade six school. Plans for an addition to the school are being finalized to include a new gymnasium and library resource centre. The Board of Education has issued tenders for the cons- truction, and it is expected that work may get underway this fall. At the combined schools of Greenbank and, Epsom, principal Robert Morrison reports that the total enrol- ment of 227 students is virt- ually unchanged from last year, and the nine full-time teaching positions is also the same. Greenbank has 126 students from grade one to six, and Epsom has 101 students from Kindergarten to grade six. The enrolment at Cart- wright Central School this - year is 563 students, unchanged from last year, according to principal John Hinch. . Also the same as last year at the school are the 24 full-time teaching positions. | 268 QUEEN ST. - PORT PERRY - 985-7351 Monday to Friday 9 to 9; Saturday 9 to 5.

He told the hearing that in 1978 he put a $20,000 deposit on the land with a one-year agreement to purchase for a full price of $150,000 from Lake Scugog Lumber. In the spring of 1979, he released that agreement to the Township for the same $150,000 purchase price. Noting that the land is now zoned commercial, Mr. Jackson said it could have been developed by private enterprise, but it "is my thorough belief that there is no other location in the Township that is better for a library." Supporting testimony was also given by Ed Mulholland, a trustee of Port Perry Legion, who said the Legion executive supports the lakefront location, has pledged $5000 towards construction, and is satisfied with the plans to move the War Memorial aspect of the old library to the proposed new building. Others who spoke in favour of the rezoning included Judy Luke and Carol Hobbs, both members of the organi- zation called 'Friends of the Library,"" and Margery Webb, who said she quit the local senior citizens club because of animosity towards her support of the "new library site. THE PETITIONS During his cross-examina- tion of Mr. Grierson, Town- ship lawyer Michael Fowler .went to considerable lengths to discredit the validity of petitions which were circu- lated last fall by library site objectors. Under questioning, Mr. Grierson admitted there were "three or four" diffe- rent wordings to the peti- tions, including a reference to a municipal building, and the fact that the wording of some of the petitions was altered. Mr. Grierson said he canvassed about 200 names, and again under questioning from Mr. Fowler, said he did not explain to all those he canvassed that half the land in question was to be re- zoned for parkland. OMB panel chairman Peter Wilkes said during this part of the hearing that the Board "would give very little weight to the petitions." Speaking against the re- zoning, former mayor Port Perry High School ~ NIGHT SCHOOL REGISTRATION SEPTEMBER 15th & 16th-7 to 9 P.M.

Mr. Malcolm did say that twice during his time in office the property in ques- tion was offered to the muni- cipality, once for $225,000 and again for $175,000, and both times was rejected. Under questioning, Mr. Malcolm said he could not recall whether he voted in favour or against the Town- ship buying the land at that time. BACKGROUND If the re-zoning finally does get approval, the plans by the Library Board call for a single storey building of about 6700 sq. feet fronting on the Water Street half of the property, in about the location of the house which presently sits on the land. There would be parking on the north side of the building, and an entrance for a book- * Objectors reaction % Engineers report See Page 6 mobile on the south side. The building itself and the parking area would take up about 39 per cent of the acre- re-zoned for the library site, the remainder would be landscaped. The other half of the property, also about an acre in size fronts on the shore of the lake, and would be re- zoned to permanent open space parkland. The cost of the building has been set at $315,000, with $100,000 coming from the Township, a similar amount from Wintario, and the remaining $115,000 from public and business dona- tions. So far, about $62,000 of this latter amount has been raised, according to testi- mony at the hearing from Nelson Patterson, chairman of the fund raising commit- tee. ---- - .

What more can be said about Terry Fox? His Marathon of Hope this summer took him 3339 miles from St. John's to Thunder Bay when suddenly last week cancer was detected in his lungs, forcing him to give up his run across the country. But in an out-pouring of emotion that's seldom, if ever, been seen in this country before, Canadians everywhere from all walks of life are willingly picking up the torch for this brave young man. The Port Perry Star would like to help in a small way. With the co-operation of the Scugog branch of the Canadian Cancer Society, we now have a collection box in the Star office, and we're asking for your help. Come on Scugog, reach into your pockets for. your dimes, quarters and dollars. Every penny helps, and every penny will be turned over to the Terry Fox Fund of the Cancer Society. So far this summer, Scugog residents have contri- buted over 1200 to the Marathon of Hope. We think we can add substantially to that, and help make the dream of one brave young man become a reality. The box went into the Star office on Monday morning, and each week we'll let you know how the contributions are coming in.
