NWwemmm-------- i NET ARN SE Ret RA Tet ASW AS 3 4 8 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, May 6, 1981 No money for coat of arms Scugog Township will not get an official coat of arms until 1982 at the earliest. Council Monday evening decided there is no money in the 1981 budget for design of a coat of arms, but the matter will be re-considered in the 1982 budget. Two weeks ago, council heard a presentation from Lionel Furze, who designs coats of arms, and he said the price for a full design could be as high as $4,000. However, Mr. Furze said this could be reduced to about $2500 if the council decided on a simple design and some of the preliminary research into appropriate Township symbols was 'done by a community organiz- ation. Scugog is apparently the _ only municipality in Durham Region which does not have a coat of arms, and designer Lionel Furze told council last week the cost could be as high as $4000, depending on how ornate and how much detail the coat of arms has. Mr. Furze of Oshawa, who designed official coats of arms for both Durham Region and the Town of New- castle, presented council with a detailed outline of the history of heraldry or coa of arms. He suggested that if council does decide to TROPHIES! and | ENGRAVING IDO-NO's| RECORD, CRAFT & HOBBY WORLD 178 QUEEN STREET - 985-2839 N [7 ---- QA .commission him to design a coat of arms for the munici- pality, it will take up to five months for completion. Although there are precise regulations govern- ing colour schemes, Mr. Furze told council that a coat of arms can be detailed or plain and simple. He sug- gested that since the coat of arms would be used in re- duced size on Township letterheads and other docu- ments, the municipality could do well with a simple design of just a shield and motto without a lot of fancy additions. The designs on the shield and the colouring would depict the history of Scugog and surrounding area. Mr. Furze noted that the Durham coat of arms includes wheat sheaves for farming, a cog wheel for industry, a ship's wheel for the Great Lakes, and a symbol for atomic. energy. Heraldry, or coats of arms, have their origins in the 11th century when knights designed them for their armour as a way of being recognized in tourn- aments and on the field of battle. Mr. Furze told council he estimates it would take 200 hours work to come up with a coat of arms for the munici- pality, with half of this going into research. He charges $20 per hour for hs work, but said the final price could be lower if the municipality decides on a simple design. Having a coat of arms registered with the College of Heralds in England costs about $2500, but Mr. Furze said this step would not be necessary for the municipality.

Once the subdivision' gets underway, the company plans to turn the pool over to the municipality as part of the parkland. Last year, the pool was operated by the former owners. However, the Health de- partment says that major. renovations to the pool are needed to bring it up to 1981 could be as high as $40,000. Neither Paramount nor the previous owners are pre-: pared to spend this money, and Scugog council indicated Monday evening there is no way the municipality can put that much into a pool which is still not owned by the municipality.

Township administrator Earl Cuddie told council Monday evening that Hard- ing Gate Development, the company which owns the plaza, has applied for a building permit for con- struction of a 12,000 square foot, single storey structure for up to 12 new stores of 1000 square feet each. The plans for the building show it will be constructed along the west side of the existing parking lot at the plaza with the lost parking spaces to be recovered in a new parking area to be open- ed up behind the Canadian Tire Store. Members of council quest- ioned whether there would be enough parking spaces if the new building goes up, and Mr. Cuddie replied that a preliminary examination of the plans by Township staff indicates there will be .-enough parking to meet Local Authorized ALCAN DEALER.
