Tough licencing by-law gets approval Ate Council moves to block strip joints Scugog Township coun- cil has slammed the door on strip joints or any other kind of estab- lishment offering "adult entertainment" in this community. Council Monday night approved a lengthy by- law which gives the Township the power to licence the owners, operators and attend- ants of any premises providing services which "appeal to erotic or sexual appetities or inclinations". ' Although not specific- ally spelled out in the by-law wording, this presumably is directed at restaurants, taverns or other licenced busin- esses which feature ex- otic dancers as enter- tainment. The by-law passed by council Monday night is exactly thesame by-law approved about a year ago by Uxbridge Town- ship council, and it gives the municipality the authority to charge the owner of such an estab- lishment a $3300 annual licence fee and requires each attendant or en- tertainer to pay a $300 fee to the Township. . And one clause in the by-law states that the municipality does not have to issue any lic- ences: for this kind of entertainment and does not have to give any + 32 Pages Fire destroyed this house at the Bren- ~ dean Game Farm Sunday afternoon and sent a Township woman to Scarborough Hospital RG "4 Ve 3 tf oF A for treatment of cuts, burns and smoke in- halation.

Work to begin soon on expansion to hospital Work on the new 10,000 square foot addition. to Community Memorial Hospital in Port Perry should get underway within the next few weeks, accord- ing to Building Expan- sion chairman Howard Hall. At a meeting of the building committee last Thursday evening, the committee accepted the . $698,850.00 tender sub- mitted by Westmount Engineering of Peter- _ borough. A recommend- ation has been forward- ed to the Hospital Board, who are meeting tonight (Wednesday), to' accept this tender and give final approval so work may commence. Building committee members were very pleased with the 'tenders, as they came in under their original estimated budget of $760,000. But Howard Hall told the Star since that estimate was es- tablished, the Ministry of Health and the Fire Marshall's office have insisted on some changes and updating. Those changes along with the need for a new roof on the existing structure have driven the cost up an additional $150,000.00 It is now estimated that the total budget for the new addition, plus éssential changes and a new roof will be around $850,000.00. Fifteen tenders were received by the archi- tectural firm of J, Bruce Bateman for consider- ation, and the firm analysed the lowest three bids. Although Westmount was not the lowest of the three, Mr. Bateman recommended the firm to the comm- ittee because it was the only one to submit a complete tender form. The building comm- ittee would like to see a sod turning ceremony held within the next couple of weeks, with construction beginning immediately after. If everything then goes according to schedule an official opening of the new facility could be held early in 1984. "increase, reasons for refusing a licence. At present, there are no such establishments in Scugog Township off- _ ering this kind of enter- tainment, but Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor told the meeting Monday night that "some inter- est has been expressed by a business" in the Township to provide this kind of entertainment. He did not name the business during the council meeting, and declined to name the business after the meet- ing was over. However, there was little doubt that council felt it imperative to act quickly to get a licenc- ing by-law on the books in Scugog. Some of the wording in the by-law still contained refer- ences to uxbridge Town- ship. "We may never be faced with this situation (of this kind of enter- tainment) in Scugog, but council should pass this by-law for the time when it is needed.
