2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Sept. 18, 1984 LAW OFFICES OF RISEN, ESPEY & FARQUHARSON LORD SIMCOE PLACE Suite 4C - 57 Simcoe St. S., P.O. Box 278 OSHAWA, L1H 703-571-3942 (After Hours: 985-9012) ROBERT J. ESPEY sus to set wheels in motion So far, a group of Port Perry High School students have put the rest of Scugog Township to shame. Last spring the school's student council presented Handi-Tran- sit organizers with a ANNOUNCEMENT success in her new position. 257 QUEEN STREET, PORT PERRY, ONT. 'David's Hairstyling would like to announce the appointment of LAURA LOVE to their staff. David, Larry, Josie, Nancy and Shelly wish Laura much Laura, formerly of the Hair Centre, would like to invite her current or any new clientele to call for an appointment. "Da vid 3 Auirsty lng 985-7101 cheque for $1,500, money the dance comm- ittee had collected at a popular video dance. Since then, the fledgl- ing organization has received only $350, bringing the total up to $1,850. But in order to get Handi-Transit off the ground and moving by January, as many people are hoping, local fundraisers will have to collect another $5,650. | Resiconts | bj against | proposals (From page 1) meeting, lawyer Michael Fowler told the council and spectators that Mayor Taylor is a partner with Dave Haynes in developing the property. Mr. Fow- ler is representing the developers. He told the meeting that if the development = is approved, the homes would be of high quality "in keeping with the existing development along the road". He said the lots would average 30,000 to 37,000 square feet in size with front- ages from 100 to 150 feet. Mr. Fowler said a consulting firm will undertake soil and hydrology testing to determine if there is sufficient well, and the septic systems would conform to the Health Unit regulations. 80 BROCK ST. - 852-3683 N d UXBRIDGE We have what you're looking for ... this year's new fabrics, new fit, new colours, new trends .. to outfit you in a new dimension for fall. CLOTHES FOR THE CONTEMPORARY WOMAN 229 QUEEN ST. - 985-8551 PORT PERRY Negotiations with various government agencies are just gett- ing underway but spokesmen are confi- dent of securing the $30,000 necessary to set the wheels of Handi- Transit vans in motion. Once Handi-Transit - Incorporated does get going, it will serve the many handicapped people in this area who find transportation diff- icult or impossible to come by. Although Community Care has traditionally supplied rides to many residents, it cannot handle, for example, severely handicapped people in wheelchairs. Many of the volunteers who work for Comm- unity Care are senior citizens who could hurt themselves lifting another person. Getting to the post office, stores, banks, the library and the hospital is often out of the question for some hand- icapped people in the township. According to Community Care statis- tics, 185 people in Scugog and Uxbridge townships alone would be served by the organ- ization. Operated by a volun- teer Board of Directors (to which Scugog Coun- cillor Lawrence Mal- colm was recently named) who are active- ly involved in policy making, budget prepar- ation and community liason, Handi-Transit administration staff consists of a general manager, secretary and dispatcher. It's expected the service will run eight or nine hours a day (hope- fully on an on-call basis), Monday to Fri- day. Rates will be established for the area based on mileage and will be kept low enough to make the service available to those who Water bill format could be changed Do you have trouble figuring out exactly what your water bill means? Take heart, you're not alone. But early in 1985, the picture is expected to get a little more clear as Durham Region is now working on the design of a new water bill. The new bill will contain several signifi- cant changes in format including the separation of water and sewer charges, the exact dates of the billing period, and the previous meter reading so customers are able to verify what they are being billed for. The new format is being designed to dove- tail with the develop- ment of the new comput- erized billing system for Durham Region. It is expected that the new bills will start to be used early next year. The Region plans to mail out brochures with the first new bill to explain the changes to customers. 'Handi-Transit needs financing need it. But before Handi- Transit can put the first van on the road, that $5,650 stumbling block must be overcome. So if you've got that kind of money kicking around, and you can't decide what to do with it, make your cheque out to Handi-Transit Vehicle Fund, Box 1066, Port Perry. Or call Information Scugog at 985-8461 for more in- formation. Graduate Barbara Montgo- mery, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
