ll ---- Plans unveiled for $1.6 million Catholic school Plans and drawings for a new Catholic elemen- tary school in Port Perry were unveiled for the first time last week. About 60 parents at- tended a meeting in the Immaculate Conception Church Hall March 27 with school and Board of Education officials, and according to principal Noel Woods, the reaction was very favourable. The 2170 square meter school will be built along the east side of the Church property on Highway 7A with con- struction expected to get underway this July. The doors will open for classes for some 200 students in September, 1986. Mr. Woods described the school as "very im- pressive, very up to date,' completely ac- cessible for handicapped students and with special capabilities for computer hook-ups. The new school will have classrooms for Junior Kindergarten through te grade eight, a full gymnasium, library- resource centre, and separate rooms for science, art, and music. Board officials estimate the cost will be $1.6 million. The plans' have been approved by the Durham Catholic School Board and are now waiting final ap- proval from the Ministry of Education. Since the single storey structure will be con- structed over the area where the five portables are now located, students will attend classes star- ting this September at the Raglan School. Mr. Woods said there are some concern ex- pressed by parents at the meeting about busing young children to Raglan during the coming year, but there is just no other alternative. Construction of the new building will allow for an expansion of classrooms on the south side, if they are needed in future, said Mr. Woods. Plans call for the ex- terior of the building to be finished in soft earth tone brown brick. Most of the classrooms will face east, with the Kindergarten, music room, library and gym- nasium facing west. Immaculate Concep- tion School has been operating for the past four years with five por- table classrooms and the kindergarten in the Church . Hall. Present enrollment is 170 students. Ice storm (From page 1) The combination of icing and high winds was the factor. "When you get both of these, there will be problems,' he said. Meanwhile in Port Perry, about 100 homes on the south side of Queen Street and east of Lilla Street had power in- terrupted for about three hours Sunday evening when a line came down on John Street. Dave Harris of the Scugog Hydro Commis- sion said this was the Puttin' On The Ritz With models and clothes like these it's no wonder both Puttin' On The Ritz fashion shows are sold out. The Murray House will host the gala luncheon and dinner shows Tuesday, April 9th with fashions by Strawberry Threads (as displayed by Lori Fleming, right) and Country Classics (worn by Ramona Reesor) with all proceeds go- ing to Ronald McDonald House. Murray House owner Mark Freeman (who more than willingly posed with Ramona and Lori) is looking forward to what he thinks will be the Ritziest show ever. worst problem area in the town, but crews were kept busy most of the night repairing lines to individual homes. The storm which hit the Township on Sunday also created very hazar- dous driving conditions, and a spokesman for the Durham Police said three accidents were due directly to the icy roads. Fortunately, there were no deaths or serious injuries. At about noon Sunday, a car driven by Edwin Albrecht of Little Britain spun out of con- trol and rolled over on Durham Road 2, north of Concession 11. A passenger received minor injuries. And an hour later, a car driven by Mary Stewart went into the ditch on the Shirley Road causing an estimated $3000 damage. Minor in- juries were suffered by a 13 year old passenger. Early Sunday morn- ing, a car driven by David Dennis of Queensville went out of control on Durham Road 23 and slammed into several guardrails caus- ing more than $2000 damage. He escaped serious injury. Whitby OPP report no accidents on the provin- cial highways in Scugog Township over the weekend.

Catholic parents who have been waiting five years for the new school had a chance to take a look at the plans last week. Construction on the $1.6 million facili- ty will likely start this summer and the school will open for students in September, 1986.

Centre St., Caesarea, grading, drainage, granular base, cold mix paving at a cost of $22,100. Roads superintendent Ronn MacDonald said last week that despite the heavy snowfall over the winter, the budget did not take as severe a beating as in some municipalities. In January and February, the Township spent $199,000 on winter control, which leaves $101,000 to handle snow removal in November and December of this year. The $199,000 spent in the first two months is about $59,000 more than in the first two months of 1984, and Mr. MacDonald said most of this increase was taken up by addi- tional sanding and the fact there was one more snow plow on the roads. He said snow removal costs in Scugog this winter did not go through the roof because the ac- cumulation was gradual and there was no major severe storms. Meanwhile Scugog Township has reached an agreement for a new con- Be Hearin Aid G tract with its 13 unioniz- ed outside workers. The one year pact give the employees a 4.5 per cent wage increase and there are minor adjustments to the benefits package. The contract is retroactive to January 1 of this year. Mr. Mac- Donald told the Star he is pleased with the bargain- ing and the terms of the new agreement. entre ¢f Port Perry Dennis J Hogan ann Hearing Aid Consultaht Dr. E.
