But it would appear the most prevailing objection is to the com- mercial component. Initially, when the matter was first discussed several months ago, there was a concensus among coun- cillors not to include the commercial component which at that time call- ed for a four acre parcel for several neighbourhood-type shops. Council however, agreed in prin- ciple to the one acre parcel at a 'meeting a month ago. (Councillor Howard Hall and Yvonne Christie were not in favour of the commer- cial aspect).

He said some of the people who have signed the petition feel strong- ly enough about the issue to pursue it in front of the Ontario Municipal Board, if need be. Mayor Jerry Taylor responded by stating that council felt it was in the. best interest of both the existing residents of the area and the future residents to include the commercial designation. "We are trying to make decisions that blend the concerns of all the residents," he said. This matter is expected to be on the table again for discussion when council meets again on September Board wants school (From page 1) allocated to a school in Pickering after the deal for the Fairgrounds site fell through. Mrs. Lafarga said that if negotia- tions between the Fair Board and Township council are successful and the Fairgrounds site becomes available, work on a new school there would start after the 1987 Fair on Labour Day Weekend. She also told the Star following Monday's meeting that the Board of Education has no plans to ex- propriate the land if the negotiations fail, because the timetable does not permit this kind of lengthy action. Others attending Monday's coun- cil meeting when this issue was discussed included Board of Educa- tion director Bruce Mather, direc- tor of plant operations Jim Russell, Scugog trustees Debbie Tredway and Joyce Kelly, and several in- terested spectators who are members of parents groups in the community. a TT a To oN an 4 i Ta a TT =m PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, September 9, 1986 -- 3 wir om" ar . Bh Sem St Court to hear Jessop appeal An appeal of an Queensville man's acquittal in the sex-killing of a nine-year-old girl will be heard by the Ontario Court of Appeal, February 4, 1987. A jury spent 14 hours delibe ating at the conclusion of a five week trial last February, before finding 26 year old Guy Paul Morin not guilty of the first degree murder of Christine Jessop, who had lived next door to him. The remains of the little girl were discovered just north of Port Perry in a wooded farmer's field on December 31, 1984, three months after she was last seen leaving a corner store near her home. An autopsy proved the child had been repeatedly stabbed. Durham Regional Police arrested Morin on April 22, while he was en route from his home to a band practise in Stouffville, and charged him with the murder. Several police representatives, including Durham Police Chief Jon Jenkins expressed their dismay and displeasure over the jury's not guilty verdict. More recently, Durham police refused to either confirm or deny rumours that Morin was presently living just north of Ashburn under an assumed name. The appeal of Morin's acquittal will be based on four points made in Mr. Justice M.A. Craig's final address to the jury during the trial. Among the points that will be argued by the Crown will be that the judge erred when he told the jury they could not use psychological testimony showing Morin to be schizophrenic and capable of slay- ing Jessop, as evidence in determining whether Morin was the killer. The Crown will also point to the fact that the judge directed the jury to look at any circumstantial evidence individually, rather than as a whole, when they considered whether there was reasonable doubt of Morin's guilt. The appeal will be argued by David Fairgrieve from the Attorney General's Crown Law Office in Toronto. Michael L. Fowler and Bryan T. Davies are pleased to announce effective September 2, 1986 they have merged to practice law under the name FOWLER, DAVIES BARRISTERS & SOLICITORS and that they will be practicing law at 217 Queen Street, Port Perry, Ontario 985-8411 (formerly Port Perry office; Kelly, Jermyn, Zuly & Fowler) Do you want a heating supplier you 77 - this winter and wy ERI TL md i a og THE COLD.
