And the design of the school, to be built on Simcoe Street north of Durham Road 8, will be a copy of the design used for the recently com- pleted Pringle Creek P.S. in Whitby. Jim Russell, a senior ad- ministrator with the Durham Board said last the proposal for the new school will be forwarded to the pro- vincial Education Ministry this month, and it has been given "top priority status" by the Durham Board. I. The estimated cost of the new school is $3.8 million (not including land costs) and the Ministry's share is about 60 per cent. The remainder will be picked up by the Durham Board. Mr. Russell said that while the Building in Scugog Shepherd last week. Lori Risebrough was walking along the 10th concession, near her home, when the dog rushed out of a driveway and attacked her. Board is confident the plans will get the green light from the provincial Ministry, that decision will not be made until April. If there are no snags, construction will start in early summer 1988 and the school will open for students in September 1989. When the School Board original- ly announced plans for a new elementary school for Port Perry about two years ago, it was for a K-6 facility. However, those plans had to be delayed as the Board looked for a suitable location, and in the interim, Mr. Russell said a decision was made for the K-8 school. "All in all, it looked like the best solution to take the pressure off the grades 7 and 8 at R.H. Cornish," he said. The new school will be an L- (Turn to page 6) Scugog Township is well on the way in 1987 to setting an all time record for construction and housing starts. Figures released this week by the Township show that up to the end of August, the total value of building permits issued stands at $29.9 million, just about double the $14.4 million worth of permits issued dur- ing the same eight months in 1986. If the trends in the first eight months of year continue, it appears certain-that Scugog will top $35 million in new construction this year, a dramatic increase over last year's total of about $20 million. As might be expected, the single largest increase has been in con- struction of new homes and apart- ment units. Up to the end of August, the Township had issued permits for 267 single family homes and apart- ments worth just over $24.5 million. By comparison in 1,.6, the figure to the end of August stood at 147 units with a value of $11.3 million Other sectors of the construction activity that have jumped con siderably in 1987 include additions Inspector Glover Hutchinson of Durham Regional Police said the animal knocked the slight girl to the ground "like a rag doll' and began "chewing on her left leg," removing chunks of flesh' and exposing the bone. "During the attack she was also flipped over onto her stomach and suffered bites elsewhere. Paralyzed with fear, Inspector Hutchinson said young Lori froze while the 88 pound animal attacked. Eventually the dog wandered off. Dragging her injured legs behind her, Lori pulled herself 1,000 feet to the nearest home, where the owner drove her to her home. Her mother then took her to Oshawa General Hospital, where she is now listed in stable condition. . Inspector Hutchinson says she will probably remain in hospital for a week or two, under the care of plastic surgeons. Charges of criminal negligence causing bodily harm were to be laid against the owner of the dog, Krystyna Toth of Sumac Rd. The dog was caught and impound- ed by Newcastle animal control of- ficers and will be destroyed, Inspec- tor Hutchinson said. ~ Saying Lori was 'lucky to be alive," the Inspector was impress- ed with her courage and determina- tion in dragging herself so far for help after the attack. Starts may top $35 million and alterations at $1.4 million, near- ly triple the 1986 figures. Agricultural and industrial per- mits have shot up to $883,000 in value from $362,000 last year. And for commercial buildings, the figure has doubled this year to $1.4 million. One area that has dropped slight- ly is in commercial additions and alterations where there were 11 per- mits worth $733,000, compared with 16 last year worth just over $800,000.
