Live bands for Franks? Scugog Township council appears ready to allow Frank's Restaurant in Caesarea to bring in live bands provided the restaurant owners agree to certain conditions laid down by the Municipality. The restaurant is now in the pro- cess of seeking a re-zoning which would legally allow live bands to ~ perform there. Several weeks ago, a delegation of Caesarea residents officially ob- jected to the re-zoning application on the grounds that live bands would create loud noise late at night and disturb homeowners living nearby. Council discussed the issue at Monday's meeting and generally agreed that the re-zoning would be approved if there is a six-foot high privacy fence put on around the south and west side of the restaurant; if there is adequate air conditioning and ventilation equip- ment installed so that doors can be kept closed during the warm weather months; if emergency ex- it doors are kept closed; and the zon- ing permits live bands only and no other kind of entertainment. The Township is scheduled to hold a meeting early in November Gary Valcour, the lawyer acting for the restaurant to determine if Frank's owners will agree to meet these conditions.

Canada Post Com- munity Relations Officer Jeff Conn wishes to clarify that Peter Fitton, owner of the Country Store in Nestleton, was offered the same contract as Mark Malcolm.

Yvonne Barclay, plant chairper- son with Teamsters Local 647 which represents the union Flamingo employees said that while she is happy that 28 employees with less than five years service will receive severance pay, the up-coming clos- ing of the Flamingo plant in Port Perry leaves a bitter taste. "We should be going into contract negotiations. Instead we are negotiating severance pay," she told the Star Monday afternoon. --.. All Flamingo employees = share severance package The severance pay package was out-lined to union employees at a meeting Sunday afternoon. Earlier this month, officials with the Flamingo parent company, Culinar Inc. of Quebec, announced that the Port Perry plant will be closed down by the end of this year and the production lines moved to a plant in Aurora purchased by Culinar this summer. Close to 80 union employees and several staff will be affected by the closing of the plant.
