wpm lL LL SU i pl Grills of Prince Albert out-dazzled them all "Oh, the weather frightful, But the lights, delightful..." That should have been the theme song of this year's Christmas Lights contest, organized by the Port Perry Star. The weather WAS frightful as outside 1S they're quite Meet Stan and Beth Grills, the similing Prince Albert folks who are virtually famous for their yearly Christmas lights display. Their beautiful yard earned them first place in the Star's Christmas three judges aiid their driver took to the streets last Wednesday December 16 and drove to every corner of Scugog Township looking at 25 beautifully lit homes. It was cold, bitterly cold, with the snow blowing every which way, but the judges were feeling warm- hearted as they sallied forth from Lights contest. See story for details. All in all, it took John B. McClelland, Pat Webster and Angie Kroonenberg nearly four and a half hours to complete their judging duties, with contest organizer Cathy Olliffe at the wheel. And after four and a half hours, the judges were forced to pick three winners. It certainly wasn't an easy job. Even though each entry was judg- ed by a points system (30 possible ._points--10 for overall impact, 10 for originality, and 10 for amount of ef- fort), several ties resulted that were broken only by much discussion. Finally, however, a decision was reached.

It is estimated that the cost of in- stalling signals at the intersection would be in the neighbourhood of $100,000. Scugog council has not made any commitment to contribute to this cost, if high-level approval for the lights is granted. The meeting between the Scugog delegation and Mr. Fulton had been scheduled for December 22, but was cancelled. It is believed the meeting will be early in the New Year. PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, December 22, 1987 -- 3 one festive home to the next. a meet Cov ncil to discuss store The Central Seven Association wants another meeting with Scugog Township council to try to get ap- proval for a variety-convenience . store to be located in the Associa- tion's workshop at the corner of Durham Road 8 and Simcoe Street in Port Perry. The Association's executive direc- tor James Duncan told the Star last week he hopes to meet with council in the near future to answer ques- tions and clarify the proposal for the store. On Dec ember 14 in a split vote, council rejected a re-zoning applica- tion from Central Seven which would have cleared the way for the store at the workshop. The vote ended in a 3-3 deadlock, but was lost because the rules of procedure dictate that a tie vote is a defeated vote. In that tie vote, Mayor Jerry Taylor, councillors Harvey Graham and Lawrence Malcolm were in favour, while councillors Howard Hall, Neil McLaughlin and Don Cochrane were opposed. Councillor Yvonne Christie did not vote on the issue because she is a member of the Central Seven Board of Directors. Councillors opposed to the store at the workshop were mostly concern- ed that if granted, Central Seven 20th, closed ata; :00 p.m. Important Notice The Port Perry Star wishes to Inform its readers, ad- venrtisers and contributors of our revised Christmas _ printing schedule and store hours.
