Po nL wn, (i or To Shanly Street law office Right to appeal granted The Port Perry law firm Fletcher- Tesluk has been granted the right to appeal an earlier court decision which would have forced the law firm from its office building on Shanly Street by the end of this month. The right to appeal was handed down in a Toronto Court on December 22. No date has been set for the actual appeal to be heard. This is the latest in an on-going legal battle between Scugog Township and Fletcher-Tesluk law firm over the office building that was moved to Shanly Street near Water Street last May. Scugog Township claims the lot on which the building is situated is not on an open and maintained municipal road, thus the building contravenes local by-laws. Early in December, Judge P Lawson of the Ontario Supreme Court agreed with the Township's claim and handed down an interim injunction which stated the building must be vacated by the end of this month. It is this decision which will be appealed by Fletcher-Tesluk. Scugog Council meets Durham Separate Brd. A delegation from the Durham Separate School Board, led by new- ly elected chairman Tia Woodcroft met for an informal discussion with council on Monday, December 21. Mrs. Woodcroft told council that she would like to see occasional meetings between the Board and Council to discuss items of mutual interest. "We believe that communication is very important," the Chairman told council. In a short address to the members of council, Mrs. Woodcroft said that Immaculate Conception School has grown from 133 students when it opened its doors six years ago, to an enrolment of 258 this year. She said that the board has pro- jected the enrolment figures for the next few years, and they expect that there will be approximately 300 students registered at the Catholic school in 1988. "The Board is already looking towards the year 1992 as the time a Looking for A Place to Advertise Your Business? LOOK HERE! Where consumers in need shop for the professionals in business!

The Catholic School Board pro- jects that by 1992 there will be 381 children attending the school, although according to provincial guidelines, that number could be as high as 588 students. By that date, it is probable that the elementary school will have up to six relocatable classrooms and an additional four portables on the pre- sent site. In reference to rumours that may have been circulating about a Catholic High School in Scugog Township, Mrs. Woodcroft said they are unfounded. "We have no intention of building a Catholic High School at this time, or at any time in the near future. We can not justify the expenditure for the number of students," she said. She went on to say, that any fami- ly wishing to have their children at- tend a Catholic High School would have to bus them to one of the schools in the southern part of the Region. Council asked if Mrs. Woodcroft had anything to say about the pro- posed Seniors project on the proper- ty adjacent to the school. She told them that although she had some concerns at first, all of her fears have been put to rest. "The Board and the parents both had concerns for the safety of the children," she said, "but now-we see the project as a positive one for both the Seniors and the children." Mrs. Woodcroft told council that, "as a Board, we support the project, but at the same time, we can Say it with a ...

The meeting ended with both par- ties agreeing that the informal discussion was healthy, and that they should meet again if either par- ty feels the need to discuss items of mutual interest. Parking tickets (From page 1) residential streets in Port Perry and in the business core where parked vehicles interfere with snow removal operations. The issuing of tickets will be stepped up in these instances. Also, in the rural areas on roads leading to Lake Scugog, parked vehicles with snowmobile trailers often present a serious problem for emergency vehicles (fire, am- bulance) and tickets will be issued against offenders. Simply put, the new system means that if you get a pesky park- ing ticket, you can either pay the fine or take the case to court. Just ripping the ticket up or ignor- ing it will catch up, eventually. PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, December 30, 1987 -- 3 PORT PERRY PLAZA mm BO uresTe Ts ase Look your best for New Years!
