A BF I I I. I EERE Emm mmm Da hme ane { "A Family Tradition for 125 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Wednesday, September 4, 1991 - 3 FB SU m------------ i ---------- Location of new agriculture building announced soon The site of the new Ministry of Agriculture building is ex- pected to be announced some- time in September, says an offi- cial at Government Services. Roy Skinner, senior lease project officer, responsible for the building search says he hopes to have the location of the building determined by "mid- tolate-September." Mr. Skinner says there are five submissions being consid- ered for the site, and are cur- rently under review. More in- formation was requested for these sites, and was to be for- warded to Mr. Skinner's office by August 28. The Ministry of Agriculture announced its decision some time ago to consolidate two re- gional offices -- one in Uxbridge and one in Bowmanville -- un- der one roof in the Township of Scugog. Since that announce- ment it has entertained tenders from various building owners. The building is to be approxi- mately 5,500 square feet, in an accessible area for the resi- dents, as well as provide ade- quate parking. Mr. Skinner says the Town- ship was chosen because it was roughly halfway between Bow- manville to the east, and Ux- bridge to the west. Mayor Howard Hall believes the building will be good for Scugog. He points to the added traffic that the area will see, and the fact that it will bring the farming community closer together. "I think it's great," he said. "It'll make it a lot more accessi- ble for everyone." Deny accusations From Page 1 sion to the south of the facility was built, the residents claim that a recent plant expansion has been the prime cause for the noise. Mr. Jermyn said the expan- sion has done nothing to "alter Reilly - Nixon Len & Carm Nixon are proud to announce the engagement of their daughter Leanne to Todd, son of the situation." In fact, he says management has been sympa- thetic to the concerns of the res- idents and have been more than co-operative. At the Aug. 26 council meet- ing, an ad hoc committee was formed to look into the situa- tion at the plant. In response to that committee, Mr. Jermyn in- vited the members to visit the plant to "get the facts." He said it would be useless to allow the noise tester onto the property, however, as the problem with the sound is not on the property butin the neighbors' houses. Mrs. Copithorn is surprised that it was a normal day at the plant, however. She noted that a number of the residents ex- pressed their disbelief at the abnormally quiet day. She also acknowledged that Mother Jackson's have made some "cosmetic changes" to the plant in an attempt to alleviate AUTO EXTRICATION COMPETITION (hosted by Scugog Fire Department, Hall #1) Saturday Sept. 7, 1991 8:30 am to 4:00 pm Location Township Parking Lot, Water St. N.

Old age security and pension cheques arrived at the Port Perry post office Friday after- noon at about 2:30 p.m., post- master Bob Walker told the Port Perry Star. In-town letter carriers re- turned to work that afternoon to sort and deliver the cheques to Port Perry mailboxes, he said. The rural cheques were left in general delivery at the post office until Saturday and Mr. Walker said most of the cheques were picked up before the doors closed at 1 p.m. The rest of the cheques were tobe delivered in the mail Tues- day morning, he added. A truckload of mail arrived at the post office at 7 a.m. on Tues- day. Postal workers sorted and deliveredit that day. "It's business as usual," Mr. Walker stated. But that wasn't the case last week. Although Port Perry postal workers did not strike, there was little for them to do with virtually no mail coming into the office from outside the local area. Postal workers were sorting and delivering "anything we can get our hands on," Mr. Walker told the Star on Friday morning. During the slowdown, the lo- cal post office received about 200 calls a day from residents enquiring about their mail. "People were really con- cerned," he said, adding most oe i. 0 § yl | Reg MacDonald delivered about 12 letters a day last week. people were very polite and un- derstanding. Due to rotating strikes, mail service may be unpredictable until a settlement is reached. The letter carrier was glad to see that a shipment of mail had been dropped off at the Port Perry post office Tuesday morning.
