It truly can be- come the "sanctuary" envisoned by the originators of the Canada wideintitiative. Several local organizations sponsored the Peace Park dedi- cation ceremony. Their names will be listed on the plaque which will be placed in the park. The plaque will read "Cart- wright Peace Park was officially dedicated on October 8, 1992, commemorating Canada's 125th anniversary and as part of the Peace Parks Across Cana- da Project." Also on hand for the event were the Cartwright High School band who performed for the people as well as the R.H. Cornish Public School choir. "Scugog has great parks. This is truly one of them," said Mari- lyn Pearce, Ward 2 Councillor and Parks Committee Chair- man. "All of Scugog Township should take a moment to reflect in this peace sancutary," said Ken Gadsden, Ward 3 council- lor and Canada 125 chairman. Historian wants to preserve township By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star A local historian is seeking to preserve the historical integrity of the township. Paul Arculus, a retired teach- er at Port Perry High School, is attempting to establish a com- mittee that would be responsi- ble for preserving historically significant buildings. Mr. Arculus is hoping to es- tablish a Scugog-based Local Architectural Conservation Ad- visory 'Committee (LACAC). This volunteer group, chosen by municipal council, designates buildings in the township which they deem to have historical or architectural value. "There are dozens of build- ings in Port Perry that are ar- chitecturally or historically sig- nificant," he says. Mr. Arculus points to Town Hall 1873 and Bigelow House as just two examples as well as many homes in the area which he says possess examples of Italinate architecture. Recently Scugog council unanimously approved the idea of looking into the establish- ment of a LACAC group for the township. LACAC would determine which buildings, or portions of buildings, were significant in the area and recommend them for preservation. Although the group cannot prevent an owner from tearing down a building, Mr. Arculus says "significant barriers would be raised." "It's a conscience rather than an enforcer," he says. The LACAC group will con- sist of volunteers from the area who are interested in preserv- ing the historical and architec- turally significant building in the community. Not only will the group be re- sponsible for designating the buildings, it will also provide various seminars to the public. Funding will be made available on a 50:50 split by the Ontario Government's Ontario Heritage Branch and the municipal gov- ernment. Mr. Arculus says there is a real need to preserve the build- ings in the community. "We have a beautiful and unique community full of archi- tectural gems that need to be, where possible, preserved," he said. Chamber in good shape By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star The Scugog Chamber of Com- merce is in good shape, says its president Ken Carruthers. "1992 has been a very encour- aging year for the chamber," Mr. Carrutherssaid. In fact, by July, 1992 it had completely paid off its $35,000 debt which it had built up over the years. "Certainly for everybody it was encouraging,"he said. Mr. Carruthers listed a num- ber of successful ventures which enabled the organization to climboutofitsindebtedness. These included a highly suc- cessful elimination draw and an extremely successful Festival Days. 'It wag as fine a Festival Days as we could ever put on," he said. He said the annual event de- pends on the co-operation of han people, and believes the co-operative attitude this year added to the success. osice I #em50 _ LL | 2°° off 1] 20 slice Tpick- Up Special | MEDIUM PIZZA | BIGFOOT PIZZA with 3 toppings and = I y QO 12 Slice Pizza 4 cans of 99 3 © Find us fast in plus lax with pepperoni T cans o 80 Water Street, Port Perry * Free Delivery "VBR the "Yellow PEPSI ssa 11 BIGFOOT GIANT PIZZA na limited i Pages" ™ Additonal toppings available Not vad with any other offer i i Additional toppings available Not valid with any other offer 1 Additonal toppings available Not valid with any other offer | 985-8448 |." gb Caden hoger Expres Oct IWR ___ _] Lurk ony wih open ExpresOet 032 _ JLo ih pn Er OL To make 1992 a complete suc- cess, Mr. Carruthers would like to cap the year off with a good Santa Claus Parade. "We would truly like to make it the best Santa Claus Parade there has ever been," he said. Mr. Carruthers says the pa- rade will be coupled with the Business Improvement Area's (BIA) "Dickens of a Christmas" promotion. The chamber was also encour- aged by the amount of activity its tourist booth saw this sum- mer. More than 6,000 people visit- ed the booth this summer, up from 2,2001in 1991 and less than 1,000in 1990, its first year. Mr. Carruthers says the growth in numbers has "proven a need for a tourist booth in Scu- og. The number of members in the chamber has been growing as well with its ranks swelling to 117 this year, up from 90. Mr. Carruthers expects 140 mem- bers by next year. ! ! any 3 item - 28 slice | A A A A ur ( ™ ar" Se
