Still no deal as fair approaches No talks planned as lease dispute continues By Jeff Mitchell Port Perry Star Entry forms have been mailed out and attrac- tions are being booked for this year's Port Perry Fair, but a dispute over the fairgrounds lease between the township and the fair board remains unresolved. No formal talks between Scugog officials and fair organizers have been held, and none are imminent as a disagree- ment over a termination clause in the new lease enters its second year. "Basically, nobody's talking to anybody right now," fair board president Paul Christie said Friday. "We've just sort of been in limbo waiting to see 'what new councillors got in, and what their posi- tion was." The dispute erupted last summer as the town- ship and the fair board sat down to hammer out details for the lease on the municipally-owned fairgrounds, on Reach St. in the north end of Port Perry. Fair organizers say they made some conces- sions in the lease negoti- ations, allowing the town- ship more input on the activities that occur at the fairgrounds. But they have balked 'at the township's insis- tence that a termination clause be included in the lease, which is up for renewal in 1997. Township politicians say the termination clause is a standard inser- tion in any lease these days. The disagreement came to a head during the fair last Labor Day weekend, when the fair board erected a sign at the exposition which said the township was dealing with a heavy hand, and threatening continuation of the fair, which has run here for 130 years. Councillors reacted angrily to the public accu- sations. And since then, talks have stalled. Scugog Mayor Howard Hall said he has made attempts to feel out the fair board's position with a view to settling the dis-- pute and getting the new lease signed and sealed. "It's just in limbo," he said last week, adding that he has been told the fair board has held dis- cussions on the issue, but has yet to approach the township to re-open talks. The mayor said that more give and take will likely be required when the two parties approach the lease issue once more. "I guess that's what negotiations are all about," he said. "There has to be give and take on both sides." Mr. Christie too is hop- ing the two parties haven't become so solid in their positions that negotiations will falter again. "If we can get some new thinking at the council level, I'm sure it will be better on our part," he said. 44,000 chickens lost as barn As much as $500,000 worth of damage was caused at a farm north of Scugog during Friday night's storm when high winds brought down a three-story chicken barn. Durham Regional Police said Martin Van Harrten of Durham Rd. 13 was awakened around 2:30 a.m. Saturday by high winds that accom- panied: a tornado that touched down in the area. Mr. Van Harrten said he got out of bed to close windows against the storm, and felt his house begin to shake around him while the wind howled. When the power failed Mr. Van Harrten went out to start a generator and found that his three- deck, 40-foot by 150-foot chicken barn, which con- tained some 44,000 chick- ens, had collapsed. The following day while he was inspecting 4 WINNER... Jodie Foster id People's Choice Award 1995 \d Best Actress in a Dramatic Film That's right!
