dnb isie PORT PERRY Serving Scugog Township Es >» of 32 Pages Re-zoning required: Wednesday, December 15, 1976 Home for emotional children Scugog Township Council will seek further information before dealing with a request by Chimo Youth Services Inc. to rezone a downtown Port Perry house to allow it to be used as a group home for emotionally disturbed young people. Council will seek inform- ation about Chimo and their programs from education, regional, and provincial agencies, as well as the Township of Brock, which hosts two Chimo centres now. . In a pamphlet passed out To build watermain Hunger among area con- tractors was the main reason given for the bargain base- ment price that the region will have to spend to install the new watermain from the new well site along Regional Road 2, south of Port Perry. Durham Region has ap- proved the $339,408. tender of Advice Contracting Ltd. "The estimated cost: of the project is considerably below the budget amount Thuron Limited has, grown rapidly from a expected $2 million in business next year. because of the extremely competitive situation that exists in the construction industry . at this time," a works department report states. The Markham firm was "the lowest ,of 21 tenders submitted, ranging all the way up to a high of $516,000. submitted by a Downsview firm. According to Scugog (continued on page 7) 8 over the past few years, $175,000. to an Thuron concern officially moved out of its cramped Water Street quarters to its new plant at the renovated hatchery building on Highway 7A in a brief ceremony Monday. Response to launching Scugog Santa encouraging Response has been good to the launching of Scugog Organization Santa, a plan to co-ordinate the giving of Christmas gifts 40 the less fortunate (due to financial, sickness or loneliness) throughout the Township of Scugog, with the co-opera- tion of various participating organizations and individu- als. According to Betty Deeth of the sponsoring Scugog Social Planning Council, a questionnaire circulated last month to various area clubs and organizations has had over '12 positive responses. "There are still some organizations that wish to continue on an individual basis only,' said Mrs. Deeth, "but we've got quite a few who have indicated they would like to take part." Basic idea behind the organization of Christmas gift projects in the commun- ity is to avoid duplication and to make sure all those in the community who are at the Monday meeting of council, Chimo is described as a non-profit organization with the purpose of providing care and treatment for emotionally disturbed young people between the ages of 11 and 18. The agency is totally fund- ed by the Ministry of Health through the Children's Mental Health Centres Act, which means there is no cost to the parent and-or agency for the care and treatment. The house, located across the street from the IGA at 279 Queen Street would have to be rezoned from C3 to . allow institutional develop- ment. The home here would pro- vide the fourth and final stage of Chimo's continuous program of working with young people, Called a re-entry house, it would be established for young people who can live in a community setting and are able to par- ticipate even marginally in the activities in a community. At this time the focus is on helping the young person to integrate himself into com- munity living, according to Chimo. Executive Director Bill Morton told council, boys would be encouraged to join local hockey teams and be involved in local activ- ities. The house would have about six young people in residence, and would handle another 15 to 20 young people in the community. Chimo considers their pro- grams unique to Ontario in: environments, flexibility, - and continuity.

The S.0.S. would be set up so all organizations of the Township of Scugog, who find their own recipients, do their own research as to elegibility based on their own criteria, will b® asked to share voluntarily the names and addresses of the recipi- ents by reporting to the collector. The collector will be a person of trust, acceptable to Po participating organizations, who will collect the names and addresses from the organizations. The names and addresses of recipients only will be passed on to the Central Clearing File, to be checked for duplication. The names of the organizations given to the recipients will be confidential information, used only by the Collector to contact said organizations if duplications are identified in Central Clearing File.

AS I a ldiaid mk si dusindidon a Having the happiest of birthdays Monday was Herb Eagleson. Why happy? You would be too if you were in the same shape as Herb....and 101 years old! 101 YEARS YOUNG You might say 101-year-old Herb Eagleson has had some excellent medical advice in his time. In fact, when he asked his family doctor some years ago about how long he had left, the doctor told he he'd make it to 105. Sharp, alert and active, Herb looks like he's going to prove the doctor a conser- vative. He told the doctor he'd take care of himself to 100. The other five years he gave lo the doctor. "As it turns out," Mr. Eagleson told the STAR on his 100th birthday last year. "He needs them (the years) more than I do. It's his joints...he's having a lot of trouble..." A resident of the Lindsay- Seagrave area most of his life, the Community Nursing Home resident thinks one reason for his longevity is the "square' life. He's farmed most of his life, never smoked and never drank. *'Lots of fresh air and exercise," he said. "He's defied every dietary law," said daughter Marion Tristram of Toronto about her father, who likes a double serving of anything sweet. Council refuse to CNdOrsSe recon Howard Hall failed Monday night to get Scugog Township Council to endorse the staging of a recount. Mr. Hall, who failed in his bid for the Area Councillor at Large seat on Scugog Town- ship, asked that the council consider a recount under the Municipal Elections Act 1972, Chapter 98, Section 81, Item 2, which reads in part that a recount or final addit- ion is desireable in the public interest. It was Mr. Hall's conten- tion that a separation of only ents name will rest with organizations concerned. The central clearing file - S.S.P.C. Christmas Commit- tee will conduct publicity campaign; file of recipients from collector in two parts; advise the collector of dupli- cation; accept and file names and address of persons who ask for assist- ance directly who reside in Township of Scugog and check eligibility in accord- ance with S.S.P.C. criteria. They will also check with the ST ETA A eight votes between winner and loser, coupled with 37 rejected ballots, was suffici- ent reason "in the public interest" for a recount. Out of a total of 4227 votes cast, Mr. Hall won 1895, eight behind Vernon Asselstine Joe Podres, third in the race got 429 votes. "I would like to point out that there were some 37 rejected ballots for this position (the largest number, I might add, of all positions), pointed out Mr. Hall in a brief to council (continued on page 15) Oshawa Christmas Assist- ance Program re duplica- tion; accepts gifts, NOT CASH and arrange storage and delivery; arrange drop boxes for new toys and cloth- ing and distribute names and addresses where applicable to organizations that request them.
