12-- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Feb. 15, 1978 Seagrave and area news By Marilyn Beacock This past weekend was certainly quite an active one for some of us around the - village. A few couples enjoyed a weekend of snow- mobiling with the Port Perry Snowmobile Club at a lodge in the Muskoka Lakes region and as might be expected all report having a super time. Saturday -evening the Group Committee for the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts sponsored a dance at the Latcham Centre and it too was a decided success. Many thanks to everyone who attended and especially to those kind mothers who supplied sandwiches for the lunch afterwards. Guests of Ken and Eleanor Sturman over the weekend were Mr. and Mrs. Garry Sweetman and family of Streetsville. Mr. and Mrs. Sweetman also attended the dance with the Sturmans. The congregation at church on Sunday was delighted by Miss Dianne Baylis of Greenbank who entertained them with her lovely voice. Hope you'll be back again real soon, Dianne! Happy birthday to Mrs. Ingram who dropped a coin or two into the birthday box } 1978.

Scugog Island area by Mrs. Earl Reader On Wed. evening-23 ladies met at the home of Mrs. Grace Love for the "Head" U.C.W. As guests we were pleased to welcome Rev. and Mrs. Romeril, Rev. and Mrs. Clarke, Rev. and Mrs. Linstead, Cliff Redman and Cliff Love. After a short business period led by the vice- president Mrs. Love, the men were requested to join us for the devotional and study of the Caribbean Cresc. The talk given by Rev. Romeril, who spent several years in the West Indies and "particularly in Jamaica, where he served for 5 years, gave us a much better understanding of the people, their lives and their needs. Mrs. Romeril show- ed lovely pictures to help give a better idea of the beauty, industry and vege- tation of the Island. During a social hour, everyone en- joyed a lunch including tropical fruits and other products of the Islands. On Sunday, we were pleased to welcome Rev. Linstead back to church after his. vacation in Florida. His story for the children was a true exper- ience of a young missionary 225 years ago in U.S. when David Brainerd was sent to the Indians at a time when the white man and Indians had learned: to hate each other. With some doubt as to how he would be received, he found that History History proves that every time several armies get through shuffling the cards .some kings are missing from the deck. ° prayer for strength was answered, enabling him to be accepted by the Indians. The city of Brainerd Minn, was named in honour of him in 1870. We are now in the Lenten season which brings to mind our first choices for our lives are not always our final destinations. We are sorry to report that Mrs. Christena Prentice is in hospital. ; special to WWVA JAMBOREE [Wheeling West Virginia) SHOW STARS MERLE HAGGARD Mar. 3rd to Sth, 1978 For details contact: NONQUON TRAVEL 985-2334 TRENTWAY TOURS| Resort threatens legal action against Township Resort owner Phil Goreski is threatening legal action against ~~ Scugog Township because the municipality will not give him a building permit. Mr. Goreski attended the regular meeting of Scugog council Monday evening to ask why a building permit application for work at his campsite and marina is not getting approval from the Township. He was told that council during the afternoon session had passed a motion stating that the building permit for construction of 20 covered boat slips will not be issued unless it "'conforms to exist- ing or amended site plan agreements' between the municipality and resort owner. The council has been seeking in recent months a new site plan agreement to cover the entire resort the campground operation including trailer park, and marina. At the meeting Monday night, Mr. Goreski said he would never sign a site plan agreement for the marina aspect of the resort oper- ation. Wayne Goreski, who also attended the meeting wanted to know why the summer resort is the only one in the area where a site plan agreement is required, saying "we have an agree- ment for the trailer park, and I can't see the reason for the other". Mr. Goreski recently com- "pleted extensive dredging work at the Lake Scugog resort to provide for an increased number of boat slips, and the permit he is seeking, which meets the building standards, would provide covers for the new slips.
