Scugog learned about four weeks ago that because total property assessment here this year is slightly lower than in Uxbridge Township, Scugog will lose one of its two trustees on the Board of Education, and Uxbrige will be increased from one to two.

None of the three Sidewalk collapses, three plunge nine Three Port Perry area residents had a frightening experience last week when a concrete slab in front of a Queen Street store gave way and they plunged nine feet into the store basement. Luckily, Burnsell and Marion Webster of Port Perry and Helen Weeden of Prince Albert suffered only scrapes and bruises as a result of the mishap. They were treated for the injuries at Port Perry Hospital and released the same day. According to Durham Region police constable Rick Olaisen, the trio was leaving David's Hairstyling at 257 Queen Street last Wednesday afternoon when they stepped onto the concrete in the door- way leading to the store. The concrete slab, about four feet by four feet, literal- ly fell out from underneath them, and they ended up in feet into basement the basement nine feet below. Constable Olaisen said it was "very fortunate' the victims were not seriously hurt or even killed. Just why the weight of three people on the slab caused it to break away is not clear at this time, but Constable Olaisen said vibrations from the recently completed Queen Street construction may have caused the slab to work away from the foundation and wall of the building. The slab was not part of the new sidewalk constructed this summer in front of stores on both sides of Queen Street. After his treatment at hospital, Mr. Webster told the Star that the experience was a frightening one. "We were pretty shaken up by it, and just lucky we didn't break our arms or legs," he said.
