Cureatz, 39, retained his seat in the new Durham East riding, one of just 16 Conservatives to do so in Ontario. And considering the massive Liberal sweep through Ontario, Cureatz had a relatively easy time of it as he out-polled Diane Hamre of the Liberals by 1418 votes. When all the ballots were finally counted from the 168 polls in the far- flung Durham East riding, Cureatz wound up with 11,301 compared with 9,883 for Hamre and 6788 for New Democrat Marg Wilbur. First elected to the Legislature in Council asks School Board for Scugog Township council wants the Durham Board of Education to pick up half the cost of a consul- tant's study concerning the reloca- tion of the Port Perry Fairgrounds. The Township paid $33,000 for the study, which was completed earlier this summer, and found, among other things that it would cost well over $1 million to relocate the Fairgrounds from the present site to a new one near the Scugog Arena. Based on the findings in that study, the Durham Board of Educa- tion decided to drop expropriation proceedings to get part of the Fairgrounds as the site for a .new school. The Board subsequently bought another site on Simcoe Street north for the new elementary school. : "We (council) were pressured in- to that study. It's only right that the School Board should pay a share, at least half," said Ward 3 councillor Don Cochrane at Monday after- noon's meeting." Other councillors agreed, in- cluding Mayor Jerry Taylor, who noted that members of council back- ed the school board right through the controversial school site issue last year. Council agreed to write a letter to order on Shanley building Scugog Township will be going to court later this month to ask for an injunction against the owners of an office building relocated to an unopened section of Shanley Street in Port Perry. The request for the injunction will be made September 23 in the Supreme Court in Whitby. The Township will ask the Court to order the law firm of Fletcher- Tesiuk to immediately stop occupy- ing the building on the unopened section of Shanley Street, near Water Street. And the municipality will also ask the Court to order that the building be moved from the location. Whitby lawyer David Sims has been hired by the Township to argue the municipality's case. The building was moved last May from its former location just west of the Port Perry IGA Store to where it presently sits on an unopened por- tion of Shanley Street. The Township will argue that a building on a lot on an unopened road contravenes municipal by- laws. In June of this year, the Township council passed a resolution which stated that the building would be allowed to remain if the portion of Shanley Street was upgraded to full municipal standards and the lot was serviced with water and sewer hook- ups. Along with the law firm of Fletcher-Tesluk, the Supreme Court application for the injunctions names William Tripp of Port Perry, owner of the land where the building now sits, money the Durham Board of Education asking for half of the $33,000 cost of the study by Sesquaig Inc., an Ot- tawa based consulting firm. am Cureatz manages to hold on to Durham East 1977 by the slimmest of margins (122 votes) Cureatz was an easy winner in 1981 and in 1985, he was re-elected by a margin of close to 6,000 votes. But his fourth win last Thursday had a bitter-sweet taste to it as the once powerful Big Blue Machine which dominated Ontario politics for so many years was completely dismantled by David Peterson and his red-tie Liberals. Arriving at his election night headquarters in downtown Bowmanville just before 10:00 p.m. last Thursday to the cheers and ap- plause of about 150 party faithfuls in Durham East riding, Cureatz was jubilant about his own personal victory. "Let me tell you, this one feels good. It has been a difficult cam- (Turn to page 10) oA » = A jubilant Sam Cureatz greets Conservative supporters and campaign workers following his victory in Durham East last Thurs- day night.
