"A Family Tradition for 130 Years" It's been dormant since mid-summer Blackstock residents are angry over derelict home By Jason Logan Port Perry Star Residents of a Black- stock meighborhood are fed up with what they say is some unfinished busi- ness on a lot on Greensbo- ro Dr. Lot#1,located on the ex- tention of Greensboro Dr. built a few years back, was left vacant until early last summer. That's when a half-finished home was brought to the property. Neighbors say that after some initial work was done to the basement of the house, the project was put on hold and has been dormant since then. That situation leaves neighbor- ing families very upset. "It's outrageous that an eyesore like that would be allowed to sit with no work being done to it for many months," said Carolyn Morton, who lives diago- nally across from lot #1. The property is seen by residents as dangerous for Doctors "From Page 1 According to Dr. Michael Gilmour, Chief of Medical Staff at Community Memorial Hospital, the potential shutdown of private practices on Friday will have little impact on the hospital. "The protest will have really little to no effect at all on the hos- pital," said Gilmour yesterday afternoon.

The Mortons' family dog suffered a severed artery late in the summer, and Mrs. Morton said that itis "highly likely" that the dog sustained the injury while investigating the lot. She said the dog left a trail of blood to the property in question. Roger Simmons, who lives next door to lot #1, agrees that it's dangerous, and would like to see things changed. "They've been diddling and diddling for a long time," he said. "They real- ly should get the darn thing done."

Mr. Wheadon couldn't be located for comment, and Mr. Middleton said that the previous contact number that the township had for Mr. Wheadon is now out of service. Residents of Greensboro Dr. are getting impatient with this situation and and want those involved to get the ball rolling. "I would like to see some action taken," said Mrs. Morton.
