To all a speedy recovery. On Saturday evening, Mrs. Hazel Whittaker of Lindsay entertained a motley collection of her friends and acquaintances for dinner and a social evening. Among those present were Eileen and Howard Malcolm, Ann and Murray Malcolm, Mrs. Audrie Brown, Mr. Art Rowan, Brenda and Terry Malcolm and Corie and Harvey Malcolm. Hazel is planning on moving to Victoria, B.C. the latter part of August to be closer to her family and will be missed by her local friends. A number from Yelverton attended the 125th Anniver- sary Celebration of Lindsay this past long weekend. Hearty congratulations to the Town of Lindsay on holding a wide variety of events and in their efficient execution of same. Sat- urdays two-two and one half hour long parade can go down in history as one of the finest ever witnessed. The presence of the Shriners organization from many Ont- ario centres contributed a great deal to the occasion. Hats off to the Town of Lindsay. On Civic Monday August 2, Marleah and Paul Bowen and Karen held an Open House and family picnic with over forty members in attendance. Included in this tri-family reunion were the Bowen families (Paul's sisters and brothers and their families), the McMullen-Adams families and the Wilbert Malcolm branch of the family tree.

Announce policies for environment protection New policies announced by the provincial and federal governments will strengthen environmental protection along Ontario's major re creational waterways. The policies, part of the CORTS (Canada-Ontario Rideau, Trent-Severn) management undertaking focus on water quality, equatic weeds, fishing and hunting oppor- tunities. The 680 km. CORTS corridor includes the Rideau Canal and the Trent-Severn, and their linking axis, the Bay of Quinte region. In recent years, there has been growing public interest in the waterways' environ- ment, particularly as the number of users has grown, and as the economic impor- tance of tourism revenue increases. Water pollution, producing the all too visible problems of aquatic weed and algae growth, has been a major concern. Pollution also occurs on a less visible and more limited scale, through unhealthy bacterial growth, that can affect local swim- ming areas. Pollution enters the water- ways from specific 'point sources" such as storm sewer run-offs, or untreated sewage systems. But a far greater source is agricul- tural and rural run-off. Here, phosphorous concentrations enter the water system through livestock manure, or fertilizer enriched soil erosion. Once in the water- way, phosphorous-rich sed- iments begin to nourish excessive plant growth. To date, there have been encouraging strides made in controlling point source poll- ution. Over fifty million dollars have been spent on pollution control systems in the CORTS corridor in the Birdseye Pool (From pagel) Mayor Jerry Taylor told council -that the Health Department has expressed reservations about the condi- tion of the pool for the past several years. When the matter was raised at a meeting of council three weeks ago, it was suggested that it might OFFICE FURNITURE Filing Cabinets Desks - Chairs - etc. PORT PERRY STAR 235 Queen Street 985-7383 be feasible to build a new pool at the present location. However, the ground water and soil problems - apparently are too severe to allow this. Council took no action during Monday's meeting on the pool issue, but the general feeling was that the Township should try to get a couple more years use at least out of Birdseye Pool. When asked Monday after- noon what the cost of build- ing a new pool similar in size would be, Mr. Rowe said he would be able to give council an accurate estimate later this fall. In 1976, the council spent $35,000 on new change rooms, shower facilities and washrooms at Birdseye Pool. last five years. Certain pro- blem areas do exist: studies are currently underway to cut down on pollution en- tering sections of Lake Simcoe and the Ottawa sec- tion of the Rideau River. The new CORTS policies herald a renewed and co- ordinated attack on agricul- tural run-off -- a 'diffuse' source of pollution that, experts estimate, can con- tribute about seventy per cent of phosphorous entering a lake system like the Kawarthas. Existing farm operations will be monitored to upgrade pollution control practices. Good pollution management will also be tied to new farm incentive programs run both by the provincial and federal governments. The Ontario government will also set water quality targets for the major corridor waterbodies. De- velopment on these lakes and rivers will be closely keyed to successful pollution control systems. As pollution loadings are reduced, the lush growth of aquatic weeds that plague parts of the waterways should begin to abate. How- ever, stimulated by the . ubiquitous green arrival to the waterways of eurasian milfoil, there are also CORTS initiatives to control weed growth. Both the Ontario and fed- eral governments will con- "tinue weed control research. Navigation channels will be cleared. In larger water areas, co-operative pro- grams and funding will be examined for weed control by herbicides or harvesting. The public has expressed concern for the decline in the number of quality of game, particularly fish. Tourism operators have pointed out the importance of fishing -and hunting to their in- dustry. The CORTS policies strengthen fish and game management programs in the improvement of habitat, and the regulation of fishing and hunting pressures. Bob Burgar, a Regional Director for Ontario's Minis- try of Natural Resources, and a manager who will help guide many of the resource protection programs, is optimistic: "The CORTS is a tremendous land and water area to monitor. However, 'the CORTS policies can bring together the research and field expertise we need to do the job. With public interest and co-operation, these waterways can be kept as _ outstanding - natural settings -- -- and as out- standing recreational assets." HELEN M.
