¥ Sd VA A -- garbage Claims down The amount paid by Scugog Township for livestock killed by dogs or wolves dropped sharply in 1986 from the previous year, and one reason may be that dead anifnals are covered by insurance policies carried by farmers. Glenn Larmer, livestock valuer for the Township, told council Mon- day afternoon that in 1986, the number of claims totalled $1540. The previous year, the figure was just over $7,000, and in 1984 Scugog paid $3,022 in livestock claims. Re-cycle ~ (from page 1) proval to the Regional initiative in the very near future. He admitted there are some loose ends in the agreement approved last week by the Regional council, but garbage re-cycling has become a necessity in the Region. The cost of dumping garbage in the several landfill sites in the Region is escalating each year. But more importantly, the life span of the landfill sites (including Scugog) is limited and the cost of finding a new garbage dump in the Region and then getting all the necessary approvals are estimated to be in the millions of dollars. Re-cycling will not eliminate the need for a new garbage disposal method in Durham at some point in the future, but it is expected to pro- long the life of the conventional - land-fill sites. for livestock Mr. Lar said part of the reason for the sharp drop in pay- outs by the Township was that farmers are insured for livestock loss, especially those with pure-bred sheep and cattle. Another reason, he said, was that in 1985, there were problems with dogs in the west part of the Township, but the problems were not evident the next year. Mr. Larmer is appointed by the Township to inspect livestock killed by dogs or wolves (coyotes) and set a figure for compensation to the farmer based on market prices and the value of the dead animal as breeding stock. Farmers whose animals are kill- ed by wolves receive compensation from the provincial governmeht. For those killed by roaming dogs, the compensation comes from the municipal dog tag fund. Members of council praised Mr. Larmer for his work as the livestock valuer, noting the municipality has received no complaints about the level of service or his judgemer.t for compensation.

Monday Council will listen to Fair Board but will not increase offer Members of Scugog Township council are willing to listen to a com- mittee from the Port Perry Fair Board over-the issue of relocation, but they are not willing to increase "the assistance package that was of- fered to the Fair last December, And the council wants any | meeting between the two sides to be held in. open session, not "in- camera' as was suggested at the Fair Board's annual meeting last week. Council, at its meeting Monday afternoon, endorsed a -resolution agreeing to meet with the Fair Board committee, but that resolu- tion also says that council considers the two previous offers of relocation assistance to have expired. While they voted in favour of a meeting, several councillors stated Nohockey sticks on 'open air o . ! 1 ice surface Scugog Township council has passed a resolution banning hockey sticks on the open air rink at the old .. lawn bowling site on Queen Street. The resolution was passed Mon- day afternoon after council heard that already there have been pro- blems and conflicts between skaters and youngsters wishing to play hockey. Although the municipality was not directly involved in the preparation of the rink, the Township council has final authority since the land is own- ed by the municipality. In discussing the problems Mon- day afternoon, council considered allocating certain times for hockey and. also some kind of a physical barrier down the middle of the rink to separate the skating area from hockey games. However, council finally agreed 'unanimously to a total ban on hockey at the rink. A sign to this effect will be posted at the rink in the very near future. 193 QUEEN ST, PORT PERRY (416) 985 7306 ALL LINES OF GENERAL INSURANCE VICTORIA AND GREY TRUST & VG 5 Year Annual Interest 8%: Semi-Annually Rates Subject 1o Change without Notice Monday they are not prepared to re- negotiate. "My position is that the offers have run out. There should be no more bargaining. Let the chips fall where they may," stated area coun- cillor Harvey Graham, referring to the fact that the Durham Board of Education has started proceedings to expropriate seven acres of the present Fairgrounds as the site for a new elementary school. "There is no way the council should agree to pay more than the original offer to the Fair Board ($300,000 plus site preparation for a new Fair location behind Scugog Arena) stated councillor Howard Hall. Members of the Fair Board declined to accept that offer last week, but voted instead to appoint a committee to meet with the coun-- cil "over a six week period to study specific expert recommendations, The project, called Scugog niors Community, would include 120 one bedroom apartment units in a single building; 144 condominium style housing units priced at about $80,000; and a seniors community « centre (about 6,000 square feet) with a dining room. Mr. Abrams said the apartment ° would be "modest" in style and ap- pearance and offered to seniors under a rent-geared-to:income "format. 'He told councillors Monday after- noon he was unveiling the plans to get their reaction and any sugges- "tions they might have. The project is proposed for a parcel of land owned by Aycuzz Realty on the west side of the Oshawa Road, across from the AG Simpson plant, south of Port Perry. The parcel is about 160 acres in size and currently there is draft plan approval from 71 single family homes on half-acre lots. Mr. Abrams told council that if the seniors community project gets off the ground, it could provide hous- ing for as many as 350 people. He said the project needs mupicipal approval for zoning changes, services (septic and municipal water) plus an allocation of about $500,000 in provincial grants for construction. Council took no action on the pro- posed project, other than to refer it to the municipal planner for plans for land preparation and the - comments. Fairgrounds relocation."
