Did You Know - despite what many think, the tower crane being used for the new Bay- view Condominium project on Perry St. is not the first of this type of crane to be used in construction in Port Perry. The above picture, taken in Oct. 1996 shows a similar tower crane being used to help construct the West Shore Village retirement project. What is ironic is that both of these projects were constructed along Perry St., West Shore at the north end and Bayview to the south. Did You Know? - Eat Smart! Ontario’s Healthy Restaurant and Cafeteria Pro- grams, offer an “Award of Excellence” to restaurants and school and workplace caf- eterias that meet exceptional standards in nutrition and food safety. Schools in Ajax, Clarington, Oshawa, Pickering and Whitby all won the award, but not one in Scugog Township. Kind of makes you wonder what the kids are being served for lunch at our school caf eterias in Port Perry?

After the St. Agnes Church ceased to operate, the bell tower was removed and brought to Port Perry where it was raised to the roof of the local Anglican church. After St. Agnes Church closed, it sat empty Sor a number of years. It is now operated as the Greenbank Centennial Hall. Did You Know? - while Lake Scugog and many other lakes in the Kawartha Lakes system were subjected to the sight and smell of thousands of dead carp last summer, did you know there was one local area that went unaffected by the virus? According to the manager of the Osler Marsh property, south of the Scu- gog causeway, no dead carp were found on their extensive holdings. Good news for sure, but it makes a person wonder why that area was immune!!! website: www.focusonscugog.com “FOCUS. FEB.2008.indd 25 Meeting was a comic opera Dear Sir: On January 16, I attended the Ka- wartha Region Conservation Authority's rancorous meeting, almost a comic op- era; here is my impression of the plot and players. Larry O’Conner (Brock) unimpos- ing, not easily rattled with knowledge of the rules and gives direction to this dys- functional board. Alex Ruth unassuming and knowledgeable who rescinded and revisited the motion to remove former CAO Macnab, probably realizing that severance would be 24% to 35% of KRCA’s budget. Jim McMillan (Scugog), David Marsh (City of Kawartha Lakes), who uses his knowledge of the rules to disrupt and takes every opportunity to destroy CA. The public were not allowed to speak, however these questions need to be asked: Was a meeting held to orchestrate the removal of Mr. Macnab? Does Councillor Marsh have any con- flicts of interest regarding real estate dealings? Did the Board recognize that with Mr. Macnab’s service, age and position, case Jaw would give him a severance payout of two to three years - I estimate that to be in the region of $248,000 to $372,000. Should Mr. Macnab not rejoin KRCA, then I think that those directors responsi- ble for firing Mr. Macnab should pay for his severance from their own pockets.
