McClelland Port Perry Star Better get those skates sharpened: it looks like the Ice Palace will be back on Lake Scugog again this winter, thanks in part to some financial help from the township. Council agreed unani- mously Monday afternoon -- the last meeting before the election next week -- to provide the palace with $2,500 in "bridge financ- ing" to buy snow fencing and to make the enclosed v- SERIES i & & 90 2 ¥ wa ae YRS ~ 3g [EI SS 8. 1998 > oo 4 194 < L R14 I'l T Foro T° shelter better protected against vandalism. The township money, coupled with $1,500 from the Chamber of Commerce and downtown BIA, will provide the $4,000 needed to buy the fencing and do the upgrading to the shel- ter, said Ice Palace rep David Goldberg. Noting that the Ice Palace is a tremendous asset for the community in attracting visitors and providing family recre- ation for local residents, council was quick to endorse the request for the $2,500 which will be re-paid to the Scugog trea- sury from profits this year or in future years. However, both Mayor Howard Hall and Ward 2 rep Ken Carruthers were critical of the level of finan- cial support given by the Chamber of Commerce and BIA who will provide $500 and $1,000 respectively.

His criticism was followed in kind by words from Carruthers. Mr. Goldberg pointed out the BIA is putting in $1,500, but $500 of that must be spent on adver- tising for the Ice Palace, leaving $1,000 to cover the capital costs for fencing. He said that Settlement House Stores will con- tribute $500 towards get- ting the Ice Palace up and running this winter. The Ice Palace is a large open air skating rink on the lake in front of the Port Perry waterfront. Car wash plan held up Scugog councillors want Ken Irvine to provide sound testing before he goes ahead with an automatic car wash at his gas bar and variety store at the intersection of Queen St. and Hwy. 7A, in west end Port Perry. By having a profes- sional sound engineer test for noise levels ahead of time, coun- cillors said Monday, the applicant will know what measures will be required to muffle the noise so there is no adverse impact on a home about 50 feet to the east. : ~ Mr. Irvine agreed to the request, but he was less than pleased. He had hoped council would give him approval for the car wash yesterday. - A public meeting into the application was held two weeks ago. Neighbors to the east raised concerns about how much noise the car wash dryers would generate. Regional councillor Marilyn Pearce noted that under the bylaw there should be 12 metres buffer between the car wash and a res- idential property. In this case, there is just $2,995 DOWNPAYMENT Month MORE POWER, MORE ROOM THAN CHEVY & DODGE! four metres between the two property lines. ---- \K 4 © oR MORE A MONTH CHOOSE FOR F-SERIES SUPERCAB XLT CHOOSE THE LEASE PAYMENT THAT'S RIGHT Hol: delVE Downpayment or F-Series XLT F-Series XLT Lease VEHICLE "98FASOXIT | CHEVY C/K1500 | DODGE RAM Ee arias uit eriet Mi by | HORSEPOWER | 205 @ 4750 RPM | 200 @ 4400 RPM_| 175 @ 4800 RPM grr re G " Donn aJean A TORQUE (Ib.ft) | 260@3000RPM | 255 @ 2800 RPM | 230 @ 3200 RPM $1,550 S359 Sars } CARGO BED SPACE 7128 69.8 703 s $439 $488 now open in the : lower level of LizyLou Decor at 233 Queen Street 50 YEARS AND STILL #1* SEE YOUR ONTARIO FORD AND MERCURY DEALERS Or visit our web site at: www.ford.ca/offers/ Mercury @) WISE BUYERS READ THE LEGAL COPY. *New 1998 F-Series XLT Regular Cab/Supercab with P.E.P. 810A with two-tone paint scheme, monthly lease payment of $299/$348 based on 24 month lease from Ford Credit to qualified retail lessees, on approved credit.
