McClelland Port Perry Star Scugog Township councillors are sticking rigidly to their policy of keeping heavy vehicles out of Palmer Park, including the rides and amusements that are part of Festival Days every summer. The parks and recre- ation committee Monday morning rejected another request by Robertson Amusements to set up their Festival Days rides in the park, but it took a tie-breaking vote by com- mittee chair Ken Carruthers to keep the policy intact. Councillors Gary Mahony, Keith Bacon and Dave Dietlein all voted in favour of allow- ing the rides to set up in the park, while Mayor Doug Moffatt, Regional Councillor Ken Gadsden and Ward 3 rep Jim McMillen were opposed.

FRAMER'S GALLERY 237 Queen St., Port Perry 985-2543 This is the first of what I intend will be a series of articles on Real Estate Law. In keeping with my experience I am going to write about some of the almost limitless issues that can arise in buying, selling or mortgaging a property. In deciding to write this column I have realized that for both people who are thinking about buying for the first time and for people who are old hands at buy- ing and selling, there are many common- ly encountered issues that are not well understood. I also want to devote some of my column space to writing about the new kid on the block, Title Insurance. Title Insurance is new in the Province of Ontario and its widespread use is only just beginning. Few readers whether potential first time buyers or previous owners will be famil- iar with the advantages of Title Insurance. 226 Queen Street, Port Perry, Ont. LYLE 1BY © Other players such as mortgage officers and real estate agents are having more and more reason to mention Title Insurance to consumers. Even with Title Insurance as the answer to so many issues arising in buying, mort- gaging and selling real estate, many com- mon trouble areas remain. I intend to write about both Title Insurance as a problem solver as well as other areas where a knowledgeable con- sumer can avoid or prepare for common problems. My columns will attempt to create peace of mind about what for most of us, is the largest financial transaction we will ever make. I hope to make this column informative and worth reading, and I invite and will appreciate any feedback my readers wish to forward to me.

Council set the policy disallowing heavy vehi- cles to prevent damage to the grass in Palmer Park. Chris Robertson of the amusement company told the committee on Monday he is so confi- dent his crews can put the rides in the park without causing any per- manent damage, he was prepared to post a bond of up to $10,000 to cover any repairs should they be necessary. But along with the potential for causing damage, councillors were opposed to the rides in the park because the equipment would effec- tively tie up the park for about a week. The company arrives to set up for Festival Days on the Monday prior to the event, and stays until the Monday following. Councillor Mahony said he can recall a time when the park was used for amusement rides. "That park was for the use of the people of this community," he said. Robertson Amusements is "ready to put up money and will restore any damage. Let's keep the rides there -- not force them out to the fairgrounds," he urged committee mem- bers. Mayor Moffatt sug- gested that Festival Days should he consider- ing a complete move to the fairgrounds, rather than locating in the downtown as it has for nearly 30 years. Councillor Dietlein said he was ready to let the Chamber of Commerce decide the best location for the amusement rides. "They are responsible people. Let them set up in the park, at least for a year on a trial basis," he said.
