In a matter brought before members of Scugog Council on Monday, Terry Adderley informed municipal officials that the installation of a street light by the southeast corner of Island Rd. and the Mississauga Trail would come with a price tag of about $2,000. In his letter to council, the Scugog Hydro rep noted that after meeting with Gary Edgar, public relations manager with the Great Blue Heron Casino, a survey indicated, "that the location of a street light to address his concerns would place it on the Township ROW (Right Of Way) portion of the Mississauga Trail." Mr. Adderley noted that "the charge to supply and install the pole, anchor, street light and extra conductor... needed to energize it would amount of approximately $2,000." WELLS SHOWING NO NEGATIVE IMPACTS | Local politicians were informed yesterday that existing wells in the St. Christopher's Beach area just east of Port Perry have not been affected so far by the creation of a new subdivision there. Councillors were presented on Monday with a progress report from Gibson Associates Limited, who were hired by the Toronto United Church Council to monitor existing wells during the cre- ation of the St. Christopher's Shore subdivision as part of an agreement with the Township of Scugog. Ten wells within 600 metres of the proposed subdivision were selected in July during a door-to- door survey. The well monitoring program began on July 17, and checks are carried out on a bi-week- ly basis; to date, 11 tests have been held. Despite a dry summer and a few perturbations due to homeowners watering their lawns or doing laundry, the report submitted by Gibson Associates stated that "the well monitoring data indicate that no apparent adverse impact can be detected at any of the off-site private wells as a result of the installation and testing of six new on- site wells." The 10 wells will be monitored for at least one year. COUNCIL PRAYER DECISION A Prince Albert man is questioning Scugog's decision not to partake in any opening exercises during council meetings. Local politicians recently voted against holding an opening prayer or any other type of ceremony prior to starting their meetings. Ward | Councillor Larry Corrigan was the lone supporter of such an exercise. In his letter to council, John Walhout asked local politicians if not having any opening ceremonies feels, "somewhat like starting a meal without ask- ing for a blessing?" He added that, "other levels of government have preserved the practice by finding a prayer which is acceptable to all faiths. Starting the official day of government business with prayer is a common practice at many levels | discovered that the House of Commons and the Ontario Legislature both start their day with a prayer The text of both prayers include petitions for God's blessing and wisdom for the members. Ontario adds the full text of the Lord's Prayer. If our MPs and MPPs start each day with a prayer, why can't town council do the same?" MY TV Officials 'with the television broadcaster CTV submitted a letter to Scugog Council recently, ask- ing for the municipality's support in their venture. In a letter dated Oct 24, CTV has asked that local politicians support its plans for My TV, which the broadcaster describes as a "unique new televi- sion service." CTV states that it, "recognizes that, while the Toronto area as a whole is already well served, the area that surrounds Toronto, including the regional municipalities of Halton, Peel, York and Durham, is not." The letter continues to state that approxi- mately 2.5 million people live in this area, but that those residents do not have their own dedicated broadcast service. Nl om Sl ih
