8 THE NEW TANNER THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1998 'Classics Against Cancer' Wondering what to do for good old Dad on Father's Day? Suggestion! Take him to the 'Classics Against Can- cer' car show at Cedarvale Park in Georgetown this Sun- day, June 21. The show is in its 11th year of operation and has some unusual cars from Acton among the hundreds of classic cars on display, among them Ron Holloway's antique fire truck. The show features a vari- ety of vehicles, all of which are at least 20 years old. But it is more than just a display of old cars, there is a pancake breakfast in the morning, judging of the cars in the af- ternoon, remote control car races, live entertainment and a election of food vendors to make the dad full from start to finish. Early in the spring of 1988, Neil Young had an idea... to have the best an- tique and classic auto exhi- bition. Among the first year's cars were two Ferrari Daytonas. But perhaps one of the most unique features of this show, is that all the money raised goes to support the Canadian Cancer Society and the search for a cure.

That would have saved the Town $100,000 this year, but it would also have also exposed the Town to the insurance risks of the other members, including Brampton, York Region, Newmarket and Stony Creek. Acton Councillor Rick Bonnette, who had asked for a deferral on the issue until they got more information, said that their lawyer's report was basically neutral. "There are only eight members of the reciprocal and one of them has a transit system and another a police force which could expose us to increased risk," Bonnette explained recently. "It looked like the risk was going to be Saad than the savings so, 'or now, it's not in the tax- payers' best interest to drop our current coverage and change to a reciprocal." ile the lawyer's report to council is confidential, Treasurer Andy Koopmans said it wasn't the main rea- son councillors decided to remain with conventional insurance coverage this year. "Tt's more of a case of how new the reciprocals are, and that councillors don't feel comfortable with them," Koopmans said on Friday. Koopmans said that the five-year total of premiums paid by the town is $505,997, almost equal to the net claims incurred during that same period, figures Koopmans described as, "fairly standard and not abnormal."
