But Scugog Mayor Howard Hall said he's not concerned in the least that the Township is getting no infrastructure funds at this time. "The grants free up Regional money that will be spent next year in the Township," he said after federal and provincial politicians joined Regional Chairman Gary Herrema last Friday morning to announce the Mayor Hall was referring specifically to the expansion of the sewage treatment lagoon system in Port Perry expected expected to cost about $4 million. Regional chairman Herrema confirmed that funds for the treatment facility expansion are in the Durham capital budget for 1995. Some of the major projects announced last week by Herrema, federal cabinet minister Art Eggleton, provincial municipal affairs minister Ed Phillip, and area MPs and MPPs include $6.3 million to expand the Durham Police HQ in downtown Oshawa, $7.7 million for trunk sewers in Ajax; $5.7 million for watermain improvements in Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington; $1.1 Uxbridge, and another $650,000 for several projects in Uxbridge.

They include: --delay call back of selected staff from April 1to May 1 --reduction of long hours during the main navigation season of two hours per day to ten hours (June to mid-August) and one hour per day to ten hours (mid-Aug. to Labour Day) --reduction of current extended hours on weekends in May, June, September and October to eight hours per day. Lewis said the proposed reduction of hours of operation for the navigation season will result in the loss of 177 hours of navigation and result in savings of $247,400. The Waterway had a three per: cent budget reduction of $295,000 this year and will have a similar amount chopped from its budget next year, he said. Along with reductions in service the Waterway is exploring ways of generating extra revenue by charging user fees for such things as parking, boat launching, mooring permits, and various fees for use of property. There have already been two public meetings (Trenton and Bobcaygeon) to explain the proposed changes to boaters and others who use the system in the summer months. A third meeting is slated for the Canadian Legion this Thursday night in Orillia. The Waterway invited public comment in writing to P.O. Box 567, Peterborough, Ont. K8J 626. Region are expected to generate 512 jobs. Walks away unscathed Police and emergency crews were shaking their heads in amazement Friday evening after a 23 year old Uxbridge woman escaped injury when the light truck she was driving was flattened by a gravel truck. "She was very fortunate to get out of this accident alive," said Durham Sgt. George Scott. In fact when Police arrived on the scene of the accident just before 9:00 PM on Durham Road 23 near Concession 14 they BrLAcKksTOCK FAIR THIS SATURD called for an air ambulance helicopter. Firefighters from the Uxbridge Department worked over an hour to free Marilyn Stoteler from the Chev 810. She was taken to Uxbridge Hospital and released that evening. The incident began when a tandem gravel truck driven by Robert Graham of Kirkfield pulled out to pass at the same time Stoteler pulled out to pass. The gravel truck struck the AUGUST smaller vehicle from behind pushing it off the road where it rolled over a couple of times and then got wedged sideways under the front bumper of the large truck before both vehicles came to a halt in a field. Sgt. Scott said the small truck had been pancaked down to only about three feet high. Emergency crews feared the woman would be either dead or severely injured. The accident remains under investigation.
