PORT PERRY 15¢ per copy 24 Pages Volume 108 - PORT PERRY, ONTARIO. Wednesday, May. 15. 1974 - No. 29 Council discusses new arena, but disagree on procedures by Ashok Chandwani Council is currently debat- -ing various aspects of a new recreation complex that will include at least a single pad arena, if not a twin pad. The major snag is the cost and the kind of complex Council wants. Totten, Sims, Hubicki Associates Ltd., an engineer- ing firm, has already sub- recreation comples. How- Young rider will train N In England Monica Taylor, Port Perry is still interested in horses and more than ever before. In Jume last year she returned from Australia fol- lowing two years of em- ployment on a farm for thoroughbred horses near Perth. Monday night she was off to England for an instruc- tor's course sponsored by the British Horse Society. She will join the Talland School of Equitation in Cirencenter, Glostershire. Since her return from Australia last year, Monica has practiced her riding skill on a leased horse and hopes, when she returns to Canada following her course in England she will be able to join a reputable stable in this area. Ratepayers support save Town Hall The Scugog Ratepayers' Association has written to Council recommending "'that the Save the Town Hall committee be given every opportunity to pursue its object-saving the town hall." The Assoication had passed this resolution at their last meeting because they felt saving the town hall was a worthy project. ever, no discussion has taken place on the costs and most of the discussions on the plan have been in committee. Monday night Councillor Taylor moved that the firm be called in to discuss the cost of a recreation complex. Prolonged discus- sion resulted in the motion being tabled with the intent that other firms will be contacted to suggest their plans for a recreation com- plex before Council decides what it wants and how much it is willing to spend. The matter does have some urgency since the present arena is too small to acco- modate the demands on it. 'Councillor Frew refused to support Coun. Taylor's motion saying "I think the public needs to be consulted before we do anything about a new complex." Coun. Tavlor wanted to find out how much a complex will cost before the public is "consulted. "They should know what it's going to cost them before they decide. If we call in the engineers we can get them to pinpoint the exact cost." Coun. Hunter felt Council should tour around and visit other arenas, find out their costs and compare before they decide on any plan for Port Perry.

Expect record entries in Nonquon race Entries are always flow- ing in for Durham Region's only major canoe race - the sixth Canoe the Nonquon event on June 1st this year. The annual race is spon- sored by the Lake Scugog Historical Society. "We hope to get a record number of entries this year, whether permitting "says. Bill Brock, President of the Historical Society. Two new classes have been added to the existing 12 making a total of 14 cate- gories under which partici- pants can enter. The new categories are a prize for a family team which must have one member under 15 and an expert racing canoe paddling section. Unlike last year, said Mr. Brock, participants will not be allowed to portage their canoes this year. The Histor- ical Society has made arrangements for aerial sur- veillance to ensure this rule is not broken. In past years canoeists were allowed to portage their canoes at rough spots and re-enter the rivér at a fresh spot. There was no way of knowing whether some one had not put his canoe on a truck and driven a few miles before re entering. The route, which will cover 20 miles, begins at the 8th concession of the former township of Reach just east of Highway 12. north-east through Seagrave and down south into Lake Scugog to the Port Perry Waterfront. Six radio check points will keep the central checkpoint at Port Perry informed about the positions of various participants and a constant scoreboard will be main- tained. Boats from the Port Perry Yacht Club will provide a safety patrol on Lake Scu- Bog. Eighten major prizes will be awarded in the 14 differ- ent categories including sev- eral cash prizes. Bill Brock hopes good weather will not only in- crease participation this vear but help the winner break the existing record of 3 hours. 4 minutes and 57 seconds for the 20 mile course. Last year 30 of the 103 participants broke the 4 hour barrier for the course with excellent weather through- out. Entry forms are available at the Star Office, Port Perry High School and with Mrs. Joan Scott. (Phone 985-7014).
