6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Aug. 11, 1976 Seagrave and area news. by Mrs. Betty Somerville Many of our local residents took in the festivities of Western Weekend in Port Perry that was its usual succ .ss and would have been an exceptional success had the weatherman co-operated on Sunday.

In my usual travels around Seagrave, I notice we have a couple of new cooling off spots, one in the Ed Wilson's backyard (former Hunter farm) and the other in the Branton's backyard. The Branton pool is accessible by both roads but unfortunately Frank and Bonnie are taking the usual precautions and building a fence. Hope we get some nice weather folks So you can squeeze in a bit of enjoyment this summer.

Graham questioned a master plan .for extending services to all areas in the Region by Durham police. Although generally pleased by the timetable, he quest- ioned the plan's division of water patrol duties between the two forces. Other than the commis- sioner's query, however, the Durham Region police mast- er plan for extending service to the four corners of the region by 1982 has largely gone unnoticed since its re- lease less than a month ago. The subject arose at the monthly meeting of the police commission when commissioner Alan Dewar said his fellow members of regional council have had "no complaints" since learn- ing of the blueprints. He said a number of 'the more vociferous' councill- ors were initially surprised by the 'supposedly secret" plan's existence but have THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT The directors of the Scugog Chamber of Commerce would like to take this opportunity to Thank everyone who made their recent Western Weekend such a success.

Commissioner Graham CORTS to hold public meeting A public meeting will be held by the Canada-Ontario- Rideau-Trent-Severn (CORTS) Advisory Commit- tee at Bobcaygeon in the Community Centre auditor- ium on Thursday, August 19, 1976 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This is a continuation of the. public meetings to be held this year along the waterway from Ottawa to Port Severn. The purpose for these meetings is to continue dialogue with con- cerned persons and organiz- ations on local and Corridor-- wide problems and concerns. The CORTS Advisory Committee is interested in comments on the Corridor and particularly relative to this part of the waterway, or on such topics as trailer, cottage and housing develop- ment along the water and boat speed-wake problems. You are cordially invited to attend or send representa- tives and to present briefs or make any verbal comments, as you wish. eo Wallpaper e Panelling eo Carpet e Floor Coverings -- =~ ® PLUMBING eo ELECTRICAL o CARPENTRY states in his letter the OPP is unable to commit itself to this due to "budgetary con- straints as it is quite likely additional marine equip- ment will be required." The six-year expansion details a year-by-year growth of the regional police's patrol territory, as- suming duties presently being filled by OPP detach- ments at Whitby, Newcastle and Brechin. The provincial force, cur- rently beset by spending cut- backs, has expressed an in- ability to continue in the role of an overall policing body for regional lands.
