The information is con- tained in a booklet released last week by the Ministry of Natural Resources and says that both perch and pickerel taken from Lake Scugog showed no signs of mercury, PCB"s, mirex or pesticides. Talented? So, you think you're pretty talented? Well, here's your chance to hit the big time. The New Faces television program (seen on CHCH TV, Hamilton) will be producing one of their fall shows right here in Port Perry, and they are looking for local talent of just about any kind: barbershoppers, folk singers, Highland dancers, step dancers, even belly dancers, singers of all types, instrumentalists, magicians, stand-up comics, ven- triloquists and mime acts. Megamedia Corporation will do the actual filming, at a specific time and place to be announced later. Any group or individual interested in taking part in. this show can write to the Port Perry Star, Box 90, Port Perry.

While the two species from Lake Scugog got a "'clean bill of health" from the govern- ment, sports fishermen are warned that pickerel over 30 inches long taken in the Scugog River should not be eaten more than ten times in a one week period, or more than four times per week over a three-week period. The same restrictions apply to large-mouth bass between 18 and 20 inches long caught in the Scugog River. As well, women of child-bearing age and child- ren under 15 years old should NOT consume either pickerel or large mouth bass in this size range taken from the Scugog River.

The petition will be posted in all Ward 4 communities this week, and Pat Mowers, one of the organizers says they hope that all phone subscribers in Ward 4 will sign. The petition will be presen- ted at a meeting of the Scugog Township council on June 11 when a represen- tative from Bell Canada will be present to discuss the company's refusal to con- sider toll-free dialing from Cartwright to Oshawa. At present, residents of Cartwright can call toll-free to communities within Ward 4; and also to Port Perry and Bethany, but there is a long distance charge for calls to Oshawa, Bowmanville and Hampton. The petition organizing committee feels that Ward 4 residents should be able to dial toll-free to Oshawa as residents from all other wards in Scugog Township now have this service. The issue first surfaced last October when Scugog Township council asked the Bell for a study on the costs of providing this toll-free service from Cartwright to Oshawa, Bowmanville and Hampton. A letter from Bell to the council in the middle of March said it would cost $600,000 for new switching equipment, and also would raise the rates for private phones in Cartwright from : Meet Toby!

More phot Ward 4 petition for toll-free phone calls $5.55 per month to $7.15. Phone rates in Oshawa would also be raised, accor- ding to the letter from Bell. The letter said that be-- cause of the cost for new equipment, the extension of toll-free dialing cold not be considered at this time. On April 23, Ward 4 coun- cillor John Wolters raised the issue again at council saying that he had several complaints - from consti- tuents who are not happy with the Bell decision, and council agreed to request a rep from the company to attend a council meeting and discuss the situation. In the meantime, the "Committee for Improved Phone Service in Ward 4" met May 1 in Blackstock and (Turn to page 12) 0s on page 12.
