Boat races OK'd Va (From page 1) from Labatt's. In addition to the races, there would be a series of activities in the park geared to members of the entire family, and he expressed hope that the event would attract sufficient numbers of visitors to the communi- ty to provide a substan- tial spin-off to business establishments in Port Perry and area. He said that organizers would assure the municipality that such things as security, snow fencing, clean-up and any damages would not be a liability on the Township. ' And he added that hopefully, the power boat races on Labour Day weekend in Port Perry can become an annual event, "to serve as a kind of grand finale to the summer."'

The old policy which forbid the fire depart- "ment to pump basements had been on the Township books since 1975. . The change in the policy, which was ap- proved Monday by the Township council, came about partly after a serious situation earlier this spring in which the basement of a home on Bigelow St. was hit with several feet of water, threatening both the fur- nace and electrical panel. The policy change deals with emergency cases and the depart ment will continue not pumping out basements where there is just a small amount of water. NEED PHOTO COPIES? We can do them for you!
