I felt the above two discrepancies should be pointed out to the public, as it would be very disturbing for the client, and difficult for the In- surance Broker after a loss, to ex- plain to the client who may be misin- formed by the said article, that his loss was not a peril insured against on the policy.

Last month, the council heard a strong presentation from Richard Carnegie (co-owner of Homestead Furniture Store) who expressed adamentopposition to blanket Sun- day openings in this community. At that meeting, he told coun- cillors that Sunday openings could create problems for store employees who want to spend time with family and friends, could great- ly increase traffic on downtown streets on Sundays and cause other problems for the local business community. Several ..embers of the council appeared to agree with the arguments presented by Mr. Carnegie at the meeting last month. The resolution not to support the bid for Sunday openings was carried Monday afternoon without debate or discussion. Mr. Hvidsten said the Chamber of Commerce will not make any effort to push the matter further at the Regional council level. Chatterbox by Cathy Robb (From page 4) It's also a real competition see- ing how many signatures you can fit on one cast. In high school, you could always tell the popular ones by the number of cheerleaders' and/or football stars' autographs on their cast. What I'd like to do is break a non-essential part of my body (like my mouth) and have it wrapped up, with as little accom- panying pain as possible. Maybe I could fall off my sister's horse or something. Come to think of it, though, I think I'll wait before doing anything rash. At least until the doctors are back to work. I'd hate to have to carry around a broken arm for a few weeks ~ while the government and the medical profession mend their -own broken appendages. - the Rainbow footbridge over the Scugog River should be raised so that larger boats can get into Lake Scugog - a public information program on the lake should be developed and implemented The major recommendation from the report, however, says that an on- going organization should be form- ed with an annual budget of some $62,000 with paid staff for eight months of the year. The main func- tion of this organjzation would be to co-ordinate the chemical spraying program of some 200 acres of the lake (the total area of Scugog is 16,000 acres). The report suggests that this organization could be self-funding by charging a fee for spraying areas of the lake, and also by collecting launch fees of $1 from boaters; a further $1 for every boat rental on a daily basis; and by charging boaters $12 annually for docking their boats at the marinas around the lake. The council took no action on the Task Force recommendations, but further Task Force meetings are scheduled for this year. The Task Force study looked at several weed control suggestions and ruled out many of them as be- ing too expensive, impossible to im- plement, or too damaging to the lake environmentally. : For example, to spray all 16,000 acres would cost $4.5 million and have serious harmful effects on the lake. Widespread commercial harvesting of weeds was also ruled out as too costly and potentially disastrous to fish and other acquatic life. Widespread dredging was also ruled too costly except in specific areas around public swimming or launching sites. The idea of almost draining the lake to let the weeds dry out and die was ruled impossible because of the far-reaching economic conse- quences and effect on fish populations. The report suggests that Mother Nature may play a role in the weed problem that has plagued Lake Scugog for the past several sum- mers. Eurasian milfoil, the most prominent of the five species of ac- quatic weed found in the lake, ap- pears to have a cycle of six to eight years. "There is some evidence from the trends in Buckhorn and Chemong Lakes that milfoil may be self. limiting," said the report.

Viewpoint They did just that the next day and he was back home the day after that showing off his wrist-to-shoulder cast to anyone who happened by. He also came down with the chicken pox while in the hospital in Toronto. So that was it for the month of May. Hammy ex- pires, my kid breaks his arm, I collapse and damn near crack my skull open (if you're going to faint, at least do it in the emergency room at the hospital) and we've got two kids at home with chicken pox. That's enough *'good luck' for one month isn't it? Not quite I was proud owner of half a ticket on a Stanley Cup hockey pool. In the final game between Montreal and Calgary, I found myself holding the winning number until Calgary scored with 46 seconds to play. Good-bye $600 which I would have had to split with Dennis. Oh, well, better to lose just $300 in the dying seconds, than Thank God, as I write these words, May has but three days to run. Now you know why I love this month. CRIME || The Durham Crime Stoppers is asking for public assistance in solving two separate crimes which occurred late in May in the north part of Durham Region. The first took place some time during the night of May 22, from 11:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. in which three buildings in Port Perry were defaced with crude and vulgar expressions painted in large black letters. The buildings hit by the spray-painting vandals were the side of the Sears Order Office on Queen Street; the Liquor Control Store on Perry Street, and a private residence on John Street, just south of Queen Street. The second crime for which public assistance is being sought in- volved the theft of cattle from a barn in Brock Township between 10:30 and 11:00 p.m., the night of May 24. A total of 16 head of cattle, including Holstein bulls, Herefords and steers valued at about $11,000 were stolen from the barn located on the north side of Concession Five, east of Highway 12 in Brock Township. A large truck was backed up to a loading ramp at the barn. A truck with numerous rear lights was seen leaving the general area at about the time when the thefts occurred. If anyone can help police with any information about these two incidents, they should call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-387-8477 Toll Free. Persons are not required to leave their name, or will they be ask- ed to testify in court. - Crime Stoppers will pay cash rewards of up to $1,000 for persons who assist police with information that leads to arrest and convictions. : STOPPERS (ountry lassics Spring | into Summer ...
