| 2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, August 6, 1986 Moth larvae fight weeds (From page 1) have something to do with the reduction of milfoil, not only in Lake . Scugog, but in other Kawartha chain lakes. In an interview with the Star last week, he cautioned that the evidence so far is "circumstantial," but in observations of milfoil pat- ches in Lake Scugog and others where the larvae of the moth were seen, the weed has virtually stopped growing. Mr. Painter explained that the moth lays eggs on the tips of the milfoil below the surface of the water and the larvae (about half an inch in length) actually bore into the stem and leaves of the weed. He referred to this as '"'insect + grazing." He cited one area at the north end of Lake Scugog well away from any spraying where milfoil was very thick last summer. This year the patch has all but disap- peared and the moth larvae are pre- sent on the weeds. "It is difficult at this time to at- tribute this (weed reduction) strict- ly to the insect," he stated. But the circumstantial evidence is there. Mr. Painter said he plans to con- duct experiments in August to see Male suspect sought Durham Region Police are look- ing for a male suspect in connection with the theft of a 1984 Pontiac on Durham Road 23 Monday afternoon. A police spokesman said the driver of the car stopped to pick up a hitch-hiker, who then pulled a knife and forced the driver to the shoulder of the road. The hitch-hiker then took off in the 300ult Spray. 60ml roll-on, SAVE "502 ON Secret Mos coupon is worth 50° off the retail price of one SECRE mL Roll-on or 60 g Solid purchased at Bruton's IDA.

The incident took place near the Dagmar Ski resort on Durham Road 23. The owner of the car, an Orono man, was not injured. The car is described as a 1985 brown Pontiac 6000 LE. Police say the hitch-hiker is about 165 pounds with whether a change in sediment nutrient levels is having an affect on the number and health of milfoil plants. And 'because there is very little hard scientific data available on the effects the moths may be having, he plans to set up an experiment next summer in the lake which should prove the theory one way or another. He plans to find a patch of milfoil where the larvae are present, then spray part of it with insecticide to kill the larvae. By measuring the weed growth of the sprayed area with that where the larvae are liv- ing, he hopes to be able to determine if the larvae are indeed killing the milfoil. From what he has observed so far, the larvae-infested weeds are small and look very unhealthy, although the roots remain intact. Whatever the outcome of the ex- periments, boaters on Lake Scugog may just be able to thank a tiny white moth for clearing up the waters this summer and making boating on Lake Scugog more of a pleasure than it's been in the last four years.

Strikes cause | delay in school construction An anticipated 250 students from junior kindergarten to grade eight should be able to move into their new school at Immaculate Concep- tion when classes resume this September, but they will have to wait a while before they will be able to take advantage of the school's library and gymnasium. Durham Separate School Board superintendent, Ron Ste. Marie stated strikes by various tradespeo- ple earlier during the summer were responsible for the work not being completed in t.me. He anticipates the library and gym should be ready for occupancy by the beginning of October. Ste. Marie said the children would be taking their physical education classes out of doors for the first month of school, adding that the primary function of the board was to see that classroom space was pro- vided for the youngsters. Teachers will be keeping library books in their individual classrooms as they did while they occupied DURHAM SHADE & VERTICALS space at the old Raglan School, a facility which was temporarily leas- ed from the Durham Board of Education while construction of the new Immaculate Conception School was underway. Both the library and gymnasium should be finished in time for the of- ficial opening of the school on Oc- tober 26.- Bishop Robert Clune, former teachers, principals and students, as well local dignitaries and officials of the Separate School Board have been extended invita- tions to the opening. The ceremonies will commence at 2 p.m. with a mass followed by tours of the new facility. There will also be entertainment and refreshments served beginning at 3 p.m. Scugog got its first Catholic Szhool in 1981 when portable classrooms were brought to the site of Im- maculate Conception Church. Prior to this, Catholic students were bus- ed to St. Leo's Catholic School in Brooklin, or else attended the public school system. 62': Look at these Savings!! Stock Verticals 75" x 84" ...
