8 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, September 7, 1988 Township receives Rotary pledge Most times when a delegation appears before Scugog Township council, it has some kind of com- plaint to register. Not so when Karl Herder and. Ted Blanchard attended a recent council meeting. They presented Mayor Jerry Taylor with a cheque for $10,000, the first instalment of a $12,500 contribution from Port Perry Ro- tary Club towards repairs and new equipment for the Birdseye Pool. The work on the pool was completed earlier this summer with the Township matching the pledge from the Rotary Club. ing $2500 pledge will be turned Quer to the Township later this all. Mr. Herder, also from the Ro- tary Club was the chairman of the Pool repair committee. The project included the in- stallation of new pumps, filters, piping, a deck and a new floor in the pool. The repairs meant that a lot of Township kids (and adults) had a place to cool off this long hot summer. And the new equipment is starting to pay other dividends as well. The cost of chemicals was Mr. Blanchard said the remain- over $1,000 last year. Editorial Comment (from page 6) talking about it? Do we follow through on the feasibil- study, or do we let it collect dust, like the master plan? No matter how you feel about this issue (pro or con) we suggest it is time to get it into the political arena. Ask all the candidates where they stand on recreation facilities, and ask them if they are pre- pared to push ahead with more than just talk. This may be the only way to truly guage the opinion of the people of this Township. Recreation may not be the single most important issue in this up-coming municipal election, but the time is overdue to find out where the candidates stand and what, if anything, they plan to do with this issue if they are victorious November 14. about $400, compared with well Yesterday's Memories (continued) 25 YEARS AGO Thursday, September 5, 1963 A Port Perry district girl has been named winner of a matriculation scholarship to Queen's University.
