Mr. Ad- derley told the Star that cutting into a hydro pole with a saw Is more than a harmless prank. The results could have been fatal. (see story) Pranksters cut half way through hydro pole and guy wire What somebody may have thought was a harmless prank could have had deadly results, Scugog Hydro manager Terry Adderley told the Star last week. He was referring to a hydro, pole in front of Port Perry High School that had been partly cut with a saw, and a guy wire to the pole that had been com- pletely severed. As it was, the severing of, the guy wire was likely the cause of a power outage in Port Perry last Wednesday night about 11:00 o'clock that left some 150 homes without power and forced the hospital to go on emergency power for an hour. f +o" years of enjoyment.

The durability of our fine quality woodstoves will exceed your expectations and your investment will be returned in The local hydro crew had to replace the severed guy wire and shore up the pole with steel re-inforcing bars. But Mr. Adderely was furi- ous about the potential danger from such vandalism. The hydro lines running to the top of the pole have 4100 volts of power in them, he said, and if that pole had toppled when students were walking by or abus was loading, the results could have been disastrous. "I don't think that whoever cut into the pole could possibly understand the potential dan- gers," he told the Star. "It could have been very se- rious." Allen's Aluminum Siding BIdg.
