According to a works depart- ment report, a zebra mussel control system for the region's water supply plants is being prepared. Aquatic Science Inc. hasbeen hired by Durham to do external. underwater video inspections of the seven intake crib struc- tures on Lake Ontario, the re- port states. The firm has also been re- quested to do an internal and external inspection of the old intake pipe at the Whitby water supply plant. "Aquatic Science Inc. have the resources to carry out the required underwater work as well as marine biologists who have expertise in dealing with zebra mussels," it says. The cost, $16,550, will be charged to the region's extraordinary mainte- nance budget for plant opera- tions. The region has also retained Simcoe Bigijesring Itsjob will be to establish the cost of a per- manent zebra mussel control system for the Whitby intake pipe. Although the report states that the tiny mollusks have not been detected yet, an infesta- tion to Whitby's raw water sys- estimated at - tem could hamper numerous industries in that municipality. The cost of the permanent control system would be the re- sponsibility of the industries in- volved. In infested areas, the zebra mussel is causing millions of dollars worth of damage to hy- dro generating plants, munici- pal water-treatment plants, and the fishing and tourism in- dusties. Locally, officials are con- cerned about the mollusks in- festing Lake Scugog. Zebra mussels can be transported from an infested lake to clean waterbodies on the hulls of boats.

Oshawa Folk Arts Council 725-1624 985-8507 MOBILE SERVICE GUARANTEED WORKMANSHIP ~~ CWY return to Scugog Township Fourteen young Canadian and Thailand adults will spend three months in Scugog Town- ship as a cultural exchange be- tween the two countries. The exchange is organized by Canada "World Youth. Last year, participants from Canada and Ecuador stayed in the township as part of the same program. This year, the Canadian con- tingent will be led by Denise Byrnes, a 28-year-old Toron- tonian. She has just arrived in Port Perry and is busily learning the area and trying to drum up host families for all the participants. For this exchange, the ideal hosts would be farming fami- lies residing in the Blackstock, Nestleton and Scugog Island area, but Denise is quick to add that any family in Scugog Township would be considered. The family would host two participants -- one from Cana- da and one from Thailand. In return, the hosts receive $110 a week for room and board from CWY. The young adults would spend considerable time with the families -- working on the farm and other social activities -- but they also attend commu- nity functions with the rest of the group a couple of.times a week. Often, host families and their guests develop a strong friend- ship that lasts long after the ex- change is over, Miss Byrnes said. Some hosts are so in- trigued about their guests' com- munity that they will travel there. "Later on people in the host community have taken trips to the exchange community." The exchange is meant to be a learning experience in many ways, Miss Byrnes said. Although many of the Thai participants will be coming # : 9 fo ; DENISE BYRNES from small agricultural villag- es, many of the Canadians will have no agricultural experi- ence. The exchange also allows the young adults to see how differ- ent cultures exist. It is experiencing the other cultures that appeals so much to Miss Byrnes. Although she has neverbeenin Thailand, she told the Star that she has trav- elled extensively in India, Ne- pal and Egypt. When asked if it was unusual for one community to host a CWY exchange two years in a row, Mrs. Byrnes replied no. Often, she said, communities that have shown great co- operation and have been very receptive to the group, are picked to host a CWY exchange the following year. The participants will arrive in Scugog on August 1 and stay until the beginning of Novem- ber. Then they will fly to Thai- land for a three month stay in the southeast Asia country. Anyone wishing to become a host family or who has other in- quiries, may reach Miss Byrnes at 985-3377 or leave a message at 985-8461.
