2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, March 5, 1991 Open air rink planned again for next year While admitting the weather man dealt them more than one blow this winter, mem- bers of the open air skating rink committee are not discouraged. In fact, committee chair- man Lang Cope told the Star last week plans are already be- ing made for a rink next winter. "No, not at all. We are not discouraged," said Mr. Cope. But he added the weather was not a help this winter, espe- cially the ten-day mild snap in February that wiped out skat- Ing on two successive week- ends. Still, he said the Port Perry Open Air Ice Palace on Lake Scugog is being considered a Scout flags recovered From Page 1 Mrs. Collins said four flags were recovered after they were spotted in a ditch last Tuesday afternoon by two young men on four wheel ATVs. They were about a mile off the main road at the south end of the Cartwright West Quarter ine. The flags were not dam- aged.

While expressing her de- light that the flags have been re- covered, Mrs. Collins said she is still furious that the incident took placein the first place. "We (the Scouts) never ex- pected something like this in Port Perry," she said. #54 Vintage Cabinetry . . .

From the day the facility opened on January 12 to last week, about 10,000 people took the opportunity to go for a skate. And not only did they come from towns and cities in Onta- rio, there were visitors from sev- eral foreign countries including Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, the Dominican Repub- licand the United States. "This was just a great idea, probally one of the best winter ideas to make use of our lake- front and lake. Great for busi- ness in the downtown. Talking to the public, they very much appreciated the efforts that were put into this," commented Scugog Mayor Howard Hall. "I heard few complaints about the $1.50 charge. Most people realized that the charge was necessary to pay for the costs," he said. And he noted that this pro- Ject did not cost the taxpayers any money. The Mayor said the project has generated a great deal of positive publicity for the com- munity. A lot of organizations such as Beavers, Scouts, Guides, Church groups and high school students used the rink in groups. And Mr. Cope noted that many local stores noticed an in- crease in business on week- ends, most likely as a result of visitors the skating rink. That was one of the main reasons why the committee started this project back in De- cember: to attract visitors to the community and hopefully spur retail sales. A lot of the work in prepar- ing the rink and keeping it go- ing was carried out by people from volunteer organizations. In fact, volunteers contrib- uted 923 hours of their time.

Commenting about next year's plans, he said one crucial factor is to make sure people know there is skating during the week and in the evening. He said the committee will make sure the skating areas are well-lighted next year for night skating. . There will be a meeting on March 20 at the Kinsmen Hall, 7:30. Any interested organiza- tions or individuals are invited to attend. In the meantime, if the weather turns cold, you can still enjoy a turn or two around the largest open air skating rink in this part of Ontario. Launch ramp will have Scugog boaters cheering Getting your boat in or out of the water at Port Perry is go- ing to be a lot easier and faster this summer. The old concrete boat launch ramp just north of Birds- eye Park was torn out last week and replaced with a double ramp made from concrete slabs. And the land in front of the ramps has been levelled off which should make it a lot easi- er for vehicles to pull boats out of the water. Parks committee chairman Al Goreski said the concrete slabs for the new ramp were provided by Brooklin Concrete, while the Township paid for the equipment used to set them in ~ place and grade the approach to the ramps. And he said there is space between the double launching ramps for a 40-foot wooden dock. That will be constructed this year, ifit clears budget hur- dles. But the ramps are now in place and will be welcome news for boaters this spring. Man, 20, hurt in accident A single vehicle accident ear- ly Saturday morning sent a 20- year-old Port Perry man to hos- pital with serious injuries. According to Durham Re- gional Police, Terry Bache, of Scugog Island, lost control of his vehicle on Concession 9, Scugog Island at approximate- ly 2:00 a.m. After the car left the road, it struck a tree stump, and flipped over. Mr. Bache was taken by am- bulance to Port Perry Commu- nity Memorial Hospital, and later transferred to hospital in Toronto.
