Presentation on May 21 Ice fishing meeting planned By Marnie Luke Port Perry Star Concerned Scugog residents and fishermen can hook up with officials from Environment Canada later this month at a meeting about Lake Scugog's water levels and the effects of Myles G. O'Riordan Managing Director REAGHING OUT A few weeks ago I received a bill from my car insurance company informing me that I had to renew my policy for another year. Like most people, I'm sure, 1 don't usually pay much attention to all of the items listed on the Certificate of Automobile Insurance. That could be a mistake. With No-Fault Insurance in effect in Ontario now, everyone, whether driver or passenger, is entitled to $3,000. towards Funeral Expenses if they are killed in an automobile accident. If an extra $5 to $10 premium is paid when your car insurance is paid the Funeral Expenses benefit goes up to $7,500. and the Death Benefit goes up from $25,000. to $50,000. for the head of the household or their spouse. The Funeral Expense Benefit was set up in such a way that only Funeral costs up to $7,500. will be paid by the insurance company. Expenses over this figurc would be up to the individual family to look after. Conversely money that was not used in the $7,500. amount will not be refunded to the deceased estate. As responsible adults we should drive carefully and make provisions to take care of our loved ones should something unforeseen happen to us. Take a few minutes and talk to your insurance broker and company and make sure you are adequately covered.

A recent angler survey re- vealed that the number of ice fishers on Lake Scugog has al- most doubled over the past four years. With more than 800 ice huts on the lake at times over this past winter, an environmental concern arose with regard to some fishermen burning their huts or leaving them to fall through the ice. At the request of Ward 3 Councillor Ken Gadsden, offi- cials from The Ministry of Natu- ral Resources and the Trent Severn Waterway will be mak- ing presentations at the Scugog Council Chambers on May 21. "For the most part, the ice Buy six Oktoberfest & receive 1/2 dozen fishers don't cause any prob- lems. But it's the few bad ap- ples who spoil it for the bunch," Councillor Gadsden said. Recently, some local fisher- men formed the Scugog Anglers Association, and plan to work with The Ministry of Natural Resources in an attempt to clean up the lake and improve fishing conditions. Councillor Gadsden said he hopes both fishermen and con- cerned residents will turn out for the meeting, which is sched- uled to begin at 7:30 p.m.. Following the presentations will be a question and answer period, and a discussion about what course of action will be taken in pursuing the issue. buns FREE!

The two township's councils met in Uxbridge last week to discuss a number of joint issues. Under the terms of an earlier agreement, the Uxbridge Fire Department covers a portion of Scugog, bordering Uxbridge. It recelves a payment of approxi- mately $8,000 from Scugog plus otherrelated costs. Uxbridge is seeking to in- crease the figure for the service. Although no numbers were mentioned during the meeting, it was noted that under similar agreements with Stouffville and East Gwillimbury the amount is approximately $21,000 to $25,000. Last year Scugog paid a total of $20,000 for Uxbridge's services which included vehicle costs and man- power. Scugog Mayor Howard Hall said no agreement was reached on the issue and further talks would be needed to resolve the issue. "No doubt we're going to have to do something about it." Mayor Hall says the fee in- crease was not planned onin the 1992 budget, but acknowledges some sort of agreement will be reached. "We've always had a good re- lationship with Uxbridge and I'm sure we can resolve this as we have otherissues," hesaid. A number of other issues were also discussed during the meet- PRICED RIGHT No. 1 Side S4 ks! lb. Bacon Black $399 Forest Ham Ib. ing including the Handi-Transit service and the Animal Control Centre. The two sides agreed to look into the purchase of a new vehi- cle for the Animal Control unit, as the present vehicle has fallen into disrepair. The joint cost will be approximately $18,000, with both sides sharing the cost evenly. They also agreed to partially fund the cost of a new Handi- Transit vehicle. The current ve- hicle has extremely high mile- ageonit. The cost of a new vehicle would be approximately $65,000. Itis hoped that the pro- vincial government would pay half of the cost, while the two municipalities would pay the re- mainder.
