The studies may appear monotonous, but at the same time are necessary. As a major throughway for cottagers, and a tourist town itself, Port Perry sees an incredible amount of traffic all summer, and it doesn't slow down in the winter as snowmobilers travel to the same cottages. Highway 7A is a nightmare at the best of times, from the Beer Store across the causeway.

It's good to see council thinking ahead and looking at potential problems before okaying development. Scugog does not need another intersection that leaves locals wondering how many deaths it takes to constitute a traffic light. Scugog, remember, led Durham last year in the number of fatal car accidents. It is time to correct present problems, not create more of them.

We wanted something we could start with, do some word processing and amuse our small grandchildren. We were assured that it was working; obviously we were PHOTO COURTESY SCUGOG SHORES MUSEUM VILLAGE It's 'buyer beware' at yard sales not able to have it set up, but we felt the people were honest and trustworthy. However when we got it home and connected up, it was not working. After taking it to several repair shops we were informed that it was obsolete and parts could not be obtained for it. We returned it to the people we purchased it from, leaving it with their daughter as they were away for the weekend. She having no money said her parents would call.
