Please see story for more details. Waterfront dock to be repaired Fear over possible inju- ries has prompted Scugog Council to spend $35,000 to repair the crumbling ce- ment slabs at the lake- front. A series of broken con- crete slabs directly in front of the Latcham Cen- tre will be removed in Jan- urary and replaced with a pressure-treated wooden dock. The slabs have shifted and pose a serious safety threat to the public and the township would be li- able for any injuries. The township did seek a grant for the repairs, but was turned down. The cost of the project will be split between the parkland reserve fund and the municipal pro- jects reserve fund.

Whitby (905) 668-6606 1-800-461-1821 Local horse and rider win Mexico competition By Kelly Lown Port Perry Star Ian Roberts and his horse Zappa of Port Perry won a three-day interna- tional event in Queretaro, Mexico on December 16. Mr. Roberts and Zappa, who were one of three Ca- nadian teams at the event finished first in a field of 44 competitors. Second place was also claimed by a Canadian -- Stuart Young-Black. Mr. Roberts was pre- sented with a $6,000 sculpture for his victory. Canadians dominated the competition, which in- cluded dressage, cross country and stadium jumping. The two-star competition was for three- day eventriders. Mr. Roberts, along with his wife Kelly Plitz, a member of the 1984 Cana- dian Olympic eventing team, operate the local Dreamcrest Stables, which is co-owned by Kel- ly's parents Doug and Car- ol Plitz. Although the Mexico event was not an Olympic qualifer, Mr. Roberts and Zappa, a 10-year-old bay thoroughbred gelding, are hopefuls for a berth on the Canadian eventing team which will compete at the 1996 gamesin Atlanta. Mr. Roberts is also nom- inated for the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture sports awards as Male Athlete of the Year and Coach of the Year. This win adds another comeback victory for the local duo after serious in- juries almost ended Zap- pa's career. After a long recovery Zappa came back and won both the Glen Orohorse trials and the Checkmate Farm two-star events this pastspring. Beginning in March the team will begin preparing for the Olympic trials. They will compete in events in Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia in March and in Kentucky in April. 3 Any Style.
