"It seems to me the prov- ince and the feds are doing the dance of the seven veils," Councillor Gads- den said. Mr. O'Toole assured council he would look into 'their concerns, including. the environmental apects. He said he has had lim- ited contact with the min- istries and has not re- ceived any satisfactory answers. "I will demand some sortof response," he said. Joel Aldred, chair of Save Scugog Island Com- mittee, that has long been opposed to the project, also spoke of his group's concerns. The group has docu- mented its concerns with traffic, water, the environ- ment, policing, fire protec- tion, hydro, property val- ue and the hours for which alcohol will for served.

Ac- cording to Bob Hull, of the advisory committee, regis- tration of 1,000-1,500 teams would move the set up times up a day. The event is being spon- sored nationally by Con- verse, Wilson Sports, Gat- orade, Sport Court and Sure Shot with local corpo- rate sponsors the Town- ship of Scugog, Port Perry, CKDO-1350, Country Style Donuts and the Mackie Group also spon- soring the event.

The Gus Macker tour- nament is the brainchild of Scott McNeal, of Michi- gan, who began the 3-on-3 tournament as a small fundraising event. The tournament has grown by substantial pro- portions and has attracted up to 5,000 teams to one event. Although Port Perry wants to see it on a small- er scale for the first time, tournament director Gary Curgin said the majority of the towns to host Gus Macker events are no bigger than Port Perry. Teams registering for the tournament will be Dental Care Jor the whole family placed in a class depend- ing on height, age and ex- perience. There are age groups from seven to sen- iors. The Scugog event is be- ing promoted as a region- al event to attract more at- tention to Durham Region as a whole. Players from across Canada and the United States who com- pete in various Gus Mack- er events are expected to participate. Scugog Council was wary about giving their okay for the advisory com- mittee entering into a three-year contract with Gus Macker Enterprises, but gave the go ahead ear- lier this year. Council was concerned with the $16,500 fran- chise cost to enter into the agreement, but felt the spin-off to the community as a whole would be worth it. The budget for the tour- nament projects a profit or $10,950 the first year, a number that is expected to increase in the following twoyears. Port Perry is expecting to attract between 1500- 2000 people over the weekend. Port Perry & Prince Albert UNITED CHURCHES Minister: Rev. Robert J.
