whitchurch- stouffville hamlet of musselmans lake has man aged to tick off at least 95 per cent of the village over the past two years neighbours gathered and after much soul searching appealed to council for help the camp owner was told to take a rusty army truck off the road dispose of an ugly house boat put an end to the rowdy parties stop violating every water rule known to humanity and clean up the junk including the many boats in a state of disrepair the owner has indicated he wants to be a good citizen and has agreed to comply with the laws he wont how ever budge on the house boat and the jurys still out on the army truck since the ugly house boat is on the lake nobody knows who has juris diction as we all know ugly boats live forever im not too worried about them but i smell
