Would licence all boat operators A joint federal-provincial study on the future manage- ment of the Canada-Ontario Rideau-Trent-Severn Corri- dor (CORTS) was released last week and some of the recommendations called for could have wide-ranging af- fects on recreational activ- ities within the system. The CORTS Corridor stretches more than 400 miles from Ottawa to Geor- gian Bay following the Rideau Canal, the St. Law- rence River, the Trent Severn Canal, and it inclu- des both Lake Simcoe and Lake Scugog. The most recent study paper spells out the goals for the Corridor and the broad objectives such as a pollution free environment, the preservation of natural wildlife and open space .

The purpose of the study . paper is to put before the general public ideas, issues, and possible solutions so that the goals and objec- tives of the Corridor can be reached. The study paper makes 24 recommendations under several different headings such as boating, commer- cial development, the envir- onment, and residential shoreline development. LICENCES One of these recommen- dations calls for all persons operating boats in the CORTS Corridor to hbld a certificate of competence issued under the Canada has returned from Kissim- mee, Florida, recently spent last week with her sister, Mrs. Evelyn Lynde.

Not much news this week, folks, but the writer was given a recipe for Sunglow slices that we would like to share with you. - Into any ordinary day, sift, 1 heaping cupful of love, 1 cup of forgiveness, a generous quantity of un- selfishness and some leaven- ing of the spirit. Mix good humour, the size of an egg, with enough of the milk of human kindness to make an over flowing cup and add the above. Sift together with com- plete faith in God. Swirl in several cheery thoughts, a pinch of - wisdom, a large handful of sunglow and if desired a few healing tears. Bake in the oven of a warm heart. Sprinkle with thoughtfullness. If served in generous slices, with a song in your heart, there will be sufficient for any number of people.

In addition the paper recommends that devices for measuring boat wakes be installed on an experi- mental basis, and if feasible regulations for their use be developed and enforced. Under the general head- ing of commercial develop- ment along the Corridor, the paper recommends that the private sector be encouraged to provide recreation and tourism fac- ilities, and that govern- ments not be in direct com- petition to the facilities pro- vided by the private sector. The study paper reco- mends that private sub- division development on lands fronting the Corridor waterway should have a minimum park dedication of five per cent, and at least half of this dedication should front on the water- way. Where cash is taken instead of the five per cent dedication, the money should be applied to the purchase of waterway frontage lands in the CORTS Corridor. Official plans should guarantee that at least 25 per cent of the waterway shoreline remains as open space. The study paper also sug- gests that any government- developed facilities such as berthing and boat launching should not be made avail- able free to the public, but rather that a fee should be charged similar to fees charged by the private sec-' tor for use of similar facilities. In making the recommen- - dations the paper asks that Ontario tourist industry The Ontario Liberal party believes that the tourist industry in the province is over-regulated, over-taxed and suffers from a negative attitude towards tourists. A report by the Liberal Task Force on Tourism was released last week and made numerous recommen- dations to help give the tourist industry in Ontario a needed shot in the arm. One of the recommen- dations calls for the allo- cation of $3 million to assist individual tourist operators in their own advertising efforts. The study calls for some kind of tax credit scheme for Ontarians who decide to take their vacations within the province and suggests a partial re-imbursement of their hotel and travel costs. Another recommendation is for a $5 resident angling licence fee with the funds to be used for fish re-stocking. The ten percent provincial sales tax on meals over $6 should be reduced to 7 per cent NEED INSURANCE? One of our represen- tatives will be happy to discuss your insur- ance needs with you.

Auction in Looking for a bargain? You just might find one on Saturday, June 3 at Port Perry's Waterfront Park. The Historical Society and Town Hall, 1873, are holding an "Auction in the Park", with all proceeds going to help cover the expenses of these two local organiz- ations. Organizers of the auction say that donations are still needed in the form of furn- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, May 25, 1978 -- 21 Council wants no part of maintaining school playing field Scugog council has re- jected outright a proposal from the Durham Board of Education that the Town- ship assume responsibility for re-sodding and other maintenance at the high school playing field in Port Perry. The decision could very well mean that soccer association teams in Port Perry will not have the use of the high school field this summer. The issue. came before council Tuesday night as School Board policy was outlined in a letter which said that when school fields are used during the summer months the municipality must assume responsiblity for re-sodding every three years at a cost estimated at The Board of Education the park iture, appliances, fixtures and knick-knacks. Both the Historical Society and Town Hall, 18737° do a great deal for the local community in entertain- ment, the displaying of crafts and talent, and the preservation of local arti- facts. The bidding gets under- way at 11:00 a.m., so plan to get there early and get in on the fun and the bargains. reasoned that this sodding would be necessary early in November if the football field got regular use during the summer months and the turf would not have this time for proper recovery. Council told soccer assoc- iation representative Brian Yeo that the municipality could not justify the amount of money being spend on a school field, and would rath- er start putting funds toward the establishment of per- manent soccer field in Port Perry, probably in the area of the New Scugog Arena. Mr. Yeo said he could not fault council for its decision, and added that in his opin- ion the present condition of the field at the high school is in terrible shape, and the Board of Education was attempting to use the issue as a lever on council to get the municipality to make necessary repairs. However, he did say that an exhibition games was played on the high school field Monday night, and an- other was scheduled for Wednesday night. And he suggested that fut- ure games would go ahead until the Board of Education kicked the soccer players off. The Board has granted the soccer association use of the playing fields at R.H.
