SP LW Tag Ae nt TRONS ey WATE Flo PARI TR DRIES Ratepayers meeting to discuss plans for lakefront, library by Liz Perry The Executive of the Scugog Ratepayers' Asso- ciation wishes to. announce its opposition to continual tax increases, especially when the Township's finan- -ces are supposedly quite healthy. There has been a 50 per cent increase in revenue since 1976. Can Council justify this rapid increase? What portion of this is attri- buted to General Municipal purposes? We are endeavor- ing to enlist the aid of quali- - fied personnel, and hope to have some answers for our next General Meeting. Also on the agenda for the next General Meeting, will be a report concerning the Lakefront Development and the proposed new Library. Are you interested in know- ing why and how Council chose to purchase the Lake- front property from Mr. Ted Jackson? Area councillor, Jerry Jackman, who is a member of the finance committee, will be present to explain such, and time will be allotted to allow questions from the floor. Why is the original decision to build an extension to the Scugog Public Library no longer feasible? Guest speakers will be Chuck Preston, president of the Library Board; Nelson Patterson, finance chairman; and Jane Litt, Library Board member, Because there was no response from the public regarding Equalized Assess- ment, the Executive has decided to shelve plans to hold an information meeting. A motion was passed that we hold a spike-driving contest, and sell apropos T shirts, as our part in the Western Weekend activities (August 9-12). Members are needed to man the booth. Please call Nancy Williams 985-2771, if you can offer your time for even an hour. Cliff Redman read a report on behalf of the Nonquon Committee regarding the Nonquon River Water Pollu- tion Control Plant. On May 7th, the Works Department under the supervision of Plant Operations Manager AF. Leitch, began treating Cell 1 with a relatively new chemical, liquid alum, which is used to neutralize phos- phates. By May 15th, test results showed that the effluent was ready to be discharged. This will take a period of approximately three weeks. Cells 2 and 3 will be treated similarly. An engineer of Water Pollution Control informed Cliff that 23 million gallons of effluent are discharged from each cel] twice a year. In a 12 month period, only one- eighth inch -of sediment is built up. The three cells are now working to full capacity; however the first of three additional cells will be ready for use by July 1st. Prelimi- nary results indicate the lagoon system is well managed, and that there is no excessive pollution above Ministry of Environment standards. Tests are being conducted continually, and the results will be made available to us. The commit- tee will continue to monitor "the treating and discharging process until completion. Anyone wishing to accom- pany the committee on its visits to the lagoon, are asked to contact Cliff Redman, 985-8168. Students interested in this fteld of study are also welcomed. In other matters, Moira Fallis will be responsible for filing reports for the Port Perry Star. This year our association has enjoyed an increased membership, and we look forward to your continued support at our next General Meeting, Thursday, June 21st, at 8:00 p.m. at the Municipal Building, Port Perry. i " Ralgro pellets are im- planted in the animal's Shur-Gain protection RALGRO for growth promotion, and improved feed efficiency in beef cattle. ear and can be used for suckling calves. grow- ing beef calves. feed lol steers and heifers.

Scugog Island news by Mrs. Earl Reader What a wonderful weekend we've had on the Island! we are so proud to be hosts to all the people of Scugog Shores when they meet annually at the Pioneer Days celebration at the museum. I'm sure you'll find scores of pictures and descriptions elsewhere. Last year was a kind of experiment in this kind of venture, but the experience led to even better things for the celebration of the 10th Anniversary. It is estimated that 200 people helped in various ways. How happy the Pioneers would be if they could come back and see the honour being bes- towed by their descendents. It is a wonderful way for area people to meet and revive friendships. We were so pleased to see several people who have been ailing during the past year being able to quietly enjoy the festivities and chat. with their many friends.

Record trout runin the Ganaraska River Once again this spring, a record number of rainbow trout were passed through the Ganaraska Fishway at Port Hope. A total of 3,880 trout ascended the 'Fish ladder", which allows migrating sport fish to by-pass the Corbett Dam and reach the excellent spawning areas of the upper Ganaras- ka River. The run of trout this spring represents a considerable increase over the 1978 total of 2,259 rainbow trout. The number of trout passed upstream has increased BUY THREE ... NE FREE!
