PORT PERRY 985-2379 SoA 3 I), ® OR PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, September 13, 1988 -- 5 Scugog's water levels still at minimum range Despite Labour Day weekend's rainy weather, Lake Scugog's wa- ter level is still hovering at the minimum navigation range. Blaine Trumbley, water control technician with the Trent-Severn Waterway system, advises boaters to use caution when navigating Lake Scugog and the Scugog Riv- er. In mid-August, the system is- sued an advisory, warning naviga- tors that water depths as shown on Chart 2026 trom Port Perry to Lindsay were less than indicated. Although the advisory has nol officially been lifted, the long weekend's rain did raise water lev- els. "The rains have brought levels back some," Mr. Trumbley said. "During the weekend they were brought within range." However, since last weekend, the levels have lowered again, back to the minimum. Speed limit reduced in Epsom and Utica The speed limits in both Epsom and Utica will be lowered in the near future, after a suggestion by roads superintendent Ronn Mac- Donald. Council authorized Mr. MacDo- nald to get the signs ready and have them posted as soon as possible. There have been a number of Child hurt A six year old Blackstock area girl was lucky enough to suffer only minor injuries, after she veered into a car on her bicycle. The accident occurred September 9th at 5S p.m. when Carla McLaughlin was headed west- bound in the east lane of Conces- sion 2, 2 km. east of the West Quarter Line. Betty Preston, 46, of Pontypool was headed west in the west lane in her car, when Carla's bike veered across the road and hit the car. The girl was taken to Port Per- ry's Community Memorial Hospi- tal by her father and treated for mi- nor injuries. Durham Regional Police say no charges were laid. Kate's Crafts 35 MAIN ST.

What we need is a long rainy spell to bring the levels up." He says the Trent-Severn Water- way staff attempts to keep Lake Scugog within a range of 249.78 to 249.92. In the last few weeks, Mr. Trumbley says levels have been "bumping along within 2 or 3 centimetres of the minimum." And unless the watershed area receives many, many rainy days, he says the chances of the lake ris- ing dramatically before the end of navigation season (October 12) are slim. "I can't see the lake coming back much in that time," he said. If there is little in the way of snowfall this winter, and therefore run-off, chances are next summer won't be much different than 1988's. In the meantime, Mr. Trumbley insists everything possible is be- ing done to maintain Lake Scu- gog's water level. All the logs at the Lindsay dam, for example, have been in place since May. "We will be watching it," he says, "even during the winter." Does winterizing your pool give you cold feet? If you're unsure about how to prepare your pool for winter, you need BioGuard.
