Ms. Deacon said the wide- spread publicity given the mus- sels has prompted many calls of shauiry from the public to MNR offices. She said that boat owners taking their craft from the Great Lakes should remove the boat from the water, if at all pos- sible, inspect the hull for larvae, and leave the boat out of water. The larvae will die in two to three days if out of water in hot, weather. But in cool, damp weather, larvae can live on a boat hull out of water for a week. And anglers should never dump bait bucket or live well water from one lake to another. The zebra mussels, about half an inch long, attach them- selves to water intake pipes and No zebras in Seugog, yet getting rid of them is difficult and costly. There is also fear they mus- sels may hinder spawning ofna- tive fish by collecting in large numbers on spawning beds. It is believed the mussels were first introduced to North America about five years from Europe when a freighter emp- tied contaminated ballast wa- terinto Lake St. Clair. While Ms. Deacon said MNR is\gxpecting the mussels to start ghowing up in the in- land waters of Ontario, she was hopeful that the huge amount of on-going research will come up with a way of dealing with this problem. i Boaters are urged to take visual inspections throughout the boating season. The larvae will survive in water to 12 de- grees C. The adult mussels won't rep-produce in colder wa- ter, but they will survive in these temperatures. The threat is there during the entire boat- ing season. Herrema says GO decision coming (From page 1) But if an announcement is coming, Mr. Pagnuelo said his association wants to hear some- thing concrete and firm. "I want them to give us a date when we can expect to see a train back on those tracks," he told the Star. According to Mr. Herrema, the GO service between Peter- borough and Toronto will be a Joint venture by three levels of government. Ottawa will pay for track up-keep, Durham and munici- palities will pay for parking are- as at the stations, and Queens Park will cover the rest of the ests, ugog Township council- lor Marilyn Pearce who is the Liberal canddiate for the Dur- ham East riding in the fall elec- tion, told the Star Monday she hasn't heard of any specific an- nouncement plans from Queens Park. But she agreed that restor- ing commuter rail service is an important issue to this riding and ridings in the Peterborough area. "The rail service is a neces- sity for this area," she said, add- ing she's prepared to work and lobby for this during the elec- tion campaign. - NOW REGISTERING - 4 WEEK COURSE Starts AUGUST 6th Mondays & Wednesdays - 6 to 9 PM - TWO INSTRUCTORS FREE Home Pickup within city limits for in car.
