(From page 1) may be having an adverse effect on the numbers of fish in Scugog, stating he has heard of cases where "50 or 60 fish' were taken by ice fishermen. Mr. Orr told council that "ice fishermen have trepass- ed on private property, broken down fences, and left garbage and other trash on the beaches. He said that on one occa- sion when fishermen were asked to move their cars because they were blocking a roadway, they threatened the property owners in the area. Ward 3 councillor John Williams, who lives on Pine Point on Scugog Island, said he could sympathize with the complaints from Mr. Orr and Mr. Goreski, saying that cars parked recently along Beach Road created a dangerous situation and both sides of the MacLaren's: INSULATION INSPECTION ~~ SERVICES 12 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., January 7, 1981 Ice fishing problems made it hard for other vehicles to get past. Councillor Williams agreed with Mr. Goreski who said during the council meet- ing that ice fishing should be banned on Lake Scugog. Mr. Orr said although police have been ticketing cars parked along the beach roads, and have been most co-operative in responding to complaints from Island resi- dents, the three-hour park- ing time limit on Township roads should be decreased to one hour. As it is now, he stated, an officer first has to mark a car, then come back in three hours to issue a ticket, then wait an additional three hours before it can be towed away. Both Mr. Orr and Mr. Goreski pointed out at the meeting that the vast major- ity of ice fishermen have been very co-operative when asked to move their cars, Specializing in ...

Mayor Jerry Taylor point- ed out that even if the Town- ship wanted a ban on ice fishing, that decision would be up to the Ministry of Natural Resources which has jurisdiction over the lake. Mr. Orr said that putting 'no access to lake' signs on the beach roads might be one way of curtailing the prob- lem, as would opening up the access through the provin- cially owned lands at the northern tip of Scugog Island which is closed in the winter months. Library site gets approval (From page 1) referring to a report heard earlier in the evening from a joint committee made up of two councillors and two lib- rary board reps which look- ed at 12 alternative sites over "the past two weeks, and found that the minimum cost to buy another piece of land would be $80,000. And on top of that there would be added costs for legal fees, new plans, soil tests and site preparation, as well as the very real possibility that a Wintario commitment to a new library of $100,000 could be lost if construction is not underway by May 6 of this year. Speaking prior to the vote Two car accident causes heavy damage A two car accident the day before Christmas on Region Road 23 caused extensive damage and sent a nine year old youth to hospital with internal injuries. Durham Police say the accident happened about 3:40 p.m. December 24 under hazardous driving conditions when a car driven by Eric Bell of West Hill tried to turn - off Regional: Road 23-and was -: struck by a southbound car driven by Steven Byeberg of Greenwood. Nine year old Ian Leong of Pickering, a passenger in the Byeberg car was taken to Uxbridge Hospital where he was reported in satisfactory condition. One of the cars, a '78 Subaru was described by police as a write-off, and the second, a "72 Volvo sustained about $1000 damage. Although police have laid no charges, the accident is still under investigation. An accident December 31 at the intersection of High- way 7A and Regional Road 57 caused more than $2000 damage to two cars. Police report that David Cowling of Oshawa may have had his vision obscured by 'snow- onthe windshield - when he attempted to make a turn off Highway 7A and struck a car driven by Gary Carson of Blackstock. There were no serious injuries, and police have charged Cowling with driving with an obstructed windshield. Both Durham Region Police and the OPP report that roads and highways in the Scugog area were free of serious accidents over the Christmas and New Year's holiday season. '"That's just the way we like it," said a Durham THERE ---- police spokesman. on the motion to re-introduce Even as his called during fore finally Answering in the | affirmative. Both councillors Crosier and Espey had stated during the November municipal election campaign that they were opposed to the plan to build a new library on the Water Street property. Councillor John Williams, speaking in favour of his motion, referred to the fact that the joint committee looked at 12 alternate sites, and none 'was acceptable from a location point of view or the increased cost. "The Water Street site is the cheapest one to provide a new library, and nobody can critize this council for not looking at all the possibilit- ies," he said. The vote was far from unanimous with councillor Lawrence Malcolm, Neil Hunter and John Wolters in opposition. Councillor Wolters said the land should be used for fut- ure park purposes, the pos- ition he has maintained throughout the long library debate inthe Township. Ward one councillor Neil Hunter said.nothing was go- ing to change his mind about the site. He suggested that maybe Scugog really does not need a new library anywhere. "That's what some people are telling me lound and clear and maybe we'd better ask the people just what they want," he stated. Councillor Lawrence Mal- colm said he would want more time to study the 12 alternative sites presented by the joint committee be- fore making his mind up, and said he could not support the motion until he had more time. The Williams motion and the final vote came at the end of a long evening for councillors during which Dr. Jack Cottrell presented the 12 alternative sites which had be designated by the joint committee over the past couple of weeks. The included the former bottling works property on Perry Street along with a piece of land just to the north at a total cost of about $80,000; a six lot parcel on Lilla Street just north of Perry Street at a cost to buy of $100,000; a parcel on Reg- ional Road 8 near the Central Seven Workshop; three acres just north of Birdseye Park at a cost of $175,000; and the site of the old Scugog Arena on Water Street. Dr. Cottrell said the committee felt this site would not be suitable be- cause it is a valuable piece of commercial land owned by the Township, and a resid- ence on the northeast corner of the property would likely have to be bought at a cost of about $70,000. At one point in the meeting when the alternative sites were under discussion, councillor Espey suggested strongly-that the Township make a conditional offer for the Perry Street property at a cost of about $80,000. However, as members of council saw the price tags for the various alternative sites, it became apparent that spending more tax dollars for another site for a new library would not get support from council. There is little doubt that had council decided not to approve the motion Monday night, the library issue would have died on the spot without a new building, anywhere.
