Western Days is over for another year, and while every- thing is still fresh in our minds, we are asking for your help. The Scugog Chamber of Commerce "Western Days Committee' would appreciate some input from any interested individuals, business people, or organizations who participate. We would like to assess the success of Port Perry Western Days with others and find ways of making this annual event even better. If you have any ideas or constructive criticism, please write to: Western Days Chairman, c/o Port Perry Star, P.O. Box 90, Port Perry, Ontario LOB 1NO.

But weed control in the remainder of the lake is a muni¢ipal responsibil- ity. However, both Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Law- rence said that trying to find a solution to the problems should have input and funding from both the federal and provincial govern- ments, and action should be co-ordinated by the Kawartha Con- servation Authority. Scugog Township council has already ask- ed the Authority to help set up a committee of experts to try and deal with this problem and others associated with Lake Scugog. Mr. Stevenson said finding a solution to the problem (if one exists) might involve extensive water testing to deter- mine the nutrient-load- ing in the lake, including tests to see if the discharge from the sewage treatment cells is helping to promote the weed growth. If such a study deter- mines what is causing the extraordinary weed growth, further steps would have to be taken to eliminate the causes. Mr. Lawrence said the federal authorities "must take some initia- tive in dealing with the problem", and they "would be hard-pressed not to join a program' co-ordinated by the Con- servation Authority. Although Scugog Township's limited spraying action this summer of about eight acres of lake along the Weeds in Lake Scugog Port Perry waterfront with Reglone A appears to have worked as the weed growth there is not so pronounced, both Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Law- rence agreed that there may not be any short- term solutions to the overall problem in the lake. Several boat owners docked at Port Perry over the weekend for Western Days told the Star that the weed problem now is as bad WINTERS, SUTHERLAND & MOASE as it has ever been, and even the navigation channel in the lake is over-grown with the weeds. As for the Township request that the Kawar- tha Conservation Authority co-ordinate a study of the problem, Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor said the Author- ity must approve the setting up of such a study-committee, and this has not yet been done. .
