"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, May 5, 1992 - 3 Conviction doesn't hamper development Despite the conviction of a To- ronto lawyer on fraud charges, the planned development of a parcel of land in east Port Perry will go ahead as planned. Joseph Cornacchia was found guilty on May 1 of fraud in con- nection with a phony real estate Councillor is worried about ramifications From Page 1 Scugog has two sites. "We saved the Region of Dur- ham $300,000, it's time others do the same," she said. Chairman Herrema told the Port Perry Star that he is going to ask the Works Committee to look into the Cartwright Trans- fer Station. He says itis "an aw- ful lot of money" to spend to maintain the current hours of operation. He suggests cutting back the hours to two days a week. He would like to see it opened on Saturdays and Mondays. It is currently open five days a week. But Councillor Christie is worried about the ramifications if the station is closed. Her con- cerns include increased road- side dumping and further dis- tances of travel for the Cartwright residents. She argues that Scugog is unique as it is the only munici- pality with a lake in the middle of it and this adds to the travel times. "I want to know, by closing it to what degree do we increase what is left on the roadside," she said. _ Councillor Christie says a de- cision could be made later this year. transaction involving Seaway Trust. In an unrelated capacity Mr. Cornacchia was acting as a con- sultant for the Michael Stuart Group, a company interested in developing the Conway proper- ty on Highway 7A and Water Street. But William Meek, a repre- sentative for the Michael Stuart Group told the Port Perry Star that Mr. Cornacchia's convic- tion will have no bearing on the project. . Mr. Stuart says the project will go ahead as planned. The group met with Scugog Council last month where it met strong opposition concerning its 85,000-square foot mall. He says they are addressing all the concerns and will have a site plan prepared shortly. The group is proposing an outdoor mall on the east end land complete with a 26,000- square foot grocery store, and other large tenants. 1st Port Perry Beavers, Cubs and Scouts will be ready to roll thanks to the generosity of two d $1,250 each for the purchase of a bus for the organiza- area insurance companies who donate he 1st Port Perry group committee (second tion.

Although the Ministry claimed Lake Scugog was the cleanest it has been in years af- ter an ice fishing season, many residents are complaining about garbage left on the lake. The Scugog Angler Society wants to stop those complaints. Mr. Carr told the Port Perry Star they want to clean up the causeway, the Nonquon River and all access points on to the lake. "We don't want to see fishing stopped. This is a tourist town HEE EER et : and everything relates to those people coming to town, of which many are fishermen," Mr. Irvin, owner of JD Fishing said. A complete creel was per- formed on Lake Scugog this winter and showed that ice fish- ing is becoming an increasingly popular sport. The creel showed the fishing activity on Scugog almost doubled since the last creel was performed in 1988. More than 800 huts were on Lake Scugog this winter, with 66 per cent of the anglers com- ing from Durham Region. "Eighty per cent of our busi- ness is from tourists, " he said. Adding shops can't afford to lose that business if fishing is de- terred on the lake.
