According to Durham Region- al Police several channel mark- ers, which dictate the safest route throughout the lake, have been legally moved during the ast two weeks, which puts aters'safetyin jeopardy. The moving of channel mark- ers is a criminal offence which could result in extensive dam- age to boats as well as posing life threatening dangers to boat- ers. The markers causing the most concern to police are those marking the route into the town of Lindsay. The riveris narrow enough al- ready and boats could run aground if boaters do not know the area, said Sergeant Bill Vandoleweerd. The channel markers in- volved have since been put back in their proper positions by the Trent Severn Waterway Au- thorities, who are responsible for charting the lake, but boat- ers should be extra cautious while boating on Lake Scugog for the next while. Anyone who has any knowl- edge of those responsible is asked to call the Durham Re- gional Police Marine Unit at 579-1520 or Crime Stoppers at 436-8477. Park. 12 years of age and under. events.
