10- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, February 3, 1998 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Mayor's angry about mess left annually by visitors By John B. McClelland Monday morning of the have been numerous com- for visitors, as well as an causeway spend money in Scugog should examine closing causeway to anglers: Moffatt Port Perry Star Scugog Mayor Dou Moffatt wants to know if the township has the power to ban fishing from the Hwy. 7A causeway, just east of Port Perry. Township staff have been asked to come up with a report on the contentious issue, which seems to rear its head on an annual basis. The mayor made the request during a meeting parks and recreation com- mittee, and later told the Star that he wants to see something done about the garbage and trash that line both sides of the highway. "I want to see the mess cleaned up," said Mayor Moffatt. "If a ban (on fish- ing) helps solve the (garbage) problem, then that's the way we should do it."

The mayor wants to determine if Scugog has the legal power to ban fishing there with a munic- ipal bylaw; the highway is provincial jurisdiction, as are fishing regulations. the township, and conclude that banning them could hurt commerce. Township administrator Earl Cuddie said Monday that along with the garbage issue, there is also a safety factor with anglers cross- ing the very busy highway. "It is only a miracle that somebody has not been killed there yet," said Mr. Cuddie.
