Jr Cw Veatth yanestig on Lake Scugog...maybe There's been no decision yet about a Lake Scugog weed harvesting operation this summer, and a decision might not. be made until mid-June or later. Dr. Bob Brydges of the water resources branch of the ministry told the STAR earlier this week that Lake Scugog: work has been included when the ministry called for tenders earlier this year." A single joint tender for the ministry's weed cutting operations has been 'submitted by 'Limnos Ltd. of Toronto and Kaw- artha Weed Control of - En- -nismore. This year's cut- ting will. encompass "about 1,000 acres of lake bottom. Dr. Brydges said the experimental stage of the weed cutting project is over, and the ministry wants to be more respon- sive to needs and requests of the public jin future in weed cutting projects. Problem, is, however, that transportation ' of machinery is prohibitive, particularly since there are only three.of the huge har- Ratepayers "meet Thurs. Development ip the Scugog: area will be the main topic "at the annual meeting of the Scugog Rate- payers' Association meeting Thursday 'night, 8 p.m., at the Scugog: Township municipal office on Porey Street, Regional epresents will be on hand to present a" = "seminar type' of present- ation on development; How a developer goes about establishing a development; What processes are invol- ved, and. other: areas of development. Also on hand will be Coun. Reg Rose, who will speak on the development slated for Scugog now. Ratepayers will also elect their officers at the * meeting. Like all Ratepayers meet- ings, the public -is-encour- aged to attend and take part. Musical weekend Tickets for Music-Music- Music, the variety pro- gramme production by Scu- gog Choral Society is selling very well, but may still be purchased at the Port Perry Star office, or by phoning 985-3043, Practically the whole pro- gramme schedule was prin- ted in the Port Perry Star last week and should appeal to everyone interested in light and entertaining song and music.

Dr. Brydges pointed out that although he is not fam- iliar with Lake Scugog, he could see little reason why a weed cutting operation would not be possible here. (Harvesters: cut from two to five feet under the surface). From 'the requests for weed harvesting work, the ministry has received from Lake Scugog residents, he will have to 'establish if there is enough demand to make Lake Scugog work a viable operation. The requests presently before the ministry for Lake Scugog will all have to be examined, including a visit to the site to establish if the area is suitable for cutting. He said the requests before the ministry total to only "a few days of work' on Lake Scugog, again rais- ing the question of expend- iture versus benefit. "There hasn't been a ground swell of requests for .work on Lake Scugog, al- though there might he if you print articles like this one," he said. PORT & PERRY Serving Scugog Township - Wednesday, March 30, 1977 Vol. 111 No. 21 32 Pages Great Team Effort: Win All-Onta In Barrie, at least, they know where Port Perry is, In fact, Port Perry has been making headline news on the sports pages of 'the local press in their success- ful bid for the all-Ontario Girls' Curling Champion- ships of the Ontario Feder- ation of Secondary Schools Athletic Association. A beaming Reg Philip and four curlers from Port Perry High School returned ' home from the Monday - Wednesday tournament hosted by the Barrie Curling Club. The all-Ontario trophy came home with them. The the Port Perry rink of skip Lee Howsam, 15; vice Elaine Elliott, 18; - second Alison McNab, lead Vicky Fairman and coach Reg Philip, it was the topping on a perfect year. They won the Southern Ontario Ladies Curling Association junior Championship girls' tankard earlier in the year, and swept through the Lake Ontario Secondary School Association finals undefeated to advance into Central Ontario Secondary School Association qualify- ing round. Port Perry went into the final playoff round Wednes- day with five wins over rinks from Toronto, St. Catharines, Sudbury, Fort Francis, and Collingwood. All-Ontario Curling Champions A rink from Port Perry High School polished off the all-Ontario championships in the Ontario Feder- _ation of Secondary School Athletic Association com. petitions held in Barrie last week. From left (front) are: second Alison McNab; skip Lee Howsam and lead Vicky Fairman. Rear - Reg Philip, coach; and vice skip Elaine Elliott. Only two of the games could be considered "easy wins". It took an extra end to defeat Fort Francis and St. Catharines. On Wednesday, the final day of the competition, it was experience that held the upper hand at the end of the championships as Elliott consistently made the big shot to lead her team to the championship. It was Elliott who was responsible for giving Port Perry the winning edge in the extra-end win over Windsor in the final game. Final score Port Perry 8, Windsor 6. Port Perry finished the 12-team tournament with a perfect 7-0 record, including three wins which needed extra ends. Skip of the Ontario cham- pionship team is Lee Howsam. She's one of three 15-year-olds on the club, The others are Alison Mc- Nab, second, and Vicky -Fairman as lead. This is the second year the four girls have curled to- -- gether but by far the most ~_impressive. One reason was in the ~ change of positions. "Last year we had Elaine throwing skip rock in front of the younger girls. We didn't have the success we wanted. This year we put her in the middle and that smoothed everything out," Philip said. --**This year we've put it all together." Besides winning the junior Tankard and qualifying for the provincial final, the Port Perry rink captured the Lake Ontario Secondary School Association cham- pionship, the Central Ontario Secondary School Association title and missed a berth in the Ontario Winter Games by one rock.
