A couple of weeks ago some of We miss the sturdy tug the the local sportsmen were taking ad- | 'James Whalen'. It always picked vantage of the open water in the bay to cast or troll for trout- by all reports they were successful in cat- ching some good-sized fish. Our harbour was still ice-bound with about 18 to 20-inch thick ice. We needed a good rain and a strong northeast wind to blow it out the gap to the bay. We were hoping that someone with a sturdy tug would arrive and chop a couple of channels through up the lightkeepers and their sup- plies at our government dock and transported them to the Slates, Lamb and Battle Islands. It would break a couple of chan- nels to the dock in order to pick up its passengers and freight. The cap- tain always received a big welcome from the villagers, especially the commercial fishermen as it enabl- ed them to get out to their fishing grounds earlier to set nets.

Sailboating and yachts are becoming popular among the newcomers of our community whether dockside, anchored in the harbour or in full sail, they please the eye. Some have luxury fittings and cabins to accommodate the owners while on a sailing holiday. The population is down to about 150 people now. It once was at 380 to 400 inhabitants. The village is an ideal place to retire in when one reaches the golden years of their life. OPP News Holiday fatalities down The Ontario Provincial Police are pleased to report that the number of traffic deaths during the holiday Victoria Day weekend dropped substantially when com- pared to 1986 and as well the number of boating deaths plum- meted from seven in 1986 to one this year. Six persons were killed in traf- fic accidents on roadways patroll- ed by the provincial police this year as compared to nine in 1986. "This is a significant reduction in holiday traffic fatalities," said Deputy Commissioner Bob Rose. "'We attribute this decline to an in- creased public awareness of safety on the road and waterways in On- tario and to increased enforcement _by our officers last weekend. In 1985, prior to Strict is Fair , there were 18 traffic fatalities dur- ing the three-day Victoria Day weekend. We are pleased that this was one of the safest holiday long weekends on record on Ontario's road and waterways,'" said Deputy Com- missioner Rose. "Much of the credit for this welcome change is due to the efforts of the provincial media in getting the message out to the public that safety is no accident."' Accoring to Rose the O.P.P.'s Strict is Fair program of increas- ed enforcement will continue throughout the summer. ( NORTHSHORE SELECTS HOCKEY CLUB "PRESENTS" FROM THE VOICES.
