A meeting was held on March 2in with officials from the Ministry of Natural Re- sources. The need for a fishing pier was identified as a way to allevi- ate the traffic problems caused by fishermen on both sides of the road. The causeway has been the site of numerous accidents in the past. It is believed if proper facilities are provided, the inci- dents will decrease. During the meeting the two sides came to an agreement that provides for a fishing pier on the north side of the causeway at the triple culvert. The township will provide the fishing pier, while the Ministry of Transportation will provide a walkway from the pier as well as a parking area.

Mayor Howard Hall says he has been in discussion with lo- cal manufacturer TechStar and the company has indicated an interest in providing a plastic dock it has recently introduced. A section of this dock will be tested on Lake Scugog this sum- mer. Despite coming to terms on a number of issues, Mayor Hall says the talks are only at the preliminary stage. with the ansportation nistry. He does not anticipate the pier to be ready this summer. But Mayor Hall says it is needed in the community and will be worth the money the mu- nicipality will have to spend. "If we're going to be serious about tourism, it's going to cost us money," he said. Scugag council is preparing a resolution which will be voted upon shortly. an SN SA VAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAWVAWAY, EvaVaVaVa¥VaVaVaVaVaVaVaVaVaVaVaVaVaVy A VAVAYR AVAVAVAVAVAVYVAVAVAVAVA -- ACTOR'S WORKSHOP ~ Acting Classes for Beginners & Veterans ~ Instructor: John H.
