Whitby Fire Deputy Chief Bob Marshall says two boys who were fishing and playing with a. lighter apparently set fire ta their nylon fishing lime when it became tangled. The burming line dropped inta some buirushes, setting them abiaze. and the fire soon spread ta the boardwalk. "We had ta iay 700 feet of lime ta get out there," Marshall saqs, "and it took quite a bit of time. Lynde Shores is owned and operated by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation -Authority (CLJOCA). Acting manager Chris Conti- says the bulrushes at Lynde Shores are stili dry because much of the green vege- tation hasn't started ta come up yet. He says an y damage is only temporary as the buirushes were iast yearls growth so "everything wiil regenerate.» " Appraisals ~On Spot e M e~Bird " Repairs - 3Days id@ Get 2nd at " Rernodelling Original Handcrafted ©( Haif Price The Wr Amp 9ay1 211 Brook St. S., Whitby 666-4612 Ifs time for... ,à The War AmpsI TAie letters which were sent ta Town council by teacher Trudy Colins, offer suggestions on how ta mai) Victoria Street suifer.
