Andy Templar said Thursday. On Nov. 4, Const. Bert Logan will be assigned to the Barrie O.P.P., and on Nov. 12, Const. Bob Draper will be going to Sturgeon Falls. "All I'm getting at this point is one man," said Templar. "The provincial government's put on a hiring freeze. And with no recruits coming in, they're just maintaining the detachments as they stand." With one less constable, Tem- plar said his detachment will have to cut services to the town. "We're not going to be able to » give as much in community ser- vices," he said.

Templar also said that there may not be as many officers on duty as there are now. Instead, they'll be called in during emer- gencies. "With the budget cutbacks, we have to monitor our overtime very closely, and just respond to essential services." Sgt. andy Templar of the Schrelber O.P.P.

It was the second snowfall this month, but probably not the last. Gorge tenders lower than forecast Town can afford to build one, full sized observation deck, designers tell meeting by Darren MacDonald The News Thanks to lower than expected tenders, _ the Aguasabon Gorge Develop- ment will have a full sized observation deck, Rick Moore told.a public meeting in Ter- race Bay last Thursday. Speaking on behalf of Moore/George Associates, the development's designer, Moore told the crowd of about 20 peo- ple that total construction costs came in at $289,000, consider- ably less than forecast. "The tenders came in under what we had anticipated," Moore said. "So now we can build one full deck." The cost of one observation deck with disabled accessibili- ty had been estimated at $380,000, and did not allow for any extras, such as road signs to attract tourists, or wash- rooms. Moore/George Associates had come up with a new pro- posal, which allowed for the extras and was economically feasible, but reduced the size of the observation deck. "We're very pleased with the work they (Moore/George Asso- ciates) have done," said Terrace Bay Reeve Jim Zeigler. "They've listened to what the Tourism Committee had to say, and I think they put together a good package." "You should have a -- nice, completed pro- ject by the spring." Rick Moore, of Moore/George Associates, designer of the Gorge development. i Local input in the planning pro- cess will ensure the development suits everyone, Zeigler said. "These programs aren't just for tourists to enjoy," he said. "They're also for the people of Terrace Bay." Cullmar Construction has been given the contract to install the remaining footings, which is estimated to cost $55,000. : Cullmar also had the lowest bid for building the observation deck, Moore said, at $121,000. Costal Steel, of Thunder Bay, will provide the Steel for the project, at an estimated cost of $100,000. Once the costs of the GST and additional survey work is added in, the final cost of the development comes to $289,000, said Moore. continued on page 8 \ DIANNE O'NEILL A COMPLETE INSURANCE SERVICE COMPETITIVE RATES FOR QUALITY COVERAGE TERRACE BAY INSURANCE LTD. * Home * Business * Auto * Cottages * Recreational Vehicles * Etc.
