Beh Fs fim ay we gine we <a Westbound trucks entering Terrace Bay last Tuesday afternoon faced an unexpected delay as the OPP conducted its annual truck inspections. "For one day, or perhaps two, depending on man- power, we try to stop as many vehicles as we can," says OPP Sergeant Andy Templar. "We check them for safety related factors, the drivers, equipment, things like that." Templar says that | the OPP's District Traffic Sergeant, the District's Dangerous Goods and two constables from Schreiber took partin the ¥ operation. Only west- bound commercial vehi- | cles were stopped so the | highway wouldn't be | crowded with large trucks.

Params = has donated the pipe for the bridge, and Jeffery says the hardest area to cut will be the from the Jackfish dump to the Jackfish Lake. "But when it's finished, you'll beable to go from Ter- race Bay right down to the area next to Santoy Lake where all the camps are," he says.

"We're going to continue (building trails) towards Schreiber as well, and head towards Rossport," he says. Jeffery says that all the trails they will be cutting are new trails, and that they're not encroaching on existing ones. In the long-term, he says "they hope to build trails con- necting this area with Nipigon and Longlac, as well as Marathon. "We focused on Marathon this year because they received funding for trails, and were already heading this way," says Jeffery. "So they wanted to know where we were going to put our trails so they would know where to put theirs." In addition to trail groom- ing, Jeffery says the club has a number of group events planned this winter. "We want to stress that we're a family snowmobile club," he says. ""We're going to have a bunch of events, includ- ing a few poker runs, maybe a fish derby, group rides to Nip- igon and maybe even to Wawa and then up to Longlac." Earlier this year, the club applied for a UIC grant, under LOOK WHO'S NIFTY 501! HAPPY 50TH NICK! Love Rosetta, Cindy & Section 25 of the Unemploy- ment Act. The group requested $100,000 to build 56 kilome- tres of trails that would bring them to Dead Horse Creek, which is halfway to Marathon. The club's proposal includ- ed work for eight people for six months, building a 20-foot wide trail with two emergency shelters--one at Jackfish and one at Dead Horse. Although they were initially told there was no funding for the project, Jeffery says that © some money did come avail- able last week. "They have some funds available right now, but we're not going to take it," he says. "It's too late in the year to start a project that size. The shut down isn't over until the mid- dle of October, and then you have to spend a few weeks get- ting people. Before you know it, it's November, and that's just too late." Jeffery says they'll keep the application with UIC and wait until next spring to begin those trails. The Snowgoers club has sent a letter of support to Ter-. race Bay Council asking the Ministry of Transportation modify the bridges along the highway in town. "Right now, the biggest problem for snowmobilers in Terrace Bay is getting out of town," says Jeffery. He says the only way out is either over the Aguasabon River or over the railway tracks. Jeffery is hoping MTO will redesign the bridges to accom- modate snowmobiles when MTO puts the new highway in next summer. Naas Nicholas Commisso. nd SEHSOPE SE
