All federal and non-federal funds for the con- struction of a \harbor of refuge\ at Port Ontario are in place, and bids for con- struction work are being accepted by the Corps of Engineers, Congressman Frank Horton (R-Brighton) has announced. \We've been given the green light,\ Horton said, in reference to the bid opening announcement. \We had hoped for construction to begin before the end of September, and it looks as though that will be the case. I couldn' t be more pleased.'' The Buffalo district for the Corps of Engineers scheduled release of the bid notice on July 31. Following the mandatory 30-day period for offers, there will be an opening of bids, probably during the first week of The Friendship Shop has moved, from its former location in Lacona, to a more visible site on Main Street, Sandy Creek. The Shop also has a fresh new look; displays in the large glass windows attract the attention of window shoppers, and inside, racks and shelves neatly hold the merchandise for inspection. Good, used clothing and items at low prices are of- fered at the Friendship Shop, which relies on volunteers and donated items. The store is run by members of several area churches; Sandy Creek United Methodist, Sandy Creek Wesleyan, St. Frances (Lacona), Boylston Wesleyan, Park United Methodist, Pulaski Baptist, Pulaski Wesleyan and St. James Episcopal. The churches took over the management of the shop, about four years ago, from the PAYE group at Sandy Creek School. At that time, the shop was housed on Main Street, near the bridge. From there it moved to Salinas Street, Lacona, and then to its present site. At its new home, the Friendship Shop is at a more convient position, and will be able to remain open through the winter. Other activities have been initiated through the Friendship Shop. Each Christmas, baskets of food and gifts are prepared for needy families. The group also runs the Food Pantry. Both projects benefit families chosen by the ministers and the school district. The shop's new hours are Thursdays and Fridays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Satur- days, 9 a.m. to noon. Many hours of hard work have made the Friendship Shop's move possible, and with its opening, it seems to have paid off. (NOTE: Anyone wishing to donate to the Friendship Shop may call 387-5539 or 387-3666 for more in- formation, or drop items off at the shop durjuig regular hours.)
