[For more pictures, see page 3.] \This turnout demonstrates the broad range of interest in this project,\ remarked Col. Daniel R. Clark, District Commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, at the Port Ontario Harbor of Refuge Groundbreaking Ceremony. A large number of state, federal, county and local officials, as well as members of the public, attended the event, held September 27 at Selkirk Shores State Park. Participating in the ceremony were those in- strumental in making the project a reality, including Congressman Frank Horton; State Senator John McHugh; State Assem- blyman Ray Chesbro; Chairman of the Oswego County Legislature Hollis Iselin; Former State Senator H. Douglas Barclay; and Deputy Commissioner of the N.Y.S. Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, Ivan Vamos. Also taking part was Brig. General Joseph Pratt. The project, originally authorized by Congress in 1945, had to overcome many obstacles to get to this point. An early believer in the project was former Senator Barclay, who enlisted the help of Horton when he inherited Oswego County, as a result of the expansion of Horton's district, in 1982. An agreement between New York State and the federal government provided for 90 percent federal funding, as a commercial navigation project. However, last year, the Army Corps attempted to classify the endeavor as recreational, eligible for only 50 percent federal funding. Horton argued that the cost- sharing formula should not be changed, as the original purpose of the project a harbor of refuge recreational and commercial fisherman, remained the same. He also pointed out the great need for this harbor, and the lives it would save. Following the passage of a bill allowing appropriations for the project, the Office of management and Budget stepped in and stopped the financing. Again, Horton went to bat for the project, and about two months ago, he said, the OMB provided that the plans could proceed. \There were times that I didn't think we'd be here,\ Horton said, noting that this year was a critical time for the project. The project will consist of two rubblemound entrance breakwaters totalling 1,700 feet, an eight-foot deep entrance channel, and a six- foot deep inner channel. The cost is estimated at $5 million with the State contributing $2.8 million. Col. Clark said that he expects work to begin im- mediately and to be com- ^ pleted by the fall of 1987. After ceremonial spades of dirt were turned over by the dignitaries, the group ad- journed to a reception celebrating the transition of this project from idea to reality. Bowl-For-Breath At Local Center It's almost time for the area's Second Annual Bowl- For-Breath, to be held at the Pulaski Bowling Center, October 24-31, according to Chairperson Nancy Hilton. This is a nation-wide campaign that will be held at local bowling alleys, spon- sored by Fay's Drugs and Coca-Cola. The money raised will go towards the research efforts of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The Pulaski Bowling Center has offered its lanes for leagues, non-leagues, adults and children to get in on the bowling action. They are also offering free bowling to the public on Saturday, October 25, to anyone participating with five or more sponsors. Those who wish to par- ticipate may pick up a sponsor sheet at the Bowling Center as soon as possible. Participants then get friends and neighbors to sponsor them, for a speciafied sum (usually 1 to 5 cents) per point in a total of three games. After bowling, the participant collects from his sponsors and returns his pledged money to the chapter. Prizes are awarded for total number of sponsors attained. Chairperson Nancy Hilton would like to see more adult league bowlers get involved, and suggest that one person from each team participate, and get the other members to sponsor them. For more information, contact Nancy Hilton at 298-5862 or Helen Coe at 298-5958. \We would like to thank everyone, in advance, for helping \our kids\. There's a long hard fight ahead of us before a cure or control for this tragic disease is found, \said Hilton. \Thank-you for being such an important part of our fight to combat and control this number one killer of our children. Remember, when one bowls that week, they are bowling for the breath of Darcy Hilton and thousands of others like her in this country. Her breath depends on you.\ Darcy Ann Hilton, 18 month old daughter of Clifton and Nancy Hilton of Pulaski, prepares for her Second Annual Bowl-For-Breath, to be held at the Pulaski Bowling Center, October 24-3 L The money raised will benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
