Aittidil monn EDWARD L RYERSON Zug Island international agreement on high seas terrorism, as well as tackling pollution issues . *** Plans for a new roadway to a relocated Neebish Island ferry dock are moving along toward a projected 1990 construction date. The Lake Carriers’ Association (LCA) agreed to pay for the road to a new dock site, closer to the Neebish rock cut, in order to lessen the effect of late season navigation on island resident access to the mainland. In exchange for the road subsidy, the LCA asks that the normal downbound passage, the West Neebish Channel, remain open for a March 20 through January 15 shipping season. The early season grounding of the MESABI MINER on a tight Curve in the Middle Neebish Channel provided the impetus for the LCA offer. *** Gustave (Corky) Fischer passed away in Ludington photo by Rick Nicholls August 26, 1989 Steel bulk freighter (U.S.282106) built in 1960 at Manitowoc, Wisconsin by Manitowoc Shipbuilding, Inc.

He was one of three Pentwater men who took the 40 foot fish tug THREE BROTHERS out of that port, to Juniper Beach, the site where NOVADOC had been driven ashore during the terrible Armistice Day Storm of 1940. While Clyde Cross, captain of the tug was at the helm fighting the heavy seas and Joe Fountain was watching the engine room, Corky Fischer stood on the tug's deck and caught the ten half-frozen men as they jumped from NOVADOC. THREE BROTHERS then came alongside NOVADOC's stern and took off the remaining seven crewmen who had been stranded in the aft end. The over-crowded THREE BROTHERS then returned safely to Pentwater. The Marine Historical Society of Detroit sends its sympathy to the Fischer family. 43-1-6 rey aL
