Police chief bound for Amersburgh Terrace Bay Police Chief, Tom Tack, has taken a job with the police force in Amersburgh, On- tario. Amersburgh is located 20 miles south of Windsor on the Detroit River. Mr. Tack will be joining the 12 man force shortly after the end of September. Current Amersburgh chief, Everett Johnson said he is looking forward to Mr. Tack's arrival. 'I met him (Mr. Tack) about a week ago and I was very impressed. I am looking forward to working with him," com- mented Johnson. At present, no replacement for Mr. Tack has been announced here in Terrace Bay, but police sources say that an advertisement will be run in the near future. We wish Mr. Tack the best of luck in his new position and we look forward to welcoming his replacement here in Terrace Bay. Remembering Schreiber: Magic Moments Editor's Note - Last week, The News received a letter to the editor from Barry and Lynn Walsh and fami- ly, from Thunder Bay. Shorly afterwards Mr. Walsh telephoned, and we were encouraged by his at- titude towards Schreiber, its Centennial, and preser- ving that piece of history for future generations. This week we are pleased to run a rememberance from Mr. Walsh and we would like it to be known that this space is available each week for anyone with rememberances of Schreiber. We are truly en- couraged by Mr. Walsh's response and we are hopeful that others will soon follow his lead and let other people experience the magic of Schreiber through the eyes of its residents, past and_ present. Remember, any submis- sions will also be held for 'the special Centennial suppliment. . Greatly encouraged by the response I received and spurred on by suggestions that I try my hand at Schreiber nostalgia I shall again attempt to stimulate others to contribute to the forthcoming special edition planned by the Terrace Bay - Schreiber News in honour of Schreiber and its 100th birthday. What do you think of when the subject of Schreiber history is raised? The basic theme I tried to convey in my recent letter, was the magic moments. we all experienced during that wonderful week. Magic moments for me consisted mainly of mental images that constantly pop- ped up as though they were frozen in time while gabb- ing with old friends. The images were uncanny in their seeming reality. Melodramatic? Well, perhaps just a bit, but I swear I could actually Seon ...Albert Garrity, sitting behing his till, arms cross- ed, scoffing while survey- ing his establishment with the eyes of an eagle. Ab was a character, unique in the annals of Schreiber. ...old Mr. Haapa, flick- ing the.reins of his horses, ignoring the pack of kids hitching rides on his sleigh or wagon, depending on the season. ...hard working Mrs. Cash, patiently standing behind the YMCA lunch counter taking orders from her late, sometimes tipsy, customers. ...Little Joe Figliomeni riding in his grey °47 Chevy, pipe comfortably ensconced in his mouth, whose generosity and hospitality was legendary. ...Joe Campbell, umpir- ing baseball games. Joe's love for the game was un- matched, even if he mixed his games up and forgot, at times, that it wasn't a '*Full House" when the bases were loaded. ...Keith Ross, in the peak of his youth, at the blue line, his whole body seeming to leap as he unloaded a blistering wrist shot of which no one was his superior, then or now.

Schreiber belongs to its citizens to a greater degree than many of them realize. Our history is rich in tradi- tion and should be passed on from generation to generation. Do not let this moment pass without con- tributing some memorabilia to further enhance its history. On Thursday of Centen- nial Week there was a heavy rainfall, but it real- ly wasn't rain, it was all of the Schreiberites in heaven, weeping because they could not share in the celebrations. Come on Schreiberites, wherever you may dwell, let the trickle of response turn into a flood so that we may all share a mutual feel- ing of togetherness that no other community can approach.
