Page 2, News, Tuesday, June 5, 1990 Siudents learn about law in Schreiber court By Monica Wenzlaff Students from Holy Angels School went to provincial court in Schreiber last week to learn about the law. The activity was a first-time experience for the Grade 5 and 6 students, who have been partici- pating in a program at school called "Values, Influences and Peers." V.I.P. educates students about problems such as peer pres- sure, drug addiction, vandalism, and theft. In class, the students have par- ticipated in mock trials to learn about the legal system, and role playing to deal with situations that might arise from peer pres- sure. Before they went to court, O.PP. Constable Bert Logan vis- ited the classroom to explain the trial process to the students. Since they began V.I.P. more than two weeks ago, several other Mr. & Mrs. Mel Metcalf are pleased to announe the engagement of their daughter, Pamela Louise to J Martin Nikolai son of Mr. & Mrs. Esko Saranpaa The wedding is to take place Saturday August 25, 1990, at the Community Church, Terrace Bay, Ontario. guests have spoken with the stu- dents about social problems such as drug addiction and shoplifting. Teacher Maxine Holland said that her students were excited about attending court. "I think they were a little ner- vous," she said, and suggested that many students are intimidat- ed by the legal system because of intense court drama they see on television programs such as L.A. Law. | my § "I'd never been to court before so I didn't know what to do," said Rhonda Larivee, age 12. "I was- n't sure if I was going to do some- thing wrong." During a recess, Judge Roy Mitchell helped the students relax when he allowed them to ask questions about his experience as a judge and the legal system. Students asked questions as what is done to those who are caught lying while under oath. gs & 'i J 2 Separate ~~ Mr. C.

Matys Director of Education Mitchell then explained perjury and the consequences. "The only way for our system to work is for people to be truth- ful," he said. Mitchell also told the students that "the toughest part of the job is sentencing." He discussed alcohol abuse, and revealed that approximately 550 people were killed last year in alcohol related accidents in Ontario. "It's a horrendous degree of misery," he said. Yet the questioning also had a lighter side, and Mitchell broke the ice when asked if anyone had tried to bribe him. You can buy me a coffee any- time," he said. Later, when asked if they would like to be lawyers, many of the students appeared to be inter- ested in such a job. Yet they were reluctant at the idea of becoming judges, and dealing with the pres- sure of having to sentence crimi- nals. Watch out for Bullwinkle By Angie Saunders The News Having had first hand experi- ence with road kills after hitting a deer last week, I asked MNR Conservation Officer Paul Dennis what happens to wounded ani- mals and birds that are unlucky enough to be hit by vehicles on Highway 17. Mr. Dennis said, "It is the responsibility of the person who has hit an animal to notify the Ministry of Natural Resources or the O.PP. as soon as possible." It is possible to claim the ani- mal for yourself. Bear, deer, or moose that have been hit must be reported immediately. You will have to provide your name, the species and sex of the animal, location, time, and date of when the animal was hit. Upon receiv- ing a Certificate of Reporting from MNR you can then possess It. Birds and smaller animals must also be reported. The car- cass has to be delivered to the MNR district office within 5 days of acquisition. The animal will be inspected to make sure the cause of death was from a vehi- cle. The MNR will issue a Certificate of Reporting which then enables the person to eat it or have it mounted. Taxidermists cannot accept road kills without the appropriate certificate. When a bear or moose is seri- ously injured, MNR will kill it to put the animal out of its misery. The meat is donated to an Indian reserve or a needy family. The MNR possess a donor list which they received from the Ministry of Community and Social Services. They will deter- mine the who will receive the meat and deliver it. MNR deliv- ers the meat to the location clos- est to where the animal was struck. Mr. Dennis also mentioned, "You are more likely to hit a moose in the Spring and the Fall." The moose are looking for salt pools from the highway winter run-off. Lactating cows need the salt to produce milk for their calves. The bulls need the salt to help their antlers grow. Flies also drive the moose out into the open where they (flies) are not as bad.

The Engineer will investigate the possibility of purchasing asphalt material for road repairs. and female moose crossing the highway in both seasons but there is a higher incident of cows cross- ing in the Spring and bulls in the Fall. The cows are milking calves in the spring season and need.the extra salt for their milk. The bulls are actively mating in the Fall so they criss-cross the road a lot looking for a mate. About 30- 40 moose are killed each year in the district from Gravel River, east to Dunc Lake. There are only about one or two bear hit each year and occasional- ly a deer around the Rossport to Gravel area. Paul Dennis had a few tips for avoiding accidents with moose: - Slow down at night and don't outdrive your headlights. - Just because a moose has already crossed don't assume they won't cross back. The headlights and noise will confuse them. - The eyes of moose and deer are reflected as a greenish yellow at night. Bear are not as reflec- tive. - Moose crossing signs are there for a reason. These are put up in well-used travel corridors where moose have been hit often. Take extra care for a few kilome- ters beyond the sign. Travellers should take extra care at night. The damage to a vehicle resulting from hitting a bear, moose or deer can be quite extensive. Solo passage cont'd from page 1 the wilderness," he said, "and from this when I'm done, I'll be a different person." Robbins added that he hopes to bring back a part of this trip, applying the attitudes, skills and perceptions gained to his every- day life. Robbins is covering all the expenses himself. As a fundrais- er, Robbins is coordinating a newsletter update on his trip to be sent out six times during the jour- ney. The money from the newslet- ter is not expected to cover much of the cost of the voyage which could run as high as $12,000. 60 Day 90 Day 1 Year i « Government of Canada - Treasury Bills (minimum purchase of 25,000) 12.92% 13.13% 180 Day 13.23% 13.00% a Also available: Guaranteed Investment Certificates (Canada Deposit Insured - 1 to5 years) Rates subject to change.
