The event was moved to the Schreiber recreation centre because of the cold weather, but the rain stayed away and picnic events, including the children's tug of war (above), went off without a hitch. ; Inside Community briefs--McCaus land has a sur- TIS cascevirnscacessoel Larry Sanders --Casinos aren't going to help NWO.......5 Lakeshore TV part of biggest ever sale in cable industry by Darren MacDonald The News Lakeshore Community TV, which has an office in Terrace Bay, has been sold to Shaw Cablesystems. Lakeshore, which was owned by Cablecasting Ltd., was part of the deal that saw Cablecasting being sold to Shaw, a sale subject to approval by the Canadian Television and Telecommunications Commis- ° sion (CRTC). "This was a very friendly takeover," says Lakeshore's Vice-President and General Manager Larry Hindley. "There's no animosity at all. From what I've heard, Shaw Operates in a manner similar to the way Cablecasting oper- ates." As part of the sale agree- ment, which was signed March 13, Hindley says they have been assured that little or no staff changes will be made.

Emergency Tiered Response, which is what the newly-implemented system is called, is the initiative of Patrick Dingwell, president of North Shore Ambulance Ser- vices in Schreiber. "Before what would happen is that the OPP would arrive at the scene of an accident and see that people were hurt and call an ambulance, or they would see that fuel was spilt and call the fire department," says Dingwell. "And there would be an awful delay, especially when people were hurt and had to wait for medical attention." The system will be used only when all three services may be required, such as a traf- fic accident, says Dingwell. "It's not for general emer- gencies, like when someone cuts a finger or gets hurt at the ball field," he says. "Normally it will be used for car acci- dents, when people are trapped, there's extrication, fuel is spilt, that sort of situation." In addition to the Schreiber OPP and North Shore Ambu- lance, the Terrace Bay Police, McCausland 'Ambulance, and the Schreiber and Terrace Bay Fire Departments are also par- ticipating in the tiered response system. "If the police get the call first, they will call us; if I get the call first, I will call the police and the emergency res- cue unit from the fire depart- ment, if the fire department get the call first, the will call us," says Dingwell. The emergency rescue unit is part of the Schreiber Fire Department, and is responsible continued on page 2 OS DIANNE O'NEILL TERRACE BAY INSURANCE LTD.
