At that meeting the Council ap- proved the purchase of a new typewriter for the Library and the ap- pointment of Montey Paget as the town engi- neer for this summer. In reviewing the min- utes of the Special Meet- ing Reeve Speer said, "'As you know I had to leave part way through the finance committee meeting. I did not know oe that a Special Meeting of the Council would be called immediately after to deal with engineer- ing. I would have liked to have had some input into that decision. I have had. some' concerns about the. way we are handling engineering and I have discussed them with contractors over the last couple of years. I have been talk- ing to Nipigon about how they handle their engineering, and as re- cently as last Saturday I discussed it. with the clerk in Schreiber. Then Bay att I open up my Minutes and there it is, the matter has already been dealt with. I did not have an opportunity to voice my concern or place this information before the Council. I prefer that we all have an opportunity to deal with those sub- jects."' Councillor Bill Hous- ton concurred that he also was concerned about the role of Special Meetings. "I think the Special Meeting was de- signed for something absolutely essential and urgent. Certainly the Wednesday, April 20, 1983 Gymnastics Invitational Meet Betty Tate said that the local gymnasts Terrace Bay high school was the site of an Invitational Gymnastics Meet in which 95 athletes competed. The competition was a Qualifying Meet for the Provincial Championships and attracted Clubs from Dryden, Manitouwadge, and Kenora and three Clubs from Thunder Bay. Lécal Coach performed well. "Danny O'Keefe of course is a Tyro National. Krista Ditchfield performed especially well in the Vault. Good performances were put in by Sandra McDougall, Bonnema.'"'

Councillor Ollie Chapman chaired the finance committee meet- ing. She said, "As I understand it with Mon- tey Paget, it was a question of 'time. He called the office here and he wanted to know so that he could make plans."' Correspondence Under correspond- ence, a statement by Jack Stokes on the com- pletion of the Allan Re- port into the Schreiber school closure and other problems facing north- ern school boards was read. The Ministry of Com- munity and Social Ser- vices wrote to the Coun- cil to inform them that the election of the bud- get board to review the budget of the Children's Aid Society would be held soon. Review Board members are elected by the district municipali- ties on a mailed ballot. The Ministry asked for nominations to stand for election to the Review Board.

The London Trip "by KELLY MCGUIRE Well, many of the pre- dictions that I made two weeks ago about the London trip did not hap- pen, but a few other incidents that did occur were almost as disaster- ous. Panic reigned in the train on the way to To- ronto as one student temporarily lost her ticket under the seat. Upon arrival in Toron- to, another student was last in line to collect his luggage. However, Via Rail had other ideas as his luggage had not even reached Toronto. To date, his luggage is still on vacation. But, the group still managed to enjoy many sightseeing tours as well as the unexpected ad- ventures. On March 27, the group flew out of Toronto for London, but they had to stop in Montreal to pick up pas- sengers. The Boeing 747 was grounded for eight hours: as the weather was very stormy. The captain informed the passengers that a flight to New York City was necessary for a crew change. Many parents were surprised to receive phone calls at 7:00 a.m. with excited voices' that queries, "Guess where I am?" The group landed at Heathrow Airport on March 28 at 9:00 p.m. (London time). They were then greeted by a scholair guide, who had transportation ready for them en route to their hotel. The next two days were then spent on guid- ed tours. On March 29, after their first conti- nental breakfast, the group was given a three- hour, information- packed guided tour' of the main sights in Lon- don. During this tour, the guide brought them into Westminster Ab- bey, and St. Paul's Ca- thedral. During the afternoon, the group went back to West- minister Abbey to fur- ther explore in it. On the second plan- ned tour the following day, the group was tak- en to Hampton Court and then out to Windsor Castle. Some of the sect- ions in Windsor Castle were closed off for pre- parations as the Queen was expected' the fol- lowing day for the East- er weekend. Other expeditions that the group did on its own included a boat ride down the Thames River to Greenwich. They also took the train to Do- ver, where they boarded a hovercraft to Calais, continued on page 13
