Highway accidents Three major highway accidents have occured in the area in the last two weeks. A fatal accident took place 1.2 kilometres east of the Pays Plat river bridge at 3:45 p.m. on June 18. A 1977 Honda driven by Michael Daniel Halls of Etobi- coke was involved in an accident with a tractor trailer. Halls, the driver of the Honda, was killed. The Honda _ was owned by William F. Bambridge who was a passenger in the ve- hicle. Bambridge, age 21, was taken to McCausland Hospital in Terrace Bay with a fractured collar bone and released on Sunday. The accident occured when the Halls vehicle, which was westbound, crossed the centre line of the highway and collided with the right side of a 1978 Mack tractor trailer driven by John Peter Squitti, age 33, of Thunder Bay. The tractor trailer was owned by Lakehead Freightways. Squitti suffered no injuries in the accident. $6000 damage was done to the truck. Schreiber OPP said that no charges had been laid and that there would be no inquest. Another accident occured along the same stretch of highway on Tuesday, June 21 at 7:30 p.m. about 1.8 kilo- metres west of the Pays Plat river bridge. A tractor flatbed rig carry- ing a front-end loader collided with the rear of another tractor trailer at . foot of Caver's Hill. The 1978 Mack tractor was owned by B & J Equipment Rentals of Thunder Bay and driven by Robert A. Kangas, age 27, of Thunder Bay. The rig was eastbound at the top of Caver's Hill when it suffered a brake failure and went out of control. The truck gathered speed as it went down the hill and collided with the rear of a 1981 freightliner owned by W.M. Moving and Storage BC Ltd. The driver of the second truck was James Harold Butterworth, age 26, of Surrey British Colum- bia. After striking the lead truck the payloader on the flatbed rig broke loose and_ substantial- ly damaged the cab of the truck. The truck jack-knifed and travelled down the highway for a considerable distance. Three other vehicles were involved with the accident, but the investi- gation is not yet com- pleted and all the details are not clear. The jack-knifed rig entered the north ditch of the highway and rolled-over. The vehicle was completely de- molished with substan- tial damage to the front- end loader. The driver of the truck that was struck, James Harold Butterworth, sustained injuries to the back of his head but did not require hospitaliza- tion. Robert A. Kangas was taken to McCaus- land Hospital in Terrace Bay with injuries that were not believed to be serious. Schreiber OPP are continuing an in- vestigation into the acci- dent. Also on June 19 an accident occured just west of the Aquasabon River bridge in Terrace Bay. A truck driven by Frank A. Costa, age 17, of Schreiber rolled-over at 3:45 p.m. The driver was hospitalized but not seriously injured. A passenger in the ve- hicle, Cindy Thompson age 24 of Terrace Bay, was hospitalized and subsequently trans- ferred with major in- juries to Thunder Bay. The Schreiber OPP advise motorists that there have been a number of collisions recently involving moose and a bear. They advise motorists to drive with this in mind and to exercise caution espe- cially around the hours of sunset. ' School Board says NO to Carnival The Lake Superior Board of Education met in the high school in Terrace Bay on Monday of last week. Mike Rust of the local Kinsmen Club appeared before the Board and asked their permission to use the athletic field be- tween the high school and the public school as the site ot a midway- carnival on July 8 and 9. rust said that the Kins- men sponsor the carni- val annually to raise money for their public service activities. He said that last year they had attempted to use the playfield behind St. Martin's school but that the attempt was not very successful. "They had to leave half of their equipment elsewhere because there wasn't room to set it up. That meant that they didn't make as much money as they could have.We get a percentage of the mon- ey for public service projects as we could have."' Rust said that the alternative to using the Board's field as to use the field behind the Texaco station on the Mill Road. "We don't want to do that because some of the little kiddies walk by themselves to the midway, and that means that they would be walking across the highway bridge over the tracks or across the tracks". Board Chairman Mike Reid thanked Rust for his presentation and in- formed the Board that there was a policy in place prohibiting cir- cuses and carnivals on the field. Reid said that the policy had been in- troduced several years ago after an unathorized and unsponsored carni- val had set up on the athletic field beside the high school in Schreiber. The carnival had not cleaned the field up adequately and the Board instituted a policy forbidding any further carnivals on its proper- ty. Mr. Rust told the Board members that there had never been any similar problems in Terrace Bay. He assured the members that the Kinsmen Club would undertake complete res- ponsibility to see that the field was properly cleaned up as it always had been in the past. He went on to suggest that it was unfair that the Terrace Bay service club should be held respon- sible for something that had happened in another community and in which they were not involved. Board members raised the questions' of liability and possible damage to the field. They were informed that the Kinsmen Club was insured up to $2 million and would be carrying all the liability. They were also told that continued on page 8 Schreiber Council The Schreiber Coun- cil, at its regular month- ly meeting, struck its 1983 budget, voted to particpate in a doctor recruitment program being sponsored by Mc- Causland Hospital, and made the first moves towards the establish- ment of an Economic Development Board. Reeve Harold Fischer presided over the meeting, with Council- lors Burton Phillips, Lar- ry Dunwoody, Mike Cos- grove, and Ed Borutski in attendance. The Minutes of the previous regular meeting held on May 10 were reviewed and adopted. Responding to a question, the Clerk informed the Council that work is progressing on the Property Stan- dards By-law. BUDGET Under Committee Reports, the Finance Committee presented its Report on the Budget and recommended that the 1983 mill rates be struck. The new mill rates were adopted on a motion by Councillor Larry Dunwoody, seconded by Councillor Mike Cosgrove. The Township's increase will be going up 4.03 per cent with an educational tax increase of 6.3 per cent for an over-all in- crease of 10.33 per cent. Commenting on the Fin- ance Committee's work Reeve Fischer said, "It's a good budget'. Mike Cosgrove re- ported for the Property Committee. He said that the Chimo Club had requested the installa- tion of new carpeting in the upstairs apartment. The Committee recom- mended: approval of the request. Authorization Canada in principal was given for the purchase and installation of new car- peting at a cost of less than $600. ~ Councillor Burton Phillips reported on be- half of the Roads Com- mittee. Phillips said that, "On June 20th the brushing of thé new streets will start." "'Cal- cium will be put on the streets every two weeks." The Council was in- formed that CP Rail has agreed to allow the Town to store winter sand on their property. CP has also agreed in principle to pay a con- nection fee to the Town- ship for the right to connect to the Bruns- wick St. storm sewer. The damaged guard rail at Columbia and Subway Streets will be repaired as soon as 8 x 8 posts are continued on page 10 Canada Day 1983
