Grey Hound bus hits moose at Terrace Bay A Greyhound bus col- lided with a moose out- side of Terrace Bay last Friday. The accident occured just after the bus had left the bus depot at the Recreation Centre at about 10:45 p-m. The bus was east- bound on the flat stretch of highway between the mill road junction and the airport when the moose emerged from the ditch and was struck by the left front fen- der of the bus. The moose was killed, but driver Bruce Evan Hill of Thunder Bay and his thirty-two passen- gers were uninjured. The 1980 MCI passen- ger bus sustained about $1000 worth of damage but continued onto White River after the accident without fur- ther incident. Schreiber OPP have also logged several oth- er interesting occuren- ces over the last month. Helicopter Landing On June 22 a heli- copter was forced down on the highway be- tween Schreiber and Gravel River because of heavy weather. The helicopter was piloted by Ivan Blackburn of Sault Ste. Marie and was owned by Ranger Helicopter. Blackburn was flying the chopper from Red Lake to Blind River when he encoun- tered heavy fog along the shore of Lake Super- ior. The fog became so bad that Blackburn was forced to find a place to set down, and managed to land the helicopter at the Scenic Lookout on Caver's Hill. After the fog cleared Blackburn took off with the copter and continued on his flight to Blind River. The Schreiber Opp provided traffic control to enable him to safely take off. Escapee Caught Last May 27 the Marathon OPP Detach- ment informed the Schreiber Detachment that a man had driven away from a Marathon Service Station without paying for gas he had purchased. The Schrei- ber Detachment and the Terrace Bay Police Force co-operated in set- ting up a road check at - the mill road intersect- ion in Terrace Bay. The police intercept- ed the car at the road check, but instead of stopping the car swung down the mill road with the police cruisers in pursuit. The car and its driver were finally brought to a halt against a chain link fence at the foot of the mill road. Terrace Bay constable Ken Davis suffered mi- nor injuries in the inci- dent. The driver of the ve- hicle identified himself as Gary Adams of De- troit, Michigan. Adams was charged with dan- gerous driving and possession of stolen property. He was tried in Thunder Bay, found guilty on the charges and sentenced to sixty days in the District Jail. After an investigation involving the RCMP, the OPP, the Terrace Bay Force and Canada Immi- gration the driver Gary Adams of Detroit was finally identified as Kevin M. Poulton, age 19, of Sault Ste. Marie. Poulton was wanted on several outstanding warrants in Sault Ste. Marie. While Poulton was being escorted to the Provincial Courthouse he escaped custody and disappeared. He was subsequently arrested for another incident by the Sault Ste. Marie po- lice, who established his real identity and that he had escaped custody in Thunder Bay and was wanted by the Sault Ste. Marie police them- selves on the original outstanding warrants. Poulton will be re- turned to Thunder Bay to serve his sentence and to face new charges of escaping custody.

Seniors bike into Schreiber A group of about fif- ty senior citizéns who are bicycling their way across Canada reached Schreiber a week ago Saturday. The Seniors are biking from the Paci- fic to the Atlantic coasts to prove that seniors can be just as physically active as anyone else and to heighten inter- est among senior citi- zens in staying in good physical shape. The touring group left Nipigon early on Satur- day morning with the first cyclist reaching Schreiber about two. thirty in the afternoon. The Chimo Club and the Schreiber Parks and Recreation Committee hosted an informal sup- per for the group. The hearty and robust ath- letes said that they es- pecially appreciated the warm welcome that they received in Schreiber while they stayed over- night at the Travel Rest Trailer Park. After sup- per some of the mem- bers of the group turned in for the night, but others took in the Box- ing Match at the Arena and later the-- Men's Fastpitch Dance.
