Welcome Larry Simons! As of September Ist, the township of Terrace Bay has been under the direction of a new Clerk Co-ordinator-Treasurer- Tax Collector, by the name of Lawrence (Larry) Simons. Larry, his wife Judi, and their three children, aged five, four and two, recently made the move to Terrace Bay from Longlac, where Larry was employed as the Clerk-Treasurer for the town. 2 seme, oe Elem, Vol. 18, No. 34 After seven years in Longlac, Larry and his wife were seriously con- sidering a move; but in order to follow through, three goals had to be met. Those goals in- cluded a better career potential; an improved family and living en- vironment; and it had to be financially stable. When the opportunity arose for the position of Clerk Co-ordinator for Terrace Bay, they felt that this was the type of Public Library Terrace Bay ie move that would be worth while for them. Larry is looking for- ward to enjoying his new career, a new environ- ment and all the advan- tages of living and work- ing in Terrace Bay. "The people here are open and friendly, and so far I love it. The town itself offers more than Longlac was able to. It has a hospital right here plus both levels of edu- cation - elementary and secondary." Ty a: C.C.T FN, Ontario | "I enjoy curling, golf and I intend to get back to the squash courts shortly. Here, I can do that with the facilities being readily avail- able."' On behalf of the town- ship and the people of Terrace Bay, we wish you and your family a warm welcome. We an- ticipate your stay in Ter- race Bay to be very worthwhile. Bonne Chance! y Constable Frank Grimaldi points out the The Schreiber O.P.P. Detachment are again in possession of a 'moving radar system.' It is cur- rently on loan from the Thunder Bay division and is getting quite a lot of use here in the local area. The radar device can be used as a mobile sys- tem and also in station- ary mode. It can easily clock a 'target vehicle' from as far off as 1/2 a mile or more but with the type of hilly and rocky terrain that we have in the local area, the distance is just over 1/4 of a mile. The radar device is not used solely for the purpose of ticketing speeders. It is also used for stopping vehicles for inspection where sus- picion of suspended dri- vers are concerned; for impaired drivers; or al- cchol or drug offenders. Officer Frank Grimal- di of the Schreiber O.P.P. detachment stat- ed that the device is of great importance to the immediate area, due to ' the high number of fatal accidents which have oc- cured recently. Most of these fatalities are the results of high speed drivers. Officer Grimal- di believes that if everyone knows of the existence of the radar unit, then speeders will keep their speeds in check - resulting in safe driving measures. Corporal Don Burton Speeders Beware! says that the mobile radar device is just an- other worthwhile tool which assists the police in their duties. It is a very effective unit and has a very low percent- age of 'failure.' For anyone who is un- familiar with this. de- vice, it runs quite simply like this: the device sends out a radio beam to a moving object (tar- get vehicle) and comes back to the converter unit which is attach- ed to the 'gun.' It is then converted from a radio beam into a_ speed. Everytime that a vio- lator is caught (and of- ten in between), the machine is rechecked. There are four checks features of the mobile radar system. . that are made to the system; two internal checks which are built into the system and are controlled by the flip of a couple of switches; and two tuning forks are then checked which are calculated at 100 km. per hour. If all checks made are correct, the unit is then reset for the next target vehicle. The Schreiber O.P.P. Detachment is hopeful of receiving a mobile radar system of their own, for perma- nent use by their office. The cost of the unit runs around the $3,000 mark but if one life is saved ... the unit has paid for itself. So ...speeders beware! Larry Simons - Terrace Bay's new Clerk-Co-ordinator.

"IVAN" the Mobile Eye Van Thousands of people suffer from serious eye conditions they don't even know they have. Their sight could be sav- ed by a simple eye test. Unfortunately, in many parts of the province, there are no medical personnel available to conduct these tests. But the situation is chang- ing, thanks to the Cana- dian National Institute for the Blind's mobile eye van. The _ self-contained eye care centre, nick- named "Ivan", tra- vels to communities throughout northern On- tario. An opthalmolo- gist and opthalmic as- sistants administer pain- less eye examinations to detect disease or prob- lems that can lead to blindness. All eye ex- aminations are covered by OHIP. The results are im- pressive: over 60 per cent of the 49,169 peo- ple tested over. the past twelve years needed some form of treat- ment. Many diseases of the eye do respond to treat- ment, and early diagno- sis may save your sight. People who are found to have problems, such as cataracts, glaucoma, amblyopis (lazy eye), or diseases of the retina or cornea, are referréd, through their family doctor, to an. eye spe- cialist of their choice for treatment and continued care. A great many people still accept a loss of vision as a part of grow- ing old. Yet some of them can be helped. Others think that be- cause their vision is fine, they couldn't possib- ly have an eye dis- ease. They're wrong. Glaucoma, the major cause of blindness in Ontario, is a good exam- ple. Known as the 'sneak thief of sight", this condition often shows no symptoms at all until it is in its most advanced stages. '"Tvan" is open . to anyone in Schreiber and Terrace Bay, regard- less of age, who is not already under the care of an eye specialist. The CNIB "Ivan" operates in co-operation with the opthalmoligic section of the Ontartio Medical Association. The van is partially funded by the Ministry of Health of Ontario and supported by many service clubs in northern Ontario. The van will be in Terrace Bay from Mon- day, September 19th to Friday, September 23rd. "'Ivan" will be located at The McCausland Hospi- tal and will be co-spon-, sored by the Schreiber and Terrace Bay Kins- men Clubs. For an appointment call 825-3840 between 9:00 a.m. and 12 noon.
