Christmas Parade planned The Terrace Bay Vol- unteer Fire Department are attempting to or- ganize a Christmas pa- rade for the town and is intended to take place on Saturday, December 17, 1983. The Fire Department will be entering a fire truck and also arranging for Santa Claus to be in attendance. They are however, in need of participation from other clubs, org- anizations and busi- nesses through either entering a float in the parade or by assisting in some other manner. Anyone expressing an interest in this venture is asked to contact Mau- rice Stark who is the Chairman of the Public Relations Committee for the Terrace Bay Volun- teer Fire Department. Christmas isn't that far away and prepara- tions for such an event should be made now. A Santa Claus Parade would certainly bring the spirit of Christmas to Terrace Bay.

More World's Fairs On The Way New Orleans is arranging a 1984 world's fair, and other fairs are scheduled for Vancouver in British Columbia and for a Tokyo suburb later in the decade. Thanks to the con- cern and quick thinking on the part of Andy Joiner, aged 14 of Ross- port, Marie Geczy of Riverdale, New York will live for many more years. Andy Joiner was em- ployed by Maria for the summer, to do odd chores around her Selim cottage. On August 26, 1983, Maria decided to take a stroll in the water in front of her lakeshore home. Maria had pre- viously experienced problems with her knee, the result of a traffic accident from two years ago. While she was standing in waist-high water, her knee col- lapsed on her, causing her to go down. Three times she attempted to regain her standing position, without suc- cess. "I would have drown- ed unless someone was there to assist me," stated Maria. "Thank God, Andy wasn't far away, and that he heard my feeble shouts for help."' : Acting quickly and responsibly, Andy ran to the scene and lifted Ms. Geczy from the water and on te shore. Upon discovering that much damage was done to her knee, the ambu- lance was summoned and Maria was then transported to the Mc- Causland Hospital. Two days later, she was then flown to Port Arthur General Hospital, as the damage was too exten- sive for the area hospi- tal to deal with. Maria remained in Thunder Bay hospital for about one week and was then transferred back to Mc- Causland Hospital for two or three more days of recuperation. The surgery which was per- formed in Thunder Bay was only temporary. More extensive sur- gery must be done in the very near future. With all the talk and accusations made about the typical teenagers of today, Ms. Geczy felt that Andy deserved recognition for his good Rossport Youth Saves Drowning Victim! Andy lives in Ross- port with his family; his father employed as the lighthouse keeper of Battle Island for the past 13 years. When asked how he felt about the whole epi- sode, Andy replied that he felt good about him- self. "Everyone is talking about me and about what I did. 1 don't think it was that special but I'm glad that Mrs. Gec- zy is all right and that I played an important part in saving her life." Congratultions Andy! It's nice to hear good things about our local youth. On October 10th, Andy will be celebrat- ing his 15th birthday. May we at the "News" wish you a very Happy Birthday and many, many more. } ; OE | Cae red SO ff? -- ( A ]] SY Bes ee ed BB, = & Don't YOU Forget to Register for CRUSADERS (girls & boys 7-14 yrs.)
