At the regular meet- ing of the Lake Super- ior Board of Education held in Marathon on December Sth, the Board established a spe- cial Ad-Hoc Transporta- tion Committee with di- rections to study and make recommendations to the Board at as early a date as possible. This committee's mandate was brought about due to the recom- mendations passed down from the Coro- - ner's Jury which was recently convened in Schreiber last month. Trustee Committee members were appoint- ed as follows: Gerald Armour, Terrace Bay Trustee (Chairman); Joan Nugent, Bay Trustee; Don Bur- ton, Schreiber Trustee; and Paul Cebrario, Schreiber Trustee. The Ad-Hoc Trans- portation Committee has now met on two sepa- rate occasions. Meet- ing #1 was held at the Board Office in Schrei- ber on Thursday, De- cember 8th with all members in attendance. The mandate of the Terrace | Committee was review- ed and clarified. The Committee determined to hold an initial infor- mation session with the Transportation Officer of the Lakehead Board of Education. Meeting #2 was held in Thunder Bay on Mon- day, December 12th, with Mr. Pentti Kark- kainen, Transportation Manager of the Lake- head Board of Educa- tion, at which the prac- tices and procedures of that Board with regard to. student transporta- tion were reviewed. Terrace Bay Arena back On December 19th, 10:00 a.m., the Terrace Bay Council held a spe- cial meeting to consid- er the capital expendi- ture of $15,000 for a new 50 h.p. compressor. On the afternoon of December 14th, the number 2 compressor at the Recreation Centre seized and went out of service for the third time in' the past month. At that point it had run for approximately 47 hours since being re-installed after a complete rebuild- ing by the company Cimco. Cimco could not provide Council with an explanation of the recur- rent breakdowns. The compressor was then dismounted and shipped to their plant in Winni- peg. After much discus- sion between Council, staff and Recreation Di- rector Terry Bryson, it was resolved that the only viable option for action in this situation was the acquisition of a new compressor to re- place the malfunctioning one. Terry Bryson com- pleted negotiations with Cimco via telephone and the terms that were agreed upon are as fol- lows: (1) Cimco will supply and install a new SO h.p. Microm compressor for the price of $15,000.00. (2) Cimco will write off the existing repair bills for past work on the compressor which total- led $6,000.00. (3) The malfunction- ing compressor will be kept by Cimco at their Winnipeg plant. If they decide to have it repair- ed and returned they will be charged accord- ingly. If Council de- cides against the re- turn of said compres- sor it will be retained by Cimco as a trade-in. No amount has been estab- lished for the trade-in value, because the ex- tent of the damage is unknown. (4) The new compres- sor comes with a one-_ year, 100 per cent war- ranty on all parts and labour. This warranty also covers travel ex- penses for Cimco staff to As a result of those two initial organiza- tional meetings, the Committee has de- termined to expand its membership to include two local school princi- pals, two students and two parents. These addi- tional six members will hopefully allow the Committee to bring a broad base of informa- tion, interest and con- cern to bear on the final recommendations to be made to the Lake Sup- erior Board of Educa- tion. The next meeting will be of the expand- come to Terrace Bay to make necessary re- pairs. (S) If Council de- cides -to make major changes to the ice plant which involve replacing the new compressor, Cimco will accept its return as a_ trade-in, applying the appropriate depreciation to the pur- chase price. Ia order to minimize the impact of the latest shutdown, Cimco was authorized to ship the compressor and to send an installer to Terrace Bay. Both arrived dur- ing the week prior to Christmas. Installation was made following Council decision to authorize the expendi- ture. Tune up your heating system by DIANA POOKE Yearly "tune-ups" of your home-heating system are just as im- portant as the tune-ups you have on your car. And they are done for about the same reason: a well maintained fur- nace, like a well main- tained car, will perform better, and with less fuel consumption. A furnace mainten- ance check should be done once a year, either in the fall or the spring while the furnace is still . working. When the fur- nace is not in use, soot deposits become damp and are difficult to clean off. - When the service man calls, he will clean your furnace, provide rou- tine maintenance and perform some tests to tell you how well your furnace is performing. A furnace-efficiency test can help you find out what improvements should be made to in- crease your heating sys- tem's efficiency. While tuning a heat- ing system requires a knowledgeable _ profes- sional, there are some things that you can do yourself to keep your home-heating system operating in top condi- tion. Dave Kowal of Shell Canada offers the following advice:0 ¢ Check air filters once a month. If dirty, replace disposable ones with new 'ones of an appropriate size or wash permanent filters in soap and warm water. e Lubricate the fan motor. © Check the air duct outlets on a forced-air system to see that they are free from dust and dirt. © Don't allow the fuel level in your tank to fall too low. Corrosion on the inside of the tank can result in sludge on the bottom of the tank which you don't want circulating in the sys- tem. As well, if the tank is empty, the pump pumps air, causing the motor to overheat. The best course of action is to have a repu- table fuel oil supplier look after your fuel oil deliveries. A supplier will keep track of weath- er conditions and tem- peratures and calculate your likely oil consumpt- ion and then routinely deliver fuel to your tank before it becomes an emergency. Most good fuel oil suppliers are on call for emergencies 24 hours a day to ensure that you and your home are kept warm and com- fortable all through the winter. Schreiber Winter Carnival There will be an "im- portant" Schreiber Win- ter Carnival planning and organizing meeting on Tuesday, January 17, 1984, 7:00 p.m. at the Recreation Complex Meeting Room 2.

Ad-Hoc Transportation Further informa- ary of 1984. In conjunction with the topic of transporta- tion, approval was given for the immediate hir- ing of an Operations Manager for the Board, on a term basis, whose duties would include those of a Transporta- tion and Safety Offi- cer. This was approved at a special meeting of the Board which was held in Marathon on Tuesday, December 13th.

In the overall financial pic- ture, it means at worst, that this amount would have to be raised out of next year's taxation. In short, the township of Terrace Bay can a this type of expendi- ture. _ Members of Council expressed concern over a back-up~ compressor, should problems arise in the future.
