Are you concerned with crime? If you're a resident of Terrace Bay, and are concerned with any as- pect of crime within your town, then listen up. The Terrace Bay. Police Department is propos- ing to set up several community oriented pro- grammes with regards to the prevention of crime in our local area. In order to assist the Police Department in their endeavours of de- termining which pro- jects will benefit your community best, your input will be required. During the next few weeks, two co-op high school students who are working in conjunction with the Terrace Bay Police, will be canvass- 'ing the homes in Ter- race Bay with a questionnaire. The two students involved in this unique venture are Lori Malashewski and Dar- lene Slawson, and be- tween the two of them, they will be requesting your assistance in filling in the questionnaire, so that they can tally the results and determine the most appropriate programmes for the town of Terrace Bay. The questionnaire will take up approximately 15 minutes of your time and will involve such questions as: 1. Home security 2. Your ideas and op- inions on police/public relations. 3. Whether or not you feel that there is a problem of crime within the town and if so, where do you think the problems are. Both young ladies will carry proper identifica- tion on their persons and both are seriously con- cerned with the subject at hand. Please assist them and your local Police Department in this project. Updates will follow. Wednesday, March 14, 1984. Vol. 19 No. 11 errace Ba Crier y Plasticine Styrofoam and Sticks by LYNNE BADGER The halls of St. Mar- tin's School are lined with scenes of the Que- bec Winter Carnival. Mrs. Joanne. Mikal- auskas' grade 7 and 8 class, after reading about the events and seeing a film of the Quebec Winter Carni- val, were instructed to choose a carnival event and make it come to life. Karen Fournier and Kerri McColeman des- cribed how they and Dawn Wawia construct- ed "Le Glissade", the public slide. Supplies were requested and the fun began. The result was a three foot long styrofoam slide support- ed by popsicle sticks, complete with coloured lights and plasticine figures on _ brightly painted cardboard sleds. Derek Boucher and his friends David La- londe, Shawn Prill and Denis Jean were most interested in the snow- mobile races during the carnival. Their ice track and snowmobiles were created' entirely out of their heads. Composed of plasticine and small sticks, their project de- picts an actual race com- plete with accidents, a winner's podium, Bon- homme, the carnival mascot and a hot dog refreshment stand. Besides these, there were seven. other equally detailed and creative projects. The St. Lawrence River canoe race was depict- ed by two groups, one on a painted surface and the other in tinted blue water. Both were com- 'plete with styrofoam ice Public Library Terrace Bay POT 2WO floes, canoes, and spec- tators. The Ice Castle, where most of the enter- tainment takes place was recreated, complete with lights and Bon- homme, the "Spirit of Good Humour" wearing his voyageur sash. A sugar shack, a selection of snow sculptures and a . cottage with a figure depicting the "Night of Candles" were also on display. Each project had a small written des- cription of it so that parents on '"'Interview Night" and the young- er children at the school could appreciate the ef- forts of the grade 7 and 8 class. Mrs. Mikalauskas is concerned that her stud- ents not only learn a new language but discover another heritage as well. She feels that a better understanding of the French Canadian cul- ture ahd history will make the language that they learn from books, more real. Many of the -- Ontario CeCe Tete lis students may never go to Quebec or an area where French culture is predominant so Mrs. Mikalauskas chose the Quebec Winter Carni- val as a project for the students which would best exemplify the French Canadian way of life. Derek Boucher, Kerri McColeman and Karen Fournier all felt that it was a "'fun, interesting"' way to learn, especially sat the actual time the Carnival is happening. It ends the Tuesday before Lent which begins on March 7. They also en- joyed sharing the pro- jects with the rest of the school saying that the younger students seem- ed to be filled with "awe" and had a very difficult time _ re- fraining from touching the figurines. When ask- ed if they would like to see the Carnival for themselves, they all agreed that they would. Meet Darlene Slawson (left) and Lori Malashewski (right).
