Sportsmen are pleased with the trout fishing this year in Lake Superior. The Lake Superior trout catches are increasing , whéther that fact attributes to the weather conditions this summer or not is ques- tionable. Some think that the many electric storms this year has had alot to do with the trout swimming closer to the surface of the water. The sport fishermen catches his limit in a few minutes this year. Many of the trout caught are of natural species, born and bred in the water. They are not the marked trout planted in the lake from hatcheries. Old Indian trails show tugged and pleasing camp- sites in this beautiful and ancient. North Western iv Canada Health and Welfare country known as On- tario's great North-west Country. There is great ap- peal to tourists because of this rugged, mountaineous country. The hidden inland lakes that offer speckled trout, bass, and pickeral supply the main course for their outdoor meal. The Objibwa and Cree Indians have left many a trail by caves and heights of land for the camera man to follow. Stone and cement dams with their gates open and the dam or catwalk built by early lumber companies are in fairly good state yet on some of our northern streams. Specklers and other fish spawn below these dams. The scenery is beyond description where these dams are still stan- ding , but many of these dams are no longer in use as logs are transported over good highways by trucks to the mills in the area. These old Indian trails hold great fascinations and hold great superstitions of early days to the tourists. This was formerly a great Indian country where a cave had ice in it year round. One doesn't see many Indians using these trails today. The Indians have gone modern like the white people by travelling about the highways by truck, car , motorcycles or bus. They keep to their canoes and snowshoes when needed according to the prevailing weather and season. Many hundreds of years ago the Indians built halfway shelters from one fishing or trapping area to another. Then of course, they discovered ores such as copper and gold and thus, made stone and cop- per artifacts which they could use when hunting and fishing. All kinds of stories are handed down from genera- tion to generation. Sup- posedly in the 1890's, the Canada snow was so deep that on- ly the bobbing caribou antler could be seen from a high hill or tree as they pushed ahead to get to the islands. The story goes that the Indians and wolves slaughtered many of this large herd. The hunters hauled the meat home for their consumption while the hungry wolves devoured the downed animals on the spot. Now that gold is highly priced , prospectors are lured to the north in hopes of finding some of this metal. The real riches are garnered by who go into this wild country are found by photograph and com- mune with the natural rugged wonders of the natural beauty of the great northern part of Ontario. Although some of the old Indian trails are obliterated by time and brush growing over them, it is quite sim- ple to follow the old route and easily probe into the fringes of the old superstitious wilderness area. Trees were blazed along the trails at one time, but as time goes on these markings have disap- peared. There is supposed to be a lost gold mine somewhere north of the village; many Indians and white men have sought its 'where-abouts but were never able to locate the site although remains of old log shanties were found about 35 years ago but they could be the remains of a trappers shanty. The old trails edge by small lakes and runs along beside gurglying streams and small water falls but never a site of this fairy gold mine that is supposed to be very rich. Many what is known as Glory holes have been found that end- ed up in hard work and very little wealth. The forested hillsides carved over centuries ago by the elements, and sheer cliffs Santé et Bien-étre social were a challenge to many Indians, fur traders and the lonely prospector. There might come a day in the future that the mine is a reality and will be found with all its' riches there for some. lucky person. We have the harbour to accom- modate heavy shipping if that day ever appears over the horizon. Drugs As parents, you face the constant challenge of keep- ing informed about the various drugs that can harnr your children. Although most people know about the dangerous effects of alcohol, - mari- juana and cocaine, there are several less well-known drugs that should not be overlooked because of the threat they pose to young people. Commonly referred to as "Killer weed", "*green", or "angel dust", PCP can have devastating effects on your child. Usually smoked in tobacco or marijuana cigarettes, PCP can distort reality so drastically for users that symptoms closely resemble those of mental illness. Users can become violent and destructive towards themselves and others. ESD. is also" "a hallucinogen that distorts reality. "Acid" is a liquid that is usually swallowed, often after having been placed in a sugar cube or blotter paper. Users can suffer from wide mood swings, and can feel fear, nausea and other forms of extreme discomfort. Results can be so severe that complete emotional breakdown can result. Derived from peyote, a cactus that grows in the southwestern part of the United States, mescaline is another mind-altering Canada Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, August 6, 1986, page 5 Is your child ready for school? The days preceding the start of a new school year are always filled with the proper mixture of excite- ment, fear and anticipation. How many of us can vivid- ly remember these feel- ings? And, how many of us-long out of school-still experience feelings of an- ticipation when September rolls around! School days are such an integral part of our lives, that the feelings which car- ried us through those days have a tendency to linger for many years. Generation after genera- tion, the excitement ex- perienced at the anticipa- tion of intellectual as well as social enlightement never changes. Love of learning is in many ways an intangible concept. Hard to define, and even harder to instill, we constantly seek ways to impart it to our children. Many educators believe that there are some very definite steps that one can take to help children res- pond to new thoughts and ideas. Early childhood educa- tion plays a big part in how receptive to school your child will be. However, parental influence, what the child preceives his or her parents as feeling about the learning process, and hallucinogen. Sometimes calles 'mesc" or "cac- tus", mescaline is usually swallowed directly in thin slices or boiled in water which is then drunk. Users go into a dreamlike state, with heightened sensations and a feeling of unreality. Pentobarbital, secobar- bital and amobartial-all classed as barbitures-are drugs which have a general depressant effect on the central nervous system. Usually swallowed in pill or capsule form, bar- biturates calm tensions and relieve anxiety, so they can quickly lead to dependency. Heavy doses can impair judgement, , cause drowsiness and confusion, and noticeably slur speech. Overdoses can result in death, and the risk is great- ly increased when_bar- biturates are taken with alcohol. the child's actual schooling experience, are the major factors in determining how and if children will develop a love of learning. Some children. start school before they are either emotionally or in- tellectually ready. These children, who can be in- tellectually very bright, might have a difficult time relating to adults or other children. Also, a child might become bored with certain tasks and have dif- ficulty keeping his or her attention focused in a specific direction. The reasons for having your child wait to start school are varied: however, it is important for parents. to know that they have options when the time comes for them to decide.
