These thefts occur across the entire district, and in addition to chainsaws and portable generators, the majority of these thefts include skidders and skidder parts. These parts include tires, wheels, tire chains, winches and choker chains. Often, entire engines and transmissions or parts of these are removed. At times, complete skidders have been stolen from job sites on flatbed tractor trailer. units. In addition, oil, grease, and tools are also often stolen. Information received indicates that often the stolen parts or units have been transported to other parts of the district or province for use. The majority of these thefts, although they occur throughout the entire district, mainly concentrate in the area within a 150- kilometre radius of the City of Thunder Bay. The annual value of this type of theft amounts to thousands of dollars, and very little is recovered.

Marathon has grown in just two or three years, from 1,000 people to around 5,000 people. ' The town has had problems adjusting to the change in growth. The town has had problems with traffic and service sector problems. Facilities that once catered to 1,800 people now have to handle 5,000 people. There are problems in every aspect, such as the schools, the hospital and the bank. He said in Terrace Bay's case, he would like the town to gain economically. What Mitchell has proposed to council on economic develop- ment is just "an idea for future consideration" so what has hap- pened in Marathon will not hap- pen in Terrace Bay: Mitchell would like the idea to be pursued if the rest of council believes it should be. He believes the liaison meetings with Kimberly-Clark and Minnova Inc. are a positive step in what. could be the beginning of thoughtful economic planning for the future of Terrace Bay "History has shown," he said, "that one-industry towns are more vulnerable" to economic prob- lems.
