By Ken Lusk The News Dear Mrs. Cosgrove, We are pleased to announce that you are the winner of the News' Subscription Drive Contest! You have won the grand prize of a weekend for two in Thunder Bay. Yes, Mrs. Cosgrove of Schreiber won a delightful week- end which includes a weekend stay at the beautiful Valhalla Inn which includes Sunday brunch; a delicious dinner for two (includes a bottle of wine) at the Neebing Road House and two tickets to see Flip Wilson (remember him?) at the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium. : Gone with daughter Mrs. Cosgrove, who lives at Collingwood Court in Schreiber, shared her grand prize with her daughter Colleen Gauthier and the two went on this exciting trip last weekend. "I enjoy going out for a week- end in Thunder Bay," said Mrs. ° Cosgrove. "I have a son there John." Everyone was quite excited that she won the prize including her son, Mike Cosgrove, the reeve of Schreiber.

At one time all 10 lived in Schreiber before growing up and spreading out across the nation. Mrs. Cosgrove enjoys knitting and crocheting but told the News she enjoys family visits the most, which occur quite often, she said. Her oldest son Dean from Dryden, Ontario, has just returned home from a week-long visit to Schreiber. "I couldn't get over it when they called," Mrs. Cosgrove told the News. "My daughter entered the contest as well. She said she was going to win." Well, even though Mrs. Cosgrove had the winning ticket, it looks as though neither mother or daughter lost out in the end. 7 28, -RACE BAY -- SCHREIBER Mrs. Cosgrove Wig roa 'Ae' SUPERIOR SHORELINE- INSURANCE LTD. 825-9492 825-9646.

"The dinner was a success and the food was fantastic. There was a good turnout for all three parts (of the seminar)." The crime prevention seminar was a gala event with guests from across the country and a presenta- tion by none other than the Solicitor General herself, Joan Smith. The seminar was opened on Wednesday, November 4, by Master of Ceremonies, Terry Morris of CBQ (CBC) Radio, Thunder Bay. Sports and drugs The morning session of the seminar, Part 1, saw Inspector John Kopinak of the Niagara Regional Police Force discussing Reeve Resigns full details next week "Sports and Drugs Don't Mix" to invited guests and the graduating VIP classes (Values, Influences © and Peers) of Schreiber and Terrace Bay. The VIPs attended all day as did the law class of the high school. "It was a good presentation and well-received," said Kidder. The "Sports and Drugs 'Don't Mix" program is one Kopinak developed for the Niagara Regional Police Force and it has recently been adopted and endorsed by the Solicitor General of Canada. This program is available to all coaches. Police Chief Kidder said Kopinak is an 18-year veteran of the police force who has been involved in sports. Kopinak saw a need for this program because he has seen ath- letes who have fallen by the way- side due to drugs- athletes who have had great potential, said Kidder. The police chief said represen- tation from all areas was present; police, service clubs, municipal politicians, and provincial politi- cians (represented locally). -Luncheon A luncheon was held at St. Martin of Tours Church prepared by the.Catholic Women's league. Joan Smith , the solicitor-gen- eral of Canada, was there as was George Ramsay who represented the township as a councillor and as acting-reeve in Ollie Chapman's absence.

She highly-praised all people who participate in crime preven- tion programs, Kidder said. Awards It was during lunch that Smith ' presented awards to people who have contributed significantly in this area. (The News will have the names and pictures of the recipi- ents next week). "Crimestoppers is one of the great crime prevention programs available," said Terrace Bay Police Chief Kidder. He said one reason for its suc- cess is that people do not have to be afraid of being identified. ' Anonymity 'is guaranteed when giving information to the police about crimes committed. "People have a fear of being identified," Kidder said. Part 11 of seminar is also a success By Ken Lusk The News The crime prevention seminar held on Nov. 4 had many facets to it.
