In one instance, an adhesive used in mining was found and mistaken for dynamite. In another case, °15 sticks of actual dynamite was found one mile north of Bear Lake Trail by Patrick Halonen and David Mayry of Schreiber. Police made arrangements with their technical identifica- tion unit in Thunder Bay and the dynamite was disposed of. Police report that the sticks had been in the bush for quite some time. Extreme caution must be used if you think you have come across dynamite while in the bush, or anywhere. Man charged for theft Terrace Bay--The Terrace Bay Police Force reports that one man has pleaded guilty in Thunder Bay court on two charges stemming from inci- dents in Terrace Bay. Ermest Todd, 25, who admit- ted to being a male prostitute since 1980, was travelling by Greyhound bus through Terrace Bay. He attempted to steal another passenger's suitcase but was confronted by the driver. Todd fled the bus and pro- ceeded to Moore's of Terrace Bay where he then stole a dress. From Moore's Todd went to Costa's food store where he stole a small amount of food and assorted women's items. Terrace Bay Constable Bernie Chasse arrested and charged Todd, who had been concealing a small knife, with theft. Terrace Bay Police report that Todd has a lengthy criminal record and has only been out of jail for three weeks in the last 10 years. Todd, who has several alias- es, has also been experiencing a sexual identification problem as well as numerous other mental problems. Todd is undergoing hormone injections to make him a woman and has been involved in violent and sexual crimes and arson; he burned down his own mother's house. Police classify him as a very dangerous person. Police told the News this information is mean to inform, NOT ALARM the community. Police hope this information will make citizens aware of the types of people that do come through our area so that caution is used with strangers. Economic committee discussed at meeting At the annual meeting of the Aguasabon Chamber of Commerce, one of the main themes that came out was a call from a local businessman to get a economic development committee here. Gord Moorey, local business- man and chamber member, urged chamber President Michael Moore to get an economic devel- opment committee established. Moore said he realizes the need but said there is a population factor that must be understood. An EDC can only be established if a community has a population of 4,000 or more. If a committee was formed, it would have to be a joint venture between Schreiber and Terrace Bay. Town councils also have to take an active role for an EDC to 'be established. If the town councils notified the appropriate ministry of thei support, Moore believes the idea would be considered; if it was accepted, 75 per cent of the cost of establishing a committee would be funded, Moore said. _. Moore commented that even if pulp prices stayed reasonable for the next two years, there is nc guarantee after that. - "We can't sit and depend on the world price of pulp," he said. Moore believes pressure should be put on municipal gov- ernments to establish an EDC. Other discussion Moore started the meeting with a brief update on the cham- ber's activities in its inaugural year. The executive was formed in the fall of 1986, and although By Ken Lusk The News there were some. resignations, members were kept busy. The shop locally campaign and honouring the new year's baby were two events the chamber _ undertook. An impact study on_ the Kimberly-Clark layoffs and tenta- tive plans for a tourist informa- tion centre were two other events in 1987. Moore attended the premier's conference and in the spring he went to the Northwestern Ontario Associated Chambers of Commerce conference. Chamber Treasurer Bryan Cassie reported that to date there are 28 paid up members in the chamber. Futures ' The highlight of the meeting was the presentation given by Leste -- Dickson. ...of > the Schreiber/Terrace Bay Futures Committee. Dickson told the members and invited guests that the Futures program came about after' the government realized a former program was not very successful. The LEAP program (Local Employment Adjustment Program) preceeded Futures but was inadequate. About two years ago Futures replaced LEAP to fill the gaps that existed. The Futures program provides an approach to employment see page 5 Professional activities day -- Separate school board holds professional day St. Martin and Holy Angels schools staff, as well as staff from across the school board, attended a joint professional activities day which was "tremendously suc- cessful", said St. Martin School Principal Tony Speziale. _ One program consisted of Guy 'Ferland conducting a session for the French section staff and French as a Second Language staff. Ferland is a consultant to the board (R.C.S.S.B.) for French services. His presentation focussed on games and activities mainly in the Mathematics and Science curriculum areas. Ted and Nellie Murphy, for- merly of the Ministry of Education, conducted a morning session for the English section staff which included movement analysis, general movement activ- ities, low organization games, use of small apparatus, dance and gymnastics. The Murphys also provide their services to whoever asks for it, St. Martin Principal Speziale said. They also do volunteer work in the Thunder Bay district with the mentally handicapped in physical education. What the staff was shown that day can be applied to their cur- riculum as a teaching technique. Speziale told the News he liked the all-day presentations because it was a new learning experience. "I like the style of the presenters," he said. The presentations will help to keep up the teaching and learning styles of the staff in various sub- ject areas. Weight room users accuse council of being liars By ken Lusk The News Just as the furor over the A&W issue seems to be disap- pearing, Terrace Bay council came under fire again by resi- dents over weight room expan- sion in the recreation complex. Terrace Bay resident and iron pumper Joey Kostecki must have arrived at the meeting in a bad mood. He was eventually calling members of council "liars". Kostecki said that he and his fellow weightlifters were told that the expansion of the weight room would begin on Feb. 1. "They're lies," he said. "If it's not true tell us. If so, when?" Reeve George Ramsay told Kostecki "you're calling people liars." "You believe. (it) I am,' Kostecki replied. Counc. Ziegler told Kostecki that he did believe the expansion would begin on Feb. 1. "I have not lied to you peo- ple," he said. "If I've mislead you I'm sorry." Kostecki told council he has witnesses that these promises were told to him by Councillor Jim Ziegler. There are too many people in that small weight room and some- one is going to get hurt, Kostecki said. "More than six is too many." Kostecki told council the weightlifters are now doing some of the work that is required to keep the room in top working order. He said the weightlifters ask for repairs to be made but that it is never done. "We do all our own oiling. Should we bill you guys for this stuff?" he asked council. Poe ee ee fe eae ae ee ee er ie Kostecki said he goes to the weight room to work out and there are too many people in there. But in the games room there are only four or five kids in there a lot of the time. It's a wasted space and the games are too far apart, he said. "We've been told the expansion is approved and then we're told it's not approved," he said. Terrace Bay Recreation Director Dean Main made an attempt to satisfy Kostecki's questions by saying that the paperwork for the expansion has to go through capital process to be approved. He said the expansion is "ten- tatively approved and he realizes "the usage is way up" in the weight room. Main has to wait for-a file number to be given to the recre- expansion can begin, he said. As far as the safety factor goes, Main told Kostecki he can limit the number of people in there to six until the expansion is completed. "You want, I can limit it," Main said. The expansion would most likely result in the games room being smaller, Main told council. The Schreiber rec complex concession staff responds to comments made by council see page 4
