Commander hopes to reduce number of vehicle accidents by increasing radar Briefly Correction In the March 9 issue of the News, it was incorrectly stated that the biggest salmon would net the fisherman a downrigger in the foreign visitor category. In fact, it is the largest lake trout that will catch the prize. The catcher of the largest lake trout will get his or her name on the Kimberly-Clark trophy and will receive a replica and a prize. There is also a prize for the largest salmon. Out-of-court settlement reached The Township of Terrace Bay reached an out-of-court settle- ment.with the owners of a house issued a building permit in 1980. A cash settlement was made on March 14 relating to prob- lems with the issuance of the permit, and Terrace Bay Clerk- - Treasurer Dave Fulton said it was given without the township admitting liability. The permit was issued at that time by a part-time inspector; however, Terrace Bay has had a full-time inspection service since 1985. Fulton did not disclose the menrmiint at tha-cattlameant By Greg Huneault the News Although he still has to review files to determine priorities, Schreiber's new OPP detachment commander feels strongly about cutting down the number of vehicle accidents in the area. Corporal A.C. (Andy) Templar assumed his duties on March 14 and replaces acting detachment commander Darren Rolland. Corporal Templar was trans- ferred from the Longlac OPP detachment where he held the posi- tion of shift supervisor. Prior to his three-year term in Longlac, he was detachment commander in Beardmore from 1981-'85. A 25-year member of the provincial force, the corporal worked in the Special Services branch during its infancy and was responsible for intelligence gather- ing. He was also a member of the Liquor Law Enforcement section of the OPP between 1968 and 1975. As the OPP officer in charge of policing Schreiber, Corporal Templar doesn't see any major changes in policing concerns or policies. The accent, however, will be on greater enforcement of traffic laws. At a detachment meeting held before he officially started, the cor- poral said that that the constables were concerned with the number of accidents on the highway. "Our main priority will be to reduce motor vehicle accidents," said Templar, adding that the con- stables plan more radar enforce- ment and increased warning to drivers during poor driving condi- tions. He would also like to see greater contact and interaction between the six members of the detachment and the public. After he settles in with his wife to whom he has "'been happily mar- ried for 32 years," the corporal doesn't anticipate much change. "Tt's a matter of getting priori- ties in proper alignment and contin- uing to give the public good polic- ing services," he said. Corporal Templar enjoys curl- ing, fishing and hunting, and hopes to become involved with communi- ty groups after he settles into his new post. With the first official police escort they've had since beginning their tour, five young cyclists pedalled into Terrace Bay while on their way to a city on the other side of the world. The five cyclists are part of theGoodwill Tour 1988, and are riding .from the site of the Winter Games in Calgary to Seoul, South Korea, which will be hosting the 1988 Summer Olympic Games. The tour is the final product of an inspirational Mike Morrissey, a 22-year-old university graduate from Fredericton, P.E.I. Morrissey was inspired to send a message to the host city of the Summer Olympic Games, and to send a message to people every- where of the true meaning of the games. "I wanted to show people what the Olympics stood for. The Olympic movement promotes goodwill (continuously by) holding a sports festival every four years," he explained. Morrissey said not everyone will be able to attend the Olympic Games in person, so the group has brought a book along in which citi- zens are encouraged to write their names and any messages to the people of Seoul. "Sports is an ideal medium to promcte goodwill," and this book is a great way for "ordinary people" lo express support and good inten- tions, he told the News. In addition to the book contain- ing names of citizens, the group also has a book containing mes- sages for the mayor and people of Seoul from officials of every town the cyclists pass through. Included are messages from Prime Minister Mulroney an other federal digni- taries. Terrace Bay was no exception as the five cyclists and members of a support van rolled into the Recreation Centre Friday after- noon. Greeted by town officiaries, the five were presented with a letter of goodwill by Reeve Ramsay. by Greg Huneault the News The four men and one woman crew will continue on their tour along the Trans Canada Highway and expect to arrive at Halifax by April 21. From there, they will fly to England and bike the British Isles before continuing on to Europe. The six-month trek will cross 20 countries before they arrive in Seoul Sept. 13. The tour is intended to link the spirit of the Winter and Summer Games. Although they appreciate fund- ing by Labatt's, MacDonald's Esso fuel and Discount Truck Rentals, Morrissey said the members of the tour have paid 30-40 thousand dol- lars out of their own pockets for expenses. Financial hardship is not the only difficulty they have encountered. Morrissey said they hit a "dust storm" on the Prairies as well as a few strong winds. He recalled one windy day when the back wind was so strong it blew them along and allowed them to glide at about 25 kilometers per hour. into the hills He also stated that the hardest part of the Canadian trek would be when they rode "into the hills" -- the area between Thunder. Bay and Sault Ste. Marie. The group was averaging 140 kilometers per day, but since they started riding into this area they've managed between 90 and 100 km per day. While in the Recreation Centre, Mike explained to a young boy who had signed the book how excited the youngster would be if he were to ever travel to Seoul and see the book in person. For the five bicyclists pedalling across the world, that message of goodwill and direct participation means everything. Schreiber's new OPP detachment commander, Corporal Andy Templar. Corp. Templar assumed his present duties March 14 after serving in Longlac.
