Summer Bicycle Safety In recent weeks since the bicy- cle rodeo, there has been an improvement in bike riding habits of young people in Schreiber. There has, however, been inci- dents of bicyclists riding carelessly. We would urge parents to review some of the rules of the road with your children because we do not want any accidents involving your children and vehicles. Did you know that 34 Ontario residents were killed in bicycle accidents in 1980 and 3,394 people were injured. Fifty per cent of these accidents involved children under the age of 14. There are three problem areas that have been identified by the Ministry of Transportation. 1. Lack of knowledge and observance of the rules of the road and safe driving practices 2. Lack of proper equipment such s reflectors and lights 3. Lack of ability to handle the particular type and size of bicycle A Safety Check of all bikes in recent Bike Rodeo revealed that bikes are not being maintained properly. Deficiencies ranged from no brakes to loose nuts and bolts. Parents, please check your chil- dren's bikes so that no accidents occur from negligence. Here are some basic safety rules; Land For Sale Five lots, corner of Kingsway Road and Walker's Lake Road, Schreiber, Ontario. .

In most of these investigations, vic- tims were unable to provide serial numbers. The serial number is the most important identifiable mark on any piece of equipment.

Some members of the march continued to shout slogans and attract attention with a hand- cranked siren as they made their way back to the starting point. The shouts of "Don't blow your nose in Kleenex" are in reference to the trade mark tissue product made by Kimberly-Clark of Canada. Shouts of "Go home Yankees" were used to draw attention to alle- gations that the Kimberly-Clark mill in Terrace Bay is receiving wood chip supplies from the United States, while the strike is continuing. Union Local President Fred Miron was at the helm of the march and said he saw it as "a show of solidarity. It's been five weeks now (since workers went on strike)," he added. He told the News that the Director of the mediation branch of the Ministry of Labour has invited union and management officials to meet in Toronto on Friday, June 17. Miron said the selling price for pulp has risen dramatically in the past two years, so some of the increased revenue ought to be steered toward employees. "Back in '86 we said we'd work with them (Kimberly-Clark) to bring expenses down. We put in extra effort; we realized it wasn't an endless pot," Miron told the News. -He said members have made "terrific concessions" and are con- cerned about losing their jobs. "What do you do with a $120,000 house in Nakina," he asked rhetorically to point out employee concems possibly mov- ing to find employment elsewhere. "IT don't like it at all," said Longlac resident and woodlands employee Frank Gallant. "T lost 32 years of my life. They took the wood close to Longlac. Now it's far and they leave us behind," he added. Gallant voiced his opinion as the march was swinging around the cul-de-sac at the end of Lakeview Drive. Two Pinkerton security guards in a pickup truck were posi- tioned off the road and were taking notes. Some in the march jeered and made derogatory remarks to the security guards, whose company _ has been given a contract to pro- vide extra security measures during the strike. The marchers made their way back to the starting point of the protest, but instead of ending the march, most continued on to the picket line on Mill Road. Throughout the protest, OPP and Terrace Bay constables provid- ed escorts and traffic control to ensure safety. When the march arrived at the picket line, the police converged while other Pinkerton security officers took video pictures of the gathering. The crowd quickly dispersed, and the employees and their fami- lies took a short walk over to the baseball field where a barbecue lunch was served. Needs could be met through program continued from page 12 Grand Chief, Nishnawbe-Aski Nation; James Cutfeet, director, Northern Nishnawbe education Council; Bill Sault, senior project officer, Canada Employment and Immigration; and the Honourable Lyn McLeod, minister of Colleges and Universities.
